Let There Be Flight
cyberpunk-2077 — Mods & Enhancements
Let There Be Flight (LTBF) implements a full flight system for every vehicle in Cyberpunk 2077, transforming cars and motorcycles into hovercrafts with customizable thruster models (from retro rocket exhausts to sleek cybernetic jets), along with visual particle effects, engine sound changes, and a cockpit animation for first-person flying. It uses a physics engine that balances lift, thrust, and pitch control, letting you fly over the Badlands or weave between skyscrapers in the City Center. Players install this to bypass traffic, reach inaccessible rooftops for secrets, or just experience the game from an aerial perspective.

🎯 Tips & Tricks
After installation, open CET overlay ('~') and go to 'LTBF' -> 'Controls'. Bind 'Toggle Flight' to 'V' (or any key). In-game, while driving any vehicle, press 'V' to transform—your car will hover and you can control pitch with mouse Y-axis and throttle with W/S. To land, press 'V' again only when wheels touch ground, otherwise you'll crash.
Edit 'Cyberpunk 2077\bin\x64\plugins\cyber_engine_tweaks\mods\LTBF\sound_config.json'. For the 'Type-66 Cthulhu', set 'soundProfile' to 'afterburner' to get a deep roar; for the 'Mizutani Shion', use 'hover' for a quiet hum. Save and reload the game. This makes each vehicle feel distinct when flying.
Use LTBF to reach the rooftop of Arasaka Tower (coordinates 1840, -2100). Fly up to the helipad, then disable flight (press 'V') and park—there's a hidden stash with a legendary 'Overwatch' sniper rifle and a data shard about 'Alt Cunningham'. Requires a vehicle with high thrust, like the 'Caliburn'.
🔧 Troubleshooting
LTBF crashes when used with 'Cyber Vehicle Overhaul' (C.V.O) because both modify vehicle physics.
Load LTBF AFTER C.V.O in your mod order (in Vortex, set LTBF to 'Load After'). Then, in LTBF's config, set 'physicsOverride' to false—this lets C.V.O handle ground physics while LTBF only activates when flight is toggled. If crashes persist, download the 'LTBF + C.V.O Compatibility Patch' v1.4 from Nexus.
Flying with 'Vehicle Combat' mod causes the car's mounted gun to fire backwards.
This is a rotation bug—Vehicle Combat's turret system doesn't account for the new pitch axis. Open 'Vehicle Combat'\r6\scripts\vehicle_combat.reds, find the 'aimDirection' variable, and add 'if (LTBF.isFlying) then aimDirection = forwardVector;' to force the gun to point ahead. Recompile with redscript.
