So I use custom Helicopter controls with my mouse and keyboard (see screenshot). Cyclic left and right is bound to Mouse left and right. Unfortunately, today I discovered that it negatively affects parachuting. Every time I move my mouse to the left or right it does two actions: One, it moves camera to the left or right (as it should), and two, it steers parachute to the left or right. And it seems I can't stop it no matter what, whether I double tap ALT or hold it, it always steers the parachute.
What's important, it only does that with steering left or right. The Helicopter Cyclic forward/backward controls don't affect parachute steering at all.
In my opinion parachute steering should be connected to Infantry movement controls and not helicopters. Maybe it's just a bug seeing as it affects it only partially, but it definitely shouldn't be like that. With those helicopter controls I can't look around while parachuting, because I'm spinning like crazy (and those heli controls are most intuitive to me).
