Volare Plane bug???

[Divine]

So im now at the part in the volare quest where i must raise the bomber from the lake.

but problem is as i go closer to the plane like where the ballast is supposed to be attached to, the transclucent thing doesnt show up.

hence i cant attach anything at all. and the quest also does not show a marker, but im pretty sure theres only one plane in the lake...

Any ideas??

If not im so pissed at having to kill the boombers to help mr house -_-

The current quest stage is "Attach the ballast from Loyal to the B-29 at the bottom of Lake Mead."?

Did you receive the ballast from Loyal?
Did you try to just add it to the plane wings, even if you can't see the translucent thing?

yes i have checked that i have the ballast in my inv and theres 2 of it.

as for the second part i did press around but nothing happened.

completequest command does not complete the quest properly since i cant get the boomers to pledge their loyalty to house -____-

I'm just spit balling here because I'm having the same issue.

9 times out of 10, mods are the cause for problems, but I don't think this is the case since I tried uninstalling all mods and loading that save file. Would cleaning the files in FNVEdit do anything?

I even created a new character and essentially rushed to this quest to see if that did anything, but both characters are having the same issue.

The only console command I can get to do anything is "CompleteQuest", which screws up the storyline. SetStage does not seem to cooperate, but oddly enough, getstage shows that the stage number is 30, which according to the wiki page should be 40. setstage 40 doesn't do anything.

I'm half tempted to try a complete un/reinstall just for this quest. I tried validating the files, which also didn't help.

Any other ideas?

Try this, then go to the shore to set off Loyal's detonator... you did get the detonator, right?

Or if you'd prefer that the ballast markers appears on the plane so you can still attach them...
"100637".enable
"100637".setdestroyed 0
"10063A".enable
"10063A".setdestroyed 0

If you didn't get the detonator...
player.additem 14c068 1

And if you didn't get the objective to attach the ballast...

I'll try it since I'm right at this point in my latest save. I will let you know how it goes.

Confirmed fix! Thank you so very much just watched the plane resurface. I had the detonator and the ballast but there were no indicators, but I followed these instructions and it worked. :D

[Divine]

damn too bad i overwrote all my saves already

[Divine]

Hey jdc how did you figure out what to type to resolve it :O

Question:
I'm on the shore, the detonator is beeping, and I do infact HAVE the detonator, but how do I activate it?
