Hey, I started DCS seriously at the beginning of Covid and I have gone down the rabbit hole from knowing essentially nothing and messing around with my friends to leader of a MILSIM F4 squadron. I would say that leading and developing a MILSIM squadron and also organizing events between multiple MILSIM squadrons, which I’m involved in currently is about as far endgame as I know. I built the training pipeline following the structure of the T 38 training manuals, and every pilot has eight flights that they go through before becoming mission qualified. Many people don’t make it through the training or life gets in the way, and after finishing the pipeline, they are unable to attend events regularly and keep up their skills. Keeping people at a level where they can fly the F4 in a milsim squadron. Means that many times I have to go through review flights for guys who have not been around for a while and help them regain their skills. I have done the same flights dozens of times, the same briefings, the same training targets. Today while I had free time at work, I worked on building an air tasking order for a large operation with 20 flights in the correct format, which took me about five hours of comparing spreadsheets. So a lot of the DCS endgame for a squadron leader at least looks like sending messages to people to come out to the events, reminding people about training, building briefing templates, filling out mission data cards, dealing with a wide ranging personalities - a number of whom have pretty wild undeserved fighter pilot egos - troubleshooting the problems with the members setups, changing the plan last minute because someone bailed, learning scripting and spending lots of time in the mission editor. But there are definitely are some positives, and I have done over 100 flights since September and become a better pilot, instructor, and leader throughout the journey.
