Timing Climb and Dive Cycles with Amplitude Cues

Reading Flight Amplitude Indicators

Maintaining endless flight requires timing your transitions smoothly so you do not stall out during a climb or lose too much altitude during a dive. The mod includes dynamic amplitude cues that measure your current flight speed and height.

1. Begin your glide from an elevated position or by using a firework rocket.

2. Pitch down to the -40° marker to pick up velocity.

3. Observe the amplitude cues displayed near your crosshair. These markers adapt dynamically as your flight speed increases.

4. When the cues indicate peak momentum, pull up toward the +40° climb line.

Managing Ascent and Descent Transitions

Transitioning at the wrong time bleeds kinetic energy. Follow these steps during each cycle:

  • Climbing: Hold the crosshair on the +40° line. Watch the visual markers as your upward momentum slows down.
  • Executing the Release: When the motion glyph signals a climb release, pitch back down toward -40° to start the next dive cycle.
  • Staying Centered: If the guides vanish, adjust your pitch up or down; the HUD elements only render when your orientation is close to the active glide targets.
