Its quite Official, Pigs do fly!

A friend rang me the other night, told me to enter some co-ordinates into CFS1 and Voila!

Hi Scania. This is an old chestnut Easter Egg. I used to know the co-ords but it was so long ago I've forgotten. The pig is somewhere near Stonehenge if that's any help.

Thanks Doug.  :)

You're welcome. If you find it post shots.

As I recall it's not visible from all angles, or Spot View come to that. Tis a very strange pig.

Google to the rescue.

Easter Egg
The first flying pig. I couldn't identify Miss Piggy. Maybe it's her brother. Go to

N51*, 9.86, W1 *50.63

Funny I should see this question I was just there the other night. Don't know the co-ordinates but I do know it was definetly at Stonehenge.

It's dangling below the flying saucer.
If you want to get rid of it/them....
Go to the cfs/scenery/all/scenery folder and remove the ppp000.bgl.
Or save it somewhere else.

I have a screen shot but i don't know how to"insert image" without a browse button, how do you do that?

Dave. Click the Upload Images link at the top of this page. Follow the instructions & upload your shot. Then read this. http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=screen;action=display;num=1034608200

PS. I just noticed the images in that thread have disappeared. This is a pity. Pete deleted all images over 6 months old from the server recently. If you have problems post again & I'll walk you through it.

Hi Hagar,thanks for the reply. When I click on "insert image", this is what i get   [img]URL[/img]  and no instructions. I haven't a clue how this works

OK. You're almost there. First click the Insert Image icon on the toolbar just above the post window. You now need to add the full path including the exact file name of your image to the path, replacing the letters URL between the 2 sets of brackets. The path is shown on the Upload Images page after you succesfully upload an image. The easist way is to copy/paste it into the thread but use your own image name instead of the example.

The problem is that I can't type the complete thing here or you won't see it. The path to the upload folder without the image name is http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/

Assuming the file name of your shot is dave_pig1.jpg the full path would be http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/dave_pig1.jpg

This goes between the 2 sets of brackets like this.
[img]http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/dave_pig1.jpg[/img ]

Don't leave any spaces in the path or between the brackets. I deliberately included one so it displays here. The file name is case sensitive including the .jpg file extension. If it's .JPG type dave_pig1.JPG

It sounds much more complicated than it actually is.

This is how it should look. The file name of this image is upload1.jpg

Ok I understand now,I think.All I have to do is upload the jpg on the uploads page??Then copy and and paste the page name and add my jpg name on the end.Insert between [img] %20 [/img] . Right?

Still can't see it. You're using the wrong path. Right-click on the red cross & select Properties to find out. This is what yours is
http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb/ %20

The path is wrong & the image has no file extension. Also, the % sign shows there is a space in the path between the image name & the last /
Remember I told you - No spaces.......!

Assuming the image name is 20.jpg this is the correct path. http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/20.jpg

It doesn't look much like a screenshot to me. LOL

PS. 20.jpg is not a particularly inventive choice for an image name. It's best to give it your own unique name before uploading it. Otherwise you might overwrite someone else's image or more likely they will do the same to yours.
