Application: Spiderpig
Callsign: Spiderpig
Age: 41
Internet Connection: Verizon Fios 75mbps up and down
Timezone: EST
Availability during week: Weekdays at night and weekends. I prefer to schedule flight time with other ahead of time so I can put it on the family calendar (got a wife and two kids who require my presence at times)
Flight hours in DCS: A plethora. Been flying the A-10C since 2011. In Fixed wings I would say 1000+, in Heli's I started with the Huey and would say about 200+. I work for Polychop Simulations so I tend to do a lot of test flights during the week. I probably have the most amount of hours in the Gazelle with the Oculus Rift CV1
Mission Editor Knowledge: Pretty darn good. I created training maps for several squads I've flown in. I also worked on some respawn scripts before starting to work with Polychop. I also create the test missions for Polychop as well.
Preferred Chopper: Gazelle and Huey (since I can start both of them). I own the Ka-50 and Mi-8 as well, but don't fly them that often.
My expectations: So I've been flying sims about 30 years now. But only in the recent 3 have I actually learned how to fly a helicopter. Most squads I've been in have helicopters, but are mostly fixed wing based. Working for Polychop, I obvisouly fly the Gazelle a lot - but I find that I don't have the basics of helicopter procedures. I know how planes make radio calls, taxi, and takeoff. But I would like to work the more procedural things of helicopters. I would also like to get better at flying with others in formation and how to employ a helicopter more effectively. Since Polychop is going to be developing another helicopter (BO-105) I figured it would be a good time to learn my helicopter methodology.
