He just keeps spinning in a [censored] circle, ive tried with 3 other dragons. Is there no way to turn these things?

Ask him nicely. They have feelings, you know...

I have nothing helpful to say. I will leave now.

You don't control the Dragon, only calling targets make them move.

So if there is no target my Dragon will just fly in circles?

http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Dragonborn:Dragon_Ridingshould explain things better

If they have no target they will continue to fly in circles, what you could do is fast travel then give him a target and he will then move. Dragon flying isn't really something I do a lot, It's more or less something to do to either not fight the dragon, or kill a group of enemies really quickly. Other than that your just making a grand entrance so all the townsfolk worship you.

Hope this helps,

Cheers

Its more of a novelty. If you joined the vampire faction, you'd probably have better luck turning into a vamp and flapping your wings.

Question, as I hardly ride the dragon, do they actually worship you?

No......I just like to think they do.

I'd recommend you watch the movie "How to train your dragon".

But seriously, you have to tell us what you're playing Skyrim on.

Yes and no. The dragon calls you "thuri" which means master. But when Bend Will wears off they're like "Yeah, our business is finished".

you cant control the dragon directly, they would be too fast and your game would lag (or crash) from the loading. you CAN tell the dragon to kill npcs, and in this way you can do something of an "8" pattern to move around but its complicated, fustrating and takes a lot of work.
