About the Virtual U.S. Coast Guard

The Virtual United States Coast Guard (VUSCG) is an organization of fellow flight simulator enthusiasts that enjoy simulating the missions and procedures of our nation's coast guard.  We have found terrific enjoyment from trying to emulate the heroic and life-threatening jobs that real-world USCG men and women perform as a daily routine.  Out of admiration and respect, we have tried to make this organization as realistic as our virtual environment will allow and have made every effort to maintain a similar level of professionalism to our real-world counterparts.

Many newcomers ask: How does it work? The answer is very simple.  Individuals running Microsoft Flight Simulator can connect via the VATSIM System so that they can see each other from their own aircraft.  Using a voice communication program called TeamSpeak, we are able to communicate in real time with each other and perform synchronized procedures.  These basics, combined with our own customized aircraft fleet and sceneries, make flying the missions and saving virtual lives really "as real as it gets"!

We hope that visitors will take the time to browse our website and will feel free to contact the vUSCG Commandant with any questions that you may have.
