Flight protections
FlightAssistant provides a suite of flight protections designed to prevent serious damage while preserving high maneuverability.
As with all other features, protections are fully configurable. Any protection can be disabled if it feels intrusive.
Protections are automatically disabled when the player is invulnerable (e.g., Creative Mode).
All protections can be temporarily overridden using a keybind
(default: Left Alt).
Config screen option name: Automatically open Elytra
If the player is not in Creative Mode, is wearing an Elytra, and is sufficiently above the ground, the Elytra will open automatically.
Config screen option name: Limit pitch to prevent stalls
Pitch is automatically limited based on the player’s airspeed and angle of attack to prevent stalls.
The limit is displayed using downward-facing colored arrows.
Config screen option name: Automatically increase thrust to recover from stalls
When the player enters a deep stall, maximum thrust is automatically applied and locked.
Config screen option name: Limit pitch above the void
Pitch is automatically limited based on vertical speed and distance from the void damage altitude.
The limit is displayed using upward-facing colored arrows.
Config screen option name: Automatically increase thrust to escape the void
When the player is at or below the void damage altitude, maximum thrust is automatically applied and locked.
Config screen option name: Automatically raise pitch to escape the void
Depends on: Automatically increase thrust to escape the void
If the player is at or below void damage altitude and maximum thrust is available, pitch is automatically raised to begin recovery.
Config screen option name: Limit pitch when sink rate is excessive
When excessive sink rate is detected (alert: SINK RATE), pitch is limited at the current position.
Config screen option name: Automatically reduce thrust when sink rate is excessive
When excessive sink rate is detected and the player is within 3 seconds before collision (alert: PULL UP), idle thrust is automatically set and locked.
Config screen option name: Automatically raise pitch to recover from excessive sink rate
When excessive sink rate is detected and the player is within less than a second before collision, pitch is raised rapidly to begin recovery.
Config screen option name: Limit pitch when terrain is detected
When nearby terrain is detected (alert: TERRAIN AHEAD), pitch is limited at the current position.
Config screen option name: Automatically reduce thrust when terrain is detected
When the player begins approaching terrain (alert: PULL UP), idle thrust is automatically set and locked.
Config screen option name: Automatically raise pitch to recover to escape from terrain
When the player is dangerously close to terrain, pitch is raised rapidly to begin recovery.
Config screen option name: Lock explosive fireworks
If the player is holding explosive fireworks, firework activation is blocked for the hand holding them.
Config screen option name: Lock explosive fireworks
If the player is close enough to terrain that a collision would occur within 3 seconds of flight, firework activation is automatically blocked.
