Hi All,
My name is Nathan . I live in S Florida. I am a flight instructor/ Corporate pilot IRL. I have been flying the UH-1 in DCS for a while and fly RC helicopters as well. I own Squadron Ops Sim Center in South Florida. a combat flight simulation center.

Look forward to flying with you ( my username is SOSCFLSim5.. on multiplayer.. if you can change that let me know... I would love to change it)

Thanks

Nate

Welcome to the 229th Nate, glad you have found us.  Looking forward to flying with you.

outstanding I cant wait.

Trying to get a hold of our fearless leader =) They can bump you up and give you an acceptance letter and take care of the red tape.  What is your playtime looking like?

Awesome, I went to your website.  Intense.  I wouldn't mind owning a place like that.  I see there is one in Wheeling, Illinois as well.  Kind of intrigued on how to get started on something like that.

Welcome to the 229th Nathan! That's a nice resume. Glad to know you Sir.

IIRC you can change your DCS player name in the top right of the multiplayer menu.

Cool, thanks. The wheeling location closed unfortunately.. I have to update the website.... they are available for corporate events and parties though

Play time... different every day. but I play often

in the real world. I fly the Phenom 100, TBM-850 and the Cirrus SR line of aircraft. Saving for a new RC heli too lol.. my last one had a cyclic servo fail.... it didnt end well

Hey Nathan, welcome to the 229th.

Hey Nathan,

Welcome!

As mentioned, impressive site! A friend of mine (member of our LAN group here in the Twin Cities area) owned this for many years (had my son's 10th birthday party here...and he's now 30, and an active duty Captain in the Army! Lol...)

Sadly, A.C.E.S. closed their doors in the Mall of America a few months ago. Not exactly sure why, but I do know that the owner has branched into the "education world" of aviation (and flight simulations) with contracts with various high schools. Sounds intriguing....maybe shaping the future generation of F-35 pilots.

BTW...how do you like the Phenom 100. My only biz-jet time was many (many) moons ago in a Learjet. Loved it.

Again, welcome. Looking forward to meeting you online!

I was familiar with ACES... not sure why they closed either. I never had a chance to check them out... oh well

The Phenom is awesome. Amazing airplane

Welcome aboard, Nathan.  Cool to see another RC helicopter pilot.   Here's a pic of my 600-size Blackhawk taken last Saturday at a fun-fly here:

Welcome to the group Nathan...awesome to see another helicopter pilot enlist. Your knowledge will be a valuable asset to the group.

Welcome! That looks like a cool business you run. Look forward to seeing you in the sever

Did part of my checkride today... was a blast.. up to step 6 I believe. Can't wait to finish it!

Yes mate, keep practicing those circuits, there is some formation flying and the section on identifying and landing at a LZ
