Graywo1f: I saw the picture of I'm I'm just really glad we didn't lose your mustache. There was there was there was some charred some charred Fifi going on there. SCUD-o: Yeah, firewatch. Jimmmmmmmy: Yeah. Same. FiFi: Yeah, it was actually it's it's technically Pittsburgh style because it's chart on the outside but still raw on the inside. Jimmmmmmmy: It looks like you actually lost some of your mustache to the to the explosion. FiFi: No, it just grows in all patchy and redneck link. So Jimmmmmmmy: no way, dude. That picture you uploaded in the in our Discord like thirty seconds ago with the full horseshoe mustache. You definitely lost some, dude. FiFi: no. What did you do? Jesus Christ looked at it. my god, Photoshopping me. Graywo1f: I just saw it too. FiFi: I'll put it I will put it in here. I will flash it so everybody can see it. my wife is gonna kill me for showing up on the podcast, but it's at least a good picture of her. Graywo1f: Ha ha ha. Jimmmmmmmy: So for we've been we've been dilly dallying inside Discord for the last, I don't know, half hour, forty five minutes, getting ready to record. And Fifi said something about some cows and bulls and then he mentioned his mustache. I said this dude needs a he needs a mustache glow up, so I hopped into Photoshop real quick. FiFi: That's that that's not a mustache, Graywo1f: Yeah. FiFi: that's a man stache. That's a good one. The horseshoe? Yeah. That's like a Camacho mustache. my god. Yeah. Jimmmmmmmy: That's actually called the horseshoe mustache. The horseshoe. Dude, I I don't mind I don't mind it on you though. Like that works. Graywo1f: There's all some there's two caterpillars there, I tell you what. FiFi: At least it's a good picture of my wife. Yeah, just two caterpillars kissing. Jimmmmmmmy: Procreating. FiFi: So anyways, everybody, welcome to another episode of the High Alpha Hooligans podcast. With this one, we're just gonna be talking about Operation Wags. And everything that's coming up in the next in the next next couple days here. it's gonna be, I don't know, we're probably gonna only go about 30 minutes on this one, and we're not gonna take up a full hour or anything. But wanna big shout out to everybody who's sponsoring Operation Wags. And this is a huge list of people. first and foremost, really, and we're gonna get into the story of how we're managing to kick this off. This is kind of like a behind-the-scenes look into it, but huge shout out to especially Nine Line and Big Nui. All the ego dynamics and DCS teams with Nick Gray and Kate and everybody throwing a bunch of stuff in. And then big shout out to Wing Control, Pimax, Next Level Racing, PMDG, and a bunch of other. If I forgot you, I'm sorry. The list is huge of everybody who's been giving stuff in. And then on top of that, thank you to the community for giving us Graywo1f: my god. FiFi: we're we're we're at 93,000, I think, as I just checked. So Jimmmmmmmy: Yep, ninety three. FiFi: It's gonna be huge. And we're gonna talk about more about what the plan with the money for WAGS is as well. because there's some other stuff that that is that comes up through all this treatment and stuff like that. But other than that, welcome everybody. So we got Graywo1f: Scud couldn't be here tonight, so so we have we have Scud O Sharko. FiFi: So we have Scuddo. Yeah. SCUD-o: Hi everyone. it's Scotto here and FiFi: Yeah. And then we got Jimmy and we got Jimmy and Grey Wolf as well. everybody who's been on this team. this is just a small part of everybody who's been on the team that's been really getting this up and running. So anyways, I'll let you guys take it off because I've just already talked enough this this episode too much. So Jimmmmmmmy: So I think the big thing that we start on is this is all a community event with two purposes. One, help Wags offset his medical bills and everything that cancer is doing to him financially. And then two, make a massive community event that maybe we champion and we make into an annual or you know, maybe quarterly type deal. Where we can just bring everybody together, community, creators, devs, nine line, you know, and we just have fun across a weekend. Because I think that would be a a lot of different, you know, ch boxes checked for growing and making it more fun for everybody. And I think like everything we're doing, like, yeah, we're doing this for wags, but we're also doing it for fun because the community likes to have fun. Nobody plays DCS because it's awful and boring and you gotta flip all the switches. Everybody does it because it's fun and satisfying. And that's what we're trying to do with this event. Graywo1f: Yeah, it's been it's been really amazing to see, you know, everyone coming together. Jimmmmmmmy: Uh-huh. Graywo1f: and I think there's absolutely gonna be people requesting hey, can can we leave the server up after it's all done? You know, like, you know, this is this is Jimmmmmmmy: absolutely, dude. Graywo1f: awesome. What what Indy and Heartbreaker have been putting together behind the scenes is is truly awesome. So looking forward to everyone catching a glimpse FiFi: Yeah. Guys are in. Graywo1f: of it and partaking in in the in this coming weekend and the following weekend. Jimmmmmmmy: