A few more things: - Adults and late stage juveniles can simply run and hold space to also take off. For taking off as early juvenile, jumping from high places and mashing F on the way down can allow you to take flight. - Tap A and D rather than holding them, as turning sharply will cause you to lose altitude. It’s best to slow down when making sharp turns, or tilting up while turning. You also shouldn’t fly straight up as it will cause you to stall/hover. - Space and Shift seem to have a toggle function when tapped, even if it is disabled in settings. You may find your dragon is flying very slow or fast. Tapping the corresponding control can stop this from happening. - Diving while holding space can tend to make you take damage when landing, even if you are moving slowly through the air. If you hear air whooshing while descending. You will most likely be hurt when touching the ground. - If you crash into something while flying, you may be able to hit F and begin flying again before landing. -If you are hovering and shift does not help you fly forward, you can angle downwards slightly to begin moving foward. Be careful with this as your dragon tends to shoot forward and you may crash.
Thank god for people like you! The controls made absolutely no sense to me as to why the dragon kept stalling and falling out of the air. Keep the momentum up. Would be nice if they would include that in the controls. Thank you so much. Have a nice day :)
I'm thinking about getting DoD- and I can tell I will have a lot to learn before I can master it- Was researchin' stuff abt gameplay and found this! Very helpful so ik what I'm getting into and lovely video. ^^
To take off, I just press shift and f while doing a sprinting jump, then hold shift and w (I have the controls inversed.) It seems a touch simpler than the default way I think.
I remember when I first bought DoD and I got the chance to fly i nearly killed my dragon upon landing and take-off failures, so I came to UA-cam and watched this, it was so helpful I subscribed and now I find myself able to out maneuver most other players with relative ease, and it all started here :)
@@hermon1985 I grew another dragon and now I can't even get off the ground and I followed what the video was doing..... idk what the heck is going on lol
@@Silverwolf387 haha the inverted controls helped me big time but i was still having crashes to the ground here in there with Mouse and Keyboard. I got it but still it was hit or miss here and there and you get hurt bad depending how high you fall from lol I ended up hooking up a Gaming Controller and it is MUCH easier now to fly plus the inverted controls. I was struggling with the camera angle also but the controller made all the difference. I still have moments here and there having a issue getting off the ground which i hope gets ironed out but for the most part now i am doing much better now.
F will activate fly but it is a little fiddley. As a baby if you are dropped from up high you can press F and enter fly mode to glide safely back down to the ground. However you need to be close to 40% through Juvenile before you can managed powered flight. Sometimes if you stall in take off you can press F and sometimes give yourself a kick to get yourself going.
Make sure you are the right age to achieve powered flight (just before you reach halfway on Juvenile) and that you are on a server with minimal ping. Sometimes on servers with a high ping you can desync and it won't let you get airborne. Holding the W and Space bar a little longer during takeoff can also help as you have to keep momentum to take off and any sort of stall can prevent this.
@@TheGingeQueen Aye it can be tricky to find the cause of these things so I'm just running down a list of what it might be . Once you get in the air though and start flying it really is amazing.
To land, I just press space and let the dragon go into hover mode all the way down. I rather be cautious since I kept on crashing into the ground when I tried your method. Is this method good too?
Its still a great method and can give you practice with distence and speed. Being up too high or moving too fast before pressing F will send you crashing, but over time you will get the hand of judging it. Always do what works for you.
Last night my buddy and I flew for the first time! It was a struggle, we literally were like two juvies learning for the first time 😆 it was great fun. But we were told to use F while taking off is that necessary or not? Based on what you've shown F is only for landing?
