📋 About This Mod
About:
This mod is primarily aimed at immersion seeking players. Be warned, just like a real helmet it will restrict your view and you will feel more enclosed.
Experience a different PA Helmet HUD for each of games Power Armor types which can be taken off / changed at any time or even destroyed in battle. Position the PA HUD to your liking in game and in real time using the all new Power Armor Configuration Holotape!
Activate the optional P. A. F. A. S (Power Armor Frame Activation System) Module to experience a more immersive way to enter / exit power armor frames.
For those players seeking a less immersive Power Armor experience I offer a basic installation option comprising of a selection of PA HUD replacements, including the original PA HUD with no transparency. The basic install uses no scripts and does not include P. A. F. A. S.
Installation:
1. Install via mod manager of your choice.
2. Complete the FOMOD wizard choosing the options you want to use.
3. Finalise your installation by following the instructions located in \Fallout 4 VR\Data\Kabuto_Readme.txt (this step is very important)
P. A. F. A. S (Power Armor Frame Activation System) Module:
The P. A. F. A. S Module is disabled as default, to enable it, simply navigate to the 'PA Helmet Configuration' holotape and activate it from the terminal menu (recommended to do this while out of a power armor frame). It can be disabled at any time to restore original functionality.

[]Standing at the rear of a power armor frame & facing the fusion core insertion point, the player will now see the option to 'Open' a power armor frame instead of the standard 'Enter' prompt.
[
]When a player 'Opens' a frame, the power armor frame opening animation will play.[]When it is safe for the player to enter a frame the 'Open' prompt will change back to 'Enter' - At this point, press your activate button to enter the frame.
[]When a player enters a frame using this method the immersive exit sequence will be also be triggered upon the player exiting their PA frame.
- You can still enter or interact with a PA frame 'normally' at any point by simply moving away from the fusion core insertion point. For example, by moving around to the front or sides of the PA frame.Note: Rest assured that P. A. F. A. S does not use secondary activation prompts which are known to CTD Fallout 4 VR under certain conditions.