Yeah, before we go. FiFi: Yeah, those guys have been working their ass off. Jimmmmmmmy: Yeah, before we go forward, I would just want to name like the dev team for this event, just so that, you know, we can put credit where credit is due. you know, from ED, we have Big Nui and Nineline. and Nineline was really the one who kind of planted the seed of the idea of, you know, doing something, not really defining it, but doing something. and then of course, you know, all four of us and Scud. and then a lot of the big heavy team that moved to Earth for this is Heartbreaker, Indy Navy, you know, big brains. we got John, John Blur, we got Keys, and Special K. Like those guys have showed up and showed out in support of this event for both Wegs and the community. So if you see them or if you see a video or if you see anything with any of those guys on there, please give it a thumbs up, a heart, a like. You know, drop a comment and say thanks for what you did for Operation Wags 'cause like they invested their e FiFi: Yeah. Jimmmmmmmy: everybody's been pouring a lot into this. This has been a a pretty substantial project. So Graywo1f: Yeah. As well as everyone here and scud. FiFi: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's been it's been kinda nuts. And like especially big shout out to all the content creators who stepped up when we reached out to ask if anybody wants to be on it, because everybody was immediate yes. So huge shout out to everybody that's been like pulling and doing stuff to to pour stuff in. And and and I want to make a note about about nine line when he came up with the idea. 'Cause right after, you know, the the Wags, you know, when Wags asked us to tell everybody he had cancer, Nineline was like, Well, we gotta do something. Like, we have to do something. Like it now that it's out, we all have to do something. We have to figure something out. And then Nineline got like militant about it. He was like, Well, I don't care what the answer is gonna be. We're gonna do something, and I'm gonna he goes, If I get fired for doing this, I'm gonna do it. So we're like, Whoa, dude. And he's like, Yeah. And then luckily, of course, like it's kind of a no-brainer, like you know, like Nick Gray and like Kate and everybody were like, Yeah, of course we're gonna do something for Wags, whatever you guys need. And then just like literally opened up the wallet and the door for us to do whatever we wanted. And this is what we came up with. So I hope you guys like it. So big shout out Jimmmmmmmy: Yeah, I think FiFi: to Nine Line and Nui for for championing this really. Jimmmmmmmy: Yep. And I think one thing that I've seen a lot of people stepping up and mentioning, not a bad thing, but just to kind of paint the picture. Matt Wagner lives in the US. Where's Eagle Dynamics in DCS at? FiFi: Richland. Jimmmmmmmy: Yeah, not in the US. So it's not a US based company. So, you know, Matt is out of his own pocket for medical care here in the US. So, you know, it's not like a corporation where, you know, there's, you know, buy in health or provided health or anything like that. Completely out of his own pocket because he's a independent person, people who works for a company in a different country. And that's kind of, you know, the motivating force behind this. And we're not, you know, he's not. you know, some dude with shoebox living in a shoebox with a laptop, you know, for E D. You know, but, you know, it's a different situation than what you would normally see. You know, so just kind of setting the stage there for why we kind of chose to tackle this down. FiFi: Yeah. And so some of the other while we're talking about while we're talking about this, let's talk about where the money's gonna go for everybody, just to Jimmmmmmmy: Mm-hmm. Yep. FiFi: get that out the way up front too. so obviously the money's gonna go to help do that. He's already drained like it's already I'm like I'm not trying to give out too much, but it's already drained his personal savings, you know, fighting what he's been fighting so far. And it's already he's already had a crack into his like his his retirement fund and all sorts of stuff, to to fight this. So this is helping not only replenish that, but also help for the future treatment because Graywo1f: Future. Yeah. FiFi: we haven't even gotten into the part where where he's he's fighting the he's doing the chemo and actually fighting the cancer. Like he's just been fighting blood infections right now. And I mean, thank God that, you know, like there's one of us always up at like twenty four seven. So, you know, whenever he reaches out and he wants to talk kind of thing and stuff like that. So Wags, I know you're watching. We'd love talking to you. Bug us some more, you know. You got that sweet Steam Deck from from Heapler. Shout out Heaper, by the way, for that. Yeah. Jimmmmmmmy: hell yeah, dude. Graywo1f: Mm-hmm. FiFi: So there's no excuse for you not to be playing Arc Raiders with us while you're sitting there. But he's already back to work and he's already like sending screenshots of him working and stuff like that, so which is fun. But but the other Jimmmmmmmy: Crazy. FiFi: the other thing that's really that's really big and why we're