Some of you know that from time to time I like to write short action packed sci fi stories. I have a sci fi craft that I'm working on called the XC-171 Atlas the little brother of the very reliable XC-86 Raider basically the same except the 86 has more armor... its more reliable in battle but it moves like shit compared to the Atlas which can transition from space to atmosphere more smoothly. These aircraft are just me taking some things and putting them together ... They can transport supplies and troops to battle line and then protect them by "becoming" an AC-130 (by turning their energy weapon arrays they use in celestial combat from forward to port) they can also be equipped to act like a B-1 bomber if need be to drop conventional gravity bombs or guided bombs and they are their own AWACS because of the electronic suites they have which aid them in celestial combat. In space they can transport troops and supplies, boarding parties, and short range torpedoes which can destroy cruisers. The air crew for now is two people not sure if I should make it four or leave it at two because everything is computerized. I have the co pilot doing all of the shooting. I want to give these craft VTOL abilities and hung up on whether the co pilot should hit a button, turn a knob, flip a switch, or move a lever. I’m thinking a button that can auto assist the pilot with the transition from forward to vertical flight. … maybe hit a button and punch in desired altitude for the transition to level flight. Hit button 50ft AGL and the pilot does his thing and when altitude is reached they move forward. I look forward to and welcome your thoughts on this.

Whether boxers or briefs they're made of a special materail that can better hold those brass balls he got.

That's a good question too...I wonder how many free beers he got...

Oh I needed that laugh thank you.

Questions sent .... And now we wait. Patiently... Very Patiently.... I'll be checking my inbox frequently and will let you know the moment General Yeager has answered our questions. Thank you for your patience. While we wait patiently.

Okay we have enough questions to send to General Yeager. Thank you all for taking the time to provide us with a list of some really well thought out questions. Russouk, Teargashorse, Stratos, Raven, Ghostrider, Slartibartfast, Flightsimtest, Macelena Could you gentlemen please PM me your real first name ... just your legal first name please to help us keep things professional. Once again please PM me only your first real name. When we edit the Q&A we'll be more than happy to use your screen name if you want us to do so. Thank you.

Would this work? Based on your personal experience, what steps do you think should be taken for air combat in the future, should we go with drones or humans?

How about ... What motivated you to do the many things you've accomplished? and or What are somethings you believe that make the F-20 a good airplane and why? Would either these work better for you? Good question ... Would this work? Do you still believe that the Indian Hunter Pilot during the 1971 Indo-Pak war accurately identified, despite flying low, fast, and avoiding AAA,intentionally engaged and destroyed your Beechcraft along with the UNs plane?

If you could ask General Chuck Yeager one question what would you ask him? I'm only asking because General Yeager may have some time to answer your one question. You read that right ... CombatACE News Team has made contact with General Yeager and he's interested in a Q&A with us. I'm sending the general a short list of ten of your questions. That is all thank you for your time. Here's my question: What is your idea of the perfect aircraft? That's all I could think of.

Thank you all for your kind words and thoughts. Here's a photo as it was going past my town. This dealership is a just a few blocks away from my house ... keep in mind that this sucker is outside of my town by ten to fifteen minutes down the road.

Tornado touched down in my area last night stayed on ground for 2 hours killed 16 and I missed it by 15 minutes

Deleted. I'll move my comment over to the arena ... just in case.

Well said Jedi

If you're talking about the self shadowing mod then your answer is oh yes it works... the proof is in the this video too http://combatace.com/topic/82415-woff-wins-ca-awards/

Welcome Back Viggen! Thank you for your service.

You and me both brother (whew glad I wasn't the only one) ... it was a nice plane though... that's about the only plus to that movie was the plane.

Is there a word nicer than nice to describe how nice that is looking?

Interesting ... why would they do that I wonder?

Not a bad idea. We'll look into it. However neat fonts like that can be read by some but not by all which is why we use a standard font.

Ambient Music... had not idea it's a big business. Skip to 11:06 to hear it.

I think there is some ini editing involved I'll have to hunt it down later. You're supposed to type REARM= ATL+W somewhere in the ini and it will reload all of your weapons but not refuel. So its possible to do I just have to go hunt down that thread.

You know me and finding weird photos and stuff .... planes and chicks ain't a bad combo... have a good one.

Give me a second. Try this mod Pucara Sounds http://combatace.com/files/file/12664-pucara-sounds/ you're going to have to a little tweaking to your file. Instalation: Unzip the PucaraSound.7z file into a temporary folder, cut the Pucara.WAV file and move it into SOUND folder of your sim. Then, open IA-58a-Pucara_DATA.INI file and change the sound parameters: [sound] EngineSoundName=Pucara <--- Change this line. FlapsSoundName=Flaps GearsSound=Gear Save and close, that's it! I'm not sure how well you are at modding your game would you like a brief tutorial or do you have it covered?
