Hi

Real name is Marc and have decided to use the username, ' (B/229)BuckarooUK.' That's an indication of how old I am, if anyone remembers the flightsim, Fighter Bomber. I've since been away from flight simulators for about 20 years. Where did the years go?

Anyway, I'm sitting the Virus out at my home in Scotland, UK and stumbled across DCS by accident. I've since installed it on my PC and purchased all 4 helicopter modules, although my favourite has to be the UH-1, due to the absence of a Chinook, Wessex or Sea King. Please, please, please....fingers crossed .

My search for like minded folks who share my interest in rotary wing aircraft and hopefully assist me in learning to fly these simulations, leads me here. I've persevered with the Huey, I've completed the basic training lessons and can just about get her up and usually down without killing myself. My flights are not so much smooth as resembling an epileptic having a fit!

Thanks

Hello (B/229) BuckarooUK, welcome to the 229th. You’ll find all the guys here very friendly and super helpful so I’m sure you’ll definitely have a great time here at the 229th.

Look forward to having a fly with you very soon mate,

Ava Good’n, John (A.K.A. Space Cadet, 229th C Co. Commander Australia)

And by monitoring this page very closely he means I hardly ever check it so Space bullies me on Discord until I do lol.

Welcome BuckarooUK!
