Anyone have any ideas what the cryptic code means in the ingame screenshot? :slight_smile:

Given the nature of the real monument imho any attempt to make a game or puzzle of it is at best inappropriate. It does not glorify war rather it commemorates over 230,000 deaths out of 700,000 casualties at the Battle of Verdun in WW1, both sides of the conflict are remembered because in the end war only has losers. Given Asobo is France based I am surprised at this inclusion.

Asobo changed Hebrew into Nordic game runes? Because a lot was drunk?

Chevron 7…locked

Perhaps a font substitution problem?

If i crack the code will this open a secret entrance to the Railroad HQ. I need to talk with Desdemona!

That wouldn’t explain the text. It kind of reminds me of the “lorem ipsum” placeholder text.

These are the basic substance painter alphas.
The texts below are also part of the alpha (“Pressure”, “section”,…)

Wait what?! this is a POI? It doesn’t even have the correct scale. This has to be the worst 3d modelled object in the entire sim to be honest :joy: It’s not even made out of concrete irl. Looks more like limestone or travertin or something similair.

even a 2d billboard with your picture as a texture would look better.

Not trying to be a smartass here, but this is really bad. Why even bother about the writing…

This is just a small part of a larger structure that is very beautifully modelled.

Ah okay. Thought this was it.

Still looks bad though :yum:

It means “lets put some random letters here, nobody will pay atention”

Indeed!

Chevron 8 …will not engage

It takes 2 min to do on photoshop instead of taking the basic assets of substance painter, but it must have been lunch time :joy:

“If you can read this then your sim hasn’t crashed until now”

duck and cover

:wink:

If you are flying that close…then you have bigger problems to deal with than the text :wink:

I like to land near a POI and then tour around using drone camera as if I am walking through it. :grinning:

It would have been better not to write anything then. It’s a bit disrespectful, tbh. I mean, it’s a monument to war casualties.
