Can't target vertibirds in VATS

[mkr1977]

Well... after about 40 hours of play I finally got the BoS into the Commonwealth, only to find that when fighting BoS vertibirds, I am unable to target them in VATS. One of my mods must be the culprit, but which?

I am pretty spooked by this as I do not fancy playing through without being able to target vertibirds in VATS, plus the potential for other trouble.

[Urtho]

Vertibirds are frequently out of VATS range in the normal course of the game even without mods due simply to being in flight - you'll only be able to target them when they get somewhat close to the ground in their flight path.

 

If you can never target them even when they are close by, then that is another matter. Can't help you pinpoint a specific mod, do the binary search method if you think it is mod related - disable half your mods, test. If no change disable other half, retest. Continue disabling half your mods at a time in smaller groups until you narrow down where the problem is.

Thanks for the reply.

I couldn't target even close by. I start without mods, and slowly add mods until I can get a feel of what went wrong.
