One of the floaty maps, Q3DM19 I believe. Its not a very good powerup, IMHO.

There's also one in our map "Swiss Cheese Trickster". It's hidden, however.

Useless my cloaca! I suppose I should expect such two-dimensional thinking from a bunch of ground pounders!
Check this out:

Just ask any of the regulars what happens when I get ahold of the flight powerup!

I've gotten some good kills with it in vQ3, the few times I played that map online. It gives you the perfect angle for rocket shots, plus you get the element of surpise as most people don't bother to look up.

Q3DM19 is Space Chamber. I've already checked the level and nothing. Could you tell me exactly where it is? PLEASE!??!!!

I play VQ3 regularly and the servers include Q3DM19. Whenever anyone grabs flight, they're, well, floating ducks. I just rail them out of the sky, preferrably when they're over the edge :]

That's because they don't use it correctly for Q3DM19. An open map like that it's foolish to fly around in open space because it makes you a target. Rather it is better to use the flight to better navigate to the upper platforms to reach areas that would normally take more time to get to, or would be more dangerous to travel to in the normal manner. It also affords an opportunity to take by surprise somewhat those who might be camping up top.

Oh they're TRYING to use it correctly. All I'm saying is.. well.. they can't :] It's a hell of a long way from the bottom of the map to the upper levels, if all 15 or 20 FFA players (all skilled to the point of being very annoying indeed) want you down the second you pick it up. It gets a player the attention quad would, but without most of the ability to fight off the hordes Flight would be so much more useful in maps like Q3DM11 or 12, where you can hover off to sneaky places ;] |

Yup, that's me

Here's an example of that rarest of things - flight actually serving a purpose in a map. Last Fortress by QFraggel http://www.planetquake.com/lvl/mapper.asp?...art=Q%2DFraggelIf you can find it, it's highly useful for getting to the Quad secret, unless you are one SERIOUS rocket-jumper. Though for the most part, flight is spectator mode with a gun and an increased ability to die at the hands of someone with any sort of ability to use a Railgun. The words "turkey" and "shoot" come to mind.  |

Hehe yeah, that's the way it ought to be used ;]
By the way, it's not really a 'Flight' powerup as it is, is it? Wouldn't it be much cooler if you could 'flap your wings' by pressing the jump button, and gaining speed so it would kind of feel like soaring like a bird? The powerup as it is, looks to me like a cheap quick hack by id.