driving for so much money is I mean, it's kind of like in I don't want to put too much of it of his business out there, but it's kind of an open secret. You know, Wags is in a wheelchair. And before he was able to transfer himself from his from his personal car to the wheelchair and stuff like that, no big deal. But now, because he's fighting all this stuff, obviously he's a lot weaker. And so getting to and from his car to the wheelchair has become increasingly difficult. And having to hire medical wheelchair transport is unbelievably expensive, especially if he has to go multiple times a week. And so now what we're doing is we're the other part of another big chunk of this money is we're gonna We want to get him a Wagsmobile. It's what we're calling it. And something something that he can, you know, easily load himself into and stuff like that to get to get to all the appointments and and for quality of life for the future and stuff like that. So you know, that's that's the other that's the other big goal, the stretch goal that we're going for. And also I want to shout out to CSG three, our our our our Milsom wing that we fly with. They They're they're they're about to pool a bunch of money and like do a mass donation into in into the thing as well. So those guys are like standout, standout dudes. Like they've been reaching out and doing stuff. So sorry, I keep talking. So let's talk about the mission. Let's talk about the actual event of what's going on. This is what everybody's here for. Let's talk about the event. Jimmy, I'll let you and Grey Wolf get talking about like the design of the mission and the map because I was nowhere near any of that at the Graywo1f: Ha ha. FiFi: dur doing all during everything. So I'll let you guys talk about it. Jimmmmmmmy: Not at all. It's kind of funny. If Eve's like, hey, are we doing this? Be bro, we solved that a week ago. FiFi: Yeah. Dude, I was so I was so buried. Like I have got Graywo1f: man. FiFi: stories for days like with like just fighting things and I yeah. But you know what? We we won. Jimmmmmmmy: Mo motors in your boats on fire and stuff. SCUD-o: Yeah. FiFi: Yeah, well I dude, I I would have dealt with more with my boat catching on fire more and more with everything else that I was dealing with with frickin' the GoFundMe. But anyways, we'll go that maybe that's another conversation for another time. Anyways, you guys take it. Jimmmmmmmy: kind of go through a logical story, I think. So I was down at our little local shop here in the town I live in. It's kind of like a whatnot consignment like everything kind of store. Because there was a bubble waffle thing, which is delicious, ice cream waffle, amazing. And Indy FiFi: Well Jimmmmmmmy: Indy sends me a a note, he's Hey bro, you got a minute for a call? I said, Bro, for you, I always got like 10 minutes for a call. And so we ended up brow FiFi: Yeah. Jimmmmmmmy: hard for two hours and we actually started mapping this out. And the moment we ended the call, we roped Gray in and from there it's all history. FiFi: Yeah. Well can you tell us about the mission? Because I don't even still know what's going on. Like I think I flew it for like ten minutes at one point in time. Like during testing. SCUD-o: See, Fifi's gotta learn too. FiFi: I'm so like listen. I've been too busy flying PC twelves. I'm just kidding. Graywo1f: Yeah. Jimmmmmmmy: Ray, you wanna you wanna you wanna cover SCUD-o: Man. Jimmmmmmmy: down and talk about what we're doing with this campaign? Graywo1f: Sure. Yeah, so it's it's gonna be, you know, basically a team versus team, PvP V E, blue four versus red four on the Caucasus map. we wanted to basically have something that was well, what better way to make sure everyone can fly on it than a free map? So we wanted to do it Jimmmmmmmy: Mm. Graywo1f: on the Caucasus map. Mariana's is awesome. I freaking love Marianas, but it's a little bit too condensed for the the scope that we're going for. But so yeah, we we all hooked together and and and put our heads together on on what we should do and and Indy Navy and Heartbreaker have an excellent framework in kind of what they've created with the Panther Den server, and that was kind of used a little bit as a base for. For to kind of transfer the template over to the Caucasus map. so capture compl you know, capture in advance campaign. there's there's SAMS, there's logistics, capture zones, flot lines, ISR, you know, you gotta do your own recon and and whatnot. You can there's also what do you call it where you can request air tasking order. so basically went Jimmmmmmmy: Yep. ATOs. Graywo1f: yeah, so when you spawn in, you can kind of go to the F ten menu on your radio and and request admission. the F ten map is gonna have all sorts of information. we're we're trying to make it as as new player friendly as we can, but still retain a a fair amount of of realism and and fun. And so the F ten map, you're gonna see all your your buddies on the F ten map. And there's gonna be a lot of people volunteering to be AWACS controllers to kind of help control the airspace and and give yourself give yourself give you some pointers on where to go and kind of help control the the air picture. SRS is available, it is not required, but