You would have to use the GMSummon command to spawn a dino flyer into the game for you to fly around.
Here is the command and its correct syntax:

Here is a list of dinosaurs:
You need to use the data in the last column.

Sorry about that. Some one or thing changed the dino layout. Here are the birds:

But I guess the pteranodon is not a bird because it is not listed here with the birds.

Here is an example for the pteranodon. 150 should be the level.

cheat GMSummon "Ptero_Character_BP_C" 150

Thanks for that, unfortunately it looks like even summoning them in doesn't work. They appear but just doesn't give you the option to ride them.

Tyr adding this to the GameUserSettings.ini file under the heading: [ServerSettings]

bForceCanRideFliers=true

It is quite possible that the mod author has this setting set to false.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

GMsummon command brings them in with saddle requirements. Spawnsomething spawns them in with out need of saddle and can ride them. I forget exact command for it though... Ill try to go check

EDIT - here is the 150 version. Just change 150 to level you want.
also here is a site to get the spawn code commands...
