Flying Controls Update

  • Dinosaurs now gain experience points from eating.
  • You must accumulate X% of your previous growth stage's required growth points in order to gain experience points equal to one fifth of the cost of one stat increase.
  • You cannot gain experience points through eating as a hatchling.
  • This also works when you are full grown.
  • Now herbivores and scavengers (carnivores as well) have a way to advance their stats that doesn't involve killing.
  • Carnivores require 7.5% growth points.
  • Herbivores require 15% growth points.
  • As with gaining growth points for normal growth some sources give more growth points and this also affects how much you need to eat in order to gain experience points.

  • While flying, your dinosaur no longer automatically turns to face the direction the camera is facing. The dinosaur now only turns when a directional key is pressed on the keyboard (W, A, S, D).

  • While flying, pressing the forward directional key no longer makes your dinosaur dive.

  • While flying, pressing the 'S' key will no longer slow down your dinosaur.

  • While flying upwards, your dinosaur will slow down.

  • While flying downwards, your dinosaur will speed up.

  • While flying, pressing and holding the left control key will slow your dinosaur down until it is hovering. Continue holding down the left control key to hover.

  • While flying and hovering, the player can now attack, smell, call for help, join pack, and leave pack.

  • While flying and hovering you can use the movement keys for fine hovering precision.

  • While flying and hovering you can now flap your wings with the spacebar to gain altitude but not be propelled forward.

  • While flying you can now gain a quick burst of speed if you aren't at maximum speed by holding the 'Left Shift' key and pressing 'Spacebar'. Also works while hovering.
