Overview
About this Squadron
Welcome to the 588th Fighter Aviation Regiment (588-Й Истребительный Авиационный Полк), Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS RUSSIA - ВKС РОССИИ). We are a casual combat flight simulation community, designed primarily for DCS players who specialize in 4th generation Soviet/Russian fighters.
The 588th is a socialist organization, and we aim to provide a safe space for leftist and anti-fascist DCS pilots, as well as anyone else who wishes to be part of the community. Anyone may join and hang out, even if they don’t play DCS. We welcome friends, family, aviation enthusiasts, players from other games, etc. That said, if one wishes to participate in 588th operations in DCS, they are expected to be invested in a required module and proper equipment (more info is available under the “rules” channel.)
As of November, 2023, the 588th now solely operates the MiG-29S Fulcrum C, the Su-27 Flanker B, and the Su-30SM Flanker C by CODENAME.
Alden “Squid” Friend is the Regiment Commander, however we consider our authority to be horizontal. The 588th is a faithful, one to one virtual recreation of a modern Russian Aviation Regiment, aside from the fact that we don’t have a command structure. We are very laid back and there aren’t any scheduled flights or strict requirements for joining. If you wish to fly with us in DCS, but you are not yet invested in a required module, or if you do have access to a required module and don’t know how to operate it just yet, simply communicate this with us and we will walk you through the learning process step by step.
