A pack containing model rips of all playable aircraft from Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies.
Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies - Aircraft model rips
About:
These models were ripped using PCSX2 and more or less "properly scaled and fixed". They are far from being perfect rips, but at least they will give you a better looking guide/reference when creating liveries for AC04. Still, I highly recommend you to inject the GIM files and check your livery in-game to see if there's any misalignment.
The models were exported to OBJ format with a MTL file included.
Notes:
Since the models were ripped while the game was running you'll find some issues when loading them in your 3D modeling software:
-The most glaring issue is that the models don't use the correct scales and look a bit off. They were resized/scaled until they looked "good enough".
-There might be some faces/normals that still need to be flipped over. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU FIND ANY!
-Due to the methods used to rip the models, some of them are slightly deformed.
-UV mapping is also affected. Parts of the aircraft such as the canopy will have incorrect mapping applied. This is caused due to the model deformation issue mentioned above.
-The models only have the pylons/hardpoints for the first/starting SpW. If you notice an untextured hardpoint/pylon in the model when applying your livery during in-game let me know!.
If I ever figure how to get even cleaner model rips or if someone figures how to convert the model format that AC04 uses I will update this package ASAP.
Special Thanks:

This is awesome.
But could you extract the aircrafts with landing gears?
Sorry for the late reply. Probably not but I will be releasing a tutorial about how to rip models while running the game in PCSX2 in the future.
