It's always been like that, and is WAI.
I really should do something about this signature.
WAI... Except for not showing as a darkened inactive power.
Notes:
1. Khelds in forms can't activate it either...
2. You can however access an existing portal when both flying or in a kheld form as long as you are at the correct level to use it.

There are quite a few powers you can't use whilst flying (e.g. Jump Kick). None of them are greyed out, they just don't work, the same as if you try to utilise a targetable power without a valid target.

Always wondered the reasoning behind not being able to cast it if flying though as it needs to be placed you couldn't summon it in mid air so the cant be flying seems needlessly restrictive same go's for the shivian temp power you cant cast that while in the air either.
In game mechanics terms I think you're absolutely right. I seem to remember elsewhere in the forums that the reason Kheldian forms can't use it is to do with animations more than it is to do with game mechanics, so I imagine it's the same for flying.
Which... probably shouldn't be the case, but there it is.
Yeah, I guess it can't be used whilst flying (and the same is true for many summons) because there is no flying version of the animation.

The animation for the Orubos portal is the same that MM (Robot Anyway) use to summon pets and they can summon in mid air, they do need to target a ground spot IIRC.
there are afew powers that only work when you are on the ground, not to sure why tho. Vet pet is anothe 1 you have to be on the ground for.
You have to target the ground for the portal, just like Ice Storm but that can be done whilst in flight or hover. Being unable to summon the portal whilst in one of those modes is, as TheMESS puts it, needlessly restrictive. If you aren't in range of the ground, fine but being unable to summon it whilst 1 foot off the ground is stupid imo. If the animation can play whilst in flight or hover as is suggested above for MM then I can't see a reason why this restriction can't be lifted.
Since when has it been that you cannot open an Ouroboros portal if Hover or Fly is toggled?
Has it always been like this? Or is this a known bug?
I rarely use Fly as a travel power on my toons, so this is new to me.
