Unless you have an active cooling system on a FLIR imaging system you aren't going to see past 600-700 meters. What you are going to see on a weapon mounted FLIR at 700+ meters is MAYBE a pixel or 3 wide. If you cannot acquire a target without a white hot image on a thermal scope, MAYBE you should take your "booty" back to COD where it's easy to acquire a target...but what would I know? I've only been working with thermal imaging systems real life for 8 years...

Great stuff, guys. Looking forward to trying this out with our guys ASAP.

That is absolutely amazing. You have done an excellent job, thus far.

I read through this entire thing, pretty much from start to finish. I read input from developers, server administrators like myself, public players, new comers, old goats High School forum moderators...how they got that job I dont know...but the one thing I didn't see was what I would have expected from a community that is so small and should be closer knit...a way forward. Everyone swallow your pride and charlie mike. If you have the knowledge to fix the things (Im thinking sickboy, GLT and Xeno on this one) fix it! You guys are doing great things for this community. You dont have to answer to anyone... If you run servers, do your best to make them available. I know my servers ALWAYS have administrators ON and AVAILABLE. Yes, we run domination, but we run more than one server instance. We run Invasion '44 servers, ACE and ACRE servers, Insurgency Servers, Vanilla Domination servers...I do that to make sure that anyone that wants to play will have the ability to do so. If you are a public player...you have to put forth the effort to get into the server as well. You cant just hop into the forums hear and gripe about how bad the game sucks because it took you 15 minutes to download a mod to get into a server. If you get into a server, especially one of mine, I can guarantee that your idea of teamplay and tactics...and probably this game as a whole, would change immensely.

Ran this on our server last night. DooACS detected and removed 3 would be hackers. Great job, Dolittle! Sent you a PM with a couple of questions. Thank you in advance!

This is excellent! Great job

Yeah, very sorry about that, Jsmuk. We were having some issues with bandwidth settings on the server. It is all fixed now. Please feel free to give it a try again. The Chinook thing is going to be fixed in our next update. It only works half of the time. If you get stuck in the chinook, please just respawn and it will place you at base.

Task Force Blackjack, with permission from Pogoman, has been continually updating and releasing new versions of Insurgency to be play tested on our servers before release.

I would like to extend the invitation to the community to come try it out! I think you will be pleasantly surprised with what we have come up with!

Great job, man. These look great! I'm sure it's good to see your hard work and dedication finally come to fruition.

At Task Force Blackjack, we strive to have the most immersive and tactical gameplay as possible. We have decided to extend our unit's capabilities by launching a Special Forces Company and a new and Improved Air Wing. The Air wing is headed up by real life pilots who both know the lingo, and can train new pilots how to be an effective attack or air transport pilot. The ability of these leaders to do this sets us apart from other units. Our new special forces teams teach stealth, recon, Forward Air and Observation controls, and many other types of "alternative" tactics. This company has a very high wash out rate, and we only accept applications from those who are top notch. If any of this sounds like something you might want to be a part of, please visit our website at www.tf-blackjack.com or come chat with us via teamspeak 3 at blackjack.teamspeakcp.com port 7410 We are always recruiting players who are looking for large scale operations. We offer many large operations within our unit. We look forward to having you!

bump for update!

Task Force Black Jack is currently in need of 2 EXPERIENCED Pilots. You don't have to know terminology, but you must know proper procedures in takeoff, landing, formation flying and so on. If you would like to schedule an interview, and take our flight test please check out our website at www.tf-blackjack.com We require that our pilots be active and outstanding members of our community. We are a high tempo unit, we are actively engaged in operations with the JSOC community as well as our own training and mission schedule. If you cannot devote at least 3 days a week, please do not apply. Your flight skills will be tested for duties as a Heavy Lift (CH-53, 46, and Chinook) pilot and/or Close Air Support Fixed Wing pilot. You MUST BE the best of the best, because people will be depending on your success. After your successful completion of the test, you will be trained by our REAL LIFE pilots in proper air procedures. We are also looking for those who may be interested in artillery. We are starting up our artillery company. If you are interested, check out our website listed above. We are ALWAYS recruiting those interested in infantry and armor. Hope to see those interested soon.

I would like to invite members of the Arma2 community to partake in a LARGE public coop event taking place in our server tonight.

For more information on the Joint Special Operations Command, check out their website located at www.jsoc-gamer.org The server is located at 206.123.94.106 or you can put TASK into the Filter.
