Q: Why is my game crashing when I transition levels?
A: This is a current flaw of UE4SS. You can try using ChuckShart's UE4SS Crash fixer
Q: The helicopter mod isn't working. and I did everything correctly. What do I do?
A: Feel free to reach out for assistance in the ITR discord server. There are plenty of modders in there that are willing to help out.
Q: Why does my body glitch out while riding the helicopter?
A: The player character was not designed to move as fast as the helicopter goes. Rest assured that this issue is visual only and If it is making you get motion sick, there is now a motion sickness button that you can press right before using the helicopter.
