Iran, the only foreign operator of the F-14 and one of the two countries to ever operate the aircraft, and two countries that stand as enemies now. The irony is strong
In this upload, I give you my final attempt at making the best IRIAF F-14A skin for Ace Combat X that I can bring you. The IRIAF F-14A is quite an anomaly, being an American fighter who seems to have just as if not more history with the country that stands as the enemy of the aircraft's country of origin. The Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force operated their handful of F-14As quite generously during the Iran Iraq war and were quite successful with it as well, especially considering they had to operate without any help from outside and with limited resources, and they still do. It's quite ironic how fate can be at times. It is a livery which i hold quite dear and I find quite unique, so I hope it appeals to you dear users too.
This version of the livery comes with full IRIAF numbers and markings, giving it as close of a look to the real desert camo F-14A look as possible, but if you would all like a blank version to use for your lore friendly flights on Ace Combat X, do let me know down in the comments below and I will make sure to upload a blank version as well, and who knows maybe a lore friendly version too. And as you may have noticed, this skin does come with the TF-30 engines of the F-14A for as much immersion as possible.
I did my very best to make the skin as good as possible, taking reference from different pictures, but the skin will have some minor imperfections. I hope it does not bother you too much and if there is need for an update, I will make sure to make one and upload one at once.
Installation is simple. Simply take the PNG file in the ZIP file and place it in:
"ppsspp/memstick/PSP/TEXTURES/ULUS10176/aircraft" directory and boom, you will view the skin in the game. This skin replaces the Aurelian skin of the aircraft.
I hope you enjoy the mod and have fun playing the game using it. Good luck and good hunting!
