Dunno but HT had an evil looking grin on his face when the subject came up. :)

Then we got into a "remember this" evil con mission session. Good stuff, they've had some real winners.

Pardon a morbidly stupid question, but where does the evil con take place, one of the SEAs?  Or does it happen in the Main?  For some reason I don't think I've ever been around for an evil con mission.

Post by: Dr_Death8 on October 22, 2010, 10:47:50 AM
Think it can happen anywhere but usually in the MAs. Think there was one where the GVs were supped up as well, as there were Shermans moving like a JEEP and firing like AA.

FYI, if you look over your shoulder and see something strange, i.e. Jack-o-Lantern or Biplane with a jet pack or Snoopy chasing you down, you are there.  :rock :pray :salute

This is my first year at Aces High so I knw NOTHING.  Do only convention atendees get the special aircraft?  Is there any type of announcement in the arena beforehand?

Yes, and sort of....... No announcement, but you'll know it on 200.

Best thing to do is locate one of the HTC staff or someone you know who is at the con, switch to the country they are one, and wait for the magic to happen.  At first only people at the con are allowed to fly the plane but after the first hour or so everyone can fly it. You have to figure out which base its allowed from then type in the .plane ## to actually get it.

The special ride is only granted to those folks who attend the Con.  It is never announced.

When I went to the WarBirds con back in 2000, were given Flying Saucers with super-lethal guns that had no ammo limit.  Funny thing was, that Saucer could pull so much G that lots of us blacked out and augured.  :lol

Usually for a sortie or two before the word slips out on how to make it display in the hangar for everyone.

Last year HiTech used Super Fokkers. It was a 2 sector flight to get where they were, til they opened 1 base for each country right near the action. I got like 33 perkies for killin 1 of those sweet lookin triplanes      :devil

Pffft.

That directly clashes with my PSA:
Don't up in the same sector as my jet and expect to live.

it may display, but still cant fly it.

I was able to get the sharks from 2008 to display in hangar, but never did see the superfokker in hangar.. had to look at it up close in film viewer..

I don't know where all of these "usually you get to fly it later" things come from. The only Evil Con Plane I've heard of getting released to the public at any point was the neutered RV-8.

At the WarBirds cons, you needed a thumb drive with a specific file on it to unlock it. Even if it was a token file, distributing it quickly would be a pain before it would get disabled. I would suppose the same goes for AH cons, if not done by checking if the client is behind whatever router the con is using.

Post by: 4deck on October 22, 2010, 07:08:38 PM
 :O Eitherway looking forward to it. I also remember the quote. "Don't expect to land your 262"
So a word to wise, perk planes when this goes down might prove, well expensive.

Grinning from ear to ear though.  :t

I got to fly the superfokker last year. I do think it wasn't intended as it was shut down after about 30 minutes.
Title: Re: Evil Con Mission Saturday?
Post by: Plazus on October 22, 2010, 07:40:59 PM
You guys are silly! It's going to be the B29 with nukes and 50mm cannons with ballistics equivalent to laser beams!!!!!! Not to mention that it'll outclimb a 163, outturn an A6M, and outroll a 190. :devil
Title: Re: Evil Con Mission Saturday?
Post by: The Fugitive on October 22, 2010, 07:45:20 PM
What usually happens is the "Evil Con Mission" will start around 9-10 eastern, its right after one of the con events finishes up. Once it starts only those AT the con get the new toy. In years past it been flying PT boats, the 163 before it came out, sharks with "frikin" lazer beams, the RV8 with a gattlen gun, the super folker with rockets. After about an hour or so HTC lets the word out on what to type to get it and allows everyone a chance to play with it for a bit. Again, after an hour or so it gets turned back off.

as far as I've seen the last 2 years, the con plane is never opened up to non-con-goers. maybe they did that in previous years?

Title: Re: Evil Con Mission Saturday?
Post by: B4Buster on October 23, 2010, 12:41:28 AM
I flew the shark two years ago and didn't attend the con. Maybe I shouldn't have admitted to that.  :bolt:

IIRC, that dot command was easy to guess. I wouldn't try again though, the con planes are for people who made the trip to enjoy.

Same here, but I think everyone should be able to fly it. Even if its only for 20 mins. No reason to punish customers who couldn't travel thousands of miles, and spend hundreds of dollars. Cheers Con Crew :cheers:

There are a few screenies of it. Will have to check my films as I was shot down while flying in it and my chute floated right through it.  :salute

Just checked and it did not show at all on my film. Spent a better part of a minute floating through it in the chute too.  :cheers:
