Auto-level (K): Instantly levels the helicopter for easy landings or stabilization.
Auto-throttle & rotor visuals: Options to auto-neutralize throttle or disable rotor animations to optimize gameplay performance.
Other controls: Rear view (U), map creation (O), altitude lock (P), HUD/camera mode (C), and exit (Y) add comfort and utility.
Armaments: Mounted rockets (R) and missiles (M) let you engage mobs, defend your base, or clear terrain from the sky
