Title: Mysterious "G-S" icon.. what is it?!
Post by: Octavius on May 22, 2001, 10:57:00 PM
A week ago I was floating around the MA minding my own business.. I eventually come across an enemy (not sure which country) and I dive down to it attempting to BnZ it and get out.  The wind sheer knocked me around a bit (forgot what alt i was at) and I pull out and look to find where he was.  I get a glimpse of his icon and suddenly, it flashes to a "G-S"!  The icon reading what type of plane actually read "G-S" for a split second.  I tried to get a screen shot of this or film it, but it went away too quick for me to react.

Then, 2 nights ago, I was minding my own business again in a F4U-1C at 18k.  I notice a slightly damaged B17 around 15k or so.  I line up, dive, and crappily ping him.  I pull up, do an immelman, and go for another pass.  This time it was a clean kill.  His wing explodes to a flaming mess and all is good.  As he bailed, I saw the "G-S" icon again!!  I *TRIED* to record it and get a screen shot of this mysterious event.. I wasn't quick enough.

I think the B17 pilot was Ubo.. not totally sure.  But he had said afterwards that I was invisible!  The connects were pretty wonky that night.  Everyone was lagging and bouncing all over hell.  That probably explains my invisibility (or he prolly wasnt paying attention  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)) But it doesn't explain my *second* sighting of the mysterious "G-S" icon.  What is that?!  Anyone else have similar experiences or am I just going insane?  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Uh!?

DB603, please check spelling. I read Rook when it's got to be Knight

That's the reason for them wearing those leathersuits.....Knit sheep not suitable as whool producers. Wear & Tear I guess....   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

 Spelling is OK.ROOKS have VERY close relationship with both their smelly sheep and buttugly women  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)We,the UBER Knights,attract BABES in our tight BLACK leather suits  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

I saw this along time ago, in V1.04, the icon was on the ground though (in a chute maybe?)

Gotta Shoot the chute.
