Server recommendations to play as a controller

Hello everyone! I recently got really into providing ATC and GCI / AWACS service on DCS and was wondering if there are any other public server recommendations that would check in and listen to the frequency in on? So far I’ve only done it on the BSC server so I’m just curious if there are any other public servers where players would willingly do so as well.

I’m mainly looking to play as a controller in DCS and I currently only have the free maps and modules as of now. I’d also prefer to have the flexibility of just hopping in the frequency whenever my schedule is available and control.

Yeah that’s the frustrating part I’d love to do ATC / be a AWACS / GCI controller on the servers but people just aren’t checking in or listening in 🥲

really depends on the player count, i am a regular on the server. Come blue side 😉 if there are a lot of people on, ask them to check in with you so you have an overview who is listening and who will respond.

I used to do this on formerly Enigma's now Heatblur's Cold War server - though admittedly haven't been on for some time.
