DESCRIPTION

The mod is a frame modification of the F-15 S/MTD, making it as accurate to the real life variant. it also contains a different weaponry and behavior as well.

The content goes as follows:

F-15 ACTIVE

An experimental aircraft designed for improved maneuverability and short-distance landing while maintaining the excellent battle capabilities of the original F-15. It was part of the S/MTD (Short Takeoff and Landing/Maneuver Technology Demonstrator) program as a research tesbed, and later it would be used in the ACTIVE (Advanced Control Technology for Integrated Vehicles) program, on which the 3D thrust vectoring Pitch/Yaw Balance Beam Nozzles were added, along with advanced control-logic programming.

INSTALLATION

• Go to your Ace Combat 7 installation folder. (Usually located in SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\ACECOMBAT7\Game\Content\Paks)
• Create the folder "~mods" inside "\ACE COMBAT 7\Game\Content\Paks"
• Extract the file into the mentioned folder (Or in a subfolder in the same ~mods folder, in case you're using Sincerity's Addon compatibility patches)

FAQ

• "This mod doesn't work/doesn't show up, the names don't appear in the aircraft list. Why?"

Most likely you've put the mod in the wrong directory. Check your Paks directory, make the ~mods folder and extract the file accordingly, make sure to check the tildes as well, which is explained below.

• "This mod has a different ammo count and/or behaves differently and/or has a wrong aircraft name, why?"

The mod might use certain files that conflicts with other mods that also change ammo count and localization texts.
These files are called "Datatable" and "Localization" files accordingly, and in order to give priority to this mod's datatable and/or localization, increase the amount of tildes (~) before the mod name.

Example: ~~~~Modname_P.pak

• "This mod doesn't work with other add-on crafts!!"

Add-on mods use conflictive files, specially called Datatables. Make sure to download Sincerity's compatibility files for it. Also, read This article being posted on there. It'll save you a lot of time on setting up the compatibility.

• "Can I upload your mod somewhere else?"

You can only do that with my consent. Anything else is strictly forbidden.

• "Can I use some of your assets for my mod, please?"

Of course you can, but make sure to give me credit for the assets you're using. You're forbidden to reupload the models, unless they've been massively changed or leads to a completely different product.

• "Can I request you on doing X mod or Y mod?"

Sure, if you pay me money for your request. I recommend you to contact me through Discord: megalith8492 in case you're willing to pay. Prices can be negotiated.

• "Could you please add a compatibility pak for the rest of add-on aircrafts?"

Sorry, but that's up to Sincerity's compatibility files, as he takes care over the patches for aircraft add-ons. In case there's no compatibility yet, I suggest you to BE PATIENT and not put any sort of pressure towards him or myself.

In case you have a question different than the ones shown, or your situation hasn't been solved after trying everything you can, then make sure to send a bug report and explain in detail your situation, and I'll try my best to solve your problem.

Any comments like "Idk it doesn't work correctly" or messages without context will be inmediately closed and ignored.
