SimplePlanes: Low-Cost-Livery ACZ Recreation Project


Long story short, I got bored.

Derived from my Part Efficient Aircraft series, I decided I wanted to recreate Ace Combat Zero liveries in as simple of an iteration as possible, so to not take up so much part count.

So far, I've done Galm Team, Grun Team, and Schwarze Team. I do plan to do more in the future, like Gelb's, and Rot's.

I'm also trying to make these as accurate and true to the game as possible, and reflect off what ACZ had in them as a special feature in their Ace teams.
Examples include:

  • Grun Team has significantly increased countermeasures to reflect the fact they can use chaffs in a game where they aren't present;
  • Schwarze Team having a GPU-5/A gun pod, despite having a russian jet, since Schwarze can be seen carrying gun pods (and specifically the GPU-5/A) in their intro;
  • or Gelb Team having a backwards firing missile, which I have yet to make.

Since these guys won't exactly be considered a PEA anymore, I'm debating whether I should change the category to "SimpleLivery", or keep the PEA prefix, and add a "Low-Cost-Livery" (or LCL) as a suffix. Or just keep the PEA prefix as a whole, since it's derived from PEA. What do you think?
