Markindel Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 We are all a little bit right, both to those who liked the joke and to those who did not like the joke. I didn't like it. But I admit that we must not take ourselves too seriously ... we have other and more serious problems, see corona virus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gizzy Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) *** MAJOR BUG - F18C *** VR Reverb F18C Nice one ED.... :thumbup: ED's easter egg seen in VR. Find it yourself else the spoiler... - Each time I drop the wheels the left MFD turns into a slot machine complete with music.... great BUT ITS BUGGED.... I keep getting three in a row but no cash comes out - Honestly ED.... a free module for each complete line should be the minimum.... Boy was my head swivelling at first, where's that music coming from... then saw the MFD WTF then realised the date...

heavyj Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) Case 1 practice had become stale. This has made it all sorts of exciting! I'm not sure if the joke or the "fix" is funnier.

BlueAngel Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 About the April Fools joke At first, it's funny. You operate the gear lever, some slot machine animation shows up on the left MFD, then you get a random failure. A nice joke... once... Did anyone at ED actually thought this is game breaking? I actually stopped flying the Hornet and the Viper until this joke is over. I consider myself a joker, like pranks and all that. But operating the gear and get ejected gets old pretty fast. Thanks for the laugh in the first few minutes. Can you please now deactivate this? Honestly, this is just annoying now.

Tone71 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I despair at those posting that they can't play because of a funny April Fools joke that ED put into their own game! It's one day, it's not going to kill you! I think these people need to step away from their joysticks, look out the window, and consider what are the important things in life. Having said that, ED have posted a workaround, for those that can't cope. Good joke ED, I enjoyed it.

SMH Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 So this is where development effort is going given the current state of the rest of the sim? If everything worked and was complete this might be slightly funny. It's none of those things though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpe_95 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Funny ha ha (especially when ejecting) - but is there a way to turn this off? I am new to F16 and want to practice landings and flying in general - this is prohibitive and I would rather not have to wait until the weekend when I next get to fly (this is wasting what little time i have available these days........).

ThorBrasil Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I found ED's prank very funny. Very creative! Laugh a lot! Now Deka's joke about announcing the C919 I didn't like.
