FC3 Virtual Squadrons

[-Ice]

I'm not a big fan of flying offline and only do so for "testing" purposes and getting a bit of a handle on the aircraft.

 

I now know how to do basic navigation and have had a poke at A-G. I am looking for a virtual squadron that flies FC3, flies the SU-27 or SU-33 jets in particular (maybe the MiG too, but that's for later), and is ideally based in Europe as I'm in the UK.

 

Please post here if your squadron fits my description, but it also might be a good idea to post here even if your squadron doesn't... shall we make a list of FC3 virtual squadrons?

 

If possible, including the following info would help others find their FC3 squadron of choice:

 

1. Squadron name and website link

2. Primary jets flown

3. Member base - EU, East/West Coast USA, Asia

4. Requirements for membership application

5. Offering training (Y/N)

6. Dedicated/Personal severs

7. Usual flight times (if you have any) or pickup flights

8. Person to contact for interested applicants

 

 

Thanks!

Aha! Thanks for pointing that out.

 

EDIT: Noticed some/most of the posts are a few years old. So I am still looking for an active FC3 squadron hopefully located in EU.

159th GAR maybe? Uk-based, their site says they are still flying with FC2, until the release of FC3, but I think it's just outdated. here there is the current organization of the vGroup.

Aye, the 159th Guards Aviation Regiment is currently operating FC3 and other modules with 5 Wings. SW flies the Su-25 T Frogfoot and SU-25 Grach, and provides a precision attack capability, both day and night and SEAD support to 159th operations. FW continues to operate the Su-33, supported by the SU-27 and is tasked to provide CAP top cover & force protection to attached assets during 159th operations. AW brings with it a concealable attack platform in the Kamov Ka-50 together with the A-10C. One that can sneak in and either do FAC for SW or provide its own pin-point attack capability against multiple target types. The Aggressors Wing operates the Mig-29 and F-15 and plays an integral role in supporting 159th Fighter operations as well as providing DACT for the 159th.

 

Not mentioned is the 217th Motor Rifle Brigade, our Combined Arms contingent, tasked with providing real-time Command And Control of all elements of the 159th Ground Forces during all 159th Operational activities, said Command and Control function is to include, but not be limited to, Ground Commander, GCI, ATC, FAC and, where necessary, performing said roles for the OPFOR coalition to provide real-time, human-controlled strategic ground-and-air-force opposition to the Regiment and it's activities.

 

The 217th Wolverines form part of the Auxiliary Wing.

 

Member base is Worldwide with flights at 20h00 BST Thursdays and Sundays and 20h00 CST on Wednesdays.

 

Requirements for membership: 18 minimum age and a healthy sense of humour.

 

Training provided as needed. Dedicated server on a 100MB/100MB Line. Recruitment via Recruitment forum on 159th main Forums.

I was around 5-6 hours at the 159th server, the last time I jump in, managing a two pronged assault on Krasnodar AB. I laughed when some b.l.o.o.d.y. b... manage to destroy the southern bridges, delaying the maneuver, only to my vanguard get slowly eroded on the frontal advance at West Krasnodar city and plains. Big fun.
