💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod comes in addon and swap versions, decide which you prefer: addon keeps the original aircraft, swap replaces it — test both to see which fits your playstyle.
- Check the mod's comments or forum threads for user-submitted install guides, as the author didn't provide instructions.
- If you're new to modding Ace Combat 7, back up your original game files before installing any aircraft mod to avoid breaking your game.
