The Digital Coalition Air Force (DCAF) is pleased to announce that it is opening recruitment once again. Sharpen your skills and get the best out of what DCS has to offer. We are currently doing selection for controllers (whether ATC, GCI/ABM, JTAC/FAC), F-15E Strike Eagle, F-16C Viper, and F/A-18C Hornet. DCAF is a organised and academic milsim group with most of its community based in the EU. We pride ourselves on our structured online training curriculum, instructors, and the ops that we offer. Presently, we alternate between a training and operations season, the former is used to train new cadets to the required squadron standard, and for current members to stay current. We undertake this rigorous training program to ensure that all our members meet the standards required for operations, getting the best experience from the immersive scenarios our mission makers create. Our times: During training seasons we fly as a group every Thursday 1830GMT/BST with individual squadron training happening on Tuesdays or over the weekends. It is a minimum requirement to regularly attend every Thursday, and dependent on some roles, attend twice a week due to instructor workload and meaningful progression. During operations seasons we alternate weeks between planning/practice and executing the missions where the minimum attendance requirement is at least twice a month. Our squadrons: (v)RAAF No.75 Squadron 'Magpies' - F/A-18C Hornet No.75 Squadron is DCAF's newest addition to the line-up with the ambition to provide unparalleled versatility and multirole capability to operations. Commitment, tenacity, and self-improvement are core values to our squadron's culture. After completing our comprehensive training program, you'll be adept at roles ranging from CAP against 4th generation threats in BVR or WVR, to low-level strike and aerial interdiction against the toughest of targets - regardless of the environment or conditions. Join the Magpies and learn to seek and strike. (v)USAF 119th ‘Jersey Devils’ - F-16C Viper 119th 'Jersey Devil's is DCAF's dedicated "Wild Weasels", specializing in hunting and killing enemy SAMs and SHORAD systems, clearing a path for the other squadrons. We are looking for pilots that accept high risk, that are flexible and able to solve problems fast and creatively as they pop up. We are usually first in and last to leave, and we rely on our own ability to defend against air and ground threats alike! If you like fast and dynamic problem solving, and love flying the "racing model" of all airframes, then you might have what it takes to be a Devil! (v)USAF 335th ‘Chiefs’ - F-15E Strike Eagle The 335th ‘Chiefs’ is DCAF’s premier air-to-air squadron, traditionally focused on advanced fighter tactics and air superiority. With the introduction of the F-15E Strike Eagle, the Chiefs have embraced its multirole capabilities, expanding their legacy of precision air combat into the strike domain. Thanks to the F100-PW-229 engines, APG-70 radar, and heavy load capacity, the Strike Eagle allows our pilots to stay on station longer, fly higher, and strike harder than any other platform in DCAF’s roster. If you are interested in rigorous training, mastering both air-to-air and air-to-ground operations, and getting the best out of what DCS has to offer, this is the squadron for you. By the end of your training, you will be able to operate effectively in a flight, execute four-ship tactical formations (TACFORM), and conduct Beyond Visuals Range (BVR) engagements in any weather or time of day – all without datalink. You will be trained in both Defensive and Offensive Counter Air (DCA/OCA) fundamentals to tailor the squadron’s air-to-air tasking to any mission scenario, including Air Combat Maneuvering (ACM) execution and air to air refueling (AAR) - day or night. Beyond air combat, you will also learn to employ the Strike Eagle’s unique precision strike capability – from JDAM and LGB missions to low-level ingress and pop-up attacks at night in hostile airspace. The 335th blends traditional air superiority doctrine with modern strike tactics, making our pilots adaptable, effective, and ready for any tasking. If you’re looking for structure, challenge, and camaraderie – the Chiefs are waiting for you. Wampum! Combined Controller and Support Wings: DCAF started as a place to practice radio telephony with real-life procedures and continues to do so. Air Traffic Controllers and Aerospace Battle Managers are a mainstay in our operations, providing a great setting for both experienced and aspiring controllers to hone their skills. We are accessible for those looking to see what it takes to run our air operations (whether you're freelancing in the DCS community or a military/commercial professional). Our Support Wing helps deliver an immersive experience for DCAF's operations (role playing, logistics, and other supernumery roles). We provide FREE licences for LotAtc on our servers for both members and guests. Simple Radio Standalone is used for radio communications, with Combined Arms being required for ground roles. How to apply: APPLICATION FORM If you are interested in joining, please apply using the above link, then join our Discord (feel free to use the @Recruitment Officer tag in the new-members-chat to ask any questions). Successful applicants will be invited for an introductory talk. Due to some roles being competitive, checkrides are given to select the appropriate candidates, these steps will be laid out by your Recruitment Officer. It is a good idea to be familiar with the module that you are applying for (i.e. ability to air to air refuel and understand basic combat systems), as these will be assessed. Due to the nature of our training and operations seasons, you should be confident that at least the first 6 months will generally be free for you to attend (holidays, annual leave etc. of course are absolutely fine). Ideally, candidates who will have a predictable schedule for the next year are preferred. We look forward to hearing from you and seeing you on the training season, DCAF Recruitment Team https://discord.com/invite/F94F4FUsXG https://dcafoc.wixsite.com/home

