Milsim.

Twelve years of laser tag, milsim and historical reenactment aren't just a hobby. They're the foundation for building historically grounded DCS missions, with real tactics, credible orders of battle and operational contexts that come from the field, not from Wikipedia.

Flight simulation

DCS World is the most realistic air-combat simulator available to the public. Every system is faithfully modelled: from the flight model to cockpit procedures, from fuel management to weapons employment. I'm one of the founders of the 104th White Wyverns, our virtual squadron, and we're part of JATF (Joint Air Task Force) as a flight group within the largest Italian DCS community.

Main aircraft
F/A-18C · F-4 Phantom · F-14 Tomcat · AH-64 Apache

For modern flying we mainly use the F/A-18C Hornet, a carrier-based multirole strike fighter. For Cold War scenarios we fly the F-4 Phantom II and the F-14 Tomcat, two icons of the aviation of that era. For close air support and reconnaissance we use the AH-64 Apache.

Operational theatres
CAUCASUS
Black Sea, Georgia and southern Russia. Covers the mountainous Caucasus region with military and civilian airfields, the reference scenario for modern and Cold War conflicts.
SYRIA
Middle East: Syria, Lebanon, Cyprus and part of southern Turkey. Desert and coastal terrain, ideal for contemporary conflict scenarios in the eastern Mediterranean.
PERSIAN GULF
Arabian peninsula, Iran, Oman and the waters of the Persian Gulf. Operational carriers, offshore platforms and scenarios derived from the Gulf conflicts of the '80s and '90s.
// Approach
  • Missions designed on a real historical and doctrinal basis
  • Full briefings with orders of battle and intelligence
  • Post-flight analysis with the custom Mission Tracker dashboard
  • Coordination with AWACS and realistic IFF support
  • ROE (Rules of Engagement) derived from real scenarios
  • Formation flying and CASE I/II/III procedures for carrier landing
// Squadron

104th White Wyverns

The White Wyverns are our virtual squadron on DCS World. A group of pilots that shares the same approach to simulation: procedural rigour, carefully designed missions and coordinated crew flying. You don't take off without a briefing.

01
Original missions

Every mission is designed in-house, with a credible geopolitical scenario, a defined order of battle and objectives derived from real tactics. No procedural generation — every sortie has a story.

02
Real procedures

Full startup checklist, radio communications on real frequencies, coordination with GCI and AWACS. A procedural mistake has consequences — just like in reality.

03
Debriefing & analysis

Every flight is analysed with the Mission Tracker, a custom dashboard that records positions, engagements and decisions. The post-flight is an integral part of the training.

04
Dynamic campaigns

Missions aren't isolated — they're part of campaigns with persistent state. The decisions of one sortie influence the next. The theatre evolves.

DCS World Tools

Collects all the DCS projects developed in-house by the 104th White Wyverns to date. From the Mission Tracker for post-flight analysis to the operations support tools: everything we've built to improve our squadron's flying experience.

JATF, Joint Air Task Force

JATF is the main Italian DCS World community. It brings together Italian virtual pilots of all levels, from enthusiasts to simulation veterans, with a structure organised into squadrons, monthly events and shared campaigns.

2020founding year
10+squadrons
~60active pilots
2×operations/week
  • Bi-weekly operations coordinated across multiple squadrons, 25-40 pilots per session
  • Horizontal structure: each squadron keeps its autonomy and sends representatives to the meetings
  • Standardised radio procedures via SRS (SimpleRadio Standalone)
  • Virtual GCI and ATC active during operations with LotAtC
  • Operational theatres: Caucasus, Syria, Persian Gulf
  • PvE and PvP campaigns with historical and dynamic scenarios
"The goal is to have fun flying together and to share experiences and knowledge."

Milsim & Reenactment

Before the simulator there was the field. Twelve years of tactical laser tag, milsim and historical reenactment built an understanding of operational dynamics that no manual can convey. That experience is the foundation of everything else.

⚡
Tactical laser tag

MILES-like systems for realistic fire simulation. Scenario management, squad coordination, mission planning.

🗺
Milsim

High-fidelity military simulation: historically accurate uniforms, chain of command, radio communications on dedicated frequencies.

📡
Tech in the field

Integration of Meshtastic over LoRa and ATAK for digital situational awareness in real milsim scenarios. Software and hardware meet the field.

🎖
Historical reenactment

Reconstruction of historical scenarios with documentary research. Historical accuracy as a method, not as decoration.
