I have no means of toggling between Skyriding and Steady Flight. Like everyone else, all my flying mounts have defaulted to the Skyriding setting, but my Mount Menu does not have the cast button / icon to switch back to regular Steady Flying.
I have no addons enabled. I tried logging out and back in. I tried turning some features on it the game’s Edit Mode in case the icon was linked to something I had turned off. It’s nowhere to be found. Please respond so I can correct this issue.

If so, then check your Talents & Spellbook (N) tab. General > Skyriding > Switch Flight Style. You may also need to go to a Dragonflight zone so you can see your Skyriding talent tree and make sure it’s activated.
It should look like this - the winged circle icon. It is also in your spellbook and can be put on your action bar. You need to be level 20 to switch flight styles.
Wowhead has a good article about it here.
How to Swap Flight Styles
You can to swap between Skyriding and Steady Riding at any moment via the Switch Flight Style ability, accessible by default on your mount tab, starting at lv20. Switch Flight Style requires that you be on the ground, will unmount you if you are mounted, and has a 5 second cast.
When in Skyriding mode, mounts with a Skyriding label on the mount journal will be able to fly using Skyriding abilities. With very few exceptions, all flying mounts in World of Warcraft are able to Skyride. Mounts without a Skyriding label will behave as ground mounts while in Skyriding mode.
When in Steady mode, flying mounts, including the original Dragonriding mounts from Dragonflight, will use the original no-clip flying style.
You will be locked into Skyriding mode in Khaz Algar until completion of the achievement The War Within Pathfinder.
A Skyriding-enabled mount vs. one that cannot Skyride in the mount journal.
I am also having this issue, but none of my characters can fly at all, not even Steady flight. I also do not have this magical button in my mount journal.
Oh. I actually just fixed the issue by logging onto my level 70 (timerunner, idk if that matters) that has skyriding. It was there for that character. Once i logged back on to the one that didn’t, it was there. Hope this helps!
The obvious fix is to set standard flying as the default for people who don’t have the toggle. We’ll see how long this takes to fix. They could also make a toggle that has standard flying only. Not really a toggle, but a solution if they don’t want standard flying to be the default for anyone.
My account also does not have the toggle button, another account I own does though. According to Icy Veins you should get skyriding at 10 automatically without any work required.
For those missing the toggle and who don’t have flight. I fixed this by taking 1 toon to Dragon lands, then doing only the main quest chain until I got to the quest to teach Skyridding, maybe 6 quests if you ignore side quests. I didn’t have to do the tutorial quest and boom Skyridding and toggle unlocked. Hope this helps
Hey there Mirasol, so yeah, we know about the button and where it should be, the issue is that a bunch of us don’t have it.
And if the area is accessible now to those of who didn’t purchase DF, then great. I suppose it’s possible considering older content has been made available on new xpac releases thus far. If it’s not accessible though, sorta sucks to be default locked into a small flying handicap.
I’m having this issue as well. None of my characters can fly anymore. I was able to regain steady flight on a low level character by gaining a level on him, and I made a Pandaria Remix character to test things out, and he’s able to use dynamic flight now - but neither of these unlocks were account-wide, so all my other characters are permanently grounded even though they were using flying mounts just fine a couple days back.
Seems like it may be an issue for people like me who have yet to do any Dragonflight content. I’m currently doing a loremaster run of all the old expansions before I do any of the newer expansions I missed out on while taking a long hiatus from the game, and I don’t really want to jump ahead in the story to Dragonflight and do half of the first zone just to regain the ability to use steady flight .
About how long should it take if I speedrun the beginning of DF on a throwaway character? For those who had this issue and solved it by learning dragon riding on the Dragon Isles, did it unlock account-wide for you?
