X-49 Night Raven Mod Prototype Test - Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown

Had the pleasure of testing a prototype build for the upcoming X-49 Night Raven mod by kosnag. This aircraft will replace the ADF-11F Raven and will feature custom VFX recreating the aeon particles emitted by the engines in Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere. A green TLS laser is also among the changes. More revisions and modeling on the weapons are needed before the mod can be released.

And the scary part is this plane is beyond possible due to the recent advancement in laser technology. 1MW laser on a plane of this size is very possible now.

[@mill2712]

Also it has the box wing design. It is real and it is theorized to help with aerodynamic flow and efficiency. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYnPZnebiqijepY

[@zafranorbian757]

Pretty shure the night raven has more than 1MW concidering that it couls sink the city of megafloat with 1 shot.

[@falkenlaser]

The ABL (Airborn Laser) carried a 1 MW laser and was only capable of destroying ICBM’s during their boost phase, and had a range of less than 10 miles due to atmospheric inference. So a 1 MW laser isn’t all that powerful as a weapon.

[@tgtterrorizor3407]

The trail it leaves behind reminds me of the GN Particles from Gundam 00.

[@stockehistorica1349]

Makes me wonder if the GN Drives were inspired by the Aeon engines

[@ParadigmTrigger]

Keep it up with these models and we'll have enough for a full Electrosphere remake.

[@andrewrogers3067]

Hope for a Geopelia or an Aurora soon…I feel the X49 is over represented

[@metalgearexcelsus]

XFA-36 bruh

[@LiteBosmark]

I could be wrong, but wouldn't you need to make completely new models for Geopelia and Aurora as opposed to borrowing Infinity models like with Night Raven?

[@pennywise9081]

@@LiteBosmark exactly, only the models of Night Raven and R-101 are available from ACI, models of other AC3 aircrafts are just way too outdated

Ah yes, my Belkan double flying wing. I am now no longer bawling in console plebian, I am now seething. What's next, the Horten 229? (Please actually lol)

[@WEC_Connoiseur]

Holy shit I think my brain just exploded from this model

[@plumdowner1941]

Stuff like this makes me want either more AC games in the same era, or a DLC for 7.

[@binghalim1852]

Ace Combat community never cease to amaze me. Hopefully we get a reskin for the XFA-27 to the XFA-36A End Game

[@JustaDan-su5ox]

We have XFA-36A now (even more, it's not a modelswap, thatta add-on plane)

[@Kiri678]

Hee, this might actually make me wanna play AC7. It would be nice if engine sounds would also be replaced.

[@36MSERIAS]

That particles effect from the six lower engines looks like GN drive from Gundam 00.

[@melothc.3708]

EXTREME HYPE FOR NIGHT RAVEN!!! GAF-1 is WIP, and now THIS!? Now i can REALLY enjoy AC7!

[@supermansdaddy7019]

Wait, someone's working on the GAF? Where!?

[@KnightValfodr]

@@supermansdaddy7019 That would be Megalith. I have screenshots if you scroll further on the community tabs.

[@supermansdaddy7019]

@@KnightValfodr Thank you!

[@korolevcross7458]

That looks incredible. Amazing to see what the Ace Combat community can do. Such a shame I can't play Ace Combat 7 cause I have a trash computer :(

[@jeffboi2668]

This is a very cool mod

[@ezudesu3713]

I have been dreaming of flying this beauty again. Thank you so much for making it a reality.

[@supermansdaddy7019]

YES! My baby boy! I wish Infinity had the Aurora so we could replace the Darkstar with it.

[@justanotherperson7774]

That looks like a starship from star wars. I don't know what the ship was called but it was in one of the same episodes in the cline wars when a jedi general betrayed the clones.

[@ReonLeon]

Those beautiful aeon particles are so mesmerizing!

[@Andrecio64]

looks like Rena had a wild day

[@Flankertime]

Ace Combat 3 Electrosphere Is Epic!

