Well... change date on your PC to December 24 and fly over Everon. You can't miss them. There is plenty of them

[supergruntsb78 67]

Hmm I don't know about any of the easter eggs mentioned in the first post.Care to elaborate?

[redface 1]

indeed we need a proper list of what & where

artillery = "two decorative-only cannons at coordinates HE77 and HE76 on Everon" (the OFP FAQ)

it's a nice spot to stage a battle BTW

we also need a list of custom easter eggs:

who remembers grid location for the skull on Reworked CAT Afghanistan?

I tried some constellations too but nothing went clearer.

Try watching from the center throughout the ring over the outer standing higher rock... You will see the horizon on south east. Perhaps you can see something at any time?

I also tried some with the moon because I thought it could stand there much easier then the sun but didn't match which time...

btw I took a nice pic of that place

Well, showed the OFP nightsky to my mate, he's a bit better "star-spotter" than I am. The island was FDF East Border. Well, we did find few familiar groups. Very impressive work, BIS!

Also the "nightless night" effect appears, as it's sunrise/sunset at around 2 am in late mid-June.

I can remember that mission where you are taken prisoner and took to a prison camp and you don't have compass or anything. You have to navigate by the stars.................I couldn't be arsed and was looking for different constellations. Saw alot.

I've seen quite alot of easter eggs and hidden things in OFP, albeit with help from Avon FAQ and other sources.

didnt anyone notice that if you drive from a cliff with a jeep and it doesnt hit any objects it wont chrash. really strange... I drive of the big mountain on skye island a few times and my jeep didnt crash at all

[Heatseeker 0]

Kolgujev location DH55, what the hell happened there? It stretches out towards the sea .

in the mission editor make a trigger that will setpos you to +1000 height and drive into it

Actually, it's quite interesting, it looks like a meteor impact (or something of the like).

Impact

And you can also see the 'trail' leading up to it on the map.

[cozza 24]

volcano maybe. and old one I made this really cool race down that hill. Surrounded by wire fences it was really fast and dangerous

[Mr_Tea 0]

Looks lika a landslide to me.

[Heatseeker 0]

Volcanic eruption imo, there is a crater surrounded with dead trees, then its textures and dead flora stretch down hill towards the sea, it looks very cool.

I wonder why people never talked about it much, i find it more interesting than Lenin's picture inside the crapper .

edit:

Is shows better when you enable textures inside the editor .

[Eda Mrcoch 0]

Kolgujev is based on Tenerife, so it has to be of volcanic origin.

[Sniperwolf572 758]

I tought it was napalm.

My advice for you eastern egg hunters is to never go to the monoliths at night! I have heard that there is one full moon night once a year where the Maldenisians gather there to offer a human sacrifice to the devil...

A beautyfull, peacefull place to watch the sun go down it is but after dark you better stay well away from it .

*gulp!* .

That's great.

Say... I just got a great idea for a mission using those monoliths, some zombies, Conspiracies, and a day old piece of cheese...

Guys I think you've discovered something big.

I believe it's called a mountain.

[Messiah 2]

i belive you've discovered whit... oh... wait... bad whit (hey, two of us can do it)

he's talking about the crater and 'lava' flow (or whatever it is ) that runs down to sea - not the bug mountain
