Version 1.3.FIXIT is now released! this update should fix all the animation issues that people encountered in the previous versions

Version 1.3.FIXIT is the latest update and should cover all of the known bugs from v1_3

this is the full list of stuff that is in v 1.3.FIXIT:

fixed the vanishing vertibird mesh( hopefully, tested it over and over so it should work)

first person view is brought up much faster to not break immersion

animations added and now everything should work ( no more wobbling)

created new meshes and textures for the jumpsuit to be more personalized

controls :

now you can retract your landing gear with R

when you have your landing gear out, you move twice as slow as you would without them!

FIXED the descend button! now to descend come to a full stop, and PRESS C![/color]


when exiting the vertibird, the player is equipped with a helmet and jumpsuit instead of being naked

when exiting the vertibird, the player runs at normal speed

the interior has been enlarged

The original "elasticky" controls by j3x have been changed to be more tight and fun!

the 1st person view has been changed to provide a larger view area

Issues/Disclaimers

1. when Driving the 3rd person camera shifts to a center point of view, when exiting the camera changes back to default vanilla settings if you are using a mod that changes the camera view point I am sorry and I am working on making a compatibility patch for you

2. sometimes glitches happen! please tell me all the bugs you encounter. right now it seems that the biggest one is when you die in the vertibird, or reload a save, the camera viewpoint stays centered. there is one way to fix it and that is to enter and exit the vertibird once.


YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!
