Marine ground guy here. This is so awesome to watch and I totally agree, this puts you right back into it as far as the comms and situation. Great stuff!
A lot of people don’t realize how difficult and clustered comms get when you have internal and external rattling on lol
Fantastic video...HOWEVER, most importantly to you guys who provided/provide support in real-world situations...I know it is cliche' but THANK YOU...UTTERLY amazing...I really admire you guys...Not to mention relied on you guys many times back in the day (before your time) ...Assuming you guys did training at Ft Rucker in AL??? I know they were hard up to get former pilots back in as instructors, etc a year or so ago with hefty bonuses to jump back in...The only reason I mentioned that is because in this video the terrain looks almost identical to the area/terrain there... I tried my best to figure out a way to have an opportunity to fly jets or rotor-wing solo or with one other person, a 2-man crew....but the only options provided to me on my "options" were "heavy's" due to what would not be considered an issue today...but in the 80s flying jets or any rotor-wing was not happening without perfect vision...I was shocked they also said I was too tall...although barely 6'2 maybe 6'3'...oh well, all worked out..just ended up jumping, falling, and fast-roping out of almost every type of aircraft...but definitely was something I wanted to do from time was a kid through college & at times thought about it during my time on the ground...I did earn my PPL ~30yrs ago (1993)
I know one of the reasons I wanted to fly was because ever since I can remember and every chance we had would go to the base to watch my Uncle who was a rotor-wing pilot like you guys... He was rated/certified in almost every type...I've seen him fly Hueys, Co-piloted Chinooks (not sure what his official status was during those); even fly "rear-seat" of what had to be an early variant AH-64 ...think was the 154-AH-64 ... I saw him strap into perhaps the ugliest aircraft in the history of the US military... the CH-54 skyhook (or sky crane..I'm old so memory may fail me)...He told me when I was leaning on him to pull some strings for me that nothing he could or would do...he emphasized he did not get to fly hardly at all anymore...I guess it's true, an inverse relationship between rank and flying...Rank goes up and flying time goes down...Anyway, Not sure if this is common or not but he transitioned out of the "regular" US Army after he did a 2-3 year stint at the Pentagon...He returned to his home state and commanded an Air Wing there with the Air National Guard... then was promoted again, serving as the Commanding General of both the Mississippi Army and Air National Guard units (over about 12K people) and served as Mississippi's Adjutant General for ~6-years...He also served as the Commander (not sure of rank at the time) of the East Command -82nd and 101st Airborne during conflicts including the 1st Gulf War...He is retired now...Had a handful of relatives who made careers out of the service...2 Colonels and a couple of others....never would have thought they were so well respected unless walked with them on base....left a massive impression on me...
Apologize for the personal sentimental trip down memory lane but this video brought a lot back to me...Appreciate that...Take Care
Thanks for the note and the sentiment. 💪🏼
That footage was fire. Love the coordination and the constant line of comms. Got a good laugh at the 'enemy that despawned' and you saying "Just like in real life" haha.
The comms were pretty amazing. I'm a GA pilot and was in the Navy, so I was able to follow along, but I couldn't begin to use proper comms like this if I were playing. Of course, I've never flown an AH-64 into combat, either, so that's to be expected. ;) As your gunner said, "I think you've done this before."
Just gotta do it a few times and then it makes sense. Just like any radio work. Takes reps. 🤷🏻♂️
Don’t worry- I sounded like a bafoon flying into LAX this past week. Radio work takes time.
this is still my favorite casmo video. please make more mission videos.
Loved to watch/hear how you guys worked the radio comms. That was 20+ minutes well spent.
Glad you enjoyed
Possibly the best and certainly up as one of the best DCS videos of all time. Compelling viewing, I was able to follow the comms and the discipline of the two crews was awesome.
Thank you kindly
Nice one, found you through GS. Anyone he recommends is certainly worth looking at.
Former Army 2/75 - Have a thousand hours in Little Birds, Huey and Hawks...(riding not flying - but a little bootleg time) Got support many times from Apaches... THANKS
You guys and 1st Air Egland/Hurlburt / 160th I can never repay for all the times you guys came in for us. Sua Sponte Brother
Welcome to the channel. 🫡
SA is the key to operating in a theater like this. When told "..enemies on the southwest side of the intersection..." you have to know where you are, the direction you're headed and all in relation to the compass. That is a skill that can be developed but some people just have a natural sense of where they are in the world. Those are the most dangerous foe
Enjoy your content. Listening to radio comms requesting med evac always gave me anxiety.
Good mission!!! I need to start learning the Apache! Looks fun.
Was the guy on the ground a JTAC?
It’s also nice to be a noob and get away with dumb shit. It turns out you can have the same amount of fun.
if you have track-IR twitching on one side only , for me most often the issue was something getting inbetween theinfrared-LEDs and the camera (most often the arm that holds microphone from headset or a wire)
Amazing work, there is always something to learn from this videos. Also the area looks like a perfect ambush spot. Wondering, would be possible to replicate the same style of mission for single player? thinking in the Kiowa here...