F is very useful for younger dragons who don't have the acceleration they need to achieve powered flight. Think of F as landing gear. It tucks your legs in and gets you ready for flight. Adults are able to get into the air where they don't have to tell the game (with F) that flying is what they are trying to do. F, can also be useful if you stall during take off.
@@Lusewing So when do you use F? After you jump into the air? As you're using Shift+S? Do you tap it or hold it? Sorry it was very confusing while we were trying it.
@@aerykgunn No worries at all - there are are lot of things to juggle. F can be pressed after you get into the air I will hold Shift and S untill i have the altitude I want. Normally when i jump I will hold the space bar a little longer while pressing S as this seems to stop me from stalling out.
You and me both. It took me ages to get my head around the controls but now...there is nothing to compare. I'm really looking forward to the Singe crest too experience how it flies.
Hii! Just what I was looking for, thanks. I changed all default dancing can you tell me what the button names are for the default S&W and any other buttons you used. I changed them
If you have the controls inverted then it will just be S and W that will be swapped round so whenever I say S you would press W and whenever I say W you press S
NGL I like The Isle's Camera based flight better as it is smoother where pressing space helps you gain altitude - it appeals to a larger player base - and means people won't be put of by other players being elitist weirdos about the controls. THAT BEING SAID - I like the idea of the controls a lot. It's fun.
Aye, its a lot of fun seeing how difrent games tackle flight. I will say the imputs soon become second nature after a few flight and it gives you a lot of control in the air, something that it particually important when a good portion of combat can be airborn.
I'm able to take flight, but I like lightning speed through the air then face plant. Or I can't stay in the air. Do I have to hold certain buttons while flying?
If you find yourself stalling as you take off try holding down the spacebar a touch longer. As for in flight no button needs to be held though shift will be pressed most to maintain your momentum. The last couple of builds have had some issues with flight, but it is being worked on.
Once you get old enough for powered flight (about half way past Juvi) you won't need to hit F to take off, It can however be useful if you stall on take off.
I'll likely be making an updated video for flight with 1.0 since there will be a few new ways to fly with different dragons so I'll make sure to add that feature to the next one
@@Lusewing great will watch it and so will my mate as son as it is can be watched. also i found a perfect place to jump from and fly as a hatchling FS. ^_^
I can't really recommend anything technical, but if you look at what is recommended and what is recommended for playing Ark at its top settings you should be very set for games like these
Just the A and D keys to bank left and right. Make sure you are keeping momentem. If you are still haveing problems you can go into your settings and click 'restore defult'. If you are still having issues after that, and you had the Alpha of the game installed at one point, you might need to delete a particular file: - Insure your game in not running first a) Go to Windows Start Menu and click Run b) Type in %LOCALAPPDATA% and click OK c) Navigate to the Dragons folder and inside delete the "Saved" folder. d) Restart your game
Yes, if you look in your control settings, at the top you will see a toggle to invert flight controls. Hit that and W will pull up and S will turn you down.
Well that's a pain. Make sure it's bound correctly in your key settings and if that's still not helping then I would head to the day of dragons Discord and seek help there. The Devs are very good at fixing problems and rooting out bugs, plus they then may be able to stop it happening to anyone else
Oh it certinaly needs more content but its still a lot of fun with the right people. They have a lot planned, including quests and boss monsters, but I would say check back in a year and see what you think.
It's made to be realistic. You might not be old enough to fly (about the third of the way through Juvi) and you might find you have a better time starting from a high point and/or switching your flight controls so W is up.
@@eddiesantana3009 I'm sorry, this is just how the game is designed. It's loads of fun and really responsive once you get the hang of it. It just doesn't take the shortcuts that other games do with flight. Think of it more like a flight simulator when it comes to flying. You have to manage your acceleration and your pitch. Small movements, light taps, dont just hold the keys down.

