[PC] BVT are recruiting
Well, the title says it all really. The BVT are recruiting.

But wait, who are these “BVT”? What do they do? Where are they from? How do I know if I’m interested in being recruited? What do I really need to join? Read on, and find out.
First of all, who are we?
BVT is short for Belgian Virtual Tigers. Starting back in 1999 as a group of flight sim enthusiasts, some friends organised themselves as a small virtual team. Small, because all the members lived in Belgium, but soon the squadron grew and became well-known internationally. The name is derived from the 31st Tiger Squadron, an F-16 squadron based at Kleine Brogel.
What do we do?
It all started with Microsoft’s Combat Flight Simulator 1, but later on, things evolved and we started flying civil aircraft in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2000 as well. Growing on through several flight simulators we are now mainly focusing on Falcon 4 BMS 4.32 (BMS in short), flying the F16. We try to fly together at least 2 times a week (Wednesday and Saturday evenings), to keep our skills up to a certain level. We try to simulate real life as close as possible, but our primary objective is mainly to have fun.
Where are we from?
Currently, we’re all Belgian, spread throughout the Flemish provinces. Is being Flemish a requirement? Not at all, but we do request a working knowledge of Dutch. Normal conversation between the team members is usually in Dutch, and parts of online briefings or missions may be.
Why is this text in English then?
That is, quite simply, because this invitation will be posted on several forums and some only allow English posts.
What do you need to join?
Not that much really. We try to simulate life as close as possible, but we’re only enthusiasts ourselves. As it’s our main flight simulator, a basic understanding of at least Falcon 4 BMS 4.32 is required, but we’ll do our best to help you get through our training and assessment runs.
Apart from that, we only require a positive attitude, the will to learn and a reasonable amount of activity.
Still not sure if you want to join us?
Come and visit us. This month, 31st of March to be precise, we’re opening our monthly LAN party to the public. This will be near Antwerpen, Belgium, and we’ll allow a few persons to follow us for an afternoon, while we fly a mission in BMS. That way, you’ll be able to get a look at the team: who we are in real life, what kind of missions we fly, how we fly them etc.
As we are still only a small group, and this is our first try at a so-called “Open LAN”, we are restricted in resources and can not accommodate a whole group unfortunately. As such, we will limit ourselves to 3 visitors. If you are interested, send me a PM, preferably with a short description of yourself and your flight sim experience, and I’ll get back to you with more information as soon as possible.
Hope to see you soon,
The Belgian Virtual Tigers

eerst en vooral goeie post en hoop dat je hiermee wat leden kunt vinden. Fanatieke Flightsim piloten zijn moeilijk te vinden.
ik zelf hou het bij propellor vliegtuigen ( battleground europe of rise of flight ) maar mijn squadron is een sectie aan het opstarten voor faclon.
kom gerust eens kijken op ons forum en misschien kan er eens samen iets georganiseerd worden.

Bedankt.

Hoeveel piloten zitten er in jullie Falcon-sectie? Wij hebben er momenteel een tiental, dus als er animo voor is, kunnen we misschien wel eens een joint-ops of PvP organiseren. Zal het zeker eens bespreken met onze CO.
Aangezien ik deze vraag trouwens kreeg via een ander forum, ivm de LAN:
- Het is de bedoeling dat jullie gewoon komen kijken. Eigen PC's, schermen, joystick etc zijn niet nodig.
- Tijdens de LAN zitten we vlak naast een tea-room waar we door de dag heen verschillende keren wat gaan drinken. Zelf drank meebrengen is dus niet nodig. Gasten betalen dus elke consumptie zelf. Zo moeten jullie niet mee betalen in onze "lopende rekening".
- De uren waarop we de gasten zullen toelaten worden momenteel nog intern besproken, maar voorlopig denken we aan 14h-18h. Om praktische redenen is de kans echter klein dat dit nog zal veranderen.
Uiteindelijk nog een algemeen bericht, dat ik vergeten ben in de vorige post:
- Naar de LAN komen is geen verplichting om in de club te komen. Als je al voldoende interesse hebt en niet meer overhaald moet worden, mag je mij ook altijd een PM sturen.Last edited by Eagle-Eye; 13-03-2013 at 12:50.

ik denk dat er 3 of 4 piloten zijn die het spel spelen. Als je het met je co iets hebt besproken geef gerust een berichtje op ons forum om iets te organiseren.
Het zijn wel engelstalige piloten.free to play WW2 MMOFPS http://www.battlegroundeurope.com/no votes

Da's toch al een fourship, dus is (voorlopig) al meer dan goed genoeg.
Dat het Engelstalige piloten zijn is trouwens geen probleem. We vliegen ook af en toe met een Italiaans vSQN, dus we zijn internationale piloten/missies gewoon. 
Heb de info trouwens doorgegeven aan de CO, maar heb voorlopig van hem nog niets gehoord.
Aan alle anderen: waar zitten jullie? Vliegt niemand hier BMS, of heeft iedereen schrik van ons? We zijn wel Tigers, maar we bijten of klauwen alleen als het echt moet hoor.

We're closing in on the LAN again, and are making our final preparations.

Unlike our last event, we won't be using a set time schedule this time, as you are free to come and go whenever you please. We do advise, however, to arrive before the early afternoon (13h - 14h), as that will probably be the time at which we start our mission briefing.
Don't be worried if you can't make it by that time, though. While we fly, we should be able - to some extent - to answer any questions you may have. More precise information on when you can('t) ask us things will be given on your arrival.
We are aware that just visiting our LAN may seem a bit dull at first. That's why we have decided we might let visitors take place in the "hot seat" themselves, to increase interactivity and see if they have what it takes.
Note that allowing this will depend on a few factors, such as time left, number of visitors and some other criteria. As a result, we can not yet guarantee anything at this point.
At the end of the day, there should be a dedicated Q&A for any questions you may still have, and where we would like to ask the visitors about their experience, trade some contact info, ... As with the previous bullet, this will depend on a few factors, though we are fairly certain this will not be a problem.
As a final note: unfortunately, the tearoom we are next to will not be open during the hours of our event, but beverages will be made available at the regular price. We can not, however, take care of food for everyone and will probably order lunch (fast-food, pizza or similar) at a nearby location ourselves.
We hope to see you tomorrow.

Zeer late reminder, maar het is nog maar pas beslist:
Onze LAN van MORGEN is terug open voor het publiek. Dit is de laatste voor we een zomerstop inlassen, dus als je er nog eens wil passeren: dit is het moment.
Tijden zijn dezelfde als de vorige keer (11-18 local time), net als de locatie (Het Elzenhof, Kerkplein 3, 2650 Edegem).

Door onvoorziene omstandigheden is de LAN van vandaag geannuleerd.

Een nieuw jaar met veel goede voornemens, maar welke beter dan te proberen een echte Virtual Tiger te worden?
Denk jij dat je het in je hebt? Vul dan zeker ons nieuwe inschrijvingsformulier in, dat je hier kunt vinden: BVT Application - Belgian Virtual Tigers

Meer info over ons vind je op onze Facebook-pagina, website en gloednieuwe YouTube-channel.

Omdat het niet altijd meteen duidelijk is wat we precies doen, hebben we eens een Airfield Attack Demo voorbereid en gefilmd, om het tactische aspect van de Belgian Virtual Tigers toe te lichten. Bepaalde elementen die je ziet zijn eerder voor show effect, maar algemeen is het wel representatief.
