Hauksbee 103 Posted March 18, 2012 Anybody else get these great gurning faces in the sky ? And...will they be there in P4 They will be much worse in P4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeDixonUK 5 Posted March 18, 2012 Well Lieutenant, I hear you've been seeing faces in the sky, most interesting. Frankly I don't care if you've seen the Kaiser himself looking down at you - you aren't getting out of the Balloon attack job that easily - 05:00 on the dot!

RamblingSid 3 Posted March 18, 2012 Thank you, gentlemen, for your kind and helpful comments. I have assured the doctors and orderlies here that, so long as the jacket is securely fastened, OFF is a proven therapy when combined with my extra-mural medication regime . So far, so good. Barmy Officers Club ? Well thanks very much. Does it hurt ? Isn't there somthing more humane than a club ? Bar Steward. No, I mean really - drinks all round.

Olham 164 Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) Sid, you wouldn't believe it - today I have seen the same Ernie-type cloud face as you had. Could it be, that we were flying on the same day, in the same region? No, it can't be - you were at the north sea in winter, and I'm near Verdun, in spring. See here - above my tailplane: Edited March 20, 2012 by Olham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RamblingSid 3 Posted March 20, 2012 Oh dear, Olham, I feel I must apologise, once you have noticed them they do appear fairly often. But they are not in every mission on every cloudy day. They don't bother me, just an amusing part of OFF world. Actually, in your screenshot there are 4 Ernies 1. The one you mention, above the tailplane 2. One further left just below line of tailplane 3. On the right, level with nose, in from rmargin 4. Near 3, slighly below. Closer to nose. A lovely illustration of my point, thanks Hey, does this mean I'm not barmy ? Well, bugger - I wanted the badge. And +1 on "Ernie". Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Thanks for spoiling OFF for us, Sid, now we'll never be able to look at the OFF sky, without seeing muppet faces in the clouds, that we would never have looked for or seen before. Like Tolstoy being told good things would happen if he stood in a corner and thought of anything, except a small while bear. No prizes for guessing how that ended up. Can the mods please delete this thread, before Sid, encouraged by the spread of this phenomenon, also reveals he can make out the figure of Kylie Minogue lurking in the shadows of OFF's hangars, or masonic symbols in the patterns of tents, etc etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dej 17 Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) ... or masonic symbols in the patterns of tents, etc etc Errr... well that one's not news, I've been playing OFF with one trouser leg rolled up, this past year, just in case. [EDIT] Yeah, and you know OFF2 will have cows, right? That's to attract the alien abductors, that is. And they'll know where you live 'cos Olham's got you all plotted, see!

Herr Prop-Wasche 7 Posted March 20, 2012 Who wil be the first sim pilot to die from colliding with a cow, I wonder? OBD should also sponser a cow-tipping competition when P4 comes out. Cow-tipping is a long and hallowed tradition here in the states. Right Lou? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Polovski 460 Posted March 20, 2012 I think the first post in the thread although a bit of fun needs a spoiler alert on the front! Once you tell people to look for things they will always see them and it could spoil their enjoyment? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or is it Richard the Lionheart, no - Marcel Proust. If I stand on one leg into the wind ( this is where Dej goes wrong) it can look like Tolstoy. Or do I mean Trotsky... How can the presence of Kylie Minogue possibly spoil OFF Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dej 17 Posted March 20, 2012 ... How can the presence of Kylie Minogue possibly spoil OFF ... Indeed, AFC pin-up material. Mind you, so are the sheep (and for we Welshmen too, alledgedly) And I've tried 'standing on one leg into the wind', old chap, but I keep getting me foot caught on the firing lever of the Vickers. Put half a dozen round through the Skipper's tailplanes yesterday... he wasn't happy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RAF_Louvert 101 Posted March 20, 2012 . Alright, that last post from RS seals it. As president of the BOC I'm calling for an official vote from founding members Dej and Olham. All in favour of accepting Rambling Sid into the Barmy OFFers Club, say 'Oy'. OY! . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted March 21, 2012 I think the first post in the thread although a bit of fun needs a spoiler alert on the front! Once you tell people to look for things they will always see them and it could spoil their enjoyment? Not necessary for me, Pol - I fly without TAC and Labels, so I have more important things to watch out for than faces on clouds. Let them look out for Kylie Minogue - until they hear the Rak-ak-ak-ak-ak! of my twin Spandaus behind them. Daydreaming and cloud-watching is not for alert pilots, meine Herren!

Once you tell people to look for things they will always see them and it could spoil their enjoyment? I can but agree, Polovski, it was a light-hearted post but the query was sincere. Thought one of the old hands could clear it up: "clot, its such and such..." sort of thing. Never meant to spoil anything for anyone. If I have, sincere apologies, I can only hope you expunge it from your minds. My experience is that enjoyment/immersion in OFF is undiminished. For me they are a reminder that I am in OFF world and Anything Can Happen. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
