v1.00 - This is the very first time release.


===============
1. DESCRIPTION
===============

This mod adds an X-wing starfighter from Star Wars Series. You can use it to go anywhere in Tamriel at a blazing speed!!


1. What to do in game
=====================

A spell called "Command X-Wing Fighter" and a key to get inside the cockpit will be added to your inventory AUTOMATICALLY when the game starts.

Using "Command X-Wing Fighter" spell, you can summon/call X-wing, you can make X-wing follow you (this is cool) or make it stay where it is.

Using the key, you can activate the starfighter. Approach and when you see "X-wing Fighter" sign on your screen, activate it by pressing spacebar.

Point upward and proceed to go up; point downward and proceed to go down. Going down is sometimes a bit tricky but eventually you will get the hang of it.

Press the spacebar again to turn the engine off and exit the starfighter.

Note: the key is actually an invisible ring, so you can wear it when you are alone in a different map without X-wing or far far away from X-wing.



2. How it works
===============

Basically, it is a flying horse.

This mod is based on the famous Akatoshmount by Saidenstorm. I replaced the dragon with X-wing.

Well, dragon is an animal and X-wing is an inanimate object. So I had to modify it, animate it and finally make it bahave like the famous Midas Carpet by xilver.

And voila! We have a X-wing Fighter in Tamriel!!


----[Pros]-------------------
You can travel very fast. It can go up higher than the highest peaks in Tamriel.

You can call X-wing anytime anywhere.

It's cool looking. ;-)

It animates: X-Wing's s-foils lock in attack position automatically when it is called.


----[Cons]-------------------

A. Fast travel
I don't recommend using fast travel while on the X-wing. If you do, you will end up at your loacation with your character and X-wing gone!

This is NOT a bug. Simply use ""Command X-Wing Fighter" spell again (press C) and your character will show and call it again to use.

To prevent this, you can get out of the vehicle and use fast travel and summon the X-wing again if you want to use it.


B. Speed
Because it travels so fast, unless you have a highend system, your game might crash once in a while.

This is not due to the nature of this mod, but it is because your system cannot handle loading area so quickly.

So, if you have a highend system on your computer, no problem. It will work beautifully.
If you have a mediocre system, speed with moderation. (Wait until the system loads the most of contents of the map you're in. And then move on.)
If you have a poor system, the game might crash so often that you might get frustrated and uninstall this mod.
I've warned you, so please don't complain.


===============
2. Requirements
===============

This mod uses a script based on Oblivion Script Extender.
The latest version of OBSE will do.
