short mod description 
adds a well known cargo plane asset to the mojave sky - comes in two version ESPLESS which only can be seen at Eldorado dry lake, and an esp version which can be seen everywhere. This should be a nice encounter to add to your game. 


long mod description
You know those cargo planes located at the camp McCarran Airport? have you ever thought it would be cool to see them flying through new Vegas while you are playing the game?  well with this mod they have been repaired and made ready for regular flights right across the New Vegas wasteland. everyone knows that most of the factions in this game have barely enough resources to stay alive, so whether you think its MR house, NCR, enclave,  yes man, Easy Pete, The brotherhood of steel or the Cazadors I hope you come up with your own explanation for its usage.

This mod contains a replacer version, so it can be downloaded without any esp cost. Why is it good to have a version which doesn't use an ESP? 
well if you didnt know you can only download so many mods, because the games engine can only handle so many ESP files. so aiming to create a mod without using an ESP is number 1 priority. this is why I went out of my way to create a version which does exactly that.However, although a clever act on my end, the esp version does require that an asset from the base game be swapped for this one, that asset is called the streetsweeper. It appears only once in fnv at the Eldorado dry lake, so it was a perfect asset to be swapped. this allows you to enjoy the mod without adding to that precious limit. Even with all this said I strongly recommend using the ESP version as its just far superior in my opinion. 

The amount of aircraft and the route is completely arbitrary and can be changed, so if you have any requests for more aircraft, or alternative routes around the wasteland please leave a comment and I just might do it. 

Important to note
Both versions of this mod can be used together - so yes you can have the ESP version and the espless version to double the content, not quite 16x but it might be a bit more enjoyable

Requirements?
None can be installed on a vanilla game


This mod comes in a few different versions. so make sure you pick the best one for you.

ESP version

Positives

• Can be seen anywhere in the wasteland
• dynamic sounds
• a version which is heavily optimized to reduce performance impact due to it always being loaded

Negatives

• uses an ESP
• imposter
  

Espless version 2 
This was intended to be a lot different, but I rushed into development without thinking and ended up producing this wild wasteland version- only install this version for a laugh

Positives

• Works sort Of like an encounter, which is a familiar thing for fnv. 
• B29 sounds

• no Esp used - Replacer

Installation

Manual installation - 
The mod files are setup so that the "data/" folder is the root. so just drag and drop that into the folder containing your fallout new Vegas executable  and then activate the ESP in "data files", archive invalidate, and the vehicle will be in your game

Mod manager installation - 
The mod files are structured correctly, so you are good to install with your mod manager.
