Overview

We are a virtual squadron that uses Eagle Dynamic's Digital Combat Simulator to emulate Groupe de Chasse 1/30 “Alsace”, a former combat unit of the French Air Force. The squadron is in direct lineage with the FAFL "Alsace" fighter group, formed in 1943 by Commandant René Mouchotte. We will honour and represent with dignity the tradition of this legendary squadron. We will be flying on the Spitfire, Mirage 2000C, Mirage F-1CT and Mirage F-1B sticking as closely as possible within the framework of the simulation and the constraints of using a flight combat simulation as well as maintaining a robust library of documents and procedures taken from the French air Force. The majority of our flight operations will consist of training, weekly mission flights, and mid- to long-term campaigns that will take place in the Persian Gulf map, Syria, Normandie, Channel as well as the Caucasus map. Unlike some other virtual squadrons, we consider ourselves more of a military simulation, or "MILSIM," group than a simple combat flight simulation wing or other more casual simulation group. Our flying is heavily dependent upon real world procedures, and specific radio procedures, communications, and discipline is important to what we do. Like any online community our members come from all walks of life and we enjoy having a good time, but when we're in the virtual skies we take what we are doing seriously.
