I’ve been playing DCS for 3 years with over 2000 hours of experience. I mainly fly the F/A-18C and F-16C and am quite knowledgeable in how to best employ the systems and capabilities of the aircraft

Five years flying MSFS, mainly in the PMDG 737. I specialise in helping pilots who feel overwhelmed in the cockpit - managing the FMC, setting up a flight plan from scratch, and building a flow so you're not fumbling during descent. We'll cover practical IFR work: programming SIDs and STARs, setting up VNAV, and understanding the MCP modes so the autopilot does what you actually want. I also help with SimBrief integration, approach briefings, and making your first VATSIM flight without embarrassing yourself on frequency.

Started in MSFS two years ago and I remember being completely lost by all the knobs and switches. I fly the Cessna 172, Diamond DA62, and PMDG 737 mainly. My focus is helping new simmers get comfortable: understanding the G1000, setting up a basic VFR flight plan, and landing without bouncing three times. We'll work at your pace - no pressure, no jargon overload. I also help with controller setup, sensitivity curves, and getting your peripherals working properly. Affordable rates because I know what it's like to be new and on a budget.

Naval aviation is where I live - the F/A-18C Hornet and F-14 Tomcat specifically. Carrier ops are my specialty, but I also help pilots struggling with the Hornet radar - understanding TWS vs STT, keeping locks through the notch, and not losing your target in a furball. We will cover scan patterns, the SA page, and building situational awareness beyond just staring at the radar. For carrier work: ball flying, power management, and what the LSO actually wants to see. Case III night traps are challenging but I will get you there. Tomcat crews welcome - I fly both seats.

SEAD - Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses - is my specialty in the F-16C. If SAMs keep shooting you down before you can react, I'll show you how to read the RWR, identify threats, and employ HARMs effectively. We cover the HTS pod, building a target list, and knowing when to pre-emptive launch vs reactive. Beyond SEAD, I help with general F-16 systems: radar modes, TWS vs STT, and not losing track of bandits. Workload management in a high-threat environment is key - I'll help you stay calm when everything is beeping.

I have trained with real world JTAC’s, AIC, ABM,GCI, GFC, and C2. I can teach Close Air Support and Air to Air BVR engagements to real world standards. The DCS community I run provides positive training reps to real world and active duty military. I can teach you all the skills you would need to join a Hornet squadron and be successful.

Twelve years in DCS since the Ka-50 was the only module. I fly the Black Shark, Mi-24P Hind, and F/A-18C. For helicopter pilots, I focus on the Shkval targeting system, Vikhr employment, and flying nap-of-earth to stay alive. The Hind is a beast - I will teach you to manage that workload between flying and fighting. For Hornet pilots, I specialise in air-to-ground: getting Mavericks to actually lock and track, TGP-to-weapon handoffs, and solving those frustrating moments when the seeker just will not cooperate. Night ops and NVG flying are also my thing.

I'm a former IRL helicopter flight instructor with experience on R22,R44 and Cabri G2. As well as all the theory, I'd teach students about hovering, lift and set-down, as well as auto rotation and emergencies. I've been flying DCS for about 5 years, mostly on FA-18, A10-CII and Apache AH64D. I love the complexity, but it can be daunting. I probably spent as much time reading the aircraft manuals as I do flying! I love teaching aviation stuff - I look forward to getting your lesson booking!

Been flying GA since 1997 and flown the Cessna 150, 152 Aerobat, 172 and Piper PA28 & PA30 Significant simulation experience including being a professional MSFS developer and now including other sims. I've 10's of thousands of hours in Airbus, Boeing, MD and other aircraft in sims and pride myself in doing things properly without it feeling like a chore. I'm a positive, friendly and enthusiastic person who's looking to pick up professional flying as an instructor again and want to pass some of the knowledge on here in the sim world as well.

Train with a tutor who combines real-world flying experience with advanced simulation. With 2,500 hours total flight time, including 1,500 hours multi-engine, you’ll learn from someone experienced in IFR operations, workload management, and real decision-making under pressure. Alongside this, 1,000 hours in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 allows you to practice in a safe, high-fidelity environment. You’ll build confidence with procedures, checklists, avionics, and even emergency scenarios that aren’t always possible in real training. This blended approach helps you learn faster, understand concepts more deeply, and develop real-world skills that translate directly to the cockpit. Ideal for student pilots or anyone looking to sharpen their flying skills with structured, practical guidance.

WWII warbirds are my love - P-51D Mustang, Spitfire, and Fw 190. Prop management is where most pilots struggle: mixture, RPM, manifold pressure, and not cooking your engine. We'll cover takeoffs without ground-looping, cruise settings for range, and combat power management. Deflection shooting is an art - I'll teach you to lead targets and actually hit something with those .50 cals. I also fly the JF-17 Thunder for pilots wanting an affordable modern jet with surprisingly deep systems.

Hello! My name is Hayden. I am currently a college student at Montana State University Bozeman. I am studying Ranching Management, but also love teaching people about things I am passionate about. I have my pilots license and am studying for my ASTB currently. I am a long time player of DCS and am proficient in most modules, as well as many aviation related subjects. I take pride in my ability to explain complicated topics in a simplified and custom tailored manor, drawing from a wide array of knowledge using analogies and simplified terminology. I own most DCS modules, and also am comfortable helping out in other sims such as IL2 and MSFS. I will gladly help and answer any questions regarding peripherals, setup, and software. Please reach out with any questions and I look forward to helping you get your foot in the door of this addictive and rewarding hobby!
