Training

Each squadron has a comprehensive training curriculum developed with developing and improving pilots of all skill sets.

Multi-Platform

F/A-18C, F-14B, AV-8B, and Controller are all available for you to join. Each training night averages 25-45 people on at a time with live ATC and AIC depending on the mission needs.

Full Scale Campaign

Our training program is only a part of the experience. We don't train just to get better, we train to prepare for semi-annual deployments, a month's long campaign developed to give you an immersive, enjoyable experience.

What They Think About Us

Happy people's opinions.

This group is great. Joined as an F14 RIO with no experience at all a year ago. Since then I've had more fun, shared more laughs, and made more great friends in DCS than in any other gaming group I've been apart of.

I joined 3 years ago with no experience. Great group of guys, the flying is amazing, and the camaraderie afterwards is also awesome..

vCSG-3 cannot be lauded enough. Joined 3 years ago with 0 experience but a willingness to learn. Was greeted with patience, knowledge, training, and a real sense of belonging. They'll take you from a know nothing nugget to a shit hot stick as long as you're willing to put the work in. The absolute best you could ask for in a DCS community.
