You can change the fly pose?
ya but it's just emotes you perform while flying and and touch of keys and the pose goes away. Some of them look pretty neat I think.

yea, you gotta type /em flypose1 or /em flypose2 etc. I think there's 4 of them unless I'm mistaken. It helps if you put auto run on before you do it since you have to be actively flying at the time.
I rarely take fly but when I do use it I almost always change the flypose, as already said they're pretty cool and I like em all better than the default.
...or rebind the forward key to execute both a forward movement and a flying pose. (that's what I do for my flying toons) That way, when you are flying, it automatically puts you in that pose.
Although, I WOULD like it to just be something to pick, honestly.

to add to this, I've found it easier to rework the autorun key instead of the forward key.
/bind r "autorun 1$$em flypose#"
r being the default autorun key and # being the number for the flypose you want to use
I'd say it's a safe assumption that fly poses will be added to Fly in I6. Take Fly, choose the pose you want, off you go. Use binds to change to a different pose from the one you hose mid-flight.

I suggested it in the Suggestions forum too, but I think we could also use a couple more flyposes. I for one would love to be able to fly straight in the same position that's used when you hit the space bar to fly straight up. Maybe airplane style too, with arms out to the side? But yes, to be able to set the default flypose would be fantastic. It isn't a huge deal to have to hit that one key every time, but it would be nice to bypass it.

I agree. I've been wanting the pose for flying straight up to be my forward flight pose for a while. Glad to find someone who agrees.
Airplane pose would be hilarious. Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrreeeeeeeeeeee!!! Coming in for landing. Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrroooooooooooo!!
I got too lazy to use /flypose. I hated how you had to be moving instead of writing a bit of code to set that to be your default flight pose, or something. Guess I could've bound a key to do it, but...meh.

Good point. Guess I never got into the habit of autorunning in flight due to mid-air ambushes. Dag burn old 5th Column.

Haha, I agree, and to be honest I was just fishing for another pose that could be added in addition to the other one.
Something else that I think they should add is a surfing style, so you can fly on a board or (for the love of all things superhero) an ice slide. It would still be flight, but your "flypose" would be the same position used for the Prestige Power Slide. This would also provide a good venue for expanding travel power costume pieces. People could get "Flight Disk," "Tech Board," or "Elemental Boards" as recipe drops. (Surfing could also work with Super Speed come to think of it, but this topic is based on fly).

Ok I'm not gonna lie to you...I freaking love this idea. I could just see a craftable back costume piece that's something like a disc and when you hit fly your guy quickly reaches around and grabs it, throws it on the ground and flys away.
Course that might be too much. I'd also go for boots that expand into something of a board after fly is activated.
I still want the Powdered Toast Man flypose.. >.> <.<
skip to 3 minutes
Since I16 will include new animations for Super strength and Martial Arts anyone else think that one of the things "to be announced" is being able to choose a different flypose to always be used in place of the default one?
I beleive that I remember when they first introduced the fly poses that they said they wanted to eventually make you able to just choose a new default. Plus as it is I think there are a lotta people playing out there that have no idea you can change the flypose.
I know I personally don't know even half the emotes I feel.
