There is a CONFIRMED fix for the 3rd person Helicopter view mess up.
Its currently up and running on the dev build 1.71. They are talking about an intermediate update to the main build, no word on when yet but a working dev build test has been verified to have fixed the issues by a few people anyway. Soon i can fly again without wanting to through my keyboard through the screen.
You can test it yourself by downloading the dev build but it wont work for the server as it runs the main build.
Im glad that BI has acknowledged their mistake are worked to correct this massive mistake.
Arma 3 has thee best helicopter flight experience of any game Ive played and while its not the main reason i play arma 3, it is a big part. I can still fly and land now but its not the same and its not as it should be. Helicopters don't fly or land like a jet. Sure i can fly 1st person but i still like my 3rd person view unmolested by the fix wing view mode.