Very happy to show off the game and help people get prepared. The big 1.0 Update with 4 new dragons and new maps is dated for December 4th this year.
To take off, I just press shift and f while doing a sprinting jump, then hold shift and w (I have the controls inversed.) It seems a touch simpler than the default way I think.
I have never gotten along with the shift jump F, so I just put up the method I use.
That’s what I do ha

I'm so glad I could help with my videos ❤
I gave someone a mental breakdown when they tried teaching me to fly. This helped thanks
Sometimes having a visual learning tool make the world of diffrence
Thank you lol I had such a hard time with it, I will definitely change the w and s though
Very happy to be of help.
I think that is what i need to do as well because I was so mad and i've played for a while but i was like what am i doing wrong!!!! lol.

Draconia is so much better with flight controls but thank you for the help for this game
omfg agree, it's SOOOO much better flying in draconia, there's no comparisson
best flying i did feel is in gw2 (griffon), but draconia feels a lot smoother aswell yeah
I’ve tried everything I even followed this tutorial but I can't get in the air no matter what I wish the take off controls were simplifed

Thank you!

@ :52 you start the how to take off slowly, after you sprint and jump into the air. You need to hit the "F" button in order to fly.
F is another way to do it yes
😎

I wish I had seen this video before crashing into trees, the ground, and lakes way too many times.
Its a right of passage lol. Hopefully this guide helps you
this has been a very helpfull video thank you so much
When I finally got in the air I didn’t wanna come down

@@Lusewing okay, thank you!
thank you i was being hunted y a clan but then i watched this vid so i could out run them using flying thx
Brilliant to hear!
I changed the controls for convenience, is it run + jump + flight and then I stay with flight + acceleration?
Run + Jump + tilt up. Shift is normally accelaration and Space is normally brake.
Thank you so much!
it works, but it’s very terrible and laggy. Accidental landing is a risk of death, i hope later this fix
The Devs are currently working on switching to the Unreal 5 engine which is much better for performance.
When taking off I have to hit F to actually get into flight, just me? it seemed like you just went straight into it
Once you get old enough for powered flight (about half way past Juvi) you won't need to hit F to take off, It can however be useful if you stall on take off.
i have my controls personized for my better use i will need info like run+jump and such rather than being told the buttons.

also i found a perfect place to jump from and fly as a hatchling FS. ^_^
Can you make a video on aerial fights? :)
I would love to but I think I will wait till the next two dragons are in first.
Sounds good!
I’m thinking of buying a pc with good graphics for these types of game like day or dragons, the isle and path of Titans any suggestions?
I can't really recommend anything technical, but if you look at what is recommended and what is recommended for playing Ark at its top settings you should be very set for games like these
How the heck do you move once your in the air ive tried and I won’t move once im in the air
Just the A and D keys to bank left and right. Make sure you are keeping momentem. If you are still haveing problems you can go into your settings and click 'restore defult'.
If you are still having issues after that, and you had the Alpha of the game installed at one point, you might need to delete a particular file:

b) Type in %LOCALAPPDATA% and click OK
c) Navigate to the Dragons folder and inside delete the "Saved" folder.
d) Restart your game
An amazing help
Mashing every button and still not working
Small taps, you can come into issues if you hold the buttons down, particularly for turning
Is there anyway where change the keys so their not inverted?
Yes, if you look in your control settings, at the top you will see a toggle to invert flight controls. Hit that and W will pull up and S will turn you down.
@@Lusewing is it the Invert Pitch up/down setting?
@@Noir6472 Yup
Normal: S is up, W is down
Inverted: W is up, S is down

thank god i can use controller for this instead
Controller flying apparently feels really good
@@Lusewing Can't wait to jump in and give it a try
were your control inverted?
These are the standard control setting, you can invert the controls in the settings if you prefer to have 'W' to pitch up and 'S' to pitch down
Ok thank you
But why do I keep losing flight speed???
Shift is your accelaration, space is your break. You will also slow down if you pitch up too quickly.
@@Lusewing Thanks, I got the hang of it!
Thx now I can fly
Happy to help
this doesnt work. you missed the step when taking off wheree you press F and THEN do S and shift
This works. Once you are able to power your own flight, almost halfway through Juvie, you no longer need to press F. I never press F
@@Lusewing ahhh ok ill try it with my adult
kept crashing had to invert the controls
Nothing wrong with inverting the controls, the option is there who whoever wants to use it and finds it useful.
How your game does not lag😩
I'm not sure, I've never had a problem with lag before. At least not on the UK servers
I bet when I reach a goal, I cannot even fly💀
It takes some practice but you will get there
Where can I get white skin?
The White skin was a Kickstarter exclusive skin, however if you hatch from a nest with one or two what parents you are able to inherit their skin.
controller support?
Yup, the flight is particularly wonderful with a controller
My ps5 controller wouldn’t work any tips?
@@atklips223 best bet would be to ask in the Discord as I don't use a controller myself
Needs more content to be fun.
Oh it certinaly needs more content but its still a lot of fun with the right people. They have a lot planned, including quests and boss monsters, but I would say check back in a year and see what you think.
how about nooooo... hope they change it in future.
Sorry, other then more types of flight such as hovering.
I still can’t fly after watching this … Why is the flying weird and difficult for beginners lol
It's made to be realistic. You might not be old enough to fly (about the third of the way through Juvi) and you might find you have a better time starting from a high point and/or switching your flight controls so W is up.
