Tips
Landing - Fly in low, use your shadow to tell how centered you are on the LZ. Use your landing gear as brackets for lining it up as well.
Flying - Enter cockpit in 1st person, when seated, zoom out. Right click and hold.
General - If you go too fast you’ll lose the baseplate. They do take damage.
Precision flying - Leave your vertical thrusters at a hover, then press R and put your horizontal thrusters to about 1/3-1/2 to the first notch of the center ring. This should not affect your flight unless you nose down a little bit. You can then bring that throttle back to empty and back to where it was to give it gentle taps of thrust.
Fast landing, non-precision - Do the steps from the precision flying, but this time hold the nose down on a clear path to land at any point. Leave the horizontal thrust where it is instead of gentle taps. When there is a clear landing space ahead of you bring the nose up far enough to slow the craft down, and on approach deploy the landing gear. When the shadows stop moving over your craft you are at a steady hover. You can then press R and slowly reduce the vertical thrust. This will allow you to go from moving, to a hover, to slowly descending (If done right) to on the ground with no damage within 5-10 seconds. When your landing gear is on the ground, start letting the nose drop, press R again, cut off horizontal thrusters, then press R a third time and start letting the nose drop to the ground gently, then you can cut off horizontal thrusters as well. This maneuver takes confidence in your ability and practice. When you're confident enough to try it, I recommend doing so, as it may not be precise, but it is the fastest way to safely land the pelican.
