    New Airplane Control Assist option added

    Airplane Control Assist is a new, easier way to fly that steers the plane toward the centre of your camera view and handles pitch, roll and yaw for you.

    A new option steers the aircraft towards the centre of your camera view and manages pitch, roll and yaw.

    • Game Update 1.4.2.0 adds Airplane Control Assist, which EA describes as an alternative, more approachable way to pilot airplanes. The vehicles section of the changelog says it guides the aircraft towards the centre of the camera view while automatically managing pitch, roll and yaw. EA published no figures for it and does not say where the option sits in the menus.

    TipIf you gave up on flying in Battlefield 6, this is the update to try again, because you point the camera where you want to go and the assist manages pitch, roll and yaw for you. EA does not name the menu it lives in, so look for it in your options before you take an airplane rather than mid-flight.
