RMQ-4F Scope Hawk - Aircraft Addon

This mod adds a fictional combat-capable variant of the RQ-4 Global Hawk into Ace Combat 7's aircraft roster.

It has an average HP and armor, as well as a relatively low maneuverability. However, it has a good stability and it is able to fly to higher altitudes that other aircraft usually stalls. Additionally, it can process IFF identification of unknown targets at farther distances and faster speeds.

As you should notice, this drone has a very long wingspan, but the model's physics has been readjusted so that the game only register the wings' collision length to only reach the standard missile pylons. Still, be mindful when flying through narrow passages.

There is an optional file included with the mod that restores the drone's hitbox and collision sizes. Unfortunately, using the file means certain actions, such as flying through the tunnels in Missions 6 and 20, will be impossible as the craft's wingspan is simply too wide to even enter them; the latter particularly renders the mission unfinishable.
