thanks both for oyur replies. Using the hidden Jetpac works ok, although trying to detach myself from the Jetpac doesn't work when pressing any other keys or trying to change weapons. obviously I realise third person in early stages which is great so far, just testing stuff really. Don't the alpha testers test all these kinds of things?
Anyway, great work so far. Character creator is good, can't wait to see that evolve, a good start.
