Summary

I have a fully working Skyriding (Advanced Flying) implementation for TrinityCore master (retail 12.0.1, Build 66337). This is related to PR #30199 by Traesh.

Repo with full patch + guide: https://github.com/Manuelisus/skyriding-trinitycore

The Key Finding

Active Skyriding abilities (Surge Forward, Skyward Ascent, Whirling Surge) show "Not yet learned" even when the player has the spells. The root cause:

DB2 SpellAuraRestrictions requires CasterAuraSpell = 372773 (Vigor / Dragonrider Energy) for these spells. The WoW client checks this locally and blocks the cast before any packet reaches the server.

Fix: Cast spell 372773 on the player whenever Skyriding mode is active.

What's Included

• Unified git patch (9 modified files)
• New spell_advanced_flying.cpp with scripts for toggle, active abilities, and auto-learning
• SQL for spell_script_names registration
• Detailed technical guide with troubleshooting

What Works

• Skyriding (momentum-based flight) and Steady Flight
• In-game toggle between flight styles
• Active abilities: Skyward Ascent, Surge Forward, Whirling Surge
• Flying in all zones
• Auto-learning on login (Level 10+)

What's Not Included (Future Work)

• Vigor energy regeneration
• Vigor consumption on ability use
• KeyboundOverride integration
• Skyriding talent tree
• Momentum speed calculations
