Descend and Ascend

http://i.imgur.com/35N9zdr.jpg

Hi, can anyone tell me how I can achieve that without landing using only keyboard?

Thank you.

No idea as I'm on a controller and keyboard combo. What I'd really like is a way to vertically ascend and descend rather than angular. It can be very annoying in certain circumstances.

To just go up/down without moving? Hit Y/Jump, to descent hit LB+RB/draw weapon.

You can, triangle ascends vertically and x descends.

I usually fly using my mouse with Right Button down. But AFAIK there are key binds for "Ascend" and "Descend", default binding is nothing, so try to set those, it might work.

If you click on the mount icon effect to click it "off" while flying it sets you into a vertical descent to the ground, straight down that you can move to cancel out of. I'm not sure what the OP is asking because it just depends on JUST how close to the ground you are. And I use just Keyboard/Mouse combo with sometimes mouse governing all movement, sometimes on autorun and mouse just acting as direction.

Interesting - mine doesn't do that, although I'm using the XBox 360 controller on Windows so your setup may differ.

There's definitely no vertical ascent and descent options. Wonder if it's a bug.

Using dualshock 4 on pc with ds4tool to fake xinput and triangle (jump) is ascent and circle (cancel) is descent. Holding left bumper and then tapping right bumper (weapon draw) makes my mount drop straight down to the ground.

Using only keyboard...while I don't know how flying behaves with 'normal' camera controls, it's very easy to do when using legacy type controls. Tilt camera a little down while moving forward, you get angular descent. Tilt camera a little up while moving forward, you get angular ascent. Legacy controls can be turned on from character configuration.

That's what I get but can't get a "helicopter like" take off.

Just space bar / jump to go straight up...

I've tried that, after the initial take off all I get is a 'bump' effect like it's trying to jump in mid-air, or suffering from severe hiccups. xD

Bind a key to descend, I set it as X. By default Z takes you straight to ground.

You may have set it to double jump so you would need to space bar and spacebar again, then hold.

Hold spacebar.

And on PC, holding Z brings me back down.

Much like other games with flying. Spacebar = take off, straight ascent, wow and EQ2: X = sit, descend.

Ah, I'm on ps4 so it's like that by default. Maybe you need to manually assign them for pc plus controller.

Honestly, I just wish there was an option to set it so you don't auto land when you get close to the ground. I like to fly low at times, and get annoyed when I land and suddenly drop to less than half my speed and have to take off again. If there IS an option to change this, I've clearly missed it in the settings menu.....

Really? Noone said to hold control and spacebar to go down and hold space bar to go up?

Using ps4 controller on PC (like a legit, non emulated one complete with the PS buttons in game) and the setup is exactly as it is by default on PS3/PS4; Triangle/Jump - ascend, circle/X - descend, weapon draw - hold to control descend, press to go straight to ground.

That's what I've been doing wrong, I've not been holding, just pressing. My bad!

Thanks everyone. =3

I believe keyboard controls are fairly simple, Spacebar = Ascend, and I think it's Shift + Z for descending.

Or you can just look up or down and go in whatever direction you're facing.
