With FOMM/NMM:
Do the same as you would with any mod, locate the folder then activate it, if prompted overwrite, done!
Extract the "searchlight airport NCR folder" folder to your fallout new vegas data folder, mine is: (c: programmefiles/steam/steamapps/common/falloutnv/data) And overwrite if prompted then activate it with the default launcher, enjoy!
When you leave or enter searchlight airport sometimes the weather changes, causing all lights to turn off. Don't worry. It's normal and all lights will slowly turn on again in a time period of 20-40 seconds along with the weather that change in that time. This is a problem with the default game.
Searchlight airport is incompatible with:
