FlightAssistant

This is a major update to FlightAssistant. The mod has been rewritten (it took 5 months). The version lock has been bumped to 1.20.4 only, and YACL is now required.

Config screen

Now individual HUD components can be toggled via an in-game config screen provided by YACL. Requires ModMenu

Flight planner

In FlightAssistant 2.0, you can add countless amounts of "waypoints" along your route to help you navigate more precisely.

Autoland (experimental)

With the new Flight Planner, you can set a landing waypoint. The mod will try to determine the optimal angle to descent to reach your destination. If the Minimum Descent Altitude is specified, the MINIMUMS callout will be played upon reaching it.

Speed and Heading selection in autopilot settings

Now it is possible for you to configure the autopilot to only use fireworks below a specified speed or to follow a specific heading (0-360)

Error resistance

FlightAssistant 2.0 can function even when an internal error occurs. The faulting system will be temporarily disabled, and the error will be displayed on the pilot's HUD. It is also possible for them to reset the failed system to try to bring it back online.

Void damage level alerts and protection

FlightAssistant 2.0 offers protections when near the Void. The mod will limit the player's descent rate and will attempt to recover if the pilot gets too low.

Enhanced HUD Color Usage

The new HUD uses more colors to help the player focus on important information, such as their set heading, altitude, or the ground level

Enhanced Flight Mode Display

The new HUD features an improved Flight Mode display with a separate color and better wording

Enhanced Safe Pitch Display

The new HUD displays arrows when the pitch gets unsafe, so that the user knows where to move their controls in order to recover safely.

Automatic Elytra Extensions

If the player starts falling and there's a risk of death from fall damage, FlightAssistant 2.0 will automatically extend the elytras and activate necessary protections. However, if the player is looking directly down to use a clutch item (such as a Water Bucket), protections will not activate in order to not interfere.

Automatic Elytra Retraction

Elytras get significant damage when underwater. For this reason, the mod will retract the wings upon contact with water

That was a big log, but it's not exhaustive! There are still many smaller improvements that you will notice during use.

Thank you for using FlightAssistant!
