renault Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 So now I know "Jack Sawyer" is just an alias for Jack Jetson! You look like you've mastered it:-) Cheers R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chunk Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Awesome shots Jack!! I’ve always wanted a jet pack so I could fly over traffic during rush hour and laugh at the peasants in their cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifejogger Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 It is nice to try something different every now and then Jack. Nice shots and keep working at it and you will get the hang of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a reply I posted in Iain Emms preview screenshots on Seattle buildings ... I added the "jet pack" for Pete. Much more immersive than a "chopper" https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/33128-vskylabs-jet-pack-x-1-freeware/ https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/21248-car-«-chevrolet-camaro-ss-»-xplane-10/ https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/21024-ac-cobra_spider-car/ PS if you have major issues getting them going, just import the .acf file into Planemaker and reprocess it, saving it as a 11.30 version. (I don't remember if I did this or not, but its easy enough to do if you have issues) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patful Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Might as well do a custom paint with bridge scrapes all over the helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingleaf Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 That is very cool Jack. Plus if you get a bit peckish you could always "roast" a wiener on the flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macca22au Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Good on you Jack: I won't even try it in our make-believe world....which is increasingly so real it's hard to separate true from fictional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adambar Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Pretty cool Jack, but I think your watching a little to much TV maybe. I think James Bond used one of those things in a movie if i'm not mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
