The mission is finally complete! After all the chaos, replays, and controller headaches, I’ve wrapped it up. The only thing left to do is add the mission questions into the video and create the short version for those who just want a quick taste of the action. But for now, let’s get into the final mission-enjoy the ride. My foremost goal was to perform a landing that would bring pride to 'Murica [ mur-ih-kuh ], You know who you are, little squirrel. I trust it has lived up to expectations. Coming next: Space Delivery.
John "Doe": 🎃 🚁💥
🎭 Let’s see if you can't find out who you are, John "Doe." This will be your name... for now. I’ll leave clues in each video, so pay attention. The mystery starts here, and it’s up to you to solve it. Can you figure it out? Time will tell. 👀

Mission Overview:
This Apache mission involved taking down SAM sites, clearing objectives, and navigating dangerous terrain with some unexpected twists. Challenges? Yeah, we had those-from DCS World’s awkward replays to my co-pilot dropping the laser after a bug freaked her out. Still, I managed to take out four vehicles: three with Hellfires and one with the gun, landing just in time before things got worse.
Radio Banter:
While 30 kilometers out from landing, I got the classic line: "When you see something..." Naturally, I replied, "Say something?" But no, it was, "No, if you see something, you're going to shoot it." Got it. Shoot first, no questions.
The Last Few Days Before Halloween:
This mission took place just days before Halloween 2035, adding that extra spooky vibe. Warframe, GTA, and Destiny had their Halloween events going, but let’s be real-it was just me and my squirrel buddy out here playing Warframe. Cue "This Is Halloween," because that’s how this mission felt!
Music Playlist:
Poison - Alice Cooper
Wardruna - Kvitravn (White Raven)
Grim Grinning Ghost - VoicePlay
Wicked Game - Chris Isaak
The End of the World
This Is Halloween - Marilyn Manson
Way Down We Go (Stripped) - Kaleo
🎶 This playlist sets the perfect mood for the mission-dark, spooky, and chaotic, just like it should be for Halloween.
DCS Briefing Room & Questions:
The mission was created using the DCS Briefing Room. I’ll be adding real questions from the game manual into the video, so keep an eye out. Everything from laser codes and acquisition sources to BINGO fuel will be covered. Watch for the images during the video and see if you can answer them!

Final Thoughts:
Now that the mission is finished, I’ll add the questions and create a short version for those who want a quick look. Until then, enjoy the full mission, and remember-John "Doe," your clues are waiting. Keep watching to solve the mystery.

To view a replay, use the track on your Rig. Ensure you have purchased the Apache and the Map. Alternatively, you may opt to experience it on the Stubwing. The session will last just over an hour. You can pause the replay and take control at any time. Watch how I engage, then step in to practice. You might even perform better than me. I've never operated an Apache in real life. I've been close to them often, even when they were disassembled with parts scattered everywhere. My thought was always, "I'm not touching that-good luck." "To the "TIPPY" top!"
