📋 About This Mod
LowFlight lets you fly as low to the ground as you want and be able to look in any direction (normally, your ship cannot point downwards when near the ground). You can also fly underwater!
- v3. 1 adds optional increased speed/acceleration (2x or 4x)
- v3. 0 adds compatibility for the Foundation Update. Your ship also no longer takes damage from crashing into terrain (unfortunately that was not something I could add with this latest update).
- v2. 0 adds HOVERING! Hold 's' to hover midair. NOTE: If you hover too close to the ground and look down, your ship will take damage (bug). You can prevent this by continuing to hold 's' when looking around.
- v1. 1 adds the option to use with my other mod, QuickFlight (increased flight/acceleration speeds)
This mod modifies GCSPACESHIPGLOBALS. GLOBAL. MBIN so it is incompatible with any mods that do so as well.

LowFlight v3.1 removes the altitude restriction for starships in No Man's Sky, allowing you to fly close to the ground and look in any direction, even underwater. It adds optional speed boosts, hovering, and Foundation Update compatibility. This is a must-have for explorers who want to fly low and enjoy the scenery.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 3,407 endorsements and over 113k downloads.
- Removes a major flight limitation, making exploration and screenshots way more fun.
- Active development with multiple versions adding requested features like hovering and speed options.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016 — likely outdated for current game versions, so expect compatibility issues.
- Hovering too close to the ground can damage your ship (known bug).
- Incompatible with any mod that modifies GCSPACESHIPGLOBALS.GLOBAL.MBIN, so check your load order.
For No Man's Sky players who love low-altitude flying and want to explore planets from a different perspective. Perfect for screenshot hunters and explorers who want to fly through canyons or under water. Skip if you're on a newer game version or use other ship mods that touch the same file.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use other mods that edit GCSPACESHIPGLOBALS.GLOBAL.MBIN, this mod will conflict — use a mod manager to manage load order.
- When hovering, keep holding 's' to avoid taking damage from looking down too close to the ground.
- Pair with QuickFlight if you want even faster flight speeds, but make sure you install both correctly.
