Fig Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 (edited) Hmmm, On the youtube video of Hint no. 6: Unfortunately, we could not load it properly. All we can say for sure is that text on the tape reads "1977". 1977 hmmmm....... Well, with all the hype, the Foxbat has a special place in my heart and it finally being flyable in DCS would be the greatest event for me haha. On another note, if you look at the video just when it "stops loading", to the left you can see what appears to be a vertical tail slanted to the side (possible 1 out of 2 tails). So I would say it is a mig. Mig-29 perhaps? haha Edited December 8, 2017 by Fig PINOY PRIDE!!!

cthulhu68 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 If Mig 29 is possibility an earlier clue does point in that direction. I think the first thread was "Have you been over the hump?" and had that polygon image that looks kind of like a wing. The Mig29 in-game campaign is called "Over The Hump".

Absha Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I'll say it a third time, but there could be multiple birds. Or we're getting trolled hardcore. With the Super Galeb we had it all until the 5th & 6th hints. Damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackLion213 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 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 Hey guys, it looks like the visible (top)portion of the screen shows a wing: The wingtip is right under the LNS logo, below that it looks like struts. There is no visible tail or fuselage at the level of the wing - so it looks like a biplane. But a biplane from 1977....? :unsure: So an aerobatic plane? That matches one of the recent clues that looks like an aerobatic routine, not to mention "P.S. Do expect surprises". -Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absha Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 There might be multiple planes being teased. Just said that 3 posts over, but why a lone SPAD ? Serbian air force historical pack 1917-2017 confirmed ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kolga Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Its looking like a Mig 29 and an aerobatic piston. the picture of the engine Rudel posted a long time ago was believed to be a zero, which they kinda confirmed later iirc. Super Decathlon? lol -"Super" -Introduced: 1970 -Aerobatic (Box & Sequence hints) -Piston -and it would certainly be a surprise! The tires on Michael Carter's webpage were compatible with a super decathlon so... "Long life It is a waste not to notice that it is not noticed that it is milk in the title."

MiG21bisFishbedL Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 If that is a wing and struts, that looks like it has some size to it in the picture. Something like a Pitts S2B is quite small and wouldn't have that many struts. There was two games that had Sopwith Camels and a Spad on the ZX Spectrum. Blue Max and Chuck Yeager's ATF, respectively. Honestly, that looks like a SPAD S.XIII in that picture. I'm calling it lol. That... couldn't be the variable incidence wing of the Crusader, could it? Reformers hate him!

Christen Eagle II. reddit thread, credit terrificfool & rainbow dash: Hint 0: It has fasteners Hint 1: The Eagle is a bird. some might call it a super bird. There was also a Super Eagle variant Hint 2: I don't think anyone knows what that checkered image is (could it be a wing strut?) Hint 3: The cube is for sport aerobatics which is flown in a 1 km3 cube Hint 4: This is an aerobatics diagram to clarify hint 3 Hint 5: The Christen Eagle II is from the 1970's Hint 6: Rivets match up just right (accounting for curvature, of course).

Yea this wont go over easily.. A lot of hype for a DCS: Non-combat biplane? I mean it makes sense for M3. With the loss of half the team, to produce a cheap module(minimal avionic systems) with easily accessible data. I just dont think the DCS fan base is interested TBH.
