Flyng mount /following

[Toxis]

Gotta small problem when having my group following my main on the flying mount. When I press space to take flight the /follow is canceled so you gotta hit the /follow macro again and each time you use space to gain altitude. Disabling space on followers accounts leaves them on the ground. Am I missing something obvious?

jumping in water breaks follow too, I don't have any experience in boxing with flying mounts, but I'd imagine you need to press space until you're off the ground, then hit follow and fly away as you can then control altitude with mouselook.

either that or drag your followers off somewhere with a steep enough drop to pull them straight into the air.

correct me if i'm wrong :)

Just like swimming underwater, use your mouse to decide the direction the main goes (right click and move it around). If you dont like the view, left click and move it around.

I haven't tried this but it may work.If there is a command for jump you can try putting a modifier macro on it. Something like this.

(I know this isn't the command but it may work if you can find out what it is)

/jump [noflying]


unbind jump in your key bindings and set this macro to spacebar if it works. This should cause you to jump unless you are actualy off the ground. Otherwise just get usd to having a slow and crappy start when flying.

hxc has it right as far as I know. This is why I have my "move forward" key bound to "/follow focus" on my alts. PITA but that's how it is. :(

I use a G15 keyboard. Have 3 buttons all next to each other, left is mount, middle is jump, right is follow. So I hit the mount button, then the jump button so all toons become airborne, then hit the follow macro to get them all heading in the right direction.

A problem I have every so often when flying is the characters won't load on certain toons. This is especially bad when one of the alts can't see the main anymore, breaking /follow. This happens pretty consistently when flying, probably due to the fact that I'm moving around at close to 300% walking speed. Not sure if it's a network issue or what, but it's happened on all the different boxing setups I've used.
