crazysundog Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 i noticed the same thing watching a track of a pair of kiowa's... they swivel their heads around looking!
d0ppler Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 that's just cute! Does the Su-25 looks as good as it does in FC?, Haven't seen it close up yet in DCS. A-10C, AV-8B, Ka-50, F-14B, F-16C, F-5E, F/A-18C, L-39, Mi-8, MiG-21, MiG-29, SA34, Spitfire, Su-27, Su-33, UH-1H

Reticuli Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 I always wanted to nod my head up and down to people in multiplayer when wearing my eMagin Z800 HMD in flaming cliffs. Couldn't do it. I could turn it back and forth in a "no", though.

That may be a very cool detail but I don't see how it really qualifies as an Easter egg. -- CoolHand
CAT_101st Posted January 2, 2009 Author Posted January 2, 2009 I came from F4 not F4AF. I have ben out of the sims for 5 years or more. So to me it was a easter egg. dosn't have to be to you. :thumbup: Home built PC Win 10 Pro 64bit, MB ASUS Z170 WS, 6700K, EVGA 1080Ti Hybrid, 32GB DDR4 3200, Thermaltake 120x360 RAD, Custom built A-10C sim pit, TM WARTHOG HOTAS, Cougar MFD's, 3D printed UFC and Saitek rudders.

Coolhnd1 Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Yes, I'm an old F4 and F4AF driver. In fact I doubt there's ever been a flight sim for the PC that I haven't flown. I guess when I think of easter eggs I think in terms of something that one of the programmers has added to the application that only occurs under a very specific set of circumstances. For instance seeing a sign in a game that says Merry Christmas if you happen to be playing the game on Christmas day or I seem to recall in the old game Combat Flight Simulator 2 there was some special key combination that could turn your plane into a flying pig. -- CoolHand
miguez Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 I think what Cool Hand meant is that Easter Eggs are surprises the developers add in to poke a little fun and/or surprise to users. It could be an out-of-place, unexpected object, for example. To me, pilots moving their heads is absolutely awesome, but more a feature than an easter egg.
fox_111 Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 In Falcon4 AF, some sings on building read "All your base are belong to us" wich is a nice easter egg relating to the baldy translated japanese game that got made into a nice parody video and many many photoshopped pictures. That's what I call an easter egg and I'd like to see some in DCS:BS.
Weta43 Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Somewhere between an easter egg & an advert is - if you hit the test button on the HUD it comes up with "Eagle Dynamics" ... Cheers.
Woodstock Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) Somewhere between an easter egg & an advert is - if you hit the test button on the HUD it comes up with "Eagle Dynamics" ... Nice thing about this is that you can edit the HUD Test text to read whatever you want, maybe something like "YOU SUCK AT FLYING ME". Just edit \Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\Scripts\Aircrafts\Ka-50\Cockpit\HUD\HUD_test_page.lua and keep your text in upper case letters. BTW, I´ve found another easter egg: there´s a secret stealth mode where you can reduce your Radar Cross Section. By hitting LCtl-E at least ten times you can hide all your rotor blades from enemy radar and shortly thereafter you will disappear completely from their screens. Then you can continue sneaking in low and slow... :thumbup: Edited January 2, 2009 by Woodstock "For aviators like us, the sky is not the limit - it's our home!"
JaNk0 Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Hey, post more easter egg? Would be cool to see how many we can spot! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Cyb0rg Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 I’d rather prefer to see new features implemented than easter eggs. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Asteroids ____________________________________________ Update this :D
Airway Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Did you see new features on Windows XP after release? :D
JaNk0 Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Haha sorry, what I ment was new features implemented. I referred to them as easter eggs. My bad! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

crazysundog Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 A hidden secret the developers put into games/movies... secret items, levels or maps, etc... Like eggs at an Easter Egg Hunt for children!!

d0ppler Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 speaking of easter eggs, I recall a version of MS Excel (i think 97) where you could get a simple, yet fully working flight simulator if you did some certain strange things in sequence.
