TAW.NET Is looking for some Pilots!

[WesLoeffler]

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.

We are still looking for some Pilot's to fly with us!

A couple of questions:

 

Do you ever hold events where non-members can participate....get a feel for how missions are conducted? Last year, as a non-member I participated in the Black Shark training which was excellent.

 

Do you ever use live ATC/AWACS, etc?

[flycats2]

What kind of radio simulator do you use interacting with TS3 & DCS, Aries, UniverseRadio, etc? Also what map are you using - Caucasus, NTTR, or both for your mandatory Sunday missions?

Yes we are holding live events, last the Top Gun event. We also have some Training Instructors that have invited to open training sessions like the Ka-50 but that have been off the table lately. I will check if someone can take on this again, tanks for asking.

 

We have a project going for ATC and have had a few internal events covering the ATC. We will continue this work. We are also looking to host live AWACS/JATC using LotATC but have not gotten there yet. We are going to continue that work also.

We have tried out several radio mods and for now use the Simple Radio MOD by Ciribob but it is all at a testing stage on our public teamspeak.

 

We have two dedicated servers running 1.5 and 2.0, so both Caucasus and Nevada.

 

You will find information about our dedicated servers and a link to response feedback from players here:

Just stumbled across this, how did you find the DCS-SimpleRadio, did it work ok? Any issues or requests?

[HiJack]

The team have tested but I'm not sure of the result. I will check the upcoming weekend and make sure you get a response from us Ciribob. Thank you.

Thanks HiJack!

My main ride for 2 or 3 years was only the Ka-50, though lately I am distracted with the WWII era German side planes and mission.

 

What I like, and rarely find, is, two sides like Blue vs Red and mission objectives to an end of one side wins over the other as a team thing.

 

Like 104th server I can fly Ka-50 to kill points at various waypoints, but it just concerns the Ka-50 while the jet jocks are dogfighting each other.

 

The Dogs of War server guys (WWII era) do mission objectives Blue vs Red.

 

I used to fly the Ka-50 in the same scenario with Cooper and Devilman on his Tasmanian server but I have not found their server up since the 2.0 Alpha started up. Most likely I am not on when they are.

 

I will stop by with my copter and see what you guys are doing.

no need to stop. I'm working on something like blueflag but in a smaller scale. If you pair up with a transport chopper, you will be able to have a massive impact on mission outcome.

 

in the meanwhile, blueflag sounds like what you are looking for! There is actually a lack of effective Ka50 pilots on the red side.

 

it starts tomorrow, here's more info: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=160525 (make sure you read all the info to max your gameplay experience!)
