Is it possible to fly dragons in Skyrim?

It was dragons that were the most advertised in the days before the release of The Elder Scrolls 5. And indeed, these creatures are not common in the TES series of role-playing computer games. However, despite the doubts of some players (who were not justified), the dragons in Skyrim took their place, and very harmoniously and almost naturally. This can be attributed to the talent of the developers, but it's not about that. It is known that dragons fly, and our Dovakin is also directly related to these winged creatures, and this relationship is blood. Will we have the opportunity to fly on dragons, or maybe the hero himself will go to conquer the air element.

Alas, but you can't fly dragons. Formally, our hero will fly a dragon during the passage of the main Skyrim quest. After capturing the dragon Odahviing in the quest Fallen, the passage of which is also on the site, we will be able to ride it to the lair of Alduin himself. But you should not count not only on the possibility of a controlled flight, but also on the opportunity to see it with your own eyes. The game will simply put us in front of the fact that the flight has been successfully completed, and you can leave the aircraft along the ladder, more precisely along the wing of the ancient dragon. To be honest, I expected to at least see part of the Skyrim landscape from the height of a dragon's flight, but only the view from the high mountains is available to us.

It’s not even worth talking about the ability to fly on your own, it’s not in Skyrim, no levitation spell. After all, it was this magical ability that allowed the heroes in rpg Morrowind to fly, sometimes even rapidly, because the speed parameter was taken into account. So that in Skyrim, our hero is securely chained to the ground, and only gliding from a high cliff on horseback can give a feeling of free fall, albeit at the expense of the life of an unfortunate animal. How to implement this yourself, please read the website in the article "In Skyrim from a cliff on a horse". But even this cannot be called flight, especially on a dragon.

The dragons themselves hover in large numbers, fly, dive in Skyrim, they can beautifully and successfully attack a mammoth, land on the roof of the nearest house. In general, they have no problems with loitering and performing simple aerobatics. Our hero adopted only the ability to emit dragon cries, he did not learn to fly. The brave dragon fighter has not succeeded in training these creatures, no one shows a desire to ride the character or become his faithful air flier. There is little hope that a full-fledged dragon flight mode will be implemented in one of the full-fledged add-ons for Skyrim. Skyrim fan plugins can also help, although in this case there is a danger of a not too smooth implementation, and enthusiasts can completely delay the deadlines.

"Back-S" key - switches the dragon to hover or fly freely
"Forward-W" key - switch from hovering or hovering mode - press and hold the key quickly, the dragon will fly forward, but will sometimes circle, you must always keep the "Forward" key pressed and do not release to set the correct flight path

Love flying dragons but reluctant to catch them all the time? There is an exit! This plugin adds 50 dragons to keep at your fingertips, including creatures from the original game, official Dawnguard and Dragonborn expansions, and Bellyaches New Dragon Species (both original and retextured).

These fearsome ancient creatures can also be used as normal summons. Summoning spells can be bought in Jormunheim, which can only be reached through the Ironbarrow. Then you can get to this place with the help of fast travel. Spell tomes are quite expensive - more than 12,000 septims apiece. All dragons are available in two versions - fiery and frosty. Hjorunn sells fiery ones, Yolf sells frosty ones. All creatures have the same characteristics, in which they correspond to the legendary dragon from Dawnguard. In order to decide which one you need, visit the showroom, which displays all the dragons available for sale with names.

Spells do not require a pumped "Witchcraft" skill, the spells of the "Beginner" level themselves are cast from one hand and consume 42 mana per second. The dragon is summoned for one minute, but if you ride it with a shout, it will not disappear for as long as you sit on it.

P.S. Plugin development started long before Dragonborn was released. I relied on the fact that the dragon could be controlled freely, like, for example, a horse. The way the flight control is implemented made me terribly upset, but I still decided to release this plugin in the hope that the modders would redo the control.

FAQ

AT) Why are spell tomes so expensive?
O) Otherwise, the player could acquire a dragon literally immediately after Helgen, which would introduce a serious imbalance into the game.

AT) Buying spell tomes is so boring! Now, if…
O) Initially, I planned to implement the creation of dragons, but due to unsolvable problems when creating a new crafting element, it was decided to limit myself to buying spell tomes.

AT) Why is the plugin packaged in 7-Zip? It was impossible to pack the plugin in RAR or ZIP?
O) It was possible, but then the archive would weigh at least twice as much.

AT) Why is there no brimstone dragon?
O) Expanding the color range of dragons would lead to a serious increase in the weight of the plugin.

AT) Why is there no quest?
O) I don't know how to do quests and dialogues, that's why they don't exist.

AT) Will more dragons be added in the future?
O) Only dragons from official DLC will be added.

AT) I click on the dragon's nameplate in the exhibition hall, but nothing happens.
O) Nothing should happen. The tablet is only needed to determine what appearance a dragon with a given name has.

AT) Why are there no dragons from "plugin name"?
O) I felt that the dragons from Bellyaches New Dragon Species are the most well-made. In addition, adding dragons from other mods would result in a serious increase in the weight of the plugin.

AT) Can I put a dragon from another mod into this one?
O) Of course. You can learn the structure of the mod using the Skyrim Creation Kit and, based on your experience, add your own dragon to this mod. You can also replace the model of any dragon with your own - just rename your model to dragon(14 - 49) and copy it to the Data\Meshes\1ADF\Dragons folder with confirmation of the replacement. However, this does not change the dragon in the exhibition hall. A table of correspondence between models and dragon names is given at the end of the readme file.

AT) I can't summon a dragon indoors!
O) Summoning a dragon is not possible indoors or in cities.

AT) I can't summon a dragon in Skyrim!
O) There is such a problem - sometimes the dragon cannot be called if you aim at any model, for example, at a bridge, a rock or some kind of building. I don't know what it has to do with it, maybe the size of the dragons. In any case, other plugins that allow you to summon dragons also have a similar problem. If the cast fails, move the scope to another place, in general, try to aim at the places where the grass grows.

AT) After the summoned dragon disappears, I get its soul. Is it normal?
O) Yes, because technically, after the allotted time, the summoned creature dies. I don't know how to disable soul retrieval from summoned dragons.
