[2.0.0] Your personal jetpack - JW1 | TouchingCloud

Rocketeer? Awsome.
Any new features or improvements planned?

Yes, AI helicopter which can deliver you on required altitude. Wish to improve thrust vectoring script for smoother stabilization, but not sure yet that can achieve decent result.
Also check our new tool AirshowAssisstant - it can create highly adjustable smokes, pyro sparks and flare decoys, on any aircraft.

I bought this on marketplace for xbox. According to a video review I saw there is an 18 page manual, but I can’t access this. I’ve looked in detail on https://msfs.touching.cloud/ and on the linked simmarket page but can’t see a download link anywhere.

Does anyone know how I can access the user guide?

It was in my main folder so uploaded it for you here (hope that is ok!):

Has anyone one been able to use this recently?
Seems like some Sim Update or other has totally broken it. It does not want to fly, no matter what I do. Tried all the modes, but it doesn’t really steer, then wobbles and stalls to the guys death.

I think the last time I flew it was last year. It needs its own unique controls mapping and MSFS conveniently reset mine for me and I’ve not bothered to set it up again. Maybe in 2024 with the improved controls settings (and the ability to back them up to a file, yay!) then I’ll go through it all again.

Does it? I didn’t have to before. The flaps lever (up / down) cycles the different flying modes but the joystick axis should be as normal and that is not really working. Well it is but the thing is so unstable in turning and just stalls — and there is not really any pitch authority. I think the new something or other in a sim update has affected the physics.

Shame because I was trying to plan a group flight where everyone would be using it.

tested, confirmed, fixed. new update will be released next week along with three new liveries.
if you have version purchased/downloaded outside of the MSFS Marketplace you can fix it by changing flight_model.cfg

stall_coef_at_min_weight =0.78
to
stall_coef_at_min_weight =1.0

or even higher if you want stall to appear much later

Awesome stuff! Thank you very much for the quick response!
Will this apply to the freeware one from your website too?

JW1 compatibility with release version of FS2024:

  • Custom controls script does not work (walking, thrust vectoring, parachute)
  • no ignition on engines #2 #3 and #4

Do not use this add-on until further update. There will be no upgrade fee.

it’s on website, yes. could be last FS2020 update as making it compatible with FS2024 require a lot of code and configs files changes, there will be no back compatibility.

Anyone managed to get this working in VR? The POV makes things impossible - looking directly up instead of forwards and there doesn’t seem to be any way to correctly reposition within the helmet to be able to see the HUD
