ARK: Survival Evolved – Immersive Flight Reborn Mod
Immersive Flight Reborn Pilot’s Manual
The modern includes novel flying physics, including momentum together with drag calculations, diving, collisions alongside objects, together with the powerfulness to soar… but commencement nosotros get got to brand sure enough yous get got a flyer available.
First, larn yourself i of the next flyers:
- Argentavis
- Lymantria
- Pelagornis
- Pteranodon
- Quetzalcoatlus
- Tapejara
- Wyverns
We’ll comprehend inwards particular how each of these flyers differ, together with whatever of their special mechanics, inwards a moment. First nosotros remove to Evolve your chosen flyer. Gather a stimberry, take in the costless engram for the ‘Evolver’, together with arts and crafts i inwards the Consumables>Drugs tab of your inventory. Make sure enough that if you’re evolving a Quetzal yous accept whatever structures off of its platform saddle, together with so larn ahead together with feed the Evolver to your flyer. It should boot yous out of the inventory, together with straight off you’re fix for the basic flying mechanics!
Immersive Flight Reborn
Firstly, flyers tin walk backward inwards this mod, together with they no longer auto-fly when yous larn on them. Also accept Federal Reserve annotation of a duo of buffs that are on all IF flyers: Speed together with Altitude. Altitude exclusively really affects Quetzal, we’ll larn to that inwards a minute, but peculiarly sentry your Speed. H5N1 flyer’s speed changes every bit it flies based on many factors, together with this approximate volition enjoin yous how you’re doing. Before yous accept off both of these buffs volition only read ‘Landed’ every bit there’s non much to report, but i time yous accept to the air they volition read your speed inwards Meters/Second together with your superlative inwards a higher house either the the world or H2O inwards Meters.
Now getting to the basics of really flying, you’ll commencement discovery that your flyer automatically moves frontwards without input. Unless it is a flyer alongside the powerfulness to hover, it tin no longer halt inwards mid-air, it has to proceed flying, so soaring existence rattling useful. It also does non flap its wings automatically anymore, except to proceed itself inwards the air at depression speeds. You must enjoin your flyer that yous desire to accelerate past times sprinting, at which shout for it volition flap its wings . This costs to a greater extent than stamina than only soaring inwards a higher house a sure enough speed, but it volition motility the flyer to accelerate, which is why flapping upwards to the maximum speed together with so soaring until yous dull downwardly a fleck is the almost efficient plane of long-distance flight. You tin also gain speed past times aiming downward, together with yous lose speed past times aiming upward or if yous halt flapping. So:
- Left Shift (Run): Tells the flyer to flap its wings.
- S: Forces the flyer to dive without needing to aim downwardly manually (your flyer volition arc downward when yous represent this button)
If yous desire your flyer to maintain its heading together with proceed soaring roughly at a laid height, only tap X. This toggles the flyer’s ‘Mouseflight’ mode, which is on past times default. In Mouseflight, the flyer functions every bit normal together with aims where yous are pointing without whatever other input. When it’s off, the flyer aligns itself to the horizon together with keeps going inwards whatever direction it was already heading. With Mouseflight off, yous tin utilization H5N1 together with D to steer left together with right, or represent westward to brand the flyer larn where you’re looking again. This means:
- X: Toggle Mouseflight
- A/D: Steer inwards Mouseflight mode
- W: Enable Mouseflight spell held
When it’s fourth dimension to land, only represent Spacebar together with Shift together, together with your flyer volition get braking. Below a sure enough speed, yous tin touching the the world together with the flyer volition land, but last careful non to brake also high upwards every bit it costs a lot of stamina for almost flyers to hover similar this, together with yous may run out of stamina earlier yous achieve the ground. Also, inwards the hereafter landing at high speeds volition bargain damage, so assay non to brake also tardily either.
Individual Flyers
Now that yous know the basics of how to wing inwards general, nosotros tin accept a expect at how to grip each flyer individually, together with what makes them special. For starters, the commencement flyer you’ll probable tame:
The Pteranodon
- Top Speed: 28 m/s
- Top Diving Speed: 35 m/s
- Acceleration: Fast
- Stamina Usage: High
This flyer accelerates rattling chop-chop together with has the fastest base of operations speed, but flapping uses quite a fleck of stamina together with it is non every bit aerodynamic every bit a feathered bird, so it is non well-suited for soaring cracking distances. But, if yous invention out your trips alongside plenty of balance stops, yous tin easily comprehend them faster than a plane might.
- New Ability: Side rolls
Double-tap H5N1 or D spell inwards Mouseflight to perform a barrel curlicue to the side. These practise no damage, but are useful for dodging obstacles or attacks.
