Why Won‘t My Deluxo Fly in GTA Online?

ByJames Dorn Last Update on

As a passionate gamer and content creator in the GTA community, I often see questions from players about why their Deluxo won‘t fly or hover in GTA Online. The Deluxo is one of the most unique and versatile vehicles in the game, with the ability to switch between driving on land and flying through the air. However, there are some common issues that can prevent your Deluxo from taking to the skies.

The Basics of Deluxo Flight

First, it‘s important to understand the basics of operating the Deluxo. To activate flight mode, you need to:

  1. Press and hold the handbrake button (X on PlayStation, A on Xbox) to initiate hover mode
  2. Tilt the left analog stick back to switch from hover mode to flight mode

If your Deluxo won‘t lift off the ground in the first place, make sure you are correctly performing these steps.

Common Causes of Deluxo Flight Issues

If you are pressing the right buttons but your Deluxo still refuses to fly, here are some of the most common culprits:

Damaged Wings

Just like a real aircraft, if the Deluxo‘s wings become too damaged from crashes or gunfire, it can affect flight performance or disable it altogether. Try repairing the car to restore functionality.

Environment Restrictions

The game does not allow the Deluxo to fly or hover everywhere. Inside tunnels, under bridges, or in tight spaces, you may get a warning that flight mode is unavailable. Move to an open area to take off.

Customization Conflicts

Certain mods at Los Santos Customs can glitch out the Deluxo‘s abilities. For example, the "low ride" modification is known to disable hover/flight mode in some cases. Remove problematic customizations.

World Physics Glitches

Like any complex open world game, GTA Online can sometimes glitch out with wonky physics. Usually, finding a new session or restarting the game should resolve any temporary world issues.

Bugged Game Installation

In rare cases, corrupted game files can cause all sorts of bizarre in-game issues. Try verifying the integrity of game files in your platform‘s dashboard to check for errors. Reinstall as a last resort.

So in summary – make sure you have space for liftoff, repair any wing damage, remove problematic mods, and troubleshoot technical issues. Let me know if you have any other questions! Happy flying in Los Santos!
