I'm easy to find on Amazon if you search by my name instead of any of my book names.

Same as my name here: Diesel Jester. :D

send me the name! ill take a look ! thats badass man

busy as always. got six books, three short stories, and two anthology submissions published now! :)

how you doing

Yo!

yall still out there?

Now that was an op! Well planned, well executed. Always a fun time.

I’ve made progress. I got steam re downloaded on my computer! LoL. One of the RL issues was that I had to do a factory restart on my computer. Been slowly reinstalling programs

We are using vanilla units now. It was time for a change of pace.

Also are we no longer doing vietnam?

Hopefully I'm back next week for awhile. So I'll hop on, if the mod list is still current that's awesome all of have to do is update

Last, I placed another listing on the Steam forums to look for more players. I got two people to respond, but then my power started getting all iffy, so we will see if they are still interested. Bummed it had to go down like that, but all we can do is see if they are still interested.

So, that is what I have been doing. I will be around tonight, so if you see me, hop on TS3 and we can ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Secondly, I have been working on getting an easy-to-use mission creator template set up on Altis. It will be as simple as choosing which supports to use, name the task and give a quick description of what to do, drag the Task Marker to where you want on the map, place an enemy force, and there you are- a fairly complex, polished mission. It will also be possible to create more than one task, and even link them so a second one becomes available when the first one is completed. That last part is what I am working on now. I can do it, but I am streamlining it so someone will be able to string together tasks in minutes.

Alright, power finally seems steady. That is one of the negatives of having you power come from the other side of a major fault line.

Anyway.... I wanted to let you guys know what I have been up to. First and foremost, I have set up a Twitch stream and I can now live broadcast there, or on Youtube. I still haven't figured out how to attach it to TS3, or how to record it, but it is actually broadcasting and everything. That is pretty exciting.

No worries, man. Life is life. :)

Sorry I haven't been on guys, I hate this job I've been doing but hopefully if I get a new one when I come back I'll be on more

IF we ever did add four more men (16 total, and MAX I would ever want to do) I would add...

Blue Team 3- Team Leader (Grenadier), Autorifle, AT

and add

Engineer (and put him in charge of Supports instead of Squad Leader)

So, with Chris getting into squad controls, and me getting back into streaming, I would like to try something a bit different this weekend.

How I envision 7th SG (12 men)....

Blue Team 1- Team Leader (Grenadier), Autorifle, Demolitions
Blue Team 2- Team Leader (Marksman), Autorifle, AT

Red Team- Sniper, Spotter

Green Team- MG, Ammo Bearer

Squad Leader (Supports- CAS, Tansport, Artillery)

Medic

I would like to see us run the Blue Teams and the Red Team this weekend. (ie- I lead Blue 1, Chris leads Blue 2, and Mike leads Red, and leave Green, Squad Leader, and Medic out of it for now.)

This will open up more thing to us, as it is hard to plan too much for only three soldiers. Squad tactics and planning, overwatch, and so much more! Plus, it will look better for the streaming. I plan to go back and create a very casual video about why people should join us and what we are looking for, and I am going to use this footage.

I will be on about an hour early tonight, if anyone is interested in running some extra time. We missed you by four minutes last week Mike. lol (according to my Friends List, but that doesn't really seem overly accurate)

Here's that app you can use for making a permanent crosshair in the middle of your monitor if you are in windowed fullscreen mode. Just make a png that suits you in MS Paint and point the app at it.

Happy New Year Crew!

Last night was the best op yet! It felt good to be that elusive, yet deadly. Looking forward to the next one!

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ guys. Head tracking. I got a TrackIR 5 monitor mounted IR camera and Track Clip Pro for my headphones and it is AMAZING. Patrolling in the jungle in Arma 3, looking around freely while staying on heading. And the fixed wing, rotary and land vehicle driving is off the hook. In Arma 3 I can walk up to the corner of a building or door threshold and literally peek around it by leaning slightly in my chair and cocking my head sideways. With a 3 monitor setup it would be crazy. Been doing a bit of racing on Project Cars 2 and you can turn your head to look into the apex of a turn and adjust sooner, and more accurately. If you've ever thought about this tech, it's well worth it!

