This requires modifying the game in a way I do not have the skills to do. Perhaps you can ask another modder who knows how to do this. You have my blessing to do so.
Nice mod , I put the .pak file in the (tilde) mod folder but the skin does not appear. Do you have some advice ? I have the deluxe edition with all DLC but no mods for this plane work, all the others do.
OK FOR FUNCTION I HAVE TO PUT THE FILE MOD IN VISMOD SUBFOLDER IN THE MOD FOLDER WERE ALL THE VIS MOD ARE . I HOPE IS HELPFULL FOR SOMEONE --> NO IN THE MOD FOLDER BUT IN THE SUBFOLDER FOR VIS MOD .
The skin is really nice but it causes some problems. It seems it overlaps with other skins especially the triangle shaped things, on other creators skins but even another skin of yours
Seeing this one was based on the Osean Skin, and it makes use of custom normals, the conflict is mainly resulting on those(as 00_N applies to all), it may be a bit of work to setup, but a solution for those is the material instances package that got updated, which got both a version for isolating MREC, but also one for isolating normals, which may be useful.
as rhythus said, the normals for planes are shared from the slot 1 skin, this isn't typically a problem as most of my skins just replace diffuse and MREC
slots 4, 5 and 6 use the same MREC as slot 1, which is why my other skins that replaces MREC do not conflict with other skins in that slot
unfortunately, since skins typically use the same panel lines and details, this means every skin in every slot uses the same Normal as slot 1, as I normally don't replace the Normal file used for 3D effects
this may be fixed later but this is just a current limitation of the skin caused by certain slots sharing the same files
okay, so while figuring out instancing, I basically pack mods the old fashioned way which doesn't work with the instancing files. I don't have space on my PC for unreal, and for a hobby I don't really want to install a large piece of software just for this (this may change in the future) as well as learning how to use it.
I've talked with cherry who might be able to create .pak for me that will not interfere with other skins in the meantime, and will move this to bugs once the new file is uploaded
Sorry for late reply, in fact is a bummer considering Nexus didn't notifyed about the replies neither, but glad that Cherry helped at least on those issues, but in short, both on Nexus and Moddb, the Instances now got fixed with some changes, mostly following the new layout Dan made, as 00-02x_MREC/N is the correct way to setup those to avoid conflicts related to some skins :
https://www.nexusmods.com/acecombat7skiesunknown/mods/233?tab=files&file_id=1885 So UE4 isn't such necessary, but if i remember well, you make use of the Mod Tools/Hex method yet, for instances, it wouldn't be such a hazzle, but the issue in fact may come on probably making the assets containers with the specific names. currently the Light Build, is 8GB, but probably it may be still very threatering for your current rig setup, along as Mod Tools got really weird issues yet with MREC handling with the TGA import, so yeah, clearly understand why some advancements didn't come yet on the skin layout. but yeah, i will be double checking what happend with the notifications here, as i felt annoyed that toggling them, Nexus would show ALL the notifications of anything on the website, and it would turn very polluting, but i really sorry about the wait, aside of these, i took a while thanks to rain periods at my region and country, due i recently turn to be overprotective towards my new hardware pieces, since after the last issues from mid month of 2020 that was getting me very stressed by power supply issues...

It's in my top three for CFA-44. :)
Funny thing, the other two I love, you made comments because you liked them too. :)
btw, CherrysDelight is amazing person.
I sent a PM requesting a colorblind mod, as did many people, and it happened. :)
Lastly, talented modders that like helping people have made quality of life go through the roof!
Quite simply one of the best ace combat skins ever created (includes the game team itself)
The modding craze has struck again.
A huge thank you for the work on this skin.
No aircraft DLC will ever be able to match it!

i.e night refuelling, night takeoff/landing
