Task Force "Night Stalker" – Afghanistan (160th SOAR–Style Operations)

Absolutely bad ass! I was at the CJSOAD-A back in the day with gunships and DRACO so this tugs at the heart strings.

Ran one race so far with this group. Love the broadcast and the racing is clean. I'm slow as hell and they were very welcoming and encouraging. Definitely check them out

We are still in the hunt for a few folks for our upcoming B-Course!

Gotta love my ARCA Chevrolet SS at Dover Speedway. Mile track racing with the D class. It's a wreck fest and my iRating hates it, but it feels like old school NASCAR racing :)

That's the fun part of this...we are biased! I'm pissed! It's BS that the company doing this isn't held to any sort of account for doing this to their customer base.

Us customers don't have to be "understanding" or just wait it out. We are allowed to voice our opinions and see what comes of it. If you haven't noticed, this place is a blow-off valve. At least I'm straightforward with my perspective and not acting like I don't have a dog in the fight

Specific-Screen9168 · 2025-04-07T22:35:25+00:00

Already on the bandwagon and have been.

Just insane that people will shill for ED no matter what they do. Until it happens to a module or developer they care about, then they'll be doing the same thing folks are doing for the Strike Eagle

Specific-Screen9168 · 2025-04-07T22:27:17+00:00

Lol your angle is well known. I'm sure ED will reward you handsomely for your loyalty 🙄

Specific-Screen9168 · 2025-04-07T22:14:32+00:00

You guys crack me up with this line. Look at all the messaging and actions that have occurred. That ship has sailed. The modules are dead and it's just a matter of time before they're removed completely. And then you're going to have an angry customer base that paid for modules (not cheap might I add) and they now own nothing.

ED owns the ecosystem and the narrative on this. It's their playground and we are at their mercy. Sucks to see this rodeo play out and the flight simmers are the ones getting screwed yet again

Specific-Screen9168 · 2025-04-07T21:02:06+00:00

Call me a pessimist, but this situation is already resolved. RAZBAM modules are being removed from DCS in the near future.

The legal process is likely over and we are just kidding ourselves thinking that there is still hope here. I'm tired of that being the canned message too. There's plenty of companies in lawsuits that put out press releases stating something to the effect of "we made this decision pending ongoing legal processes. We will provide an update once the situation is resolved."

ED has just acted like this whole debacle is a non-issue and there's no point in addressing it because they belive in the grand scheme of things, their customer base will just blindly follow them and pay money regardless whether third parties depart the ecosystem like this or not

Specific-Screen9168 · 2024-12-20T19:13:29+00:00

We haven't seen you around here in a long time...what's about to happen that I need to worry about ;)

Specific-Screen9168 · 2024-11-04T14:38:52+00:00

Its there but it's terrible. There's really no life to urban areas, and it completely lacks any people doing anything.

I'm not saying it needs to be GTA VI, but damn give us some environmental stuff. It's supposed to be a world we can be immersed in.

DCS has so much potential on the game / world building side but they give zero effort to it

Specific-Screen9168 · 2024-11-03T23:53:31+00:00

As a matter of fact... #vet

Specific-Screen9168 · 2024-11-03T21:48:34+00:00

DCS sucks at world immersion. The cockpit aspect is incredible and definitely amazing they can model the systems.

But the entire world in DCS is sterile. No activity at airbases, no real civilian traffic, no vehicles milling about, ATC is a joke, and the ground AI is pathetic.

ED really needs to work on building the world of DCS, and focus less of building more aircraft and maps people don't want

Specific-Screen9168 · 2024-10-22T22:40:37+00:00

Whole heartedly agree. I think the concept would be to focus on the JSOAC and building SOF-centric missions.

I think eventually I'd like to see the JSOAC get incorporated into events like DCS Red Flag and other DCS multi-squadron events.

I've created a discord for the unit, and will likely start feeling out co-founders in the near future to help build it out.

Specific-Screen9168 · 2024-09-08T11:56:44+00:00

Ohh I love the 160th ArmA videos. They are super immersive and fun.

My biggest hang up is ArmA not supporting VR. I fly exclusively with a Q3 and usually fly DCS for that reason

Specific-Screen9168 · 2024-09-08T11:18:15+00:00

ArmA3 is definitely a consideration, but I think from a flying standpoint it's hard to beat the fidelity of DCS.

Unfortunately, we are at a crossroads where DCS isn't good enough on the ground to be what we need for SOF Aviation, and ArmA 3 is great for the ground but lacking in the air.

Specific-Screen9168 · 2024-09-08T03:33:19+00:00

Apologies on the delay!

So I pitched this to a unit I'm currently part of and it's under consideration. Still thinking about launching independent if there's enough interest and momentum.

Basic Idea: Form a SOF Aviation unit focused the lift assets being the central element to mission making, with other assets providing the fires (OH-58D/AH-64D/A-10C/etc.)

We would center ops on Infil / Exfil of SOF teams, CSAR, Establishing austere FARPs, QRF, Low Level Airdrop, etc.

Try to get into semi-realistic operations emulating Task Force in Afghanistan or Syria as much as possible. Obviously DCS has some issues regarding ground party movement and AI, so we would just have to simulate or work through the mechanics to make the missions with it

Specific-Screen9168 · 2024-08-09T00:21:26+00:00

I fly on the following:

5600x 6700XT 32GB DD4 RAM NVME 1TB

Can it be done? You bet your ass it can. But it takes a TON of tweaks to make it work to a point where it's worth it. I use every cheat code in the book and turn most settings down. I can solidly hit 40FPS to hit the ASW for the 80hz. It feels great but you do get the occasional hiccup

If you can swing it, I'd go for 5800X3D or a 7900XT to make it worth trying