we you know certainly recommend that you the h Jimmmmmmmy: Mm-hmm. Graywo1f: you hop on and use it just with kind of the the different tools. and and programs we're utilizing, we we opted to go for SRS as opposed to the in-game voice chat, which you know they're we we all know they're working on and we we can't wait for the future of that as they work on it and but external things like lot ATC and and there's also sky eye which I don't have too much experience with Skyeye. Is that where is that where you taught you literally talk to SRS? Jimmmmmmmy: Yeah, so SCUD-o: Yeah. Jimmmmmmmy: s it is a super cool option. I don't want to get too deep or too technical into it, but you literally just speak to it, whatever the call sign is. And this is something, you know, if you're new to multiplayer, this is something that you'll kind of want to like clue in on. There's a few little things. one, this map's not going to show you everything at once, but it is gonna show you Flag of War. So you're gonna see your forward line of advance, you're gonna see what your sensors see, and then beyond that. frontline if your sensors or your line of sight doesn't see it, you're not going to see it. So don't think you can go, you know, run like a 500 mile deep strike mission and not be, you know, contested in some way. like Grey Wolf said earlier, we really stepped out with the idea of making it extremely friendly to new virtual aviators, but also still fun and challenging for those who are Developed and keen on their aircraft. so you're gonna see like a kind of a middle of a road because yeah, it's a very Graywo1f: A wide range. Yeah. Jimmmmmmmy: wide range. And it's not it's gonna give you a challenge. It's but it's not gonna be easy. if that makes sense. there's gonna be logistical convoys for people to go out and hunt. the SA systems are extremely I don't wanna say easy. It's like a balance, you know, watch watch your essay page, you know, for where it says like essay five, six, you know, respect the respect put some respect on some of those numbers. Graywo1f: Yeah. It's FiFi: Res Graywo1f: a it's a whole it's FiFi: respect the threat. SCUD-o: And Graywo1f: a whole capture the map kind of campaign, you know, theater of war type of aspect. And so yeah, there's definitely some some realism in how it's how it's set up and but also the thing Jimmmmmmmy: aye. Graywo1f: to note is is, you know, it we're we're coming together to do this to have fun and we're coming together for for wags and and we we we realize that there's gonna be some people who have never opt on multiplayer before. but they want to do it and show their support for WAGs and we're happy to have and and can't wait to see see who comes. So and with with that the how how it's set up a little bit because it's as we said T V PvP V E is the people so the the public which Is everyone watching, minus a few creators, but the public will be flying on Blue Four and creators, developers, community pillars, and and and all sorts of of people like that are flying red four. So if you hop into the server, you have a chance to shoot down Nine Line, you have a chance to shoot down Big Nui, you have a chance to shoot FiFi: Hmm. Jimmmmmmmy: Yeah. Graywo1f: down me. Jimmy, Fifi, Scud, Scuddo or Sharko. And Jimmmmmmmy: Yeah. FiFi: Yeah. Graywo1f: and and all sorts of creators out there who are who are gonna be joining, you're gonna see their names flying on Red Four. You're gonna see you're probably gonna see a pop-up that you shot them down if you're able to tag them. And and because we have to be, you know, very clear on our line break of GoFundMe and Prizes for the event, you know, very separate there. There is separate. and so the GoFundMe FiFi: Mm. Graywo1f: is not tied to this DCS event. So the prizes and whatnot to win during this DCS event are you you can essentially obtain them by participation. So if you if you join the server, if you fly longer than X amount of time, we'll call it like 10 minutes or so. that enters your name, you know, at least one entry for some prizes. And and then if you shoot down a certain Red Four creator on a bounty list, then you might get entered into you might get another entry or you know, five or however they we weighed it. And we're still kind of working on that in the background of of of prizes and giveaways. you know, for for the people participating in the event and and we'll make that more clear as it as it kinda leads up to it. And and so there'll be some social media posts by, you know, Eagle Dynamics or or whoever about hey I'm flying, come shoot me down, you know, there's a bounty on me, ex etcetera etcetera. And and so it's just gonna be a lot of fun. And we're looking forward to yeah, looking forward to seeing everyone there. yeah. FiFi: Yeah. And the prizes, the prizes are gonna be insane. Like I don't want to tell exactly what we're giving away, but there's like full cockpit setups, sim rig setups, VR, like brand new VR goggles, like all sorts of crazy shit that's we can give it away. And like you guys do SCUD-o: So FiFi: not want to miss this. Graywo1f: Yeah, they I mean everyone came out of the woodworks. They all want to show their support and they all think, you know, it's it's