About Us

3 Virtual Fighter Squadron is a virtual Squadron for DCS World based in the UK.

The group was set up because of the lack of groups in the UK dedicated to flying the Harrier.

We are a group that loves the Harrier, watching it on the news in 1982, sitting in a mock cockpit as a youngster. The Harrier is one of the few things that really is part of UK history.

We have a rank system based on the Royal Air Force. This isn't because we want to tell people what to do or (be the boss) It's purely for immersion and administrative purposes. We don't and would never expect to be called or call people sir, unless you are that way inclined.

We have members from all walks of life, and although we try to do things the right way in out missions the main aim is to HAVE FUN. Flight sim is our hobby, we do it because we enjoy it. When it becomes a second job it stops being enjoyable. If members want to be more involved in mission making, liveries, or any other admin then that's fine, but we would never expect it from anyone.

We have a custom made flight logging and currencies form to be kept up to date by each individual pilot. Nothing difficult, just four drop boxes to fill in after each flight.

We use the liveries made by Mike Dixon, found here https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/filter/user-is-MikeDixon/apply/ We edit those to add reg numbers and pilot names,

Due to us being a single squadron we are caped at twelve members, so we do expect people to be active, and we can be selective at times. Don't let this put you off, just pop along to our discord and introduce yourself and a member of the team will have a chat and book a check flight. That's it. No lengthy periods of quals ect, however if a new member needs a lot of training then that can be provided, even starting in the T45.
