New application Appie
My application
Hello
My name is Albert (Appie) van der Heide.
I am a Dutchman from Amsterdam the Netherlands.
I fly simulators for years starting at microsoft flightsimulator 4.0.
I currently fly and modify to my needs. X-plane, Aerosoft FS2, IL2 and DCS.
All general GA and Helicopters and classic warbirds from WW1 to 1970. Mainly steamgauge and not so into FMS and other electronics.
I am a bachelor of science in precision engineering and work for a general engineering company.
Therefore I have technical and pogramming knowledge and use that to hack the soft and hardware to suit my simulator needs.
I have a multisim multiaircraft setup thats get optimized all the time to fine tune its use for the aircraft and simulators
I served in the army under conscription and have seen the dutch BO-105 in action and fell in love with that kind of flying.
Never mastered sim helicopter flying until VR game allong and I am now hooked on it.
Because of my poor eyesight never was able to go for my own pilot license.
Use flightsimming to get the feeling on mainly out of the box and out of procedure flying.(NOT at the BSD)
- your call sign:
Appie - your age:
53 years alive and kicking - your type of internet connection and speed:
cable 20Mb/s - your timezone:
Amsterdam, Paris -1 Zulu - your availability during the week and or weekends.:
All week evenings and all weekends (depending on real life job schedule). - your approximate number of flight hours already spent on DCS:
I have DCS for years now. Its my I want to fly warbirds now simulator. Since VR I have invested more time in it on choppers
estimated hours:
+100 h UH-1, 20 h Black Shark, 20 h Gazelle and 5 h Mi-8.
Also have the Harrier (not chopper but can do almost the same tricks
).
Spent much more time in it since VR. Do VR since the day Oculus Rift came to the market. - your knowledge level with the integrated DCS Mission Editor:
Basic knowledge used to modify missions to suit my needs. Mainly general flying and doing domestic civilian flying and slingloading. Recently SAR missions. - your preferred chopper (you can love them all!)
UH-1, 2nd Gazelle (eagerly waiting for the MBB BO-105) - your expectations w.r.t BSD.:
Turn me form a lazy hot start I want to start flying now, to a follow the procedures and stick to a combat plan pilot. I always wanted to dive deeper into the study level of the helicopters and other DCS modules but because of my demanding non day job fail to force myself to do this. I a have been self learning choppers now for a year and feel quit a hot shot in it
which off course is not the case. So I want to progress in my skills end never have my rotor above the tree tops until it is absolutely necessary. Have some other sim shared flight experience and want to extend on this.
I hope this application gives enough information regarding me,
If more information is needed let me know.
With Regards.