awesome. And just gives me goosebumps thinking about of of of all the people like FiFi: Yeah, there's easily Graywo1f: who have come out and been like, you know, nine line pops into the to the our like dev channel of for operation wags and he's like, Hey, I got I got this. Yeah, these guys these these guys wanna these guys wanna FiFi: Yeah. We're like there's SCUD-o: He's got everything, man. Graywo1f: give this to the to the event. It's like what? Holy crap. FiFi: There's tens, tens of thousands of dollars worth of stuff to give out. Like, I mean, it's it's so Jimmmmmmmy: Yeah, this FiFi: much. SCUD-o: Right, like just when Jimmmmmmmy: this this SCUD-o: you think you have the whole the whole cockpit. There there's more weeding, you know? There's tons. Jimmmmmmmy: but wait, there's more. I heard a rumor FiFi: There's more waiting. For free. Graywo1f: Yeah. Jimmmmmmmy: that Pappy Plains is actually building a one to one to give out. FiFi: Yeah, yeah. my god. He just he just died. Graywo1f: To give SCUD-o: Mm. Jimmmmmmmy: I'm totally joking. Pappy Plains is not giving away his his hornet. FiFi: He just he just died. And also the Graywo1f: Yeah. FiFi: other cool thing with the creators is the fact that we have actually Jimmmmmmmy: Yeah. FiFi: created well Grey Wolf actually came up with the idea of creating time slots for all the creators to fly. So we will so we will be covering this server twenty four seven for s so there's always gonna be someone on there for you guys to like hunt down and fight or just try to push. And we're also gonna be trying to push the war too. Like we wanna win too. but we're also we also just wanna have fun. So we've already got plans for all sorts of stupid stuff. Like we might just do like we we we might just do a full warbirds push one day while you guys are all just lobbing AMRAMs at us or Graywo1f: Yes. Yes. FiFi: you know, like we've got all Jimmmmmmmy: So the FiFi: sorts of s yeah. Yeah, we have to do our own logistics. I think I think there's a couple other guys with herks that are gonna Graywo1f: We have to do our own logistics too. And by that I mean it's all Fifi. Jimmmmmmmy: I wanna We do. SCUD-o: Mm. It's all Fifi we're all gonna be flying C2s on the front line. FiFi: be flying it. Yeah. Jimmmmmmmy: So there's so kinda wanna piggyback on a few ideas of things I know that's going to happen. so if you have a favorite creator that you want to go and have fun and you know, try and, you know, dance with them a little bit in the sky, go ask them because we're up to a hundred and forty creators who are on Redfor from Twitch, TikTok, YouTube, Kick, like even some dude actually writes a a piece For his local newspaper on DCS. I'm joking. But FiFi: What? Did I miss that one? I was like, my god, that's so cool. Jimmmmmmmy: He's out there with the typewriter. You know. SCUD-o: There's more there's more than that now. Graywo1f: We even we even have we even have SCUD-o: I'll get the total for you in a second. Graywo1f: we even have El Rojito from Grey Flag. Jimmmmmmmy: Yeah. El Rojito showed up. FiFi: when I saw him when I saw him pop in there I was like this son of a bitch. Jimmmmmmmy: Hell yeah. so Graywo1f: Yeah. He might have a few of his cronies helping him, so we'll see. Jimmmmmmmy: so I want to speak on a few a few things to keep an eye out for. Tab's original. You guys know him as the virtual pilot from Down Under who dissects and studies every engagement. He says, you know, but my AM9X had a different idea. You know? So he has demanded in one of his time slots, not demanded, but he said, Hey, this is what we're doing. There's gonna be a massive contrail formation flight with Nothing on the wings, completely clean, guns only, smoke pods on both wings, and we're all flying in. There's like 38 of us in that time slot, 38 of us in formation with Graywo1f: Yes. Jimmmmmmmy: all the smoke on, looking for guns only dog fights. FiFi: Ha ha ha. Jimmmmmmmy: And we're gonna have smoke Graywo1f: And we're all gonna get shot down by Sam's. Jimmmmmmmy: hell yeah. We're we're gonna have our FiFi: She's Jimmmmmmmy: s we're gonna for for IFF for identify friend or foe, we're gonna have smoke pods on. So if you see that message pop up, or if you see it. We will have our smoke on. Come fight us. The other one. FiFi: Yeah. Jimmmmmmmy: nine line has, you know, he's taking a lead on this one. there's gonna be a massive Yak fifty two and Christian Eagle formation. Flying treetop level with the challenge for us to land on one of your bases. So there's there's gonna be some FiFi: Mm. Graywo1f: I can't wait. SCUD-o: And do an air show. And do an air show. Jimmmmmmmy: and air show. Graywo1f: I'm I got that air show down. SCUD-o: Yeah. FiFi: Yeah. SCUD-o: This guy's gonna be hitting four point rolls and cubenates and all that. Graywo1f: Yes. Jimmmmmmmy: What what what what else, Sharka? What am I missing? What are the other plans that everybody has? SCUD-o: good question. I think one night FiFi: There's a SCUD-o: we're gonna just raid with BU's for the funnies. Graywo1f: I know, I mean, yeah, everyone all the content creators who are available and gonna be participating, they're all gonna be streaming, you know, making videos, making content. and so