This mod provides Naruto 607's addon conversion of Growler/witcher1999207's MQ-99 mod and his SK(V)2/C-8 variant of it with animated models, landing gears, and internal weapons bay. The mod also gives the drone reworked VFXs, gun sound, and HUD icons, along with new blueprint pawns to accommodate the models' animations and modified stats that allows them to turn in the runway. The MQ-99 is a pretty small drone, so it may be out of frame in certain cutscenes or replay camera angles.
Also, several liberties were taken on certain details in building the models, so this mod may not look realistic or plausible design-wise.
You need to download the Playable Drones Addon mod first to use this mod.
============================
Since this mod gives a clearer sense of scale to the MQ-99's internal weapon bay, I decided to change the special weapons' properties to suit my iteration of the drone's model better. These changes are as following:
MQ-99 Special Weapons Changes
MQ-99SK(V)2/C-8 Special Weapons Changes
============================
Included with this mod are alternate engine VFX, readjustment patches to use M4rk0z's Land Anywhere Mod with this drone, and optional custom skins as listed below:
Refer to the readme files in the Optional Files folder for further information.
Let me if you find any bugs or issues with the mod, and please provide a clear detail on how the issue occurs.

Since this mod gives a clearer sense of scale to the MQ-99's internal weapon bay, I decided to change the special weapons' properties to suit my iteration of the drone's model better. These changes are as following:
MQ-99 Special Weapons Changes
- MSL : Changed the model to the MICA IR. Now mounted on 2 hardpoints and deals standard missile damage.
- XSDB: Now mounted to only 2 hardpoints, but has faster reload time and higher performance to compensate.
MQ-99SK(V)2/C-8 Special Weapons Changes
- MSTM: Changed the model to SASM's (AIM-132). Mounted on 2 hardpoints and has standard MSTM damage in addition to SASM's area-of-effect radius, but now its multi-lock capability is removed.
- MGP : Now uses a modified model of Megalith's ADA-01A gun pod model, and behaves like my Playable F-104C -Avril- mod's custom MGP. Keep in mind that you'll need to aim more precisely as it lacks Raycast data.
