Moving Airplanes free around?

Hi there,

i saw on Twitch and also in Multiplayer that some Users are moving their planes around without flying, just placing them somewhere else in the game.

How can i do this? is this a hidden feature?

Thanks!

This isn’t a hidden feature, it’s something called slew mode, where by you can change the location of your aircraft, you should check it out in the control settings.

Yes you could move the aircraft around, unfortunately I do not know which key as your controls could differ from mine (I’ve customized my controls) Sorry, I couldn’t help you in this regard.

Yes, “Y” to toggle on/off. Then Numeric Keypat 2 & 8 (forward/backward), 4 & 6 (left/right). There are other keys for pitch, roll, and yaw (pointing in a new direction).

Unfortunately, on my machine, every tap of a slew key launches the plane about a half-mile ('ish), so it’s impossible to use for small position adjustments. I typically use it to tweak aircraft position before saving, or if I get stuck somehow (try “accidentally” running up to a solid building, and you are stuck - no way out unless you slew but slew sends me flying through woods, or out over water half the time - not helpful). Good luck.
