I want to see the Flying Dutchman in game!

Have any of you met MacArthur yet...?

I still haven't been to New York to see the Statue of Liberty yet..anyone got SS's. The Ice Shelf is pretty cool. The artic forest...not really a egg, but the ice covered tree's OK. Still haven't found the autumn forest. I assume it's tree's changing colors. Course the Golden Gate Bridge is cool.
Seen the Dolphins once in SH4, but I think it's common in 3.

Hello. About easter eggs, the first time that was playing the SH 4, i was sailing with my Balao class along the surroundings of the Philippines when I found a sign in the radar. On having approached to see what it was, I saw a galleon of the 18th century!! Approaching more I could see to the nose of a transparent blue, with his crew, apparels, cannons... The curious thing is that I have not returned to see nevermore, and it that I have installed the game several times, and I it have finished several times also. Can someone say to me if it has seen it also? Greetings from Zaragoza, Spain.

WELCOME ABOARD!

Yes, that's the Flying Dutchman ghost ship. Many here have seen it and posted screenshots, and it has been discussed since the game was new almost three years ago. It was also mentioned earlier in this thread.

Pretty funny stuff. I got a screen capture of and will post later. The Flying Dutchman live!

Awesome

The old Flying Dutchman

Came across her a few times...even put her in SH3 once

Herr_Pete · 07-09-08, 11:39 AM

i have never really read much or looked into but what is thhis whole Easter Egg thing

Sailor Steve · 07-09-08, 03:57 PM

An easter egg in this context is something placed into the game by its makers that shouldn't be there. In SH3 there was a submarine under construction in the home ports, and underneath it were a couple of equipment crates with the logo of the band U-2 on them. In SH4 there are...well, that's what this thread is about.

You find them in almost every game, and it's a game in itself just to spot them and point them out to other players.

If you have a DVD of Star Wars Episode II (I think it is), when the ships are descending to the planet for the big battle if you freeze-frame it, through the window of one of the ships you can see the pilot is Homer Simpson. That's an easter egg.

FIREWALL · 08-01-08, 10:10 AM

That they didn't put Homer Simpsons name in the crew list of SH4 is unforgivable. :p

:rotfl:
