Hi all, I'm launching a new virtual squadron project focused on realism in fast jet flying training, inspired by publicly available RAF and NATO training materials. The idea is to replicate core elements of the military flying training pipeline—from foundational techniques to advanced tactical skills—without the use of virtual ranks, fictional hierarchies, or unnecessary structure. The goal is to provide a realistic and immersive flying experience, built around progressive training phases: Phase 1 – Core Flying Skills Platform: T-45 (free mod) Focus: Flying techniques and precision handling Stalls, turns, circuits, unusual attitudes IFR and VFR navigation Timed dead reckoning and low-level nav Instrument flying and recovery procedure Phase 2 – Tactical Phase Platform: T-45 (representing the Hawk T2) Focus: Tactical training Air-to-air combat (BVR, BFM) Basic weapons employment Tactical formations and comms Surface attack and range profiles Phase 3 – OCU (Operational Conversion Unit) After completing the training phases, pilots will progress onto frontline platforms. Our initial focus will be on the F-4 Phantom and F/A-18 Hornet(waiting for typhoon and f35 ), but other airframes are welcome depending on pilot preference and availability. The OCU will bridge training into operational flying, focusing on type-specific tactics, procedures, and combat operations. This is a new initiative, so I’m looking for fellow enthusiasts, instructors, or mission builders who’d like to help shape and develop this into something meaningful. Whether you’re a student pilot, a seasoned DCS flyer, or just passionate about realism and structure, your input is welcome. If you’re interested in helping build or fly within this realistic training-focused community, please reach out by sending me a message or just responding to this post. We have already started work on it—it just needs continuing. Thanks! PS: We don’t use any Hawk mod; it is the T-45.
