Locke's Ace Combat Support Aircraft

Description
<<Roper 1 lost, along with the mission. Not that it was a load worth protecting.>>
A long while back, I started doing a number of C-17 reskins for fun. In a sense, it sort of started my ventures into making actual addons instead of simple reskins for personal use. I've finally bothered to touch them up for a full release. Didn't want to make a bunch of factions that only have a plane or two, so they're all accessable under a single "Ace Combat Reskins" faction under BLUFOR.

Features
C-17 Globemaster
- Erusea (2019)
- Osea (5 Variants)
- Emmeria (Standard and Low-Vis)
KC-135 Stratotanker
- Erusea (2019)
- General Resource LTD.
- Osea (3 OADF variants, 1 National Guard variant)
- Emmeria (Standard and Low-Vis)
- Yuktobania
Soft Compatability
- Erusea

Known Bugs
- Some areas, like part of the C-17's right wing and its sensors, and the KC-135's landing gear and fueling boom have default USAF textures. There's nothing I can do about this, as they don't have hidden selections. You learn to live with it.

Future Plans
- Estovakian, FEAF and ISAF C-17s
- ISAF, Ustio, and Osean Air National Guard KC-135s

Credits
- The USAF team for the original assets
- Rocketman_02 for assistance in fixing the two-tone C-17's undercarriage
- _BillyTheKid_ for KC-135 designs
- AWACS_Bandog for OANG stuff
- TheMrSir46 for Emmerian tailcodes

@IrishAviator I had a go at the RHS Tu-95, since it's one of the only bombers out there, but the base texture has no hidden selections - meaning outside of the emblems there's nothing I can change. That's about it for the moment.

Yeah I'm not familiar at all with retexturing at all so I couldn't really speak for that so the technical stuff on that end is best left to the folks with experience haha. Whatever you put out down the road I'm sure will be of pretty great quality. Fighters and ground vehicles are awesome, but civilian assets and the heavy birds like the 17 and 135 are amazing for immersion. Absolutely solid work on them! Any plans to add textures to any bombers?

@IrishAviator Depends on asset quality and how easy they are to retexture - I can't speak for the JASDF stuff, though I've had a look at the civvie stuff. While I'm like...90% sure they're rips, I'll say the A320 and 777 would be easiest to work with given there's templates available. While I don't have concrete plans for the moment, I've got some civilian livery reference in a to-do folder at some point.

Hey there! Question for you. Would you consider doing any Ace Combat AWACS and/or civilian aircraft? There's a JASDF mod with a pretty awesome E-767, KC-767 and a civilian 767 in there somewhere. Also, I've come across a pretty darn good Boeing 737-200 and 757-200, and Airbus A320

@Grand Knight Not much I can do about that - values are USAF's

They seem very fragile. Can't land the C-17. I go in smooth but it always blows up. Not sure if the rest are like this bc i only tried the C-17

Oh thats awesome! well if they are ever released I look forward to it but I am happy with what is here
Mr. Distortion  [author] 18 Sep, 2024 @ 9:40pm 
@Sierra182 I'm working on some C-130s off and on - no long-term plans for an Emmerian faction or anything, but further down the line I *might* make some generic skins for some of Firewill's jets.
