flying mounts slower on ground ?

[Sader]

Yoshi never said that flying mounts would run slower on the ground than ground mounts, people just misinterpreted. It was meant to be taken as ground mounts go 0.9 in terms of game speed while flying mounts go 2.0

I can attest that on PC while holding right mouse button and then pressing default middle button for "always run" on, will often time result in slower fly speed or running on the ground. Its either intend to enjoy landscape while flying or its a bug. If its intended then auto camera realighnment makes it immpossible to enjoy. Griffin is so beautifull in flight that i oftet times want him to just randomly fly arround with cinematic camera movement. I guess Devs could implement panoramic fly rmode for mounts. where you could move camera a lot further away from mount, and add to griffin some nice fly acrobatics.

Camera direction controls flight direction. If you point your camera toward the horizon, you flight straight. Point it down to the ground, and you fly down. Makes for some really sweet landing dives.

I wish mount speeds were at least faster than sprinting

agreed the griffon mount looks so majestic flying around :3 love it <3...<3

Now we just need barrel roll.

pssht.

a griffon doesn't need a barrel roll to know it's a majestic bastard. it already knows it is one!

Only thing as far as speed goes is I strongly recall seeing at one point that flying would be slower than land mounts in term of speed but that doesn't seem to be right.

Is the question that flying mounts are slower on the gound than in the air or that flying mounts are slower on ground than normal ground mounts?
the first one is right, the second one is wrong.

Q: How fast are flying mounts?
A: Internally, the development team uses a special measurement for speed. Including all pre-existing mounts, movement when on the ground has a speed value of 0.9. When flying, mounts will have a speed value of 2.0, so it’s about twice as fast as on the ground. I still feel there is room to increase this value further, and I’m thinking about implementing something to possibly increase flight speed.

But they are?
