VIRPIL Controls
VPC (VirPil Controls) was started in 2016 by Andrei Lukyanov, a long time flight sim enthusiast in Belarus. The VPC team comprises designers, engineers, software developers and virtual pilots from Belarus, Russia and the UK. We want to bring in a new class of high-end, high precision flight controllers and accessories to the consumer market.
We aim to involve the community throughout the development stages of our products, with frequent announcements and updates. We listen to all comments and suggestions so that we can provide the best possible products.
Our pre-production devices are tested in one of the leading industrial laboratories to ensure the highest standards of quality and reliability. The pre-production controllers are then refined in close co-operation with well-known, experienced virtual pilots flying the most popular flight simulators.
Our mission is to provide a real sense of happiness to the virtual skies.

Eagle Dynamics
Eagle Dynamics is a software development company that was established in 1991. Eagle's first simulation was Su-27 Flanker for the PC in 1995. This was later followed by Su-27 Flanker 2 and then Su-27 Flanker 2.5. Eagle's next simulation series was Lock On: Modern Air Combat that included eight different US and Russian aircraft. Add-ons to Lock On: Modern Air Combat includes the Flaming Cliffs series (1 and 2), that added the Su-25T ground attack aircraft and many new improvements.
The current development series for Eagle Dynamics is Digital Combat Simulator (DCS) World. Digital Combat Simulator World (DCS World) is a free-to-play digital battlefield game. Our dream is to offer the most authentic and realistic simulation of military aircraft, tanks and ships possible. The free download includes a vast mission area of the Caucasus region and Black Sea that encompasses much of Georgia. It also includes the flyable Russian Sukhoi Su-25T ground attack aircraft and the famous WWII North American TF-51D fighter.
The download comes with one of the most powerful mission planners ever designed, full network play and more than 145 AI weapons systems, 113 ground vehicles and trains, 16 Ships and 73 AI aircraft permitting you to plan and play highly sophisticated missions. DCS World is massively extensible through additional DCS modules as well as user-made add-ons and mods which you can purchase and download from our site.
DCS is a true "sandbox" simulation that is also designed to cover multiple time periods of interest such as WWII, Vietnam, Gulf War and others.
DCS World is fundamentally a deep, authentic and realistic simulation game designed also to offer a more relaxed game play to suit the user and his particular level of experience and training. The ambition is to hand hold users from novice pilot all the way to the most advanced and sophisticated operator of such complex weapons systems as the A-10C or the Mirage 2000C. The only next step is the real thing!
Thank you for your support and for believing in DCS.

104th Phoenix VFBS
The 104th Phoenix VFBS was formed in February 2007 by close friends Ed “Manawar” Green and Paul “PoleCat” Johnston. Before this they were long standing members of the 169th Panthers. This is where their love for combat flight simulations began. Over these early years Paul and Ed grew from cadets to share the second in command role as squadron leaders of the 169th. Through this experience they developed their own leadership style and the vision to form a squadron of their own was born.
Today the 104th Phoenix VFBS is still going strong with a solid time tested and stable infrastructure in place consisting of our own multiplayer dedicated and TeamSpeak 3 servers as well as an excellent website and forums. The 104th regularly hosts and participates in online multiplayer events for the ED/DCS flight simulation community and some of our members are part of the DCS beta testing team.
Since its conception The 104th Phoenix has been flying and supporting virtually all ED/DCS titles starting with LOMAC and Flaming Cliffs right up to the latest releases. These titles included Lock On Flaming Cliffs 1.2, Flaming Cliffs 2, Black Shark, Black Shark 2, and A-10C. Our new simulator of choice is DCS World which features most of the above mentioned titles in the form of plug in modules as well as an updated Flaming Cliffs 3, Combined Arms module, P-51 Mustang, UH-1 Huey, Mi8 and more.
The one thing that makes the 104th so special is our membership and the friendships we have developed within the squad and the community at large. We are blessed to have some of the best skilled pilots that fly a mix of both fighters and strike aircraft. With a focus on teamwork and professionalism in and out of the cockpit the 104th Phoenix VFBS shows no signs of slowing down any time soon.
We take special pride in providing personalized training to our cadets in order to bring you to the tip of the spear of DCS virtual pilots. If you are interested in joining, please visit our website!
