ok i give up…

you need to be near a titan to get any real hight – then its just a canse of mouse for direction, and press forward for… ummm… forward!

or jump from the titan – thats always fun:)

Best way is to tilt the camera down and look where your feet would be, then as mentioned use the movement keys.

Although pod movement does vary a bit depending on what your launching from.

Titan Pods – have the greatest movement area

APC – medium movement area, unless within Titan deployment range

Drop ship – dependent on height from ground (note do not pod out of air transport at very low altitudes or when it’s coming in to land. This will result in the drop ship hitting and TKing you)

Spawn becons – very minimal movement – talking a couple of feet, if that.

Remember the pod is also a leathal weapon.

Pods launched from height can normaly take out most tanks/apc’s/drop ships/favs/static guns with a direct hit – Just remember not to hang about in the wreckage or the secondary explosion may kill you.

Would also suggest when poding into a hot LZ, to try and land on a building or some kind of roof top etc. The elevated position gives you an advantage in combat and also those handy few seconds to re-orientate yourself on landing.