definitely tune in to who you watch. bug them to come fly for sure. it's not not too late. We we we are more than happy to open the door to more content creators to help come fill the time slots for sure. Yeah. Jimmmmmmmy: Reach out to us. Yep. FiFi: Yeah. SCUD-o: Right, just a small quick application FiFi: Yeah, for sure. Jimmmmmmmy: Yeah, running SCUD-o: form you have to go through, but you can get in, there's still time. And yeah, come join. FiFi: Yeah, there is. Jimmmmmmmy: Yeah, if you are a content creator, a dev, if you do anything for DCS aside from just play, come join us because we are running a seventy two hour persistent campaign and we are staffing the Red Force and it takes more than a hundred and forty people. FiFi: Yeah. I thought it w I thought I thought we were only gonna need like maybe a hundred people, but I was sorely Jimmmmmmmy: no. FiFi: wrong. So Graywo1f: Yeah. Takes a f takes a little bit to fill all those time blocks. SCUD-o: He takes an army. FiFi: Yeah, fill those time slots, yeah. But Jimmmmmmmy: Yep. Speaking about numbers, one thing that you guys have to your advantage, saying you guys blew for, the server right now as built, and as long as it stands in in all of our testing so far, it's looking very promising. We are going to have I think Grey Wolf, you'll have to check me on this one, the first ever 100 pilot server running where we have 40 slots for Red Coalition and 60 slots or blue coalition. So there's Graywo1f: Yeah, baby. Jimmmmmmmy: a d there's a disparity there where you guys have advantage. And then you guys definitely have the advantage on warehousing, moving logistics, because you guys are starting on the southern end of Caucasus maps down in the Georgia area. We are starting up at, you know, the butt crack of Mozdo, you know, which is a not a short flight to get anything to the front line. you guys will have NATO. based SAM systems, we will have you know, the red traditional, you know, Russian USSR, Chinese systems. aircrafts are completely open. If it's in DCS, it's open for both sides. So you're gonna see some warbirds. You're gonna see some yaks. FiFi: Your your client. To your client required. SCUD-o: That's true. Yeah. Jimmmmmmmy: definitely pure client required. Yep, we ain't doing none of that goofy stuff. and then FiFi: No that they're goofy stuff going on right on the here. Jimmmmmmmy: Going back to kind of features, Skyeye. We I started on tangent and kind of didn't finish on that tangent in Skyeye, super cool. dial your radio to the frequency, look at the knee board. if you don't know what a knee board is, go to your control binds for every aircraft you own. And there is a default key to bring your keybind up or your kneeboard Graywo1f: Usually K. Jimmmmmmmy: up and down. And then it FiFi: Right shift K. Right shift K and it stays open. Jimmmmmmmy: Yep. And then you want a next page and previous page because there's gonna be a lot of information there. there's gonna be call signs, waypoints. nav data there's gonna be all the plates for all the aircra for all the airfields go through there find the COM card is gonna say you know AWAX is on channel or button six or seven I think it is for blue depending on which side of the map you're on and then tune your radio to that frequency and literally say you know Overlord one one this is Jimmy Chaos whatever your multiplayer name is you know request pitcher request bogey dope request vector tank or tanker Look at Skyeye, just Google SkyEye. Dude, you could no, it's it is literally it Graywo1f: Can they have dashes and stuff like that? Like that I think I remember it's figured it out. SCUD-o: You can it takes everything. Jimmmmmmmy: it is wicked intuitive. Because what it does is it converts your spoken voice into a text, and then the AI engine of it will read the text and it'll say, Hey, I think this is this guy. I think he's asking for this, and then it will give a reply in like the closest assimilation, looking at DCS to framework the mission, everything. To what you're saying and in all of our testing, it's my first time using Skyeye. Like it does everything you say, and you don't have to be perfectly articulate like the old over was it the overlord bot that used to be the thing, right? Yeah. Yes. It this is SCUD-o: Yeah. Used to be overlord. FiFi: Yeah, the Overlord bought one, yeah. Graywo1f: Yeah. Yep. Okay. Jimmmmmmmy: it is very friendly to somebody just spitting out some random Graywo1f: Accents. Jimmmmmmmy: stuff. yeah. Yeah. The SkyI is awesome. And then s yeah. And then FiFi: Really, really everybody needs to come out and just have fun. Just just come have fun and win stuff. Jimmmmmmmy: CTLD is the second thing to kind of spin yourself up on a little bit if it's your first time using it, because with CTLD you can move logistics, you can move combined arms. there's a lot of stuff under CTLD. Those are the two functions. If you're a first time multiplayer person, look at those SCUD-o: No, there's a war. Jimmmmmmmy: two. Those are the big the two big ones. FiFi: And if you SCUD-o: So FiFi: in and for for a lot of sorry, go ahead. Go ahead, Scheddow. SCUD-o: we we got Skynet as well Jimmmmmmmy: Mm. SCUD-o: active. That's the integrated air defense