📋 About This Mod
You can now craft a Personal Flyable Vertibird using the Fallout 3 "Enclave" model created by Strider5/DawnOfAmericaTeam (under Special in Workshop). These can be built in addition to your existing FPVertibirds, fly the same, carry passengers, and are treated identically. Improvements are - the landing gear retracts and the wreckage looks correct.
Latest version (V1. 3+) REQUIRES FPV1. 6. 9 (or later)
(I recommend you Store/Tab and Recraft your ECV Vertibird at any Settlement after upgrading to FPV 1. 6. 9+ECV 1. 3)
NOTE1: If still using FPV 1. 6. 8 ONLY use V1. 2 (Under Old Files). DO NOT use ECV V1. 3 as your game WILL NOT START!
NOTE2: F4SE required if you want the landing Gear to retract, or to use the WASD keys when flying on Manual.
NOTE3: V1. 3b should now have no issue with Classic Holstered Weapons Mod and Complex Item Sorter Patches
Latest version of F4SE (0. 7. 8) has a bug that prevents the Landing Gear from retracting. Sorry.

This Classic VB model from DawnOfAmerica has a number of restrictions:
[]The Left side door/Gunner hatch does not close, and the right side Door/Gunner hatch does not open.[/]
[]Currently the second gunner and Cat positions are not supported.[/]
[]The "Change Paintjob" menu option is only used to prevent faction aggression. Retexture mods don't yet work.[/]
[]It will not rotate when hovering (D or A button does nothing).[/]
[]The 3rd Person viewpoint is too high.[/]
[]Landing Gear wont retract if you don't have F4SE installed properly (or at all on GamePad/VR).[/]
[]The workshop Recipe is the 'easy' FPV one. Optional Patch available to require looted Vertibird Parts (like FPV Realistic).[/]
[]There is no special docking animation supplied for this model so it looks odd docked at the Prydwen.[/]
[]These Vertibirds have very poor visibility from the Pilot seats so I suggest flying in the gunner position, or use 3rd person.[/]
[*]If you also have my Warbird mod then use this Patch

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 202 endorsements and nearly 10k downloads.
- Adds a unique FO3-style Vertibird without messing with vanilla Vertibirds.
- Craftable, so you can build it yourself instead of hunting one down.
⚠️ Cons

- Last updated in July 2026, so it might not be actively maintained for future game patches.
For Fallout 4 players who want a classic Enclave Vertibird to fly around the Commonwealth, especially those who enjoy personal vehicle mods. If you're looking for a full Vertibird overhaul or deep customization, this might be too simple. Skip if you prefer ground-based travel or don't care about vehicle mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if the mod requires a mod manager like Vortex or NMM for proper installation.
- Make sure you have the necessary perks or materials to craft the Vertibird, as the description doesn't specify.
- If you're on PC, consider using the console to spawn the Vertibird if crafting is too grindy.
