Fly Poses

I'm having trouble getting fly poses to work. While flying or hovering, I'll type /e flypose2 or whatever, but nothing happens. Am I misunderstanding how that's supposed to work?

w+forward is the default. The second is for choosing 1 particular pose, and the third toggles through all four.

-FLY POSES-

/bind w "+forward"

/bind w "+forward$$em flypose1"  (1 to 4)

/bind w "+forward$$em flypose1$$e flypose2$$e flypose3$$e flypose4"

flypose1 - Superman style. Arms Forward

flypose2 - Alternate Superman style. Right arm forward. Left Arm curled back. . Right leg bent.

flypose3 - back straight. Arms angle forward and slightly up.

flypose4 - Bach arched up. Arms curled to the side.)

Awesome, thanks!

Always my pleasure to help! (Or at least TRY to help :))

Good bindset. I use NUMPAD0 for my preferred pose and 1-3 for the others, since the numpad doesn't have much use otherwise for my flying alts.

The combined commands don't work together too smoothly, so I use:

/bind Y "powexecname Fly" - general fly/fall toggle.

/bind W "+forward$$emote flypose1" - pretty reliable about toggling on the pose, and is just null for running.

/bind R "++autorun$$emote flypose1" - pretty reliable about the pose for long flights.

What works better but takes a little retraining is:

/bind R "autorun 1$$emote flypose1" - tap twice if needed, no toggling.

/bind SPACE "+up$$autorun 0" - up key, cancel autorun

And for one-handed jump/fly-over:

/bind MOUSECHORD "+up" - both keys elevate the situation while you do something else with the other hand.

I'm having a problem with binding the "forward" key with the flight poses.

I mean, it works if I slowly double-tap the "forward" to get into the pose once I start flying. The problem is that when I let go of the button to stop moving, my character repeats the 'getting into pose' animation before stopping altogether.

That doesn't happen if I bind the pose to the autorun button, though.

I have only been able to get fly pose 1 and basic fly pose to work when they all used to work perfectly. I noticed this right after the last major patch.

I used to have a macro that I could click to cycle through the different fly poses, but after the update it would only do the first one.

I finally gave up and made a popmenu to do it..

With the introduction of Afterburner in the Flight-pool I've created this macro to activate flypose1 with Afterburner. I think it makes using Afterburner a little more attractive:

/macro_image "Flight_Afterburner" "Afterburner" "em flypose1$$powexec_name Afterburner"