system. Jimmmmmmmy: yeah yeah yeah. SCUD-o: for anybody who likes Graywo1f: yeah. SCUD-o: to do seed, you're gonna have a hard time doing it now, pretty much. It's not like the regular DCS seed, it's a bit more complex where everything acts as an actual Jimmmmmmmy: It's a little more alive. SCUD-o: air defense network and like they'll turn off their radars when they sense a sand being shot at them. Graywo1f: Mm-hmm. SCUD-o: But you're gonna need to probably have multi ship seed flights. It's gonna be a lot of fun and that's for both sides. For Skynet you guys are at advantage because Red Four doesn't get that. So we're gonna have to be relying on me, myself and I. But apart from that, Jimmmmmmmy: Ha ha. SCUD-o: y'all got that. Graywo1f: Our old Tomcat fighter to fighter, baby, baby. Yeah. FiFi: Yeah. SCUD-o: There you go. FiFi: Flying that. Yeah, so it's gonna be a lot of fun. I think just everybody come out and just have fun, win stuff, shoot us down, like blow stuff up, break our stuff. Jimmmmmmmy: Have question. When is this? Graywo1f: yeah. FiFi: This weekend. SCUD-o: That's that's important. Graywo1f: It's this weekend. This summer two weekends. July thirty first to Jul Monday the august third. And FiFi: This weekend. Starting this week this Sunday Sunday Sunday Sunday going fishing in Hemi Dotch Ragan. SCUD-o: That's assuming Pifi gets his podcast out. Graywo1f: then weekend two, august seventh through august ninth. Well yeah, UTC would be august tenth, I guess, but SCUD-o: one of you both. FiFi: Yeah. But it's it's going over it's gonna be this weekend and then next weekend as well. Graywo1f: Yeah, and we can have the ex the kind of time blocks in the description of of of no I think the sound kinda came through a little bit. Yeah, I'm sorry I'm live on Grey Flag PG right now. We just witnessed our first it was FiFi: Ooh no no somebody blew up SCUD-o: Big bolter. Ooh. man. Jimmmmmmmy: I don't even know what happened. Dude, I don't even know what happened. It's like SCUD-o: Bolder. Jimmmmmmmy: you hit a static on three or something or FiFi: missed the wire. Graywo1f: Yeah, I think it was a hook skip bolter or something and then the a little bit of missile line on No? FiFi: Yeah, miss Jimmmmmmmy: No. I saw the I saw the deck crew walking over for a launch like thirty seconds ago. I'm pretty sure that was a launch. Yeah, deck crew is going Graywo1f: really? That's wild. SCUD-o: What? Really? FiFi: no. Jimmmmmmmy: over for a request launch, dude. SCUD-o: Well they zoom Graywo1f: dear. FiFi: no. SCUD-o: back to the other cat then, what the hell? Graywo1f: Well, I can I hear the alarm bells going off behind me, so FiFi: The SCUD-o: Anyways. FiFi: Yeah. Graywo1f: Anyways anyways. FiFi: We can't we can't sustain this. We can't Graywo1f: I'm surprised it took that long. FiFi: keep this up. so yeah, but everybody come out, have fun, enjoy enjoy enjoy the time, enjoy the enjoy the work and you know, maybe we turn this into a into a into an annual thing. It's a lot of work, but it's really worth it. It's been a lot of fun. We want to thank everybody for all the support through everything. thank I wanna again, a huge thank to all the the content creators that jumped up. There's like too many of you for for for me to even try to name. But I really Jimmmmmmmy: Mm-hmm. FiFi: thank you to all the all the content creators that have, you know, that I've personally messaged myself and been trat chatting back and forth and I've gotten some advice on some cer certain things and how to handle some stuff and and then and then pushing the the event. chipping in with, you know, hey, what can we do? And like everybody's just been like, hey, what can we do? What can we help out with? So definitely like all you guys need to go follow and subscribe to all these guys. Like they're just they're absolutely fantastic. And they've been a lot of fun. made some new friends, some really hilarious cool new friends and stuff like that through it. people I never knew would have ex I would have never ran across or existed if it wasn't for this and which has been a lot of fun. and yeah. Graywo1f: It's great it's great to see everyone in in our kind of planning discord just being so positive and and FiFi: Yeah. Graywo1f: you know coming together for a good cause and and and everyone who's who's who's given anything, you know, one dollar to whatever amount you've given, thank you. Thank you for for for helping the cause here for for our homie. FiFi: So and and I want to throw that out. So the highest donation was $2,500 and the lowest donation was like $3. But the guy who donated $3 and the people who did the guys who've donated $5 have also shared the GoFundMe around like 10 times apiece. Because I could see that. And so that's a thank you for bringing that up, Grey Wolf, because like that's that's that's a big that's a big point. So because of that, those guys have shared it around and then by the laws of you know force multiplication, you know, people who have seen You share the GoFundMe have also donated. So you have essentially quadrupled, triple, you know, ten times your your your donation just by getting other people to see it to bring money in. So and it and again, if you guys can't donate, don't