BinaryArchitecture and Paragon Equipment have teamed up to create an awesome personal transportation experience.
Getting Started
------------------
1. Unpack your new gear by rezzing and clicking the crate
2. Wear the HUD and Jetpack
Using the HUD
------------------
Click any of the themes along the bottom bar to select a new theme. If you would like to theme the jetpack in parts, click
pieces of it on the HUD to "mask them out". This will cause the theming system to ignore those parts when applying a new
theme. To quickly deselect all currently masked out parts, please click Deselect on the HUD.
To store the Jetpack along the left side of the screen please click the "Jetglide" button on the right of the HUD near the Power
Level indicator.
Using the Jetpack
------------------
There are two ways to use the Jetpack; mouselook and third person control.
The easiest is to enter mouselook, jump to engage flight and hold forward to apply thrust.
Alternatively, from the HUD, ALT Cam control can be enabled. To begin flying jump and to steer while in third-person mode,
click and hold on the jetpack and move your mouse to steer.
Extra Features
------------------
To quickly gain altitude from standing, rapidly press jump.
To burst forward, double tap forward thrust.
To disable the jetpack midflight, rapidly press page down/c.
Additional Notes
------------------
This jetpack comes with free updates for life.
Doesn't work in no fly zones
I wanted it for no fly zones. Alas it turns back off in a few seconds. So it's useless for my desired use.
Best jetpack on the grid
This is hands down the best jetpack you'll find on the grid. From the moment you rez and click the box, the creator immediately begins flexing with the sheer finesse that this thing is built with. This product brought a magic to freefalling in sl back that I haven't felt since back in the early days of sl parachuting when even flexi prims weren't in beta. The only thing I would want from this is a standard flight mode that you could use with normal sl flight so that I could make use of it even more. 5 stars would definitely recommend.
Looks great, but doesn't really fly.
Jetpack allows you to jump fairly high and then glide back down.. that's about it.. No ability to gain or maintain altitude and actually fly anywhere. Other than that, it does look good.
4.3 stars out of 5
Before I begin: This is one of the best jetpacks on the market.
But I do have a few minor gripes: The texture maps aren't available to make your own customs, and the method of third-person control is... interesting. I would personally have preferred E/C for throttle and W/S for pitch.
The mouselook flight is superlative, the wing animation is excellent, I love the way the engine vents open, and the sounds are quite nice too. Definitely the best jetpack on the market.
Really neat
Even the fucking box it comes in is great.
