Why do my Elytra Wings only work intermittently?
I do not forget to jump, but when I switch to Survival and then back to Creative, they won't activate whatsoever. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
Best Answer
To fly the Elytra you need to press the space key in mid-air. If you don't do this you will fall like normal. Even when you jump off the block you need to jump one more time in the air.

Answer 2
I found that, when I used a slime block for launching, I had the switch low to the ground. That meant that I was looking down when I launched, and flew straight into the ground while trying to work out why the wings weren't working.
I have now moved the switch to head height, two blocks in front of the launcher ensuring I am facing forward when I launch, and I glide off the platform.
