How to install and use the PPV (Personal Planetary Vehicle) mod for Starfield


What is it?

A fun little mod that turns the legendary EXPLORER jetpack into a cool-looking PPV when you equip it. :)

How to use:

Use the alt key to fly forward.
Hold the space key while airborne to hover and use your mouse to turn.

How to get the best experience:

Bind both the PPV and your favorite boostpack to your thumb keys to quickly switch between them.
After holding the W key to move forward, you can let go and only use the alt key to keep moving forward.
For aerial combat with the PPV, use guns with scopes.

How to install:

Download and install the main file using vortex.
Download the PPV - Personal Planetary Vehicle CustomINI and place the StarfieldCustom.ini file in your My Documents\My Games\Starfield directory.
Download and place all three files from the PPV - Personal Planetary Vehicle Main into D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Starfield.
Launch your game and load your latest save.
Bind a second jump key in the Bindings Menu in the game Settings. Left ALT is a good option.
Make sure you have the Explorer Boostpack equipped.
Open the console command in game by pressing the (~) key and type: bat ShipFlightEnabled
Save your game and take to the skies!

Notes:

The mod is best experienced in third person.
For good boostsound choices, use Boost Pack Sound Overhaul.
The different planet's gravities greatly affect the physics of the Boostpack. This mod contains a workaround that forces all planet's gravities to more similar values. This is to allow the jetpack to perform mostly the same across all the planets and therefore be more reliable and useful, especially for combat.


Uninstall Instructions:

Unequip your Boostpack.
Open the console command menu and type: bat ShipFlightDisabled
Save your game afterwards.
Uninstall/Remove the mod with vortext
Remove the three files you installed in the D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Starfield.
Remove the following lines from your StarfieldCustom.ini.

Thank you!

I want to thank, VolkerA4 for allowing me to use his Camera Centered Mod.
Thanks to MasDrago for allowing me to use his Boostpack to Jetpack (A TRUE Jetpack Experience) Mod.
All those folks that made the jet pack tweaks so I could learn from them.
