-In order to take off, a player must press the spacebar button.  If the player is taking off in a location surrounded by obstructions such as rocks or trees, it is highly likely they will crash into these objects and end up back on the ground again.

Takeoff has no stamina cost on land, but takes 35 [[Stamina|stamina]] for the Tropeognathus if taking off from water.
-The Pteranodon's flight was inspired greatly by the Primal Carnage Pteranodon due to its control and capability in a combat scenario.
+== Flight ==
-As a player maneuvers and takes turns, the sharpness of these turns will increase to the point where they can twirl, or nearly hover in place.  This mechanic was greatly inspired by the PC Pteranodon's capabilities to do just this.  It allows a player to hover, or wait for the opportune strike moment.
+In flight, the player can make sharp maneuvers and turns in all directions. The sharpness of these turns are very tight, and the player can constantly spin in mid-air to theoretically hover in place - a great maneuver for waiting for the opportune strike moment.
-As a player continues to dive, they will accumulate what is referred to as dive boost.  Dive boost is a speed boost that becomes progressively greater the longer the player has been diving.  This allows flyers to build up to significant speeds if they wish.

-Flying creatures are often fragile.  They take injury damage when hit by any source of damage, regardless of whether or not it hits the wing, head, legs, or torso.  Hitting obstructions such as walls, cliffs, trees, and rocks while airborne will result in a crash, in which the player loses complete control of their flyer as it falls out of the sky.  A crash will result in significant [[Injury|injury damage]].  The faster the player was going upon impact, the more severe the injury and [[Damage|damage]] accrued during the impact.  The player will regain control of their flyer once it hits the ground and comes to rest.  It is very easy to die by sufficiently hard impacts.

−	In order to land safely, the player ~~has two options~~. The ~~first method of~~ landing is ~~simple and intuitive. A player must simply come into contact with a suitable surface. If the speed in which they are flying is slow enough, they will~~ land ~~safely~~. If they are going to fast or if the place in which they are trying to land is unsuitable for a landing, they will crash instead, taking injury damage or potentially dying.

−	The second way to land a flyer is to get close to the ground or to any suitable surface and hold the [[Use\|use]] keybind. This will cause the flyer to force-land itself any time it detects a suitable surface. If it cannot find a suitable surface, the player will not land, but they also will not crash. This allows players to attempt to land on particularly precarious surfaces such as the tops of rocks, pinnacles, or trees, without suffering flyer crashes due to the game being finicky on landing in these difficult areas.
