ATTENTION: This is a NEW VIDEO that shows the new 2.0 Version.


UPDATE May 4, 2012
LOOK FOR VERSION 2.0 RELEASE HOPEFULLY TODAY*** (Sorry, still waiting on total permission, though I may go ahead and release it anyways since I think he wouldnt mind seeing as he let me look at the code in the first place. Of course if he had any issues with that I would remove it right away).

Woohoo! A certain modder has given me a flying script to use that works for humans, and I have tested it and it works successfully with dragons. Only problem is, the dragon is currently "flying" but it is walking as it flies. Now what I have to do is adjust the script to play the flight animation while flying and it should be as good as ready for a Beta release (with permission from the modder, seeing as the beginnings of the mod will essentially be a barely adjust version of his mod.) Nonetheless, this is great news and a step forward for dragon flight capabilities!

***************************************************************************************************************************************
Description:
Turn into a dragon and fly around. Go up, down, left, or right with the help of the authotkey!

This mod is developing quickly, having gone from barely getting off the ground to almost total in-flight controls in a mere 2 days! I will keep the updates coming!

Install:

merge the data folder from this mod with your skyrim data folder

install autohotkey

double click on all the green autohotkey apps in your skyrim data folder to run them (nothing will appear, they run in the background)

check the .esp file before starting game
**************************************************************************************************************************************
AUTOHOTKEY/BAT FLIGHT CONTROLS ( for first time users you MUST complete the "How it works" process below before running these commands)
Note* If the hotkeys arent writing out the whole "bat x" command in the console, try firmly pressing the keys for a tiny bit longer until it writes the whole command.

Start flying = control up arrow
Fly Higher = shift down arrow*Note (with elevation commands, do not enter them too fast or your animation will freeze, let them play out before going higher or lower)
Fly Lower = shift up arrow
Intiate Right Turn = alt right arrow*Note ( the command turns you at set amount, if you want to turn faster or slower you can adjust the speed with the mouse looking up or down)
Initiate Left Turn = alt left arrow
Fly Straight Again = alt up arrow
Hover (stop moving) = alt down arrow
Start Moving = shift p
Land = control down arrow(keep trying until the game finds and acceptable spot to land e.g. towns, open fields, towers)



How it works:

press "`" ("~") key to enter the console


NOTE: YOU MAY BE REQUIRED TO HAVE JACKALHEAD"S MASTER SHAPESHIFTER MOD INSTALLED IN ORDER FOR THIS TO WORK. ALL THE TESTING WAS DONE WITH THIS MOD ACTIVE. ALSO, THIS MOD SHOULD WORK FOR ANY OF
DRAGON TYPES FROM HIS MOD.


BACKUP YOUR SAVES BEFORE RUNNING. NEVER SAVE WHILE FLYING. If game goes to a "loading screen" after a command is intiated, load your last save because the game might be glitched.

Follow these instructions step by step and it should work for you.
1. Install (recommended) MSS http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=11601

2. start skyrim and load a clean save

3. Type in the console
player.setrace dragon

4. go to 3rd person view (as a dragon now) and open up the console and type:
player.setallowflying 1
player.setplayeraidriven 1

5. close the console, (still in 3rd person) and save your game

6. next load this game that you just saved

7. if you have it and if you want, use the shapeshifter mod to turn into a different type of dragon, save. then load this file again

8. go back to console and type this:
player.setallowflying 1
player.setplayeraidriven 1
bat f

9. close the console and you will take off

NOTE: Do not save your game while flying.




Let me know if this works for you (in the comments section). Enjoy

Endorsements are good encouragement for me. Thanks everyone.

I take full credit for figuring out how to control turning and elevation :)


Post suggestions, feedback, etc. in comments please. Please do not take credit for my breakthroughs, I would be happy to allow people to implement my mod into theirs so long as they ask me first and give me credit :)
Thanks
Credit to Jackalhead and many other (soon to be credited) for all their help!
