Application for Spice
Hello hello!
- your call sign: "spice" is fine, but isn't any good callsign supposed to be assigned TO you rather than BY you? :)
- your age (must be over 18 years old) 38
- your type of internet connection and speed 15 up, 60 down I believe
- your timezone PST, UTC -7/-8
- your availability during the week and or weekends. Changes with work as I freelance, but usually about 25% on weekdays after 1900 and about 1/4 of weekend days.
- your approximate number of flight hours already spent on DCS A few hundred, about 2/3 of that in rotary wing. Took a big break of about a year until 2.5 recently came out.
- your knowledge level with the integrated DCS Mission Editor I understand the fundamentals enough to be endlessly frustrated with it, coming from Arma! Haven't made any significant missions but lots of little training things.
- your preferred chopper (you can love them all!) Ka-50/Gazelle. Have the Huey with few hours in. Don't have the Mi-8 mostly because I never had much reason to.
- your expectations w.r.t BSD. My experience in DCS so far has been limited to fairly casual flights with a buddy and a couple dozen hours on the big multiplayer server, none of which have really elevated my proficiency beyond a certain point. So while I'm somewhat confident in my basic flying ability, lexicon, and use of weapons systems, my exposure to comms/navigation systems/etc has been pretty low and my experience working in an experienced truly collaborative group has been too. I'd like to expand both of those things and learn a lot more! At the same time, being realistic with my time, I know there may be extended periods where I'm not able to put any time towards DCS, so I don't expect to catapult through the "ranks" or become a truly expert pilot. I'd like to meet some good folks with a baseline of competence and go from there!
