About Us

Basic Rules

18+ Community

Although we appreciate that age does not necessarily dictate maturity level, we are an 18+ community.

No Multi-Clan Policy In Effect

Given the amount of effort that has gone into creating this community, we ask that those who wish to fly with us full time - commit to that by not being apart of another DCS flying community. This is a strict requirement of all members of HVY.

Hate Speech, Racism, Etc...

HVY has a zero tolerance approach to hate speech, racism, etc... If you find you cannot control yourself in these areas - do not apply.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there an age requirement?

Joint Task Force Heavy is an age 18+ group. All applicants must be 18 or above.

I’m a member of another group. Can I also join HVY?

Multi-clan activity is prohibited by HVY Leadership. Revocation of membership will occur.

What about red aircraft? I love the Hind or Mig 21. Do you have squadrons that fly those?

HVY fields exclusively NATO-aligned aircraft. Members are welcome to fly whatever aircraft they want on our 24/7 servers, but are required to be a member of a blue squadron aligned to NATO airframe of their choice. See more on this site for our full list of squadrons.

I’m brand new to DCS. Is that okay?

Absolutely. Everyone started from zero once. Members are often willing and able to assist even the most novice pilots get up to speed in their airframe of choice.

Will I need to manage a lot of mods and other things?

Other than a couple established mods and our liveries pack, you should be up and running in short order to join our 24/7 servers after your application is approved.

Are there certifications or qualifications?

Every HVY member passes an initial checkflight to move from Recruit to A-1 status. The checkflight is a right of passage and meant to gauge your basic aviation abilities, pattern work, and comfort on a radio in SRS. But don't worry, your squadron has assigned flight instructors that'll get even the newest pilot ready to pass a checkflight with ease. Squadrons may have additional specific qualifications as needed.

How milsim hardcore are you guys?

Don't worry, there's no virtual salutes or other silliness. We adhere to real-life procedures in the aircraft where applicable and needed -- Case I and Case III landings on the carriers are just one example -- but HVY tends to the lighter side of milsim.

What other policies should I be aware of?

HVY has a zero tolerance policy for hate-speech, racism, or bigotry in written text, posted in imagery, or spoken through voice channels owned by HVY. Avoid political discussions. Keep in mind that sexual harassment is not tolerated and will result in a permanent ban from our servers.