What map are you guys using in this one?
Is the TSI for the Apache available yet and how do you set it up
TSI?
sorry typo what i wanted was Target State Estimator (TSE)
Could you share the name of the campaign
I just call it “war on ISIS”. It’s not a DLC
Is there a trick to understand people better in SRS, because I try really hard to understand what they are saying but it is literally impossible
It’s like real life. You have to train your ears. 🤷🏻♂️
If you struggle while playing DCS with SRS yourself, you can disable the radio noise afaik. So it should be easier to understand while learning all the new terminology
Hello Casmo, I got myself 20cm extension for my VKB, do You use any curves for axis with extension? Seems unnecesary but maybe.
What did your friend think about the game?
They seemed to enjoy it.
Great mission. But, I could not see anything on the ground, except a burning vehicle on the road.
That’s life as an attack pilot sometimes.
How do I turn the Static noise off when I start the Apache? Not sure if its SRS or the game.
Flip the five switches on your radio panel up. They're squelch switches, and as each one gets turned on, the static should get lower and lower
LOL that didn't age well.....Israeli Secret Intelligence Service.....
regarding line charges you mentioned in GHPC interview, check
video on VHÚ channel, Ukázka bojové techniky (1958) Minute 9. That one definitely did get upgraded later on with UR-77 mine clearer. (I saw name UR-67, soviet system, but this one had to be earlier) I wrote in your last video that the technology is 1950s.
Awesome video, great to see a bunch of pros working together in a mission!
Great Stuff!
Is the comms system SRS?
Yes
@@CasmoTV Awesome, thanks. I've only just discovered DCS, and your podscast, through the FPP podcast. Loving it all, including this video! Thanks!
Edit: how have you mapped your comm PTT buttons? Stick, throttle, collective or something else?
Hey Casmo, do you think you can upload a new LMC tutorial video now that the Target State Estimator is now implemented? Thanks
Awesome role playing there 🤯
Really enjoyed watching this
:)
That was fantastic. Were there people playing the part of the ground troops, and what "game" were they using? Is DCS _also_ an FPS?! 🤯
DCS has a rudimentary ground combat side. So someone was controlling the ground elements
It is closer to a rudimentary RTS, though with some (but not all) vehicles being able to be controlled third person.
Ahh, thanks @@CasmoTV. I haven't looked into that side of DCS yet. It's been hard enough staying current with the F5 and F18! 🤯 (It just so happened that one of ED's sales coincided with me feeling confident enough with the TF-51, and I foolishly bought a bunch of modules … (A10, F5, F16, F18, Huey, and a few maps) … been working on those ever since! 😳😂)
@@rogerramjet8395 It's called Combined Arms, actually not too bad either. Allows you to do cool things like lase for friendly aircraft, give coords, etc
Do have a server or go onto other servers?
This is my server for Patreon supporters. I also have public servers. But these are hand crafted missions.
Hey cosmo, how in DCS are you guys working with the ground?
Combined arms
Cool thanks man. I have that just never learned how to use it. I was a MLRS crew chief. Would love to learn it
Great to see how pros do it, noob question: why isnt there any hovering? like that is our idea of using a heli?
Why would I hover and use more gas and be easier to shoot?
Casmo, did I see an A Troop 1/17th Cav flag in one of your photos? I was a UH-60 CE in A Troop at Simmons AAF from 85-87, back then we had 5 H-60, 5 H-58, and 5 AH-1's per Troop, and Aerorifle platoons with camo dirt bikes we took out for recon on the 60's. Had to go to the new 2/82nd AVN during restructure when the Cav went to 58 D's. The 2/82nd was at Pope until we moved into the "new" hangars at Simmons, and the 1/82nd was at Hood until I left during initial training of the entire Battalion on the H-64. I mean, the 1/82nd was literally PCS to Hood for a year or more. Good times.
Yep. Commanded A troop 09-11. Was a CW2 in B troop before that.
What are you guys using for COMs to get the real radio effects? And could I get a link on setting it up to use with my buddy I crew a DCS Apache with?
It’s SRS.
Awesome
Good times 🤙
Aren't you guys flying too high for a helicopter? I see Russian Ka-52's and Mi-35's flying incredibly low in Ukraine.
We aren’t flying in Ukraine so no.
Flying super low is to avoid MANPADS by puting things like trees, buildings etc between you and them. In an area where the MANPAD threat is minimal, its better to fly higher to stay out of range of small arms. At least thats how i understand it. From what irememebr British Apaches were not meant to ever fly below 1000ft in combat in Afghanistan due to there being no real manpad threat, but plenty of small arms fire
Is that Growling sidewinder I hear? Woohoo
Nope not in this one.
