Frequently Asked Questions

How Do You Spawn a Plane in Unturned?

With the help of cheats, you can instantly spawn any item in Unturned, including planes. To enable cheats, simply tick the checkbox next to “Cheats” in the game menu. To bring up the cheat input box, press the “J” key, then type in the “@give [item ID]” command.

The ID of a Fighter Jet is 140, Sandpiper – 92, Otter – 96, Rainbow Hatchback – 109, Coastguard Seaplane – 810, Auto Gyro – 846, and Belgium Skyland Plane – 9006.

Can You Fly a Plane Without License?

In Unturned, you don’t need a license to fly a plane. In real life, of course, there are limitations – for most planes, you need to have a license, depending on the type of plane and local legislation.

How Do You Start Flying an Airplane?

To start flying a plane in Unturned, you must first find a flat surface that is long enough to gain speed. Then, press and hold the “W” key. Once you gain the max speed, move your mouse towards you to take off.

Don’t release the “W” key even when you’re in the air unless you want to decelerate. Do not lose speed too rapidly, or you will crash.

How Do You Fly a Helicopter in Unturned?

Flying a helicopter in Unturned is different from flying a plane, although the controls remain the same. As with a plane, you need to first have the necessary equipment – a gas can and a blowtorch.

Once you get in the helicopter, press and hold the “W” button to take off – you don’t need to gain speed, so you can take off from nearly any surface. To fly faster, tilt the nose of a helicopter down, to fly slower – raise it up.

Use the “A” and “D” keys to turn. To land, simply press and hold the “S” key. Be aware, though – don’t land too fast, otherwise, you may crash or even explode.

What Is an Unturned Plane ID?

IDs identify items in the game. There are seven types of planes in Unturned, each having a different ID. The ID of the Sandpiper plane is 92. It’s one of the fastest planes in the game, however, you need to have good skill to control it.

The ID of a two-seater Otter plane is 96. The ID of a legendary Rainbow Hatchback is 109, Fighter Jet – 140, Coastguard Seaplane – 810, Auto Gyro – 846. To get the Belgium Skyland plane, use the “@give 9006” command.

Practice Makes Perfect

Hopefully, with the help of our guide, you’ll become a great pilot in Unturned. Flying a plane is, without doubt, more complicated than driving a car, so you shouldn’t despair if you can’t control it at first. Everything takes practice, and over time you’ll get the hang of it.

If you find keyboard and mouse controls uncomfortable, try using a joystick, even if playing on a PC – a lot of players find them better for controlling aircraft.
