Unable to fly Quetzals Recently

[🦊Λℚ𝓤ΛƑΛᗯҜᔕ🦊]

So I have a quetzal.. everyone has quetzals. I've tried putting a platform on it's back. Once I do that, everything's fine. Simple 4x4 wood platform. Everything's fine. Then I add -ONE- thing, a generator in the center. Suddenly my quetzal won't fly correctly anymore. It gets "Stuck" in the air, stops responding to directional input.. I see the head move left or right but it keeps flying straight ahead, and sometimes turns, when it wants to. Won't respond to altitude changes up or down either. It's almost impossible to fly like this. Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a fix? It's a private server, no mods. I'm considering disabling the movement enhancement thing in server settings.. but I can't until late tonight when no one's on.. really friggin' annoying.

Quetzals that have there head or wings blocked can not turn (part of the anti box quetzal code)

The generator is no where near the head or blocking the wings?

Nope, in the middle of it's back. And I've built quetzals this way many many many times in the past exactly like this and they always worked in the past. Something changed recently and changed how quetzals behave and I'm trying to figure out how to disable whatever it was and return quetzals to normal again.

Most likely the 'edits' they did to the anti box quetzal code in the last patch, sounds like its buggy now

This quetzal design has worked for like over a year since quetzals were introduced. But now I can't fly it?

Again.. it works fine as long as I don't put a generator on it's back. If I remove the generator and leave the platform as is, everything is hunky dory and 100% normal. Even if I place generator back on it's tail end.

EDIT: Nope. Now my quetzal's freaking stuck in a cliff face and it won't turn around and I can't get it out and I can't land or it'll fall down and take fall damage and almost die. And now I'm stuck here and can not move the thing -at all- Even tearing off the platform pieces won't let it move.. what the hell is wrong here? Surely I'm not the only one seeing this.

By the looks of the picture the ramps could be at fault.

Shouldn't be though. This design -USED TO WORK FINE- for long long time. We've never had this issue before. It's only with some recent patch. Besides ramps are necessary to get down near the platform to fly it without falling off. Can't really fly it without em. If they're blocking quetzal flight inputs then we can't fly quetzals anymore.

Used to work, but Yeh, that's the anti bullet proof code that's done it those ramps are too close to the head. Looking at the design I don't see any purpose for the ramps. To mount the quetzal just rude via the platform and where that isn't possible, drop onto its neck, if you look down you can mount from there no problem. Adapt :D

Actually no we're not "adapting" to anything. This is bugged, broken and shouldn't be this way. I've already filed a bug report with the other forums. This needs to be fixed back the way it was.

The reason for the ramps there is to give a way to walk down there without a risk of falling off. I'm sorry but when I'm 800 meters above the ground, I'm not going to just fall onto the neck and pray I make it and don't slide off. That's just total BS.

[Hariwin]

Try it, it's genuinely 0 risk. I'd say you're more likely to fall off with the ramp thing.

It's annoying not being able to do what you want but I prefer adapting a little over having an indestructible quetzal draining my turrets and being virtually impossible to kill.

Except of course we're on PVE-Only servers with my private servers. It's really getting old how they're making sweeping changes to core dino functions just to suit PVP players that may not have any effect on PVE players.. or what if we don't care and -want- to build bulletproof quetzals? We're on PVE, we should be allowed to if we want to. I'll have to pray to the gods they add a toggle for this.
