Hi folks,
892 Naval Air Squadron applicant checking in for some F-18 naval ops. I've pretty much loved military flying / aircraft since seeing Top Gun and playing US Navy Fighters as a kid. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Navy_Fighters
Have dipped in and out of sims over the years fairly casually but DCS has me hooked, wallet be damned. Modules I've purchased unwisely in sales and with no regrets:
Kit-wise, I'm using TrackIR but also have an opentrack rig, a Gladiator NXT Premium, MFG Crosswinds and I'm waiting patiently for a VKB throttle or until my modded Thrustmaster TWCS throttle dies. I have VR (HTC Vive) but tend not to fly with it as I can't tolerate the frame rate dip and the low resolution irks me. I'm fairly techy so if anyone needs computer or audio advice I'll happily give it where I can.
Looking forward to flying with a bunch of you some time SoonTM. I'm not going to be able to be massively active but I'm aiming for around 1 flight a week average (maybe a bit more to get through training!).

Re: Hello!
Thanks all.
Just flew a sortie with Duke, Gizzy, Alien and Boos, had a blast (Shack 1x SA-6, Splash 1x Mig-29 and KIA of course ), looking forward to more and getting in to the swing of things.
