ADFX-10F - Cobalt -

Here's a cool, fresh-from-the-factory ADFX-10F Prototype Raven (or merely an ADF-11F vismod, depending on how lore-committed you are) with a cobalt blue paintjob and FALKEN/Morgan-like underside. Forgiving the weak, nerfed-down TLS (back in AC5 and ACZ the TLS was a game-changing beast, but nowadays, is but a shadow of its former self), I always thought the ADF-11F was a slick-looking plane. However, I heavily disliked how the cameras looked in this aircraft. I don't know why, but for me, they looked okay on the FALKEN (which is still futuristic, but was designed in, like, the late 1990s for AC2, and so it's design is showing its age in my humble opinion) but super out of place in the Raven, which is meant to be this super-UCAV from the future. So I tried to look for a mod to convert it into the ADFX-10F with an original paintjob. But for some reason which is not entirely clear to me, the Codename: Vanilla team deleted their ADFX-10F templates and all the references to them from the face of the internet, leaving behind a blurry trail of cookie crumbs that led me into a rabbit hole of old Reddit posts and obscure places. And so, with what few resources I could get (namely, the MREC, which I found after, like, scouting the deepest of Ace Combat forums online for days), and some inspiration from other ADF-11F skins, I finally could get something to work. And this is it.

Why cobalt blue (#0047AB)? Because it looks nice. More out of a post-war airshow in Selatapura than from the 444th Air Base, but you get the point.

To install, simply install automatically via Vortex, or manually by dragging the . 7z file into the installer and there you have it.
