Because there is no way for an addon to tell how high you are off the ground. It's not possible.

simple solution to that, macro:

/console pitchlimit 0
/console pitchlimit 90

(which will make your pitch exactly level, so if you hit it while already flying forward, will make you fly directly forward)

hmm... this doesn't work in an inutitive fashion.

a) i have to put these in separate macros (together in a macro, as given, they seem to have no effect on either flight pitch or camera angle), and

b) when i use the "/console pitchlimit 0" macro, moving/in flight, while this affects my camera angle synchronously, i have to right-click and wiggle my mouse (while the pitch limit is in effect) to get flight pitch to change.

i expect these two things are related.
