ZSZ Vertibird Jump (BETA). File: zsz_vertibird_jump.esp
MAJOR NEW UPDATE Promoted from VBJ Alpha3 V70
Beta Notes:
You can fly in any direction, change course whenever you want, hover, jump out, or land wherever you want. You can mix this directional control with normal (VFT) Vertibird Fast Travel.
Enable options under ZSZ_Config in a Chem station. Craft items under ZSZ_Items in a Chem Station. Craft Vertibird Jump Grenades and throw them to start Jump missions.
Craft control rings or grenades to command directions, hover, landing. (Grenades are for if you are in Power Armour). Enter a hover to jump out. Fall damage is your responsibility.
Once airborne, after each command, use an UpdatePackage item to update to the new package. The easiest one to use is the AID item. I suggest you hotkey this item.
Use the special ReleaseMission ring/grenade to end the mission. Or just dismount/jump out.
Experiment with different hotkey layouts. Or, if you don’t like time pressure, all commands can be issued inside the PipBoy menus.
When mixing VFT control with directional control, it is best either to deselect your directional package (unequip item, then use UpdatePackage) or, as you are landing, activate a Land package. You will not be able to use directional control until the VFT travel lands at its destination (of course you can change VFT destination at any time). Once you land at your VFT destination, directional control will resume.
It is not recommended to mix the use of control rings and control grenades - you can end up confusing yourself. If you are in PA leave the control rings at home. If you are not in PA, leave the control grenades at home.
If the Vertibird dies before you trigger a ReleaseMission item, the quest will be locked and you will not be able to summon more Jump Vertibirds. To prevent this, keep an eye on Vertibird damage and do ReleaseMission (or just jump/dismount) before the VB dies. If not, you will have to uninstall the mod, save and then restore, then (if you want) reinstall the mod.
