It has been seen by many. You can not sink it. Even the Japanese have tried. It is not possible.

it did a summersult and i have it in my list of kills.. but it spawned again,, but also left a dead marker in its place.. a blue one.. i just thought it was kewl..

thanks

[russ663]

but def didnt see the men on board.. and my screen shots came up black but i did it on cell phone didnt wanna miss it.. any other lil suprises?

[merc4ulfate]

There are also about two pages or more of thread here at subsim with discussions about her. Sometimes she is so fast you can not get near her but if your course puts you close enough she will slow down. Then you can have a nice quite close encounter and see the people on board. Men, women all moving about the ship.

It has also bee seen on rare occasions around Johnston Island but 99% of the sightings are around the straights of Luzon.

I do not know how you take screen shots put I never use the ingame version. I always use PRINTSCREEN on the key board then paste that into my Editing software.

[russ663]

thats what i did keyboard prtscn and dropped in the crap forgot the box name,, but it came out black.. i caught it doing 23 knots, hit it with 3 torps, it slows down each hit, then i hit it with a missle.. yeah im cheating i have the typhoon :know:

[russ663]

Funny enough Johnston is the only place I see her. Every time I refuel from there she's patrolling the Atoll

[merc4ulfate]

Darn I have been hitting Johnston for months after leaving Pearl and I have not seen her. I'm going to have to look harder.

[russ663]

its at end of war and right in luzon straits.. on 3x missions seen her and on one mission after running the straits and south china sea found her total of 3x.... got some good close up and screen prts but they are black. gonna have to find a editor to view them.. lots of women on that ship :o

[swdw]

Still haven't seen the Dutchman.:arrgh!:
I'm jealous. :03:

If your looking for a great photo editor then I suggest you download and run GIMP.

http://www.gimp.org/

Believe it or not it is free and as about as close to a professional program you'll ever see without spending 600 dollars.

I use it for Editing my photography work. It is a superb program. The Manual is online at the web site.

[russ663]

thank you ill download it once im home.. :sunny:

So last night, I was playing an early war US Sub in early 1942. I was cruising off the northern coast of Luzon when my sonarman reported a contact. I followed it and shortly I saw what looked like a downed airman in the distance trying to signal with emerald smoke. As I sped up and got close enough, there was a glowing 17th century 3 masted ship moving very fast. It even had a ghost crew. All were glowing. Has anyone else run into this awesome easter egg? I will try to post pics

[prozac919]

Here are some screenshots

Another screenshot through the periscope

[prozac919]

Here are the screenshots of the ghost crew

[KaleunMarco]

Here are the screenshots of the ghost crew

it depends on which mod-set one is using.
some mod-sets don't have The Dutchman defined.

[prozac919]

Back to my original question in the title. How many others have encountered this?

Lots of people.

[Onkel Neal]

I'm still looking for it :arrgh!:

[1Patriotofmany]

I saw that once and tried to sink her, no success. I forget where I was, but I did mention I saw that Easter egg on a thread once.

[les green01]

several times even a battle with her cannon against deck gun

[razark]

No one has seen it, because it doesn't really exist. There are a bunch of people making fake screenshots and claiming they've seen it, though.

:har::har::har:

[propbeanie]

Razark, do you still have that "photo" where you did NOT see the Flying Dutchman?... :yeah:

[razark]

Every photo is a photo of not seeing the alleged Dutchman!




No, I don't seem to have it. But I did find this one:

No Dutchman here, either:

Oh wait, I think I found it:

Go to Johnston island west of pearl harbor...It circles the island..

[KaleunMarco]

I'm still looking for it :arrgh!:

it appears in Stock, FOTRSU, RFB, TMO 2.5 but not in RSRD.
so, if you play TMO 2.5 with RSRD you will not see The Dutchman.
:Kaleun_Salute:

[razark]

...if you play TMO 2.5 with RSRD you will not see The Dutchman.
If you play TMO without RSRD, you won't see it either! :up:





(Maybe I've broken something in my install over the years... :06:)
