Giving a new meaning to the phrase “high as a kite,” Schedule 1 has a rather amusing bug that allows players to fly! However, it’s not something you can simply unlock (and control) with an effect from one of your latest drug-cooking masterpieces. Given this thought, learning how to fly in Schedule 1 can definitely add a fun twist to the game - and today, we’re looking at everything you need to know to make the most of the flying ability in Schedule 1.

What is the Flying Glitch in Schedule 1?

Before we go any further and explore how to fly in Schedule 1, we should start by considering what the flying glitch actually is - because, as the name would suggest, it’s not the sort of thing you’re technically supposed to be able to do.

The good news, though, is that it’s not a cheat or a mod—just a harmless physics glitch. So, you can give it a go without guilt! However, there are other vulnerabilities that could potentially put your game of Schedule 1 at risk; for example, DDoS attacks are potentially concerning. Fortunately, starting with a private server offers the ideal solution to this challenge.

How to Fly in Schedule 1

If the feeling of being weightless from your favorite strains in Schedule 1 isn’t quite enough to make you feel like you’re flying, there are several great glitches that can really put you up in the air.

Method 1: The Bus Stop Launch

The most consistent and well-known way to fly in Schedule 1 is to use the classic bus stop trick. It’s not the only way, but it’s definitely one of the easier techniques to pull off to get yourself airborne. However, you’ll need to find a bus stop with a short roof or overhang for it to work. These are luckily pretty common across Hyland Point.

Once you’ve located a suitable bus stop, start by standing on top of the bench beneath the roof. Then, start spamming the jump key (usually spacebar); think of this as “winding up” or “charging” your jump. Indeed, once you then leave the bus stop, you’ll suddenly be flung high up into the air. And, the longer you jump to begin with, the higher you’ll go.

This glitch works because Schedule 1’s game engine stores “unused” vertical momentum when your jumps are blocked. This stored energy is then released in one big, glorious leap once you leave the covered area, hence causing the flying effect.

Method 2: The Trash Can or Basketball Trick

If you’re nowhere near a bus stop or doorway but fancy a quick aerial jaunt, don’t worry—there’s another option! Indeed, it might seem nonsensical, but there are several ways that you can use rather innocuous and random items found throughout the world, like trash cans or basketballs, to rocket-launch your character up into the sky.

To do this, find an object you can interact with, such as a trash bin or a basketball; then, walk up to it and press E to grab it. As you do so, jump up onto the object and hold the S key (backwards). At the same time, look down and hold jump at the same time.

This might seem like a rather tricky combination of moves, but if you can pull it off, it’ll cause you to slowly start rising into the sky! However, this method is much slower and more serene than the bus stop method, but it still gets the job done. Plus, it has the benefit of working almost anywhere, whereas the bus stop method is naturally limited by geography.

Harnessing Your Flight

Thus far, we’ve looked at how to get airborne - however, if you really want to take your aerial antics to the next level, you’ll need your skateboard to hand. Don’t worry what type of skateboard you’ve got; they’re all the same in the air!

Once you’re airborne, rather than just falling to the ground, equip the skateboard once you reach max altitude. This allows you to glide farther, turning a vertical launch into an incredibly speedy trip across the map.

FAQs

Q1. Does Flying in Schedule 1 Give You an Advantage? Unfortunately, flying in Schedule 1 is mainly just for fun, as you’re not likely to complete missions faster or grow your business more efficiently by flying. That said, it does allow for quicker travel across the town. Q2. Will the Flying Glitch in Schedule 1 Be Patched? While it’s not guaranteed, it is highly likely that the flight bug might be patched at some point, since Schedule 1 is still in early access. However, it is also possible that they could keep it as a fun memento to the Early Access mode.

Final Thoughts

Flying in Schedule 1 is definitely a fun way to traverse the map - and it may have a few very minor applications, such as crossing the map more quickly or dodging the police. Still, while it won’t significantly help your drug empire grow, it’s still a fun and harmless way to have a laugh during your next playthrough.
