The battle-damaged Lockhart F-38 Reaper touched down on the runway, coasted into the still open hangar, and slowed to a stop. The pilot shut down the starboard engine and flipped the canopy open, but did not climb out. Sweat was running down his forehead and his heart was still racing, but he was sa...

Viper squeezed off a few rounds that bounced off the rear armor plating of the F-38?s cockpit. The pilot of the Reaper held the controls steady, and watched as the ice at the edges of the water began to close back together. Under ideal circumstances, he would have side-slipped the plane to avoid mos...

His view flashed between bright blue and a brilliant white, than abruptly changed to white alternating with gray as the aircraft fell through the cloud layer. He firewalled the throttles, and fought hard with the yoke and rudder to pull out of the death spiral. The spin began to slowly stabilize, an...

Redline Fox and I have finally finished putting together the Special Edition version of Kids 'N' Vigs, and it is now available. The story itself is now in an easy-to-read widescreen document file (.doc), so you get to see it exactly as we wrote it. Also included are a whole bunch of extra features, ...

My apologies for the slow updates to anyone reading this -- I haven't had much time the past week or two to write the rest, but I will try to get back to it later this week.

In his rush to escape the attackers, he had forgotten that he wasn?t wearing his G-suit. When the F-38 Reaper pulled out of the steep dive, the extreme G-force caused the blood to rush from his head resulting in a blackout. For nearly 30 seconds the Reaper rocketed skyward completely uncontrolled, a...

The Reaper lifted gracefully off the tarmac and climbed into the overcast sky as the pilot looked back between the twin tails to get a clear view of his pursuers. The Messernacht was already in the air and in hot pursuit, while the slower Pitfighter and Osaka lagged behind. As he climbed above 4,000...

"Fight or Flight"

Here's a short story I started writing shortly after we finished up Kids 'N' Vigs. It has a small tie-in to that story, but this one goes off in a slightly different direction (literally) than normal Interstate fiction... The near silence in the hangar was broken by the sound of several piston engi...

Toned down? Bah.


The FCC can't get you here, so you shouldn't have to tone anything down!

It's a good start, but is too early to really critique properly. Don't worry about screwing up any geographical information - RLF and I didn't know much about any of the actual locations we wrote about in Kid's 'N' Vigs either :) For formatting purposes, It seems to work best to add a blank line bet...

Thanks AE!

It's about time someone posted some "negative" feedback. When all the posts focus on what people liked, it's difficult to know what needs to be improved. We did run into quite a few continuity hurdles along the way, and did occasionally have to go out of our way to get things to fit right....

Are you using a router of some sort?

If yes, try bypassing it or disabling it when trying to play Nitro.


If that doesn't work or isn't an option, post up some more info about your system and network settings, and someone else might be able to help you out.

Story Time: "High Stakes"

The original joint story originally from the GUNfighters forum is now available as a single, easy to read document file. The original title of the thread was "Story Time!", but it has since been given a more fitting title, " High Stakes ". It has been cleaned up to fix most of th...

As you could see, he was pretty upset about being "impostered" for all those years... :)
