This is a client side mod that adds some commands to change how the physics works for when you are in spectator mode.
/heli_cam - Toggles the custom physics (only works when in spectator mode)
/heli_cam_plane_toggle - Toggles between helicopter and plane modes
/heli_cam_stabilise_toggle - Toggles if the mod tries to keep you upright, ideal for plane mode with mouse control
/heli_cam_upright_on_ground_toggle - Toggles if the mod forces you to be upright on ground collision
The mod adds 2 extra keybinds for the yaw of the aircraft, by default these are Q and R but as they conflict with drop and inventory, you may want to either rebind those or the vanilla ones.
W and S controls the pitch, A and D controls the roll input.
The mouse can also be used as an input.
Holding Jump and Crouch will adjust the throttle (displayed in the top left).
You can also toggle on the Cinimatic camera (a keybind you can set in vanilla)
