NIGHTHAWK1 Posted November 2, 2023 Posted November 2, 2023 REALLY REALLY REALLY cool mission. Put a lump in my throat and almost made me cry. Particularly because of what is actually going on right now. It took me a few tries to complete but I finally got the greeting committee. Funest mission I have flown in DCS and I have over 120 hours of stick time in the Apache. Keep up the amazing good work. Hope you do more. THANK YOU 1 I-9 12900K, RTX 3090, 64 GB, 2TB SSD, Oculus Quest 2, Win 11, Winwing Orion F-16EX Stick, F-18 dual throttle, Thrustmaster TPR pedals.

THANK YOU First of all, apologies for the late reply, somehow I did not receive a notification. And thanks so much for this awesome feedback, it means a lot to me. When I made the mission last summer, never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that the whole setting would become realistic. 2 Modules/maps: all, except for the Dora My missions: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/filter/user-is-Don rudi/apply/ Primary system: i7-13700k, RTX 4080, 32 GB, Win 11, Virpil WarBRD + Constellation Alpha with 5cm extension, Virpil CM2 throttle, Virpil Ace Interceptor pedals, Virpil Rotor TCS base + Blackshark grip, Winwing Triple MFD and ICP, Virpil panel 3, 34" UWHQD screen Secondary system: Acer Nitro 5, i7-12700h, RTX 4060, 32 GB, Win 11, Virpil Rotor TCS base + Blackhawk grip, Virpil Ace Torq pedals, WinWing Viper Ace EXII stick, WinWing Strike Ace EXII throttle, WinWing PTO 2 panel 34" UWHQD screen
KeyserSoze62 Posted February 26, 2024 Posted February 26, 2024 This mission remains one of my most replayed missions. When I just feel like getting in the Apache this is my go to. Looking forward to more from @Don Rudi. 1 1

I am working on a mission for the Gazelle currently (maybe two). What'd be interesting to me, what makes this mission (Operation Horizon) better or more enjoyable than it's predecessors Operation Hellenic Dawn and Operation David's Trident? Horizon has much awesome feedback compared to Hellenic Dawn for instance, but just half the downloads, which leaves me a little clueless.

Hellenic Dawn was released much sooner when Apache launched and people were still hungry for Apache missions. Horizon was after the initial hype and also right when F-15 launched if I recall correctly. So the feedback on Horizon is from the more dedicated Apache flyers and the previous missions were just everyone downloading to try. Sinai is also just a wonderful map as well. That's my humble opinion. Keep them coming good sir. 1