[@Not_Navarro]

Any possibilities to add a "second" TLS type? In this case, it would be the type that fires a short laser blast, but manages to cause a large explosion capable of obliterating everything. Kind of like the cutscene where the X-49 destroys the megafloat. Anyway, can't wait to play with this bad boy and "level the game"

[@MrAlgorithm]

God damn that is one good looking mod. I look forward to trying this out.

[@yusufbaskoro5580]

Honestly I am more amazed with the way you flight inside the tunnel

[@CodyDBuni]

Goddamn you're making me want to replay AC3 (Japanese version) since I've beaten it two months ago. If only there's a mod that allows you to use Dision's UI-4054 Aurora so we can use it against Z.O.E like if tables have turned in AC3's final mission of UPEO > General Resources > Ouroboros route.

[@dontaskdontjudge]

I glanced at the thumbnail before watching the video and I thought I saw a mini spiritus from joint assault.

[@TheTemplar127]

This is awesome! And here I am still waiting for ace combat 3 remake

[@falken3413]

I’d like to know how about the HUD? Will it be like the original as well? This looks really good

[@JustaDan-su5ox]

I guess there will be vanilla HUD

[@KnightValfodr]

As per kosnag's words, it might be possible, but that'd require learning on how to work with widgets.

[@lastone9739]

Is this a dream?😍😍

[@JustaDan-su5ox]

This dream will become real

[@mobiuszero1018]

No matter how you slice it,this plane just gives me the creeps.. This thing literally looks like a reverse-engineered UFO.

[@just_violet]

Now we must replace Húxiān with Rena

[@flarerik]

Was the model for this extracted from Infinity? Or was it made from scratch?

[@KnightValfodr]

Extracted from Infinity, much like the Fenrir, ADLER, Varcolac and Delphinus.

[@Rell2601]

I would kill to see Neucom’s Delphinus line in AC7

[@WEC_Connoiseur]

Istg, we need more Night Ravens, and the UI-4054 Aurora to replace the Darkstar

[@tofucanmakeyourgaysonpregnant]

0:04 did the wing just went through wall?

[@JustaDan-su5ox]

Yup

[@solderafarao4528]

What is the folder to put the skins in?

[@Coppertiel]

ADF-11F but night mode is on

[@madrazo8567]

So it's a huge plane that can go mach 2

[@masono-tomic235]

We need geopelia after this (Or make it the uav)

[@stackedbasketballhoop]

do X-49 vs Humin and Munin

[@Garuda1_AC6]

I have a serious request. Would it be possible for us to actually do a fan remake of AC3 in UE4 or 5? If yes, when could we start?

[@JustaDan-su5ox]

That shіt is even more serious than changing planes of NPCs in AC7, so it's impossible for now

[@cyruschow7834]

Sir, I have a terrible news. lucas ricciotti’s KZbin channel which do many great ace combat fan music get hack. The channel is showing weird Tesla stream. Unless it is a stupid event or he got mind control, I don’t believe he would use a Tesla logo as channel icon. Sorry for a comment unrelated to your video but I found this is the most viewed new ace combat video by one of the great member of the ace combat community and the very few active ace combat channel. Thank you.

Cockpit, Mobility, Gear animations any workouts?

yes, from inifity with upscaled by AI weathering mask, pbr and normal map, with new VFX, and with two new paint jobs. and animated

@@JustaDan-su5ox An HD model of it doesn't exist as it was only featured in ace combat 3. But people have already created it in other games so why does that matter?

[@JustaDan-su5ox]

Never thought I would say this, but your wish of playable XFA-36A has been fulfilled Mod was released around one hour ago, go check it

[@StarFyodperor]

Can we have it without those particles... They show up only when you enter electrosphere soooo... No real need for those... :D

[@Disionable]

I think you're wrong there bud. The particles do only show up on planes in the electrosphere in western releases. The Night Raven and afaik the Geopelia are powered by Aeon Generators which also display those particles when outside the electrosphere but only in the Japanese version :)

[@WarhammerWings]

Is there any way you can get these mods to Project Aces for them to be made into DLC for us on console??

[@buhbeetus6476]

Now if we could get the UI4054, and the delphinus 3

[@manuelvillalobos3678]

I would like those mods were official DLC, I would buy them all.
