Arecibo radio telescope Puerto Rico - At N18 21 99 and
W66 48 07 you will find the huge Arecibo radio
telescope.
Epcot centre and Disney world - Near Orlando, Florida,
you can see Epcot center and Disney World. The closest
airport is Epcot.
Hot Air balloons - Hot air balloons in Arizona! Go to
phoenix skyharbour (KPHX) runway 26R, fly heading 330,
14.5 miles, alt 5000. fs2000 has 3 and in fs98 I found
5.
Shuttle at Andrews AFB - There is a shuttle near the
hangars of Andrews AFB. There is another one at the
launch facility in Florida.
1999 Eclipse - Set the date back to august 11, 1999.
And time at 12:20. Then go to north France, Reims for
example...take a look at the sun. Is it there or is
there a sign of the great eclipse of 1999? If you can't
find it (don't expect a full eclipse...) use the
situation file, select it in fs2000 and look upwards
into the sun using shift-backspace.
Did you see Bill Gates house? - Gates' house on Lake
Washington. Not very ornate, but it's there, just on the
the south side of the north bridge.
Berlin wall or not.... - Try this, go to Berlin where
the famous wall use to be. Next, set your date back in
time, before the wall was torn down. Whala! the wall
appears! This is a FS98 easter egg too.
Atlanta Olympics - Go to the stadium in Atlanta where
they had the Olympics. Set your date for the period when
the Olympics were held, July 19, 1996 û August ??, 1996.
You will see the stadium fill with people and the
Olympic torch will light. This is a FS98 easter egg too.
Wright Flyer - Place yourself on December 17th 1903 in
this situation......Ever seen the Wright Flyer at Kitty
Hawk. Berlin, Atlanta and Wright are available as FS2000
situation files.
Hawaii volcano - You can go to Hawaii and set your
date back before the volcano eruption and the eruption
will disappear.
Never descending glider - I guess this is not a easter
egg but a bug. But what does it matter: Slew the glider
up to >80K feet (you can go to 100K in case you're
wondering!). Now, start flying! The tumbling might be
somewhat expected. BUT you will never hit the ground.
You can let it go all night and it will actually gain a
few feet.
US customs balloon - Would a balloon tethered on the
end of a 13,550 cable in the Flordia Keys be considered
an Easter Egg? Goto Summerland Key Cove (ID X20) runway
30. Take off and fly runway heading. Very shortly after
take off you will see a cable extending from the ground
up. On the end of that cable at an altitude of 13,550
feet up is a balloon. Or you can go to N024 41 29.4486
W081 30 51.4133 Alt 13,550 feet, hdg 02 mag. This will
put the balloon directly in front of you. These balloons
are known as aerostats, balloons with radar transmitters
to assist US custom's efforts to stem illegal entry by
air.
