    Hi charge 4,and thanks for coming to BSD!

    Excellent presentation and pretty fascinating career! I am sure our pilots will have tons of questions for you. 

    We are usually taking our new members for a spin on line to make sure they are at least comfortable with multi-player flight and of course to get to know each others. Nothing very serious. Don t worry. Then you ll be assigned an IP to make sure you are good with some basics described in our training program. At this point, you ll be most welcome to our combat missions, but trainings are opened to all no matter the level.

    Are you flying monitor/trackir or VR? What type of controls are you using? Do you have a headset with microphone? We are using simple radio for our comms. We ll help you set this up if you don t have it yet. It is free and awesome. 

    If you are found of mission design, we love you already! We have two missions designers here and a third one would definitively help to maintain a good level of activity for the squad

    Oh yes, we are flying DCS open Beta. Not the release version. You can have both on your computer if you want and if you have the space for this on your hdd. 

    I saw you are on Discord. Have a chat with any one of us to set up an intro flight. Can be anytime any day as long as you and the IP or UT is available.

    Awesome write up! Thanks for your service. 

    We have a lot of former and active military here as well.

    Next step is easy, we schedule a very informal flight on one of our servers just to BS and tell lies and get to know each other.

    The most we will do is some pattern work at the airfield and a quick flight around the area. That helps the Unit trainers or Instructor pilots to see where you are and what areas to work on.

    It is at you convenience and any UT or IP can get it going. If you feel we are a good fit for you and you like how it is going you will be moved to a trainee and gain access to more of the web site documents.

    Things such as our SOP and mods we use. Tasks for our RL2 and RL1 levels.

    You will have a Unit trainer assigned to you but you may fly with any UT or IP that is on line when you are to move up in the progression of our Readiness Level. 

    When you are free let us know and I will schedule a flight for you.

    BK

    You'll get access to the library after your intro flight and IP assessment. Mods are standardized in BSD. Everyone must have the BSD mods packs installed properly for the missions to load. There are regular updates to the mods packs (one coming tonight). We have a repository that one can use with OvGME to make it simple for everyone.