like if you if you don't have the money to do it, don't do it. Share it. I mean that's and that's what everybody's been doing. It's been shared around so many times. and it's just it just keeps growing. And so huge shout out to everybody who's who's really stepped up and volunteered just to help, just by sharing. And talking about it. that's what that's SCUD-o: Yeah. FiFi: what really counts. SCUD-o: After a bit of number crunching, our total account right now is up to one hundred and sixty four people in the red in the Red Four team. So we got some Graywo1f: okay, gotcha. Jimmmmmmmy: Dude, that's awesome. FiFi: Dang. Okay. Graywo1f: I thought you were gonna say one hundred and sixty four grand. I was about to poop myself. But hopefully soon. After weekend one, we're gonna get there, Jimmmmmmmy: Ha ha ha. FiFi: I've had so SCUD-o: Well you know what? I did we did we hit a hundred? I think we're almost there. Graywo1f: right? Yeah. Jimmmmmmmy: Ninety three. FiFi: No, it weren't yeah, we're like ninety-three thousand or something like that. But like so when I first when I first set the goal, I was like, hey, I'd be remember when we were talking about it, we're like, man, we'll be happy if we get like fifteen SCUD-o: Yeah. FiFi: grand out of this, like ten, fifteen grand out of it. So I was like, all right, let's get lofty and Graywo1f: Yeah. I'm like I'm like no. SCUD-o: The nine line like pushed a little higher. FiFi: set it originally for thirty thousand dollars. And then we blew through that and Graywo1f: Like, no, we're getting eighty. FiFi: I was like, we were like, crap. And like an afternoon, we we already hit like forty-five thousand dollars. So we had to keep bumping up the goal. And so now I set it to something absolutely ridiculously high. But we're really closing in on that. And I'm like, well, we're just gonna see what this goes to now. We're just gonna ride this thing to the moon. So again, Graywo1f: Yeah. FiFi: it's going it's it's it's all every penny's going to Wags. And he's already he's already super grateful for it. And and he also told us that anything he doesn't use, he wants to donate to a cancer research foundation. So the money's not going to anybody's pocket. We told him to take a vacation, he said no. But We told him to get spinners on the Wagsmobile if we wa if we managed to get him a car. But he also said no on that one. Jimmmmmmmy: Get a vi get a viper paint get a viper airbrushed on the side of it. SCUD-o: See that I'd support. That I'd support. That's a great use of money. FiFi: No. He just he Graywo1f: That's FiFi: just wants to he wants to donate the unused money to to to s to somebody else. So Graywo1f: That that's that's just a testament to to who he is, who who Wags is, you know, and and just a testament to just how many lives DCS has touched and and just how how long he's you know, been with DCS and and and it and his his love for the flight sim and and just the game in general has r has really shown. and and so the more that it gets shared, the more that that people I mean, who have enjoyed the Flight Sim for for so long, realize, my God, that's that's our guy. That's our that's our man Jimmmmmmmy: Mm-hmm. Graywo1f: and and we love him and and I mean it w I wouldn't be here if it weren't for weren't for Wags. So I'm really thankful to to to have him in in Eagle Dynamics and and and I think it's really special what what we're what what everyone's doing and in in any way that they can. And it's just great to see. FiFi: Yeah. SCUD-o: Yeah, definitely. FiFi: So any other any other closing thoughts, anybody? Jimmmmmmmy: Hmm, I gotta I got a quick review. We can FiFi: Mm-hmm. Jimmmmmmmy: make a short out of this. so over the next two weekends, we are having the we have the aspiration of host hosting the largest online event in DCS history, all in the name of Matt Wagner. working in parallel but not in conjunction with a GoFundMe in his name or his battle against cancer. in the campaign not associated with the GoFundMe at all. you are able to fly and be eligible for prizes just by getting in the seat and flying with us. We have everything from Hotaz setups and we're not talking like, you know, use stuff off of somebody's shelf. Like wind controls come out and they are putting almost multiple full pits on the table to be won by either flying and seat time or by shooting down a specific person with a bounty. I guarantee at some point all three of us will have a bounty on us, as well as Big Nui and everybody. Then we mentioned earlier in that core dev group will absolutely have a bounty. and then there'll be bounties on pretty much every content creator that you can imagine. If you want to find out when they're flying, because you want to fly against them or even jump on the radio and say hi to them, bug them, shoot a message, drop a comment, follow a like. And this is a community event that we want to turn into an annual thing. FiFi: Well said. Jimmmmmmmy: That's my sales pitch. FiFi: Well said. Graywo1f: Forgot wink wink. FiFi: We could sales pitch. Yeah, the wink. We don't even need. Jimmmmmmmy: hold on. Come fly with us. Come shoot me down. SCUD-o: that's true. There we are, there we are, there we Graywo1f: Come shoot me down.
