This mod is also known as "Sorcerer Remaster" in Nexus. It goes on a long way to get this mod into fruition because I literally don't have any idea to add to my Trigger to Boruto mod as of now, apart from making skin mods, ofc.
This goes back on few years ago, where SkylineGTRFreak, a modder and a guy Ik since GTA IV days, made a F-15 S/MTD modelswap mod for F-15J, but removed as of now in place of F-15 S/MTD DLC set. He made a blank Sorcerer skin for Special (skin 3) slot intended for that modelswap mod. By the time the DLC was out, I think the Sorcerer skin is fine... but... as the time goes on, I feel like there's something missing out or just... don't look right.
Ik some of you might be asking, "so the Sorcerer skin in the DLC is wrong?" Let me say this in my humblest opinion. It's not that I hate the effort of Project Aces/Bandai Namco making this skin mod while accounting the AC7's lore, but the point is, I'm remaking this so that I can keep my skills in using CorelDRAW since junior high sharp (learning the tracing of the shape's borders). The remake also account realism to those of the real-life USAF jets (F-15s, in particular). And I have few other reasons behind this mod creation too.
- Sunrest or SolemnOne is known for making the Trigger Campaign Conversion mods on certain planes, using Erusea or Special base skins as a base. He made the S/MTD one but that doesn't include the Sorcerer skin. IMO, that's as simple as me making Trigger to Boruto skin mods, but I can't discredit him for the work he did.
- There's a CFA-44 Strigon skin that provided blank for use as a modder's resource.
- I once tried to make a skin for Skyline's modelswap mod (F-15 S/MTD Modelswap), but either I lost the motivation or don't have time to do so as I have lots of time spent in the college with less time for me to game, do homework, or making something as simple as possible. Also, not gonna lie, I have no idea if I can reuse the skins as a base of making my own TTB mod for said plane, and yet the template is wack and retracing the shape's borders can take half a day to do so if not busy with real-life situation or other things I wanna complete on.
- My motivation on making this strikes after learning from Skyline's S/MTD modelswap skin for Special slot and looked on the original Sorcerer skin very closely. I have my own curiosity to fill as to why the skin's coloring looked bluish purple and black on white instead of pure blue and black on white like Skyline's mod and also from the references in Ace Combat Zero.

Those reasons have made this mod to become a reality. It took me 4 or 5 hours to retrace the shape's borders and 2 or 3 hours in placing the markings, adjusting the formation light's color (thanks to Dantofu's Material Instance Guide), cooking, and packing the assets. I only expect you or the people to credit me properly if this mod resource is used in any of the works you or the people are making (skin mods in particular).
IMO, this is the first time I'm remaking an already-made skin mod from the scratch just by retracing the shape's borders (lines, if I say it the other way).
