JA-39E Gripen -Sakerfalcon-

SOCCER FALCON!!!!!!!!!!

This is a livery I wanted to make for a bit. So, according to the Mission and World View guidebook (page 40) for Ace Combat 3 (JP), Nemo uses the callsign "Hopeful" during their service to General Resource, outright being called the "Promising young pilot, the player aircraft" in the guide. Furthermore, in the intro cutscene of the international release of ACE3, there can be heard a feminine voice who says "This is Hopeful, on final approach." (Youtube link) What an adorable nickname given to an unfeeling AI with no agency of its own. Maybe its 'personality' was trained on our "Hopeful" character to appear more human toward its allies, ATC during landing/takeoff and whatnot.

One thing to mention that I didn't remember until after releasing this mod, Nemo also gets TAC names for the other factions, "Fireman" when they serve Neucom's Emergency Unit, and "SARF-Four" when serving UPEO's SARF. Blame it on sleep deprivation.

Anyway, if you don't care about all that jazz, you can just use the Trigger markings and move on. Be warned though, those skins do not use Additional Skin Slots, and only replace the existing Osea, Mage, Spare, Strider slots. Have fun!

Credits and mentions:

The GRDF markings style is very much inspired by the beautiful SU-57 General Resource livery made by Sleika. It's probably the most iconic General Resource livery that I could think of.

The livery's camouflage is based off of the works of Lanzerince, and his F-16XL Sakerfalcon livery. I adapted the camo by hand, sure, but it absolutely should be mentioned. Go get it if you already aren't using it.

Credits to the Codename Vanilla project for making my life easier, I wouldn't be making these liveries without their templates.

On an unrelated note? I love the Insta Story Duo font. It has a really modern look and somehow expresses a certain optimism to me that other fonts do not. Maybe I'm crazy. I used that font for my General Resource markings, I recommend it for your future projects, too.
