The Only Way to Fly (a PROPER Jetpack)

A BETTER JETPACK [W.I.P.]

I've always been a big fan of the jetpack, and I've noticed a couple of mods with the jetpack injected in some way, and I can't say that I've ever seen a proper jetpack. I hit the search button ten times and came up with nothing. So I thought I would share a little somthing I've been messing with, it's pretty fun, but not quite complete. If this has already been done, I couldn't find it on here. Have a look at MY JETPACK.

So is this the kind that's like...you hold forward and instead of walking you fly like that?

Because those look like the jumping animation...is it like this?

Jump = Ascend.
Forward/Back/Left/Right = Move in the respective directions.
Crouch = Descend.

Nope, teh jetpack was a Warthog.

So it's like a vehicle that you can use like a side seat of a Warthog with driving abilities?

This looks really cool! The only thing I don't like, is that the bipeds are sitting down. They should stand up like the elite rangers.

Agreed, they should be standing up.
Other than that, looks lik a good job

I agree, I just havn't messed with the jmad yet, that's the easy part. I'm working on the exhaust effe atm.

why not? its the 1st thing i would have done just change the stringid for the seat to a turret of something

or speak to tural about changing the animations in the seat to the idle animations to act like Mc is more fleckable and not so "stiff" stood on the turret

i hope it comes out right. ive tried experimenting with this myself. oh yeah just so no one is wastes their time trying to make the ranger work, if you want ur elite ranger to work with a jetpack properly thats not goingo to happen. he is scripted to the map and there fore will cause the same problem as ai's. Just thought some people might wanna know that.

I don't know about the title of this topic, proper jet packs aren't the only way to fly...

But it looks amazing none the less.

proper JMAD and an exhause effect sounds like a win to me. Boarding would be cool.
