The Mod

This is the IF mod from ASE we all know and love. This mod makes the birds soar through the sky instead of float like a drone (it gives the birds inertia and a concept of conservation of energy, with the speed calculations to include things like gravity, angle, etc). It makes flying incredibly fun to the point where sometimes you just want to take your bird for a ride just for the fun of flying!

How to use this mod

Convert your flyer!

There is a new engram called "evolver" you can learn. Craft it, feed it to one of the supported birds and it will convert it!

Take off

Press jump to get your initial jump into the air

Gain speed

• hold sprint to flap and gain speed
• aim down to use gravity to gain speed

Slow down

• Look up and let gravity slow you down
• Use drag forces to slow you down
• hold sprint and jump to flap backward like a bird

land

once your speed is low enough just touch the ground

Supported Birds

• Argentavis
• Pelagornis
• Pteranodon
• Quetzal

The Story

---

I loved the original immersive flight mod so much from ASE that when the Immersive Flight Ascended mod came out and it was not fun and the author has not been very attentive with previous versions. So I went hunting for the code and found it was open source. This is that open source code imported into ASA.

It turned out to be an older version of Immersive flight but I cleaned it up to be the Immersive Flight we all know and love for ASE...but for ASA! Since the Ascended name of immersive flight has been claimed i chose to use "classic" to represent that classic immersive flight feeling from ASE.

The current state of this mod

---

It's the beginning of me jumping into this mod. The mod is now stable and absolutely enjoyable in multiplayer yay!

It has the following known issues

• altitude indicator not working correctly
• fixed - issues with bird icons not showing correctly
• fixed - Rotation issues
• fixed - flight not working for multiplayer
• fixed - The bird it converts to is a low poly bird
• The pelegornis dive animation lets his feet hank out in a non-aerodynamic way
• When doing a temporary dive under water with the pelegornis its animations under water dont look like a pelican does in real life...i'll look into this for immersion purposes hahaha
• In multiplayer, others can hear the "wooshing" of other birds in proximity as if its their own creature

however, the mod is FUN and i have not come across a game breaking/ fun ruining bug.

The future of this mod

---

If there is interest (and/or at least a donation enough for me to buy a starbucks coffee as a pat on the back hahaha) I am willing to:

• documentation (a wikki or something that documents settings etc..)
• keep it updated with the latest ASA releases
• expand this mod to support additional dinos (wyverns for example)
• fix bugs
• create a roadmap that outlines what and when things can be expected to be done
• support crossplay
• when the time comes bring IF into the next ARK.
• maybe add a "hover" mode

It means way more than you know

If you like me taking the initiative to do this buy me a motivational coffee or something and enjoy the mod!
