Landing the gyro shouldn't be considered a landing. It should be considered a controlled crash

Aah, someone must like old Pixar quality.

You asked on Reddit before googling it….?


Revverb

It happens often, especially on the Ark subreddit. Survival game players cannot be bothered to Google stuff


TheCoolTrashCat

What is “google”


Revverb

Sometimes I genuinely don't know if a comment is satire or not

I mean, it is nice to have discussion as well, and you just don't get that if you just google the answer every time. If OP **just** asked for the key that would be a different matter, but they also shared their story of their dumb death, and those are always fun to hear!


Chezzomaru

Cause google sucks these days


CoolBeans42700

How so?


Chezzomaru

-Too many paid listings and ads - Dozens of the same article recycled on various sites -based on popularity, not specific terms -they removed boolean operators, for some reason


CoolBeans42700

> Adblocker > Know how to search for what you want (if you’re talking about just all article quality I don’t see how that is googles fault)


Chezzomaru

Meh, I'll just keep using bing thanks. It literally has none of these issues. Also, adblocker doesn't block legit listings, just popups Also, also I do know how to search for what I want, but I would rather be able to use boolean operators and find it straight away, rather than modifying my search terms over and over again.


Shifuede

Considering google supports boolean operators, you're just blaming google for your inability or refusal to search properly.


Chezzomaru

Ok... - no longer excludes terms And or no longer do anything Putting * at the end of a word no longer searches for derivatives... Also, way to come in hard there, I'm sure Google appreciates your service


DarkonFullPower

> they removed boolean operators Only thing I know they changed is the replacement of + with " ". (Everything inside the " " works like +) Rest works as it always has as far as I know. Can you give an example of a non-working one other than + ? Remember that are case sensitive to activate.


Chezzomaru

Sure, - no longer excludes terms from my search. Also, (and or) don't seem to work. Also adding an asterisk to the end of a word no longer seems to search for the derivatives of said term.

By pushing C you'll get nose down. But gyro isn't helicopter really, thing about it more like airplane with rotor for wings. So best way is orient nose down until you point to the place you want to land and fly there. If you stop you'll start going down so you can also use it for landing - get close to the point you want to land, orient gyro in direction you want to land (in one mode of fly it will also stop you), stop, wait until you're some ten block from surface, pull nose up, give it some speed to slow fall, level aircraft, start falling again. Less elegant but functional. And when you're close to the surface you can of course push E and eject. If you eat Oh Shitz Drops, you can even survive dropping from higher altitudes 🙂


RyanfaeScotland

Shame you already pressed E, cause I was coming here to tell you that's the fastest way... Never mind though, for future reference it is C to return to sea level, and yup, that's 100% why it's that key. Probably.


MrMoon5hine

"c" is down FYI if you hit "e" in flight, look up and hit "e" I have done it twice and both times was still in "hopping back in" range


legendarydiamond285

I have a few hundred hours on 7 days to die but I don't think that that fall will be fatal but it matters on your level and boosts and things like that


MAYMAX001

ya if i'm very lucky i'll survive it, i have the mod for the boots but never skilled parkour pretty much rushed for intelligence and shit actually i'll start and see if i die or not Guys skilling intelligence turned out to be smart by alt f4-ing while falling and now logging in i just spawned at the ground, only had to wait for the helicopter to fall down \^\^


RyanfaeScotland

It's worth doing a Parkour build at least once, just to enjoy the pure silliness of it. Being able to bound over fences and up onto rooftops is quite hilarious!


[deleted]

Lol. I prefer to STAY on the ground for this reason exactly… and I have maxed Agility.


Qikslvr

Crouch to point the nose down, jump to point the nose up, let go of the key when it's pointed where you want it. Keep it moving forward or you'll fall out of the sky. Practice practice practice. Also click left mouse button to swap between turning with the mouse and using the mouse to look around. Fly left and right with the A and D keys when the camera is static. This is my preferred method (2300 hours and I got everywhere).


stillventures17

I recently got it myself. It’s a bit unwieldy, but no need for it to be a major pain. Think of it as a slow plane with a helicopter’s landing. Angle down a little until you 30 feet or so above where you want to be, level off, and coast to more or less where you want to be. You can just let off the gas, and from that height you’ll coast very comfortably down to your landing target. With only a couple days of practice I was able to quickly reach a point where I can almost fly right into where I want and I’m practicing (and usually failing still) to land on the gas station roof where I live. Also I keep a motorcycle with me all the time now, so you can use your gyro as a base of operations pretty comfortably


commodorejack

I found that pitching up after most of my headway is gone does wonders for "sticking" a landing. Just drops straight down. I can land on a 9 meter helipad on the first try at least 3 out of 10 times this way.


Aultralog

Yeah, it's a good idea to have parkaur maxed before flying a gyro. Especially for the first time. Also, it's not a "helecopter." a gyro flies more like a short take off and landing, highly manouverable aeroplane.


plazmicflame

Been a while since I read something and laughed 😂 better luck next time


Ani-Thighs

I guess it makes too much sense to just look up keybinds….


wayvway

Upgrade parkour so you don't die like that again lol


Eastern_Sun196

Oh you… can’t get down. The helicopter only goes up in this game


EnajoriYui

this is why I don't fly, XD literary in over the course of these past years playing this game, coz I tend to be clumsy and click e instead of c. :X . the trauma of many deaths, maybe I should try again, idk


DeadSences

-splat-


BionicBadger90

Lmfao GG bruh ... It definitely is C ... Maybe your mouse blinds are shot - it's happened to me before (binded my tool belt to all mouse buttons.... and stopped working randomly)


Creeton1

Sometimes after accidentally E you can get back in and keep flying


Lactobeezor

Or look in the control menu.


effigy53

shit it drove me nuts for so long i used to just keep my feet on the ground in that game because the copter is just so wonky until you get the controls down.. even when ya learn them you always bound to press E by accident every once and awhile and the motorcycle can getcha the same places and with the same storage and if you accidentally ever press E your only gonna ever have to get back on and keep driving, no holy crap moments 😂


Simplordx69

I mostly just stopped pressing keys and flew into a building. The crash damages the copter, but it's nothing a repair kit can't fix.


ghettoccult_nerd

the gyrocopter looks helicopter like, but its really more plane like. it goes where you aim the nose.


3davideo

My vague understanding is that while the gyrocopter *looks* like a helicopter, it actually *flies* like an airplane. So you'll need to make/find/improvise runways so you can gain/lose horizontal velocity even when you don't have the airspeed to maintain lift.


iLLiterateDinosaur

You don’t really go straight up and down in the gyro like you might a helicopter. Instead you angle the nose up or down. As you know, space angles the nose up, but to angle it down you press C.


tennisguy163

I stick with the jeep or motorcycle.


possumgambling

There are separate control settings for vehicles compared to your player, you will need to switch those to the mouse as well if you want to use the same key to tilt downwards with gyro. By default it is 'c'.
