📋 About This Mod
My Mod works with Pilot Overhaul and MW5 Portrait Overhaul and should have no problems with any other mods as all portraits are set up as templates so they don't override anything and they will be generated by the game to be available to hire or they could turn up in missions as Ai controlled friendlies.
It uses the same portrait style as MW5 Portrait Overhaul which it is able to work with in conjunction to keep the same vibe and presence that 'Merc and Reilly' brought us with their amazing Pilot Portraits.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Extract the Mod into the Mods folder in your game installation.
Open the Mod.json and ensure that Pilot Portrait Overhaul Load order is loading after 330's Pilot Overhaul's.
Launch the game and make sure that both mods are enabled in the MOD MENU.
Restart the game if needed to ensure the mods are active.

I have just gathered them all together and created this mod.