The Argentavis
- Top Speed: 24 m/s
- Top Diving Speed: 38 m/s
- Acceleration: Medium
- Stamina Usage: Low
The Argentavis doesn’t accelerate quite every bit chop-chop every bit Pteranodon, or to the same high speed, but it is rattling aerodynamic together with tin maintain near-top speed alongside minimal effort. It volition larn yous places a fiddling slower, but it is perfectly suited for long-distance travel, together with tin remain inwards the air for the whole trip.
- New Ability: Vulturesight
Hold Spacebar spell looking at the the world together with all creatures inwards a 30m-radius sphere volition larn indicators placed on them, visible to the rider. This powerfulness has a rattling fast cooldown, together with tin last useful for spotting dinos hidden inwards foliage-dense areas.
The Pelagornis
- Top Speed: 24 m/s
- Top DIving Speed: forty m/s
- Acceleration: Medium
- Stamina Usage: Very Low
This plane won’t last breaking whatever speed records, but alongside its massive wingspan together with torpedo-like torso it tin easily soar for miles inwards a higher house the ocean. This mountain is perfect for large island-hops, every bit fifty-fifty if it needs to halt for component of the trip it tin nation on the water.
- New Ability: Diving
Diving through the air together with hitting the H2O volition permit the Pelagornis to dive underwater together with swim around, eating fish. If it runs out of stamina or gets unopen to the surface, it volition last placed dorsum ontop together with last able to accept off again.
Tapejara
- Top Speed: 24 m/s
- Top Diving Speed: 33 m/s
- Acceleration: Fast
- Stamina Usage: Medium
It glides together with soars alongside ease, together with its massive wings give it a quick acceleration, but generate to a greater extent than drag together with limit its maximum speed. It tin all the same latch onto walls to find stamina together with below a sure enough speed it tin all the same hover, but inwards a higher house that speed it functions similar whatever other flyer. Useful for aerial ambushes.
Quetzalcoatlus
- Top Speed: 12 m/s at 50m, xxx m/s at 300m
- Top Diving Speed: xxx m/s
- Acceleration: Slow
- Stamina Usage: Medium
The Quetzal is the exclusively flyer that really makes utilization of the height mechanics, where the higher upwards it goes the faster its base of operations speed gets. Its speed is genuinely rather abyssmal below 50m, but at 300m it tin outpace almost other flyers.
Lymantria
- Top Speed: twenty m/s
- Top Diving Speed: 25 m/s
- Acceleration: Medium
- Stamina Usage: Medium
Lymantria is really non suited for long-distance or high-speed flight, instead existence useful every bit a bomber every bit usual, together with straight off every bit a farm hand! It makes upwards for its misfortunate fighting abilities alongside a few novel helpful utility abilities.
- New Ability: Silk Production
It straight off passively produces silk at a dull but useful rate. It stores a max of 100, together with produces ii every v minutes. - New Ability: Spore waterer
Its spore laid on tin last used to H2O crops without irrigation, allowing desert crops to thrive inwards spite of the depression amount of water. Simply laid on nigh the crops to H2O them. - New Ability: Hover
It gains the same hovering powerfulness that Tapejara has.
Wyvern
- Top Speed: 26 m/s
- Top Diving Speed: forty m/s
- Acceleration: Slow
- Stamina Usage: Medium on ground, High inwards air
Wyverns are rattling heavy, together with every bit such get got incredible dive speeds together with tin easily maintain their speed. However, this agency they are awful at gaining altitude, together with it takes quite a fleck of forcefulness to accelerate. They get got a fox upwards their sleeves to counter this though.
- New Ability: Runway Take-off
Sprinting along the the world volition motility the Wyvern to gain speed, which it volition bear alongside it when it takes off. It is much cheaper to run than to flap, so this helps it wing to a greater extent than efficiently.
Note
There are also a publish of tike features that aren’t really of import to flying itself, but volition last handy to last aware of:
- The Wind audio together with air particles appear inwards a higher house your Soaring Speed. If yous run across together with listen them, so yous know it’s possible to soar.
- The wingtip trails appear inwards a higher house your maximum base of operations speed, showing that the flyer is diving.
- Flyers plow faster inwards Mouseflight manner than they practise alongside A/D or diving.
- All flyers tin swim, but exclusively Pelagornis tin accept off i time again from water. Also Lymantria volition drown inwards water.
- Stamina usage for both flapping together with soaring is reduced dramatically when you’re going fast plenty to soar.
- Wings get got to a greater extent than forgiving collisions than the body, exclusively slowing downwardly the flyer instead of knocking it out of the air.
