firmek Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 (edited) A Spectrum, I was hoping never to hear that sound again :cry: :D ... Makes you appreciate current PC's ;) "Good" old times when loading a game required a screwdriver. But the spectrum or other old, tape "simulators" might be a good point to investigate. This one is from ZX Spectrum: EDIT: Su-17/22 was also introduced in 1970.

grunf Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 So, to sum it up, it's either Super Galeb or MiG-29. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingKenny04 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Okay so here's a thought, there was a game made for the ZX Spectrum called MiG-29: Soviet Fighter. The last hint mentions the Spectrum console. EDIT: Didn't notice firmek's post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firmek Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 (edited) Why I think a lot of hints are connected with MiG-25 1. "Sorry :(" thread, fasteners and a cowl Might be a smoke cover to look for an old, prop plane. Coincidentally there is a Aeroprakt A-22 Foxbat that I think match this criteria, 2. "Is it a bird? Is it a super bird?" Consider the question markes at the end. They may be playng a role, what would be your first thought when seeing a fox bat: Plus the citation from the "Sorry :(" thread "the normal maps for our new super duper pooper excretionator". That might be the relation to the mess that bats leave in the cave, and the fox bat is really a big one. 3. The box MiG-25 looks like build from the boxes. What I'm not sure about but it might have been one if not the first Russian build aircrafts designed with CAD aplications - thus the 3D box. 4. The airfield photo Mybe we're just over-investigating it. Might be a hit of an old recon photo and MiG-25 had a major use in that role. 5. 1970 MiG-25 was introduced into the service in 1970 6. Video Assuming it's an ZX Spectrum, one of the "simulator" titles had a MiG-25 on the cover. EDIT: I believe they would not make so much fuss without a good reason. It must be at least a plane that is expected by a lot of people. If this would be a trainer, it would be wise not to risk creating too high expectations.

Vampyre Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 The Yugoslavian/Serbian display team is called the Flying Stars. Truly superior pilots are those that use their superior judgment to avoid those situations where they might have to use their superior skills.

Vatikus Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 "On 31 August 1977, "Ye-266M" again flown by Fedotov, set the recognized absolute altitude record for a jet aircraft under its own power. He reached 37,650 metres (123,520 ft) at Podmoskovnoye, USSR in zoom climb (the absolute altitude record is different from the record for sustained altitude in horizontal flight). The aircraft was actually a MiG-25RB re-engined with the powerful R15BF2-300. It had earlier been part of the program to improve the aircraft's top speed that resulted in the MiG-25M prototype" :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum Legacy Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 (edited) New hint That's an epic teaser! Love ZX Spectrum computer...those were the days! (backed a kickstarter of Spectrum Next earlier this year too). Just don't ask me to figure out which aircraft is on the loading splash screen :P (used to print those out with a line printer holding a pen back in the day). Edit: Rudel or someone, please...try to clean the head of your cassette player and try again, it might load the screen properly this time or at at least a bit further! :D Edited December 7, 2017 by Spectrum Legacy Sent from my pComputer using Keyboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exray Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Dang, didn't factor the significance of that. Maybe I spoke too soon. Hmmm... if it's a direct hint to a playable aircraft in one of the games that was available for it, the list is: Avro Lancaster Bell X-1 Boeing AH-64 Apache British Aerospace Sea Harrier Cessna 172 Douglas X-3 Stiletto General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet North American P-51 Mustang Piper PA-28 Cherokee Sopwith Camel SPAD S.XIII Supermarine Spitfire The F-16 and Sea Harrier fit the 1970's bill, since we already have the Spitfire, Eagle and the Hornet is on the way. I can't imagine them making anything else on that list. The SR-71 is a "super bird" and would fit with the reconnaissance photo teaser. It set the record for fastest air-breathing manned aircraft since 1976. So maybe that fits in a way. That would certainly be a shock. No Mig29? i7-4790k @ 4.4GHZ, 32GB G.

exray Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Not that I could find. Unless they're teasing an opponent aircraft from one of the games. Which would be almost impossible to guess. I did also overlook "Ace of Aces" for ZX Spectrum, which features the Mosquito as the players aircraft. Though I don't think that fits any of the teasers, unless the teasers are just meant to troll us. http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0009377 i7-4790k @ 4.4GHZ, 32GB G.

Spectrum Legacy Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Either this is the SR-71, or the hints are to lead in the direction of the SR-71, which leads to the Mig-25. Didn't someone say the Mig-25 was on the box art for one of the ZX Spectrum games? Well, just couple of days I posted this...but despite that I'm spectrum too,I honestly doubt that it's related. SR71 would be a shocker out of nowhere for sure and imo quite unlikely addition. There is Speccy game called Mig Busters, which was mentioned here earlier and it has mig25 on title screen as an enemy. But then again, there is also a game about mig29 and so on. Ahh such a riddle this is! And as always, I suspect we are being masterfully trolled :prop: Bird is the word? Blackbird or Super Blackbird confirmed!
