I <3 the wings of this mod and I appreciate your hardcore spirit, but could you maybe make a version of this mod where there are creative flight wings? Because going down from a long height with glider on is just slow and annoying, but obviously you don't want to take off the wings or you die... Also because I'm lazy. xD It's all up to you though. Thanks.
So.. whats the point of making Iron wings if you can make a jetpack?

Stop treating mod devs poorly. These people mod as a hobby or as a service to the community, they don't have to take your suggestion and you are not entitled to anything from them.
Just wanted to let you know that for some reason version 0.8 on 1.7.10 will not respect the enchantment ID's set in the config. It was conflicting with an already set ID for Thaumic Exploration. Since this was the first build of my pack I was able to just change the ID of Thaumic Explorer's enchants. Seems that MoreFlaps enchant is hard-coded to ID 78....tried to change it to 85 but I still crashed with a duplicate enchant ID at ID 78 between this mod and Thaumic Explorer. Looked for your issue tracker to put this information there, but it appears you don't have one? O.o
At the moment, this thread is my bug tracker... ^-^; It shouldn't be doing that (...said every programmer ever)... I'll make sure that's fixed in the next update!
Hi _Antihero_
I am French and I love your mod! Nobody has to think before you to include in a wing mod the durability and as wing flapping, which allows the ability to fly not to cheat too!
But there is a problem ... on a server, this capacity is reduced or non-existent, while in solo part, it works great! Think you can make the mod works as solo? The mod would take in importance thanks to that!
But I just think ... he works already on the server? because it is possible that my mod-pack prevented this mod run correctly.
Anyway, I hope you will succeed in both the mods run correctly on both server and to ensure that the animation is visible to other players! The community of my server and myself look forward to the update of this mod! (I hope, still in 1.7.2 :p)
(sorry for my bad english...)
Depending on the server lag, wing use can get pretty bad. Oops. I've modified the system now and it seems to be working well. It should be fixed in the next update! ^-^

Simple Flight 0.9 will allow you to press the sneak button in order to negate gliding (just not with the actual non-wing Gliders, because they're unwieldy by nature). Releasing the sneak key makes you glide again. That's probably as close as I'm going to get to Creative flight in this mod
Hi _Antihero_ ! just to give some feedback about your mod :
I like it =D
I'm building a ~mediaval modpack and would love a config to remove the jetpacks.
Because the fly without glide mod currently deals damage on landing, an option to remove the non gliding wings as well.
So far this mod gives a simple yet non free neither overpowered flight capability (except jetpack :p), and it's what I like in this mod. Thanks for it =)
Thanks for the suggestion! I've decided to add an option in Simple Flight 0.9 that allows wings to be added/removed based on it's category (Gliders, Wings, Jetpacks). The new update also fixes the bug where flapping before hitting the ground only makes the fall damage you more - so hopefully that's not going to be a problem anymore!
This mod is incompatible with smart moving. The armor does not turn when the player does and you can't flap. please change this.

I am very interested in this mod and would love to use it on my server as I have looked into a couple of different wings/flying mods and this one I feel is perfect as its not unlimited creative mode flight. I find the upgrading/crafting/enchanting of the flight items to be a much better strategy than to have it just be a few options like the survival wings mod and the limited flight mechanic using flaps would make it very balanced for a RP/PVP based server.
There is one tiny problem however. My server is for 1.6.4 and is incapable of upgrading. If i could kindly ask, could you make a port for 1.6.4? or if it would be ok, can i make a 1.6.4 port myself?
Also for a recommended feature, could there be an option for the wings to not have them take up the chest slot (like an extra accessory like in mods like galacticraft and the Aether Mod?) that would be awesome. I really do want this mod on my server as one of the races was originally designed to have the option to have wings. Come check us out at www.rnianations.com and make a post or you can contact me directly on skype UN: TheLordofNyrin
So, when I use feather wings, it logs however high I fall, even if I don't hit the ground from that height. For example, if i use diamond wings and fly really high, then drop down and flap once so I land with one block instead of 80, it still insta kills me with fall damage.
I also am having problems using Simple Flight and Smart Moving at the same time. The gliding works fine, but flapping makes the sound only, and otherwise does nothing at all. Also, the wings always face the same direction, even if the model turns around.
I specifically wanted this mod because it lets you work for your ability to glide and flight, in small steps, instead of just easily giving you full flight for no work at all.
Thanks for you work on this mod, and I really hope you can get this resolved, because this mod is an excellent way of approaching the idea of flight.

