WHAT
This mod adds an immersive command menu to your Flyable Personal Vertibird Pilot, so you can issue them your orders.
You can even instruct your Pilot from afar, by building FPV Command Radios in your outdoor Settlements.
NOTE: This is an Add-On for PJMail's Flyable Personal Vertibird and will not work without that mod! Download & install first!
WHY
Seriously? Because why not!
HOW
Prerequisites
>> There are absolutely NO "but", "what if" or "can I get" exceptions to those requirements.
- You need F4SE installed and running.
- You need PJMail's Flyable Personal Vertibird installed and running.
- You need the FPV Tracking Module installed and running.
- You need Rename Anything installed and running.
- You need F4MS installed and running.
Installation
- Download and install mod (try manual install if you've got a mod mananger and "it just doesn't work").
- Plugin is ESLified ESP, so will not tie up one of your precious load order slots.
- Back-up your saves.
- Activate the mod.
Update to 2.6
- Install FPV Interactive Pilot 2.6.
- Done.
Basic Usage
- Load game.
- Find your Pilot and talk to them.
- Or build a Radio and talk to your Pilot that way.
- Please don't forget to endorse the mod if you like it, thank you!
Issuing orders to your Pilot in Person
- Build Flyable Personal Vertibird / Go to your Flyable Personal Vertibird.
- Make the Pilot appear if they are not already there, by entering the bird briefly and then disembarking again.
- Point at the Pilot, press E) for COMMAND and select any of the presented options, see below for a description.
Issuing orders to your Pilot by Radio
- You can build an FPV Command Radio at any outdoor Settlement. Indoors not possible due to game limitations.
- The FPV Command Radio is in the SPECIAL workshop category and it needs radiant power to work.
- You need SCIENCE 1 to build it (just like you need for the Vertibird, so shouldn't be an issue even).
- When using the Radio, it may take a few seconds for your Pilot to respond. Much like real life.
- If you don't have a Vertibird nor a Pilot for any reason, there will simply be no answer on the Command Radios. Such immersion!
- You can't access the cargo hold from the Radio. Makes sense, doesn't it.
- If the Vertibird is parked (not flying) in another Settlement or elsewhere, you can use the Radio to recall the Bird to your Location.
- If the Vertibird is flying, you can instruct the Pilot to land near you instead (subject to change).
Tuning the Radio
- The FPV Tracking Module will pick up any Vertibirds you build or use.
- Any Vertibirds the FPV Tracking Module knows about will appear in the Tuning Menu.
- If a Vertibird you have built does not show up on the list, you'll have to use (fly) it once, or store and then rebuild it.
- Selecting any VB from that Menu will Tune the Radio to the selected Vertibird.
- The Radio will be automatically renamed to include the Name of the Vertibird it is tuned to.
- If the Vertibird gets destroyed, you won't get a response anymore - Simply tune the Radio to another Bird you own.
Changing the Pilot's Outfit
- To select a default option (applied when building a vertibird), create the FPV Interactive Pilot Settings Holotape at the Chem Station/Utility category.
- From Version 2.5 onward, there is a new option in the Pilot menu to change an individual Pilot's outfit, without affecting other Pilots.
- There are six possible Pilot Outfit options:
- Leave As Is - This Add-On does nothing, the Pilot uses the default outfit supplied by Flyable Personal Vertibird or by some other Mod.
- BoS - Uses the BosVertibirdPilotOutfit for your Pilot.
- Minutemen - Uses the MinutemenVertibirdPilotOutfit for your Pilot.
- Railroad - Uses the RailroadHQOutfit for your Pilot. Not a faction pilot outfit as there doesn't seem to exist any.
- Institute - Uses the InstituteJumpsuit for your Pilot. Not a faction pilot outfit for the same reason as above.
- Military - Uses a custom outfit consisting of Military Fatigues, Military Cap and Patrolman Sunglasses.
- If you wish to manually equip an outfit to your Pilot, select the "Leave As Is" outfit option and use the "Let's Trade!" option (see below).
- If you have overhaul Mods that edit the faction Pilot outfits, their changes will apply to the Pilot without the need for a patch.
Trading with your Pilot
- This option is new in Release 2.3
- The Pilot is Essential since Release 2.2, but may still get deleted/respawned (when you store the Bird in workshop, for example).
- BEWARE: If the Pilot NPC gets destroyed/respawns, it will have lost anything you may have put in it's inventory.
- Therefore, this Option is disabled by default. If you want to enable it:
- Build a FPV Interactive Pilot Settings Holotape at the Chembench (Utility category).
- Run holotape in Pip Boy or Terminal.
- Toggle the "Trade with Pilot" setting to Enabled.
- When talking to the Pilot in person, the new "Let's Trade!" option will be made available, near the bottom of the list.
Menu Commands

- RETURN TO BASE AND UNLOAD CARGO: Sends the Vertibird to park at it's home settlement, unloading any cargo as it arrives.
