Liveries for SkylineGTRFreak's MQ-9 Reaper Drone.  

For MQ-9 in the ZF1 pack (paint also works for the stand alone MQ-9, https://www.gta5-mods.com/vehicles/mq-9-reaper-uav, but I'm guessing anybody modding paint downloaded the 140 plane compilation, https://www.gta5-mods.com/vehicles/70-fighter-and-sports-planes-add-on

Paint for Canada, France, India, Italy, Japan, NASA, Netherlands, RAF, Spain, USAF and US Marines

Once installed with their instructions, open the dlc.rpf with OpenIV

Follow this path to the file to overwrite:

...GTAV/mods/update/x64/dlcpacks/ZF1/dlc.rpf/x64/levels/gta5/vehicles.rpf/mq9.ytd or
for the standalone MQ-9 ...\GTAV\mods\update\x64\dlcpacks\mq9\dlc.rpf\x64\levels\gta5\vehicles\mq1vehicles.rpf\mq9.ytd

If you wish to retain the original liveries, while in OpenIV, extract the file mq9.ytd.  I typically extract the original .ytd to the same folder as the dlc.rpf and rename it to origmq9.ytd.

Once you've decided on a livery, change the name of the predator.dds file in the .ytd to something like predatororig, then rename the livery file you'd like, predatorCanada, for example, to predator.


...GTAV/mods/update/x64/dlcpacks/ZF1/dlc.rpf/x64/levels/gta5/vehicles.rpf/mq9.ytd 
for the standalone MQ-9 ...\GTAV\mods\update\x64\dlcpacks\mq9\dlc.rpf\x64\levels\gta5\vehicles\mq1vehicles.rpf\mq9.ytd

Just to confirm the livery, I'd click on the mq9.yft or mq9_hi.yft file to open the OpenIV Model Viewer to see what the model will look like with the new livery.

Once satisfied, close the model viewer and run GTAV and spawn mq9 with the trainer of your choice.

I've included my work file(s) in case you'd like to create your own paint.

Enjoy,
Gillman
