I thought that IS the sound barrier. I seem to remember that's what would cause all of the X series pilots to crash; they couldn't cross the barrier fast enough and it would force the wings to lose lift...?

But yeah, that's so kick ass.

no he's right on the edge...if he was past it there would be a HUGE sonic boom, and he would be in a heap of shit for doing it...

some people made a few mods for flashpoint that have a really good simulated supersonic effect. First time I did it I had my speakers cranked and wasn't expecting it... I about jumped out of my chair! The same mod also had a nuke which was pretty sweet too.
