REQUIREMENTS
Script Hook V + ASI Loader (dinput8.dll)
OpenIV
INSTALLATION
Copy everything inside “1 – GTA V folder” into your GTA V folder (the one with GTA5.exe): AirbenderMod.asi, AirbenderMod.ini and the AirbenderSFX folder.
Open OpenIV, turn on Edit Mode, and go to mods/x64c.rpf/anim/ingame/[email protected]/
(No mods folder yet? Use OpenIV’s “Copy to mods folder” on x64c.rpf first.)
Import both files from “2 – OpenIV (animations)”: [email protected] and [email protected]
Start the game and press F5. You should see “Anims: bending 12/12”, which means everything loaded.
Updating from an older version? Delete the old .ycd files first. Keep only ONE copy of each, or the arms won’t animate.

The glider lands on its own, and an air cushion protects you from hard falls.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Mod does nothing: update Script Hook V for your game version.
F5 says “bending 0/12” or the arms don’t move: the .ycd files aren’t in the right place, or an old copy is still installed.
“Staff combo not installed”: [email protected] is missing.
No sounds: the AirbenderSFX folder must sit next to AirbenderMod.asi.
Low FPS: lower MaxParticles under [BendingFX] in the INI (default 350).
AirbenderMod.log in your GTA V folder lists everything the mod checks at startup.
