📋 About This Mod
///////////////////
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
This mod adds a small quest that lets the player acquire a summonable and pilotable Vertibird home after a small quest, which depends on the version you install.
-----------------------
MAIN VERSION
-----------------------
-
[]Starting the Quest[/]
The quest can be started at the east end of Searchlight Airport. There you will find an old pilot trying to fix up his Vertibird after something flew into it. All he needs are a few parts and it'll be good to go. Check the images for a detailed view of the quest's starting location.
-
[]Piloting the Vertibird[/]
Immediately after completing the quest, you can ask JNKS to teach you how to pilot the Vertibird, and after a quick lesson, you will be granted the ability to pilot the Vertibird yourself.
----------------------
TTW VERSION
----------------------
-
[]Starting the Quest[/]
In the TTW version, the quest automatically starts around six in game hours after you've completed The Waters of Life. You will receive a radio transmission on your Pip-Boy so long as you are in the Capital Wasteland, and the quest will start. Give it a listen and the quest will direct you where to go next.
However, if you enter the Mojave before starting the new quest, you can still do the original quest as seen above. Once either quest starts, it locks the other, so do be warned of that.
-
[]Piloting the Vertibird[/]
This one is a bit different, instead of instantly allowing piloting access, RK-5 will require you to complete the main quest Take it Back! before granting you the ability to pilot the Vertibird yourself. However, after that quest is done, simply ask RK-5 for piloting lessons and he will give them. From there, you will be able to pilot the Vertibird yourself.
-
[]Additional Travel Points[/]
In addition to all the Fallout 3 DLC locations, the TTW version also allows you to freely fly between the Capital and Mojave once you have unlocked the ability to do so at the Union train station.
