Dunno if anyone's ever played this before, but im sure other games have a similar system. On G-Police you can control this helecopter thing so that it can move around on the y axis (turn) and tilt up and down. I cant get the flight to work as when I tilt up or down I want the ship to keep facing the same angle downwards but turns around the y axis. What it does now is rotates around the craft's y axis so it gradually faces the other direction.

try using the pitch, roll and turn commands - i think they rotate the object without changing the angles. not sure but give it a go

Nah, using the pitch,roll etc commands does basically the same as the rotate object commands. I've used them in this code of what I've sort of got, just incase anyone didnt get my first explanation - imagine a pole through the top of the box, this pole always stays perfectly vertical and however much it tips forward or backward, it always rotates around this pole when turning, keeping it at the same angle.
