On The Ground

The ground mode controls are very similar to your usual dragon controls:

• Left Cursor Key: Turn Dragon anti-clockwise
• Right Cursor Key: Turn Dragon clockwise
• Shift + Left Cursor: Shuffle Dragon Left (crab left)
• Shift + Right Cursor: Shuffle Dragon Right (crab right)
• Up Cursor Key: Walk forward
• Down Cursor Key: Walk backward
• Page Up Key: (short) Jump (long) Fly

The Ctrl+R (Always Run) command switches the saddle between run and walk modes on the ground.

To change to Air mode you should hold the Page Up button for at least 1 seconds or press the "Fly" button on the HUD. The Fly button on the Client screen will not do anything.

In the Air

The air mode controls are very similar:

• Left Cursor Key: Turn Dragon anti-clockwise
• Right Cursor Key: Turn Dragon clockwise
• Shift + Left Cursor: Float Dragon Left
• Shift + Right Cursor: Float Dragon Right
• Up Cursor Key: Fly Forwards
• Down Cursor Key: Fly Backwards
• Page Up Key: Gain Altitude
• Page Down Key: Decrease Altitude (walk if held whilst on surface)

The Ctrl+R (Always Run) command switches the saddle between normal and aerobatic flight modes. See the section below for aerobatics mode details.

To change to Ground mode and Land you should hold the Page Down button for at least 1 second whilst stopped on the ground or use the HUD "Walk" button. The Fly/Stop Flying button on the Client screen will not do anything.

Aerobatics Mode

Aerobatics mode is an advanced flying option which allows for spectacular dragon manoeuvres, including loop the loop and flying upside down. The main difference is that the saddle Pitch and Roll are constrained in Normal mode, but are essentially not constrained in Aerobatics mode.

The saddle controls are slightly modified in Aerobatics mode:

• Left Cursor Key: Roll Left
• Right Cursor Key: Roll Right
• Up Cursor Key: Momentum Forwards
• Down Cursor Key: Momentum Backwards
• Page Up Key: Pitch Up
• Page Down Key: Pitch Down

Additional HUD Commands

There are a number of additional HUD commands available to the user:

1. Rider options - This brings up a dialog for configuring the saddle between 1 and 2 seats (not available for wyrmlings), and to unsit unwanted riders, send a copy of the HUD to the rider and to select a optimized position for your breed of dragon
   (Do not sit on the saddle until Breed has been selected to ensure sit position is fully adjusted).
   
2. Controller - Switches the saddle between dragon controlled and rider controlled
