Adds Vertibirds which can be crafted in workshop mode.
The Vertibirds can be directly mounted, or called from far away.
They can give Air Support or be combat ridden in hunting mode.
They can also be upgraded.
You don't need to join any faction to use them.



WARNING!:
If you want to update from 1.3.70 or below, you have to get rid of all your Vertibirds in any way first.
There will be NO support for any bugs caused by not doing this.
Vertibirds used by 1.3.70 or below are NOT compatible in any way. But storing them first, will allow you to build new ones for free.


The French translation has to wait until 2Mylent has the time.

Manual install:
Put everything from the rar file, except the ESP files, into your %Game%/Data/ folder
Either rename one of the NeutralVertibirdsXX.esp files to "NeutralVertibirds.esp" or rename the *.ba2 file to "NeutralVertibirdsXX - Main.ba2" - replace XX with your language code.
Put the NeutralVertibirdsNoSchematics.esp into your %Game%/Data/ folder, if you don't want to search for schematics.




Update 2.10
  • VFT call ins were broken in 2.08.

Update 2.08
Spoiler:  
Show
  • Fixed some bugs regarding air support and VFT.
  • Air support package changes are now more smooth, as they should have been to begin with.
  • The Vertibird hovers now in place while falling back.


Update 2.05
Spoiler:  
Show
  • Added the "Fall Back" command to the V.C.U. while air support is active. The Vertibird will stop combat immediately, fall back to your position and stay there for 5 seconds.
  • Limited the pilot equipment inventory to 5 items.
  • The target workshop can now be selected within the store command.
  • Changed various menu / terminal conditions and removed the pretty outdated V.C.U. status messages.
  • Changed some quest mechanic related stuff.
  • Traveling Vertibirds are ghosted (invincible to everything except explosions).


Update 2.0
Spoiler:  
Show


Content:
  • Added the Vertibird workbench. The workbench can be used to upgrade the Vertibird in various ways.
  • A Vertibird Gunner appears on Air Support Vertibirds. They start a cooldown when dying, to minimize exploits.
  • The target workshop can now be selected within the store command.
  • Pilots are pre-mounted again. If you wish to use the old assignment, use 1.3.70 instead. But it will not be supported, nor updated.
  • Pilots and Gunners can be equipped and the Pilots gender can be chosen freely.
  • Air Support call ins can now be used from V.C.U. And while traveling (or hunting) in a Vertibird, if you possess more than one Vertibird.
  • Various schematics can be found within the commonwealth and needs to be found first, to craft Vertibirds. Stealing them will make the owner hostile to you.
  • There is a patch for people who don't want this.
  • The V.C.U. can now be bound on a hotkey.
  • Disables hunting mode option while traveling.
  • The Vertibird will now defend the player from angry settlers.
  • You will be noted, if a Vertibird crash, and where it will respawn.


Fixed:
  • Vertibirds will now work with far harbor.
  • When sent, Vertibirds will now be assigned to a new settlement, even if the Vertibird is currently at the chosen settlement's location.
  • Various bugs (like missing items, missing pilots, etc.) related to the Vertibird respawn was fixed.
  • Because of the way, the pilot is handled, he/she is now expendable. If there is ever a pilot related problem again -> Respawn him (Swap the gender)
  • Removed faction based dialogues from landings / takeoffs.
  • Various extra conditions and checks was added to prevent sending Vertibirds to interior cells (for example mechanist's lair) or building them in interior cells (M.L. again).
  • Herobrine was removed.



FAQ:

Q: The Vertibird does not land on the helipad!
A: The helipad is just a default fast travel marker. Vertibirds does as they please. They try to land there with priority, but will not always do.

Q: Vertibird has pathing issue XYZ!
A: The pathing is coded in the actual *.exe by Bethesda. It's not related to this mod in any way.

Q: There is no helipad available in <SettlementX>!
A: If you have already placed another fast travel marker (like the fast travel mat), you cannot build a second one - like the original.

Q: Where is the helipad in workshop mode?
A: The Vertibird, helipad and work bench are located under the Misc (quest) category. The control unit has to be crafted, at the Chemlab

Q: They are not there! / There is no Misc category!
A: You must either find the schematics first, or install the "NoSchematics" patch

Q: Where are all the schematics?
A: If you don't want to think a little about it, and find them all by yourself, I can put them in a spoiler for you:
Spoiler:  
Show
Vertibird Schematic - Cambridge PD
Control Unit Schematic - Cambridge PD
Helipad Schematic - Boston Airport Helipad (after the Prydwen arrived)
Workbench Schematic - Boston Airport Tower (after the Prydwen arrived)

Q: Is this mod multiple companion compatible?
A: Yes, as many as vacant seats in the Vertibird.

Q: Will VertibirdModX> work with this?
A: If they edit the VertibirdRace, or the Vertibird templates, it will.

Q: I have double Vertibird entries in workshop mode! / If I enter the Vertibird, I have no Minigun.
A: Go back reading the manual install part again. You did something wrong.

Q: Can you travel to undiscovered locations?
A: Not as long there is no full Pipboy support out for F4SE.

Q: The list of required materials is too long to display!
A: Scroll down the list with your mouse wheel.

Q: My pilot sometimes appears naked.
A: Don't worry, just open and close the pilot inventory again.

Q: My Vertibird went fly out of map.
A: Please post a papyrus log. Or at least give as many details as possible.

Q: Why are upgrades not visible? Why only 1 paint job?
A: Because I am a programmer, not a model maker. If you are, maybe you could help.

Q: Someone has stolen my sweet roll!
A: I used to be a lone wanderer like you, but then I got a Mini Nuke to the knee.

Q: Was it aliens?
A: I don't know. Therefore, aliens.
