Oh man, driving a chopper in GTA 5 is like trying to pat your head and rub your belly at the same time, but here goes: First up, get in the helicopter. Then, use the right trigger (RT on Xbox/ R2 on PlayStation) to ascend and the left trigger (LT on Xbox/ L2 on PlayStation) to descend. You'll steer with the left stick, pushing forward to move forward and pulling back to move backwards. The right stick controls your pitch and rotation - so, if you wanna do a cool turn or tilt the chopper, that's your go-to. And don't forget, practice makes perfect. GTA's physics can be a bit wacky, so give yourself some time to get used to it!
Honestly, flying helicopters in GTA 5 is trickier than it looks. I spent more time crashing than flying when I first started. My tip? Go to the flight school in the game. It actually helps. Plus, you make some in-game money while learning. Win-win!
