'If' i'm not too busy, I'll probably cook somthing up for you if you ask nicely.
I disagree with this. This is more of a local thing, and wil not be valid for each person. If you're wanting it to move faster in one direction, the most obvious concept would be a custom movement system. Just increase the rate of flying north vs. flying south or another direction. That way it stays valid for all players, not just the local player.