I LOVE this mod! Adding flight that the player has to craft/work for and isn't overpowered is wonderful. It definitely stands out from the other flight mods that simply give creative mode flight in survival.
However, I'm experience a problem. In your list of fixes, I saw that you had a bug that caused significant lag while wings were rendered. I'm not sure if anyone else has been experiencing this problem, but whenever I'm in F5 mode, or when another entity like a zombie is wearing it, that lag is happening again. It usually happens every 10-20 seconds, and lasts about 8 seconds. During the lag, my minecraft game freezes completely, then mobs move around very quickly as if I'm on a laggy multiplayer server. I could just stay in first-person view and it goes away, but what's the point of having these beautifully rendered wings without being able to see them? I've tried it both with and without other mods loaded with it , but it makes no difference. I'm using simple flight version 0.8 and the latest version of forge for 1.7.10. I'm on a 2-year old 15-inch macbook pro with retina display; it doesn't have framerate issues with anything else, so I'm pretty sure it's not my computer.
If that problem gets fixed, I would love to use this mod. Great concept, great job so far; keep it up!
A few weeks ago i asked if someone could make a port for 1.6.4 because that is the only version my server can use and I very much want to use this. I play with this mod on my 1.7.2 world and love it and with a server coming up soon and one of the races i originally planned for to be angels I still have yet to have a wings related mod. I can't upgrade my server with it being a Cauldron Forgebukkit server, they stopped making those for anything newer than 1.6.4. and the 1.7.2 builds of Cauldron are highly unstable as they did not stay around long. If someone can please make a downport for this or let me know if I can do the downport myself, I would really appreciate it.

I'm sorry for not responding to the thread in a while, but I've been working on the 0.9 release and taking a couple weeks off over the holdidays to spend time with my family (which, sadly, will end in a few days).
Anyways, short answer regarding me doing a 1.6.4 port? No.
Long answer would be... Not likely. I looked into the possibility early on but enough has changed between 1.7.x and 1.6.4 that I don't think I can really justify spending the time on a 1.6.4 port that will actually have to be coded pretty much from scratch, at least before Simple Flight gets a proper "release" version.
As for allowing others to make derivatives/ports of this mod for 1.6.4...? Maybe. Ask me again once 0.9 comes out.
hello i love this mod, is there a way to tweak the amount of flaps of every item through the config file or something? i want to reduce the amount of flaps and remove glide, i know it's supposed to be a flying mod but i want to make it more like alucard's double jump, except maybe 3-4 jumps instead so it's not that overpowered on my server, thanks and sorry for my bad english
For the jetpack you have an item that looks like fire, is it fire or is it something else? And how do I get that in survival? (Brand new minecraft player and mod user)
Love the mod btw the only complaint I have is the fall damage, I fell off a cliff and used your wings to help me land but still got killed and hurt by the fall damage as if I didn't softly land using the wings.
This is a great idea for balanced flight options. And of course, everyone wants wings on their back.
Is the protection effect of armor included in the wings+chestplate?
Do you plan to allow enchanted armor so that people can have the best of both worlds?
You say you are adding your own custom armor textures, but you might want to make a toggle in settings that makes the chestplate invisible or create a minimal style harness option. It would be great if it just used whatever the player's texturepack had for their armor.
I saw that you said you aren't interested in a creative-style flying option, but hear me out. It would be nice to have a recipe for self-flapping or hovering type of "wing" similar to how flight works in creative. (Toggle availability on/off in settings. Default set to off?) Perhaps it could be magic wings (that hover or flap using magic) - and they eat up your hunger bar when active. I often want flight to help with building projects where building dozens of convoluted, temporary staircases would be tedious. This means the manual-flapping and bouncing up and down would be terrible. However to keep it balanced, eating away at my hunger bar would be something that is fair and also easy to keep an eye on while I'm floating. This would be similar to...
how some of the pegasus flight mods work (in MLP mods) where flight is just like creative. Wings flap purely for aesthetic purposes whenever moving upward (and forward?). The person just activates or deactivates "flight" like in creative, and flying steadily eats away at your hunger bar.
Why do feathered wings not have the ability to glide? Feathers vs leather - one is not that much harder to get than the other. Maybe ingots added into the feather recipe could make gliding feather wings? Then both could glide and the person would choose based on visual preference or some other aspect. Based on videos I've seen, it seems that the wings really need more "lift" per flap and the falling needs to be much slower. So I think the gliding should really be turned on for all the wings. Flying seems so weak in the basic wings that I've seen in the videos, it seems like it's not worth it at all. So an upgrading the whole scale of wing abilities might be needed. I haven't tried the mod myself yet, so I could be wrong about worth. If you wanted to keep the crash danger, then you could still incorporate a damage-when-landing possible mode. You said you plan to make gliding toggle, so a person who was too impatient trying to get down might accidentally kill themselves, that seems fair. Or you could say that if you use up your last flap midair - maybe your wings won't have the strength left to glide you down safely. Whatever you might choose, I would still think the wings need more "airtime" added, whether as more vertical lift per flap or slower descent while gliding.
I'm looking forward to your update where you can disable certain items, like the jet items. I'm sure servers would agree that wings and jets are two very different styles and only one probably fits into a server theme at a time.
Thanks for making it though, I will try it out and look forward to 9.0!
Alright, once you release the 0.9 update i would not mind doing a 1.6.4 port with some of my friends. Its going to be difficult to have an angelic race without wings. =(

Iron wings protect you more, since Jetpacks are technically Chainmail, and you don't need to go to the nether in order to make them.
Maybe? I don't use Movement Plus, so I wouldn't know for sure, though...

So when I have gliding wings and I want to get to the ground safely,
I can simply fall and click (G) for example, to glide before hitting the ground.
