I tried that as well. The highest I get by holding down the space bar on the second stroke is 9M then my character drops even while the space bar is being held down. I changed keys and held those down, same thing 9M and fall. I've never seen this happen to anyone else.
UPDATE: Ok I fixed it, thanks for those that tried to answer the problem. It was a weird glitch but I'll explain: When the game had it's big update I followed this guide:: (
http://dbocom.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22833)Since then the only way I ran DBO was through the DBO.exe as playing the game through the Launcher would kick me out after a couple of minutes of game play. After 2 days of not being able to fly I (1) ran the launcher. I was kicked out before I even logged on, so (2) I tried a second time - I was logged in. (3) I was then able to fly. (4) I logged out. (5) I ran DBO.exe again and I've been able to fly since. Hope that helps someone, somewhere, someday.
