Well, let's introduce myself :)
I've only just discovered flight sims and I really like it!
I used to sim using Iracing and I got a rift for that and I really liked it!
I do have a military background, from 2002 till 2012 I flew as a Flight Engineer/Loadmaster on dutch Chinooks logging a little under 2000 hrs and with 4 tours in Afghanistan. I used to look at combat flight sims from a distance thinking they'd look too much like work. But once I tried DCS with the rift I really loved it!
I'm enjoying the A-10c right now as I've always had a sweet spot for that plane and when they flew out of Kandahar they looked awesome and at night you could hear the GAU runs as they practiced on the range.
So far I'm really enjoying the technical systems and how little details such as the sound the A/C sound on batt power remind me of the Chinook.
And maybe because it's been a few years, but I really like learning all the systems and re-learning a lot of the tactical stuff.
Well, that's me :)

P.s. Pyle used to be my callsign because once when we were at Tarin Kowt and some of us were watching Full Metal Jacket and just at the moment Pvt Pyle was in the picture I walked in with a freshly shaven head...and well...you know how it goes :)
