BSD looking for US rotorheads!

Hi all,

It's been a challenge for some time now to find a squad based in the US (or more generally in the GMT-5/-6/-7 time zones) that is not flying A10C, and even harder to find a group of DCS pilots interested in rotary wings willing to regularly fly coop missions during normal non business hours (evenings weekdays) within a structured/adult group.

So I setup this group (I am not really calling this a squad) and see if this can help bringing together this very rare breed of pilots in this part of the World. Great coop missions can start with as little as 3 or 4 pilots!

Check out :

Now this looks right up my alley! Will be in touch. East Coast US here as well. I am nowhere near a pro in any of the helos, but am a fast learner. And have been considering looking for a "squadron" to fly with. And I do lean towards the KA-50/Mi-8. But the Hip and its VRS have been giving me troubles lately. Will get better with time.

Great! Looking forward to hear from you. Mi8 is one of the best DCS module actually. It does not appeal to the average pilot because it lacks firepower and is really complex to fly (more than the ka50) . It is very satisfying to master this aircraft.

I will fly with you, I am in Central Time zone

Give a ring when you need more copters. We focus on MiG but are also expanding a niche in CSAR. Our forums are below.

Good stuff viperdogsnake. Once we are getting a small operational group, let's do intersquad co-op operations with mi21 air superiority!

We're well versed in Mi8 aswell.

Sounds like you're wanting to do what TAW does. We have a mandatory every Sunday at 8 PM EST. Don't always do co-op, but I'd say it's about 90%. This past Sunday I and 3 other rotor heads tried to capture Nal'chk.

You should hit us up at the event time. I'm sure the rest of the boys wouldn't mind having additional chaps to fly with.

Me personally, I find co-op fun, but I like fighting over a contested area against human opponents best. Blueflag everyday all day when it's running!

im for anything coop. have to put my monitors back together..

I don't fly the 8 but I do fly both the shark and the Huey:joystick: drop me a line..lol I'll fly with you guys.

Looks interesting. I'm half decent with the Huey but not much more than novice with the Ka-50.

Guys. We are having an introduction Flight tomorrow night (friday). Come and register on http://www.blacksharkden.com and we 'll start to see how we can kick off some nice co-op chopper missions together!

Thanks for the invitation BodyOrgan.

Well, weekends is not the best for me as it takes on the family time. Flying on weekdays night when everybody is sleeping makes me feel less guilty. :closedeyes::joystick:

The BSD site is pretty much focused on DCS rotaries so it is really a very small subset of what TAW is doing overall.

I kinda like coop flight and not much pvp, unless there are some CA guys to make the ground units behaving more realistically.

If we can get BSD with three or four well trained pilots, why not dropping off some day at one of you guys sessions?

Got 7 pilots registering in just one week. That's really awesome. But there is plenty of room for more. Come and have a look.

I'm East coast, a Black shark pilot (off line for three years now) but now looking to do something online. I'd say I'm still a noob at it. I can cold start it fast, fly it, land it and use the weapons but I lack the on line knowledge needed in DCS world. I need to fly with other rotor heads to learn. Let me know if you're willing to take a sort of noobie into your group.

Keep it up, they're out there. Learning that myself.

Well, it seems like you got the basics. The online part, well you just need to know how to use Teamspeak and we'll let you know everything else!

Looking forward to see you flying with us!

US East Coast Ka-50 pilot here, will check out the Den. looking for others who may be interested in flying online campaigns such as BuddySpike Blue Flag 6. I did BlueFlag 5 but was solo most of the time as not many rotorheads on TS when I was up.

Hi windweapon!

Waiting for you on BSD!

So I am trying to get back into the Black Shark and wouldn't mind flying with others. I am also pretty proficient in the Huey not so much for the Gazelle or the Hip but as long as it has rotors I can probably fly it.:smilewink:

Soooo, what are you waiting for?:smilewink:

Is teh BSD folks willing to join in Operations hosted by other squads?

We have about 5 Huey pilots and Gazelle that fly our missions. I want to do some Air Assault missions with human controlled CA.

Well, we have more than 15 pilots registered today so you probably should all join too! :)

Just registered looking forward to flying with you guys
