Eagle Dynamics has released the english version of their latest simulator "Black Shark". Black Shark is the first of the DCS series and is a highly detailed simulation of the Soviet KA50 attack helicopter. We've already started the formation of an online Australian Black Shark squadron and it is expected that initial training will occur over the Christmas period. New recruits are welcome! Black Shark can be purchased from the Eagle Dynamics DCS estore for $US49.99.

About US

We are a squadron of (mostly) Australian flight simulator enthusiasts who enjoy flying multiplayer sims online together and discussing sims in general. We are a very informal group and as such do not have the sort of entry requirements that a lot of online squadrons have. We feel that this makes us especially friendly for those who are unfamiliar with online simming (or even simming in general). If you're new to the VAAF then you are welcome to sign up for the forums, introduce yourself in the nuggets area, read our fascinating manifesto, hop into IRC, and come for a flight in any of the sims that are going (phew).

Flight simulators that our squadron flys online are: Lockon Modern Air Combat ( LOMAC ) and its expansion Flaming Cliffs, Falcon4 in it's various forms ( F4AF , openfalcon , and redviper ), the IL2 / Pacific Fighters series (specifically 1946), and Microsoft Flight Simulator ( FS9 and FSX ). Several members also join up as a squad for semi-regular Armed Assault (ArmA) sessions and have been known to fly an Enemy Engaged ( EECH ) mission or two. With the release of Black Shark, some members are flying online operations in it as well. One thing's for certain, if there's a new online multiplayer combat sim out then some of us are bound to be playing it. You don't need to be from Australia to join us as most flightsims (even of the combat variety) seem to be quite tolerant of higher pings than would be acceptable in other multiplayer games.
