Welcome to the TAW Digital Combat Simulator!     
 We are a community of combat simulator pilots, dedicated to having  loads of fun while trying to simulate being a combat pilot at an  extremely high level. We fly as a team, train as a team and improve our  skills on a daily basis to be ready for the most realistic air combat  experience a simulator pilot can achieve.    
 Digital Combat Simulator by Eagle Dynamics is by far the most  comprehensive and realistic simulator on the public market, WE LOVE  IT!!!! Thank you Eagle Dynamics for your time and effort into this  simulator and your continuing development. We fly fighters, strikers and  helicopters and have different squadrons setup in our fighting wing  division. The main aircraft we fly are the F-15C, SU-27, A-10C, SU-25T,  KA-50, UH-1H, and all upcoming fully clickable modern aircraft.   
    
 We have divided our squadrons into smaller 'fireteams' who are at a  maximum of 6 pilots per team, with a fireteam leader to coordinate all  its members. We have a command structure, similar to the USMC, in order  to have people fulfill responsibilities to make the lives of our pilots  within TAW as much fun as possible. Of course everybody is just as much  responsible to create a great environment, where we simulate air combat  as a team.   
 This is a place where you can go to if you like to meet possible new friends with the same level of interest in air combat.   
 We have very skilled instructors to train for tactics, systems  knowledge, brevity (radio communication) and piloting skills. These guys  have loads of experience in all fields of DCS and have proven  themselves worthy instructors by dedicating time and effort for the TAW  DCS community. When a new member wants to join, we do expect this pilot  to have at least basic pilot skills and systems knowledge. It is nearly  impossible for our instructors to teach every single person the basics,  which should easily be learned by reading the manual and doing some  searches on the Internet and following all the training sections that  DCS itself provides. You have to have a form of discipline in order to  be a simulator pilot and be willing to put time and effort into this,  not just by asking around, but by reading and understanding the  plane/helicopter you want to fly.   
  
   
 We have one mandatory event per week on Sunday evenings 18:45Z for  the European Division (19:45CET GMT+1) and 8:00PM Eastern Standard Time  for the North American Division. Unfortunately, due to the time zone  difference it is impossible to align these events for Europe and North  America, so we have separate events for these sides of the world. These  events will take approximately 1.5 hours with a briefing before and a  debrief afterwards.   
 We ask of all pilots to be present at least 50% of the mandatory  Sunday events per month. We have several optional trainings planned  every week and you are free to attend at any time. Other than that, the  fireteams fly together as much as possible so they become one  magnificent oiled war machine! We attend different annual combat  competitions as both TAW DCS and also the smaller individual fireteams  as well, but always representing TAW DCS.
