Darn.  Marketing pinged back with some suggestions based on Focus Group feedback.

(Didn't finish rendering.  Out of tokens I guess. Maybe I got charged by the pound.  It was worth it. ;))

I remember I was gonna join you guys there and check it out, but then something happened. I may have missed a sale or lost the info or something. I could use a break from making smoking holes in the countryside with the A4E I'm trying to learn.
DM me if you want to stop by. :aok

I didn't think there was more then a handful of people that had left AH3 for DCS. I used to run into AH players quite often when I played IL2. It seems more players would go there then DCS.

This is from our Discord Server not everyone on our discord is actually Damned. The Damned is basically a DCS squad first and AH and IL2 second and third.

This list the games we are into. For ARMA I'd hit up Waystin2 and the Pigs on the Wing.

Show me on the doll where the AI hurt you?
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

OK.  I'll give you that one.

Yes we do.
It requires mods.

Out of curiosity, in DCS, do your guys skew WWII, Jets, or Helo?  Or mostly even interest?

If you guys are into making fancy builds or looking for a more in depth survival experience I highly suggest giving ‘Vintage Story’ a look. I haven’t been able to go back to Minecraft since I checked it out.

Depends on the person, We do all 3, So it's mostly even. I typically do more Helo's and Warbirds than anything else, Sometimes I jump into my Hornet or Falcon. Gray eagle tends towards Warbirds and Cold War. Ren does Jets and Warbirds but rarely flies Helos and such.

We have picked up a lot of new members as of late and most of the new members are into Moderns and Helos however as they rub elbows with the old timers (Like Ren and GE) they tend to pick up at least one warbird and start flying WWII.

Couple weeks ago I believe it was GE took and Humphry took out a Sam Site in Mustangs on our Modern Persian Gulf Server on a dare. (This is typically done by our Helo's)

Right now we are looking at Friday Nights being our Fudge around and find out night, Saturday Modern/Coldwar nights and Sundays are our Warbirds/WWII nights. We used to do Friday Moderns Saturday Warbirds and Sundays our FA&FO nights but it was causing to many conflicts with peoples real world lives.

Some Guys do IL2 and a few are still here in AH.

I was going to do resume FSO but Nef left and the 412th shut down. The Damned does not have enough active AH players to support FSO as it is Drano Folded our old FSO squad into the 412th.

Due to a Death in Family and another Family member fighting Cancer I personally have not been on much, Infact right now I tend to have more free time on the internet when I'm at work.

That's be me.  I wish more people would try helos.  They are a blast.  A totally different way of flying that has a lot in common though with warbirds.  I mean, it is a "prop" driven aircraft in a way. ;)

I think I'd be OK with jets up until fly-by-wire and BVR kills.  That's when you lose me.  So I might could do early CW, Korea, early Vietnam\Arab Israeli Conflict kinda stuff. 

The WWII MP environment is not close to AH, but damn those planes are beautiful and a joy to just go out and fly.

I wish HTC would expand to become a DCS Vendor.  They have all this expertise that just needs a more economically viable platform to fund their team.  I think as long as you don't try and violate the IP, it is a good deal for both parties.  Someone like Heatblur would never make trying to make their own custom game, but they are quite profitable under the DCS umbrella.  Get his artists together and produce some modules.  He would bring decades of experience and the market is ripe for more WWII 3rd party modules.  Let another company handle the marketing.

I'd love to see HTC monetize their server technology through licensing.  It is top tier server code being held back by a front end he can not compete on.

I can dream can't I?
