More functionality options
Do you think you'll ever add the ability to trigger a return on a flier manually through either an inventory item(maybe even just remote using a cuff) or the radial menu?

Also, do you think you'll ever add functionality for the flier to return to base if you died after a safe landing. Maybe use different leg cuffs for each functionality, 1 for only returning while flying, one for returning if the last rider died a certain distance from a flag, one to return if the previous rider died and there are still aggressive creatures in the area.

I only ask because it'd be nice to have a chance of keeping a flier alive if for example the player dismounted to deal with a flock of vultures but got overwhelmed.

If you look at the development sprint board[trello.com] and read through the Suggestions / Features thread you'll see that this is something I have answered a number of times, and is also something I am actively working on.

To re-iterate, I plan to add "Recall to Flag..." and "Send to Flag..." commands. I have no plans to add an auto-return on death if you have safely dismounted. The manual recall command will cover these use cases in place of an auto-return.

I am 99% done on the "Recall to Flag..." command. Having issues with dinos that are in stasis, and subsequently waking them from stasis (there is no function/trigger/event for this in ARK Dev Kit), so any solution thus far is a massive hack that does not quite work.

v2.4.0 adds the ability to recall a flyer to a specific flag. See change notes for details.
