📋 About This Mod

VOYAGERS UPDATE IS LIVE

and yes, it works with multiplayer

Installation issues are now resolved

Installation

Option 1: Automatic Installation

  • []Use Vortex Mod Manager to automatically install the mod (it actually works now)

    Option 2: Manual Installation

    • []Unzip the file and place the "Fly Like Iron Man (Voyagers Update)" folder inside of the "/GAMEDATA/MODS" folder (Create the folder if it doesn't exist)

      Un-installation

      • []Delete the "Fly Like Iron Man (Voyagers Update)" folder from the "/GAMEDATA/MODS" folder

      NOTE

      If you have had issues with installing my mod, I apologize for the confusion. Please ensure you clear your MODS folder of any remnants of my mod, and then delete the archives out of Vortex Mod Manager entirely before installing the new version of my mod.

      To be very clear the end result, whether you use a mod manager or a manual install should land you inside of the "\GAMEDATA\MODS" folder and you should be able to see my mod's folder "Fly Like Iron Man (Voyagers Update)". Click into this folder. If a folder titled "MODELS" and a file called "GCPLAYERGLOBALS. GLOBAL. MBIN" exist, the mod has been installed correctly.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you've tried this mod before, delete any old 'Fly Like Iron Man' folders from your MODS directory and purge the mod from Vortex before reinstalling to avoid conflicts.
  • After installing, double-check that your GAMEDATA/MODS folder contains the 'Fly Like Iron Man (Voyagers Update)' folder with a MODELS subfolder and GCPLAYERGLOBALS.GLOBAL.MBIN file — that confirms it's placed correctly.
  • Since the mod is multiplayer-compatible, make sure all players in your session have the same version installed to avoid desyncs.