After the last update to DCS, in all eras, with all planes (modern, gold war, ww2), as a client, while you put them in the airports in the ROUTE tab in TYPE in any position that is "hot" and in single player it plays fine, in multiplayer games it always puts them "cold".

[Original threat lost, apologies!] Situational Overview Following a REDFOR insurgency post the Falklands war, a new Caudillo has taken over larger parts of the southern tip of South America. BLUEFOR has been tasked to sweep the RED zones South to North and re-establish the previous order. USMC has landed close to Ushuaia and Port Willams and has established a bridgehead. The HMS Invincible provides protection in the channel, the USS Forrestal is crusing east of the mainland. CAP operations has been established from Ushuaia and CTLD/CSAR helicopter operations from Ushuaia Helo Port and FARP London. USMC SOF have been inserted deep into the Phase-One-Zone Rio Grande and provide target information and target markers. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3328279/ Background This late cold-war mission is set on the South-Atlantic/Falkland maps. Sound output leverages Text-To-Speech-Generation(TTS) via SRS, best via Google (own account needed) or Windows Desktop (far less voices). For SRS-TTS to work on your PC, consult this guide: https://github.com/FlightControl-Master/MOOSE_GUIDES/blob/master/documents/Moose TTS Setup Guide.pdf Before running, you need to setup the SRS and Load/Save paths correctly to match your system and/or server, and create a folder for persistence. Read and follow the instructions in the README.txt file on how to do that!

This is to protect younger members from potentially distressing material related with warfare discussions. The age of 18 Years of Age has been selected as it is a generally agreed upon age of Adulthood and self determining legal consent (particularly in the EU, UK and USA). Members younger than 18 Years of Age may apply, but will not be considered for application until after their 18th Birthday. Members that are later found to have lied about their age and stated that they were older than 18 Years of Age in their application, or at the time of joining, when they were in fact younger, will be removed from the DCAF and their application to join will not be considered in the future.

A flyover has been requested by Las Vegas Speedway this weekend and your unit has been tasked with performing the show. Use the ToS/ToT feature and on your jet, communication and timing skills to perform a precise flyover for the National Anthem. This is a great way to train for Time on Target missions, or for those who love airshow flying. - Perform a precise flyover for the National Anthem at Las Vegas Speedway. - Fly either an F-18c or F-16c_50 - Approx. time: 25min (you'll spend about 10-15min holding and turning circles if you get up in the air too fast. This is designed to help people get into formation/position) - Practice holding in a position to wait for the ToT/ToS call. Try to maintain 45-60sec turns. - Fly either A 4-ship formation where your Lead is the only one concerned with ToT/ToS Or fly to separate waypoints and meet up over the center of the stadium at the exact time. - Communicate with your wingmen to deconflict altitude. The stadium already as fireworks and doesn't need more. - Don't rely on the carrot symbol on your HUD, but follow your directed Ground Speed to be more accurate. NOTE: This mission was made using Hasard Lee's youtube video "How Flyovers Work" as reference. I am not an actual pilot. Any comments/suggestions welcome. Thanks!
