Recruitment

About the Group:

  • 11 TSG is an organization for Squadrons that come together to fly Campaigns and Missions that are made by members, for members. These Campaigns are typically story driven and the sorties are preceded by planning sessions.
  • We currently have about 10 active members, of a range of ages.
  • 11 TSG is built upon equal contribution. All active members are expected to contribute in some way. Mainly through mission making (Basic knowledge of the DCS Mission Editor is highly recommended), but also in other ways that keep the Group and Squadrons active.
  • Our ambition is to fly DCS in a realism oriented fashion and almost exclusively PvE/COOP, without any unnecessary MilSim fluff.
  • We welcome people that focus on one module as well as those who fly multiple.
  • Our main flight day is Fridays 20:30z (19:30z during DST) Duration is between 2-3 hours, normally
  • On Mondays (20:30z /19:30z during DST) we have our briefings for the coming Friday sortie. Duration around 1-2 hours.

Squadrons:

  • Each squadron have their own training day, however inline with other group activities, they start at (20:30z / 19:30z during DST).
  • For more information on our active Squadrons (aircraft flown, type of missions, training days…), check the following link.

Requirements and Expectations:

  • Module Requirements:
    • For Carrier Ops, we require the Super Carrier Module. (Carrier ops training is temporarily suspended)
    • Maps:
      • We fly a lot on the Persian Gulf and Syria maps and as of lately on Sinai map too. We do anticipate that the upcoming Afghanistan map will be highly popular too (If you don’t have these maps, you will have a hard time participating).

    • Mod/Addons required as they will be used for every mission
      • Tacview

    • We would prefer if potential recruits are already familiar with the aircraft they wish to fly in the group. Some level of competency that can be considered minimum consists of:
      • Perform cold start
      • Perform takeoffs and landings
      • Basic Waypoint or other NAVAIDs point to point navigation
      • Basic familiarity with aircraft weapon systems
  • Time Requirements:
    • There is a minimum attendance we require from our members so they can participate in all the activities. Unless stated otherwise, all events start at standard time (20:30z / 19:30z during DST)
      • Monday briefings (encouraged, but not mandatory, attendance unless you are the flight lead)

The Recruitment Process:

  1. We will contact you after we receive your application.
  2. An introduction meeting will be set up which will:
    • Explain the structure of the group and what is expected of you.
    • A Mentor will be appointed to you (usually the person doing your introduction).
  3. You will receive a mission file and the briefing for it.
    • Briefing will contain the list of all the tasks you will need to accomplish
    • Mission file will be already setup with the aircraft loadout and all navigation information you will need
    • Once you have completed the mission, you will be required to send us the track file and a Tacview file
    • After we have reviewed the files we will have another chat to discuss the results and answer all of the questions you might have. At the end of the chat, you will decide do you wish to continue the recruitment process.
  4. You will receive an invitation to our Discord server.
  5. You join as an APO (Aspiring Pilot Officer) in 1 SQN. From this moment on you are considered a Recruit.
    • The RTC-T (Recruit Training Course – Theory) introduces you to common procedures in the group. These are DCS-adjusted, real life (RAF/NATO) procedures to lay a baseline so everyone is on the same page during sorties.
    • To properly understand the RTC-T content, members of 1 SQN will fly training sessions to put the theory into practice.
    • When you graduate from the RTC-T you become an PO (Pilot Officer).
  6. Once a PO, you continue your training in 1SQN with more emphasis on flying portion to prepare for the RTC-P (Recruit Training Course – Practical) check-ride which focuses on General Airmanship.
    • Once the RTC-P check-ride has been completed, you will become a FO (Flying Officer)
  7. Once a FO, there is one last step to complete before you can join your SQN
    • Each aircraft flown in any SQN has a Combat Rating (CR) document which is a gameified list of things you need to be able to accomplish to be considered combat ready. It comes in three tiers: White, Green and Master Green
    • In order to be able to join your SQN, you need to reach CR White status
  8. Joining your SQN!
    • When you transfer to your SQN of choice you’ll continue your training, learning the aircraft specifics, flying as a member of a flight and gaining higher combat rating level
    • We have voluntary courses, for example Carrier Ops procedures, or FAC/CAS, if you want to broaden your knowledge base even further.
    • It’s allowed to be a member of multiple SQN’s, as long as you can fulfill the requirements in all of them.
    • It’s however strongly recommended that you fist get proficient with one aircraft in one SQN and then start to look around for more.
  9. To achieve the full voting Member status, the rank FLT LT (Flight Lieutenant) and above, you and your Mentor will need discuss possible contributions (not monetary).
    • The most common contribution is making a mission for a Friday sortie.
    • This progression is not needed for you to enjoy the group. As an FO you are considered a member of the group, but you have no vote in group matters. You don’t have to progress from this rank to FLT LT or above if you don’t want to.