Looking forward to the ops tonight. I think a little death and destruction is just what the doc ordered.

I’m not dead. Things have been insane here. Hope to be back on next Monday.

Another great op last night. A lot of fun and we worked the stick and move, of course having helpful targets was nice. I have toned down the unit patch. It was just too bright. I am not sure if this is"it" yet, but it should be closer.

I am soooo ready to hit the AO tonight! Chris and I had a pretty successful run last night.We got overwhelmed once, but other than that, a lot of stick and move. Total night mission, NVGs and the whole nine yards.

That is what I am talking about! I think that was the most fun Ive had on Arma. Great teamwork, movement, it had it all. Looking forward to the next run!

Great running with Chris last night. We worked our way in slow and controlled, took out the enemy, and crashed the hell out of my computer! That is how you do it!

Good running last night. We were a little out of practice at first, but we kind of got back towards the end. Just couldn't find that ammo stash. Wish I wasn't fighting this killer headache all week, I would've been a little more vocal last night. Looking forward to next time.

Chris and I did some DRO Fallujah and were rocking it for about the first 2/3s, then ♥♥♥♥ got heavy. Could have used some backup. Looking forward to tonight!

No worries. I wasn’t planning on being on until tomorrow night anyway. :) Get well bro!

I have a slammin headache tonight, so I am crashing. Sorry. Maybe tomorrow.

I am going to be on tonight. Really looking forward to using DRO. They even have Unsung DROs!

So, with us moving back to port forwarding (instead of $20 for a server we don't need) I highly recommend we start using the Dynamic Recon Ops and Dynamic Combat Ops. Check them out on the workshop (tons of maps and locations). I think we should use this going forward. Also, probably not a bad idea to download all of the CUP mods as well (Units, Vehicles, and Weapons) as this will only add to the enemies we can face. I am very excited about using DRO and DCO, they even allow HALO drops!

Great time last night! It took a bit to get gonig, but in the end the compound was cleared. Looking forward to the next session.

I'm not going to be on this Friday. I got a busy weekend starting with helping my in-laws move, culminating with a class that I've been waiting all year on to get in to.

Been at it for 4 1/2 hours now, still can't get the server to play nice. I have to go outside and scare some birds.

Sorry guys, suddenly can't get on anything online. I am going to have to look at it, but it has been three hours or so and I am needing to move to something more relaxing. I will try to fix it tomorrow and be online then. Grrr....

There are 6 new mods on the list. RHS has incredible mods that will give us everything we could hope for to cover every kind of mission we can think of, it is a very impressive mod. There are two RHS mods, one for USA and one for USSR. There are also two ACE compat mods that allow us to use ACE with RHS mods. Lastly, there are the CUP Core and CUP Maps. These Community Upgrade Project mods will bring an impressive number of maps, in an array of environments, for us to run in and I am really excited to try out some new things.

I know I was hoping to reduce the amount of mods we use, and instead added two to our totals, but at least they are all on Steam, right?

ALL OF THESE MODS ARE MEATY, SO PLAN AHEAD!!!

Awesome. Just let me know what I need to add or delete!

I will be adjusting the Mod List to reflect our modern direction later today.

Man, I have been playing around with the SIG 556, and I have to say it is a remarkable weapon. It fires a 7.62, which packs a bit of a punch, but still gives very little kick. It is highly customizable, has several color variants for every environment, and does it all with a respectable weight. The only drawback would be a 20 round mag, but the load time is pretty quick, maybe slightly longer than an M16. Very happy with this weapon, and looking forward to lighting up the enemy with it. :)

That was a riot. If we are doing some more modern combat we should try a C-130 halo session if we can figure out the aircraft thing. If you use the BackpackOnChest mod you can put your main pack on your chest for the jump and then once you drop your parachute rig place it back on your back and have all of your gear.

Now that is the ♥♥♥♥ I was missing! Been a long week, but it felt good to get back out there sending bullets down range again! Looking forward to the next time.

I will be on tonight if anyone is interested in doing some Arma!
