Is it possible to change the controls for flying back to how they were in BF3 when using an xbox controller
Yeah, there’s a tab for it. It takes a bit of time to mess with and get everything how you want it. I use it for mine. I blame years of console FPS playing.
Nah, there’s just no comparison for flying with joysticks vs a mouse. Did you get it so your left trigger doesn’t activate free look? I can’t brake while in the cockpit without it going “oh he wants to turn his head”.
I don’t have a button for free look anymore. U can delete or you can nap it to r3 or something. U can delete it entirely by holding escape. Hope that helps.
I did, I went through the entire list (even foot controls) and deleted all free-look controls and made sure nothing else had the trigger mapped as the button. Still won’t work right. I guess I’ll reset to default and re-do everything so maybe it’ll update right?
I’ll look into it. I didn’t get a chance last night. I’ll let you know.
It only applies when in cockpit view. Chase cam is fine. I hit the trigger and it brakes, but I can’t pitch or roll (yaw will work since it’s on left thumbstick) because it thinks I want to look around.

I find that to be a very interesting idea. Do continue.
Gobble gobble gobble.
have you tried deleting all of the free look axis settings?
Yeah I tried it but it still activated free look so I was locked looking forward and the controls were “free look activated”- thumbstick was still not operational.
However, I downloaded the.. realware? realmware? bf4 control editor and when I started it up it said that the left trigger was mapped to free look even though BF4’s menus said it wasn’t. I fixed it on that editor and it fixed everything!
Sweet. Didn’t know that existed. Glad you found your answer
Yeah. I was so stoked I forgot to post here that I found the fix. Link to download here.
And the first match I got my flying back? The enemy pilot was hacking so I couldn’t do shit. 
I don’t throw hackusations around lightly, but there’s no way you can shoot down enemy jets with 1 burst each, never missing, while they are doing any and every aerial maneuver. 30/1 K/D and 31 vehicle destroys in a 25 minute match? I can respect skill but I just don’t believe that’s legit.
