After uploading the S-32 video I wanted to check if it was possible to replace all of the ally/enemy NPC low-poly aircraft models with higher-poly ones and after three afternoons of work was able to do it. Since Mayhem is a purely dogfight mission this was a perfect opportunity to test if the game accepts the modfied planes and also to see how the game does framerate-wise when there are many "heavy" (performance-wise) objects flying around. Luckily everything went better than expected.

This mod basically replaces (at least for this mission) the "low quality" planes used by NPCs (minus the player's wingman) with slighty better looking ones. The "slighty better looking" models also have some effects such as the search lights enabled and can create wind trails from their wingtips when they move around. While this mod might seem pointless, as the player is not required to get THAT close to the enemy plane, enough to appreciate the changes, I think it shines when the player is far away from the action area.

If the quality of the video was good enough, you'll see at some parts of the video when I'm far from the furball that there are small dots moving around. These dots are the NPC aircraft's search lights and they shine when the player moves away from them, and added with the wind trails created by their movement and the smoke trails created by the missiles they fire, it makes the sky look "busy" and it gives scene a proper sense of "scale" (hopefully you understand what I mean with that. Goddamn, I hate being an ESL).

So yeah. No special squadrons this time. I had planned Galm to face the Scarface gang but I still have no idea about how to add different planes for each enemy squadron and couldn't find a decent Phoenix livery for the Su-37 either.
Also my piloting skills get sloppy during the second phase of the mission making the battle drag out for longer so I really apologize for that.
