I am a USAF Brat. My pop took me into a simulator into this plane. To me, it was the best time of my life. I was 16 and it was 1982. RIP. Retired Colonel James T.Thomes.
@tripg4624 I spent a lot of time finding photos of the 110th via the Lindbergh's Own FB group and US archives, I hope I did it justice for you guys. Eventually I'd like to add some more through 1991 and the Pharewell
@@fastfedBecause, everything is modelled and detailet to its finest:) the aircraft is a study level simulation of the real phantom, so that is the reason:)
Yes, indeed. Tripple screens cannot do what a good VR headset can do. They will never be able to do that. VR is another world. One must only be ready for it, nothing more.
Flying with the Pimax8KX for two years. Nothing beats VR! I bought the F4 especially for the cockpit immersion in VR. Sure there are some flaws with VR, but the pros are simply astonishing!
I often describe to people what it’s like going vertical through the clouds, the sun glinting off the canopy scratches, as the jet I’m flying shudders and complains, alerts going off before I yank back on the stick and look up with my head and watch the earth fall back into my view. The feeling is unreal. If you’ve never done it, you won’t know. VR is so close to real.
I just got a hold of a VR headset. Next step is to hook up DCS to it. I just haven't figured that part out yet. Does it all work in the game with the hand controllers? Or do you need external Peripherals? I mean, I've got the $2000 hardware setup, but I don't wanna hook it up to just test.
I remember playing ACE COMBAT on PS1 and being just blown away with the detail and immersiveness! Times have changed. But I will always look back on the 70's, 80's, 90's eras with great fondness. For those who have never experienced the difference between those years and what we have now, it's almost impossible to explain how the lack of too much detail somehow made gaming great. Not better. But just as good. Forcing you to use your imagination to fill in the detail that wasn't there or barely there made horror games creepier. Fighting games basicand brutal. Adventure RPGs almost more expansive than they actually were...etc. When you saw a castle on a mountain in the background it made you imagine infinite storylines about what it could represent. But now, with the immensely gigantic open worlds available, everything we see in the horizon is reachable. It doesn't take away from the game by any means. It is amazing. It's just a different part of your mind working to use your imagination. If that makes any sense. Anyways, all that to say, I love those old games and will always have a special place in my heart for them.
Preach! I played them all from Chuck Yeager's Air Combat to Falcon 3 (then falcon 4). I can't remember all the flight sims I played, but if it was more sim than game I bought it and played it.
One thing that you can do in VR that you can't do with a 3 screen setup is standup, turn around and look out the back of the aircraft. Or completely turn your chair around and look backward. 🙂
The approach to landing looked so smooth. With other sims the controls always seem so sensitive. That looked like a real approach no doubt. And the landing, the F-15's I watched land at RAF Lakenheath landed solidly like that. Just such a real looking, handled flight. Well done Sir!
Cool. I remember these very LOUD Jets taking off during my Viet Nam years while working on the Flight line. Amazing Jets of that time painted in their green camouflaged paint schemes. I worked on the C-130 aircraft back then. thanks for the video. Take care.
Bought and installed DOF H3 motion chair and absolutely love it. Significantly adds to the realism on top of VR. And also using beyond big screen VR headset, weighs absolutely nothing (nearly as light as a pair of sunglass). OLED is gorgeous. Customized to your face and your eye prescription.
Try raising the landing gear lever before takeoff roll. As soon as you break ground the Landing gear will raise automatically from the wieght on wheels switch. A little trick from F-4 driver. If its in the game, they really did the homework on the aircraft.
@@markslandingsandaviationvi3123 Do like this, when you are ready for take off roll and you lower your flaps, raise the landing gear control lever. As soon as you break ground the gear should retract. It's a cool looking trick we all did in it's day . If it does it in the game, they really did the research.
New to your content, but i enjoyed it! Instead of full on motion, in racing I’ve loved belt tensioners, haptic seat pads and wind fans that all react to the telemetry that make a static experience just SO much more immersive
I'll definitely be getting back into DCS when I upgrade my PC in the next year. WIth a 2070 Super and AMD Ryzen 3700X, 16 GB ram, I always had to turn down the graphics very low and lower resolution a bit to get decent frame rate. Hopefully I can remember how to use all the weapon systems and all that. It took months to get competent. Game now looks amazing in VR with your system though.
That was super cool. As a former F-15C and F-15E model Avionics Tech, watching this brings back so many memories. And the sounds are so accurate as well. If only you could smell the burning JP8 ☺ Oh and I know you said normally you'd deploy the parachute. Maybe that's an in game only thing, but the F 15 isn't equipped with parachutes for slowing down in real life...
Absolutely correct. It's frustrating to see people focus on creating static screen representations of jet cockpits when VR technology offers a much more accurate simulation. With VR, you get a more immersive experience that's easily interchangeable. Pair this with a pneumatic chair to simulate the aircraft's movement, and you'll feel as if you're truly flying! This combination provides a far superior and realistic environment.
Looks pretty good. I live in Vegas and while not photo realistic exactly, the terrain is modeled pretty accurately. I live just a few clicks directly north east of Nellis AFB at the base of a mountain called Frenchman's mountain. I overlook the whole Vegas valley from my driveway, and i can see where my house would be. lol I may just have to get this so i can fly over my house and see what my dogs are up to in the back yard and if my pool guy is keeping my pool looking sharp! lol
Re the motion simulator... yeah that would be nice, however if you have not tried it, I would highly recommend connecting a buttkicker (sound transducer). You won’t get the motion, however you will feel the rumble of the jet, thump as the wheels come down, cannon, etc. any deep bass sounds get translated into a vibration that you will feel. Adds a lot. I use them when flight simming and sim trucking. I can’t sim without VR, or the added Immersion provided by the buttkicker.
I'm pilot too on DCS.. Using trackir inside my home cockpit based on the blackshark... I build a glass canopy to feel me more in immersion.. And ear me out... It's just unbelievable ❤❤... I feel everyth like real pilots excepted the pitch and the roll of my hull... But it's doesn't matter... Realism are here
I live in Vegas. I hike those mountains around Vegas. I just can't do it July/August because it's too hot and during the winter the days are too short for longer hikes. You don't want to get caught up on a mountain at dark. You literally can't see anything and you're stuck there. Happened to me once. They actually rescued me with a helicopter.🤷
I’m a racer using VR and it has chgd the whole experience. Just awesome. I can’t play as long in vr but I use vr headset like I my helmet, once I’m in race headset come on. Looking forward to trying new war thunder made for VR once it comes out.
Ever since I saw lawnmower man back in the 90s I have always wanted to try virtual reality but I can tell you this blows anything they had in that movie away so Jell-O thanks for the video bro
Unfortunately In VR the graphics are low resolution (except for the cockpit) because essentially you have a 4k phone right in front of your eyes. That's at least my experience based on IL2-Sturmovik and HP Reverb.
It will only get better. I believe someone medical once said human eyes can see a maximum of 16K. We are now at 4K moving to 8K. Within 10 years we will reach 16K. In 30-50 years everyone can likely have perfect VR for good prices in small devices. Within a 100 years it will be as light as sunglasses with fully realistic games and tons of super advanced content.
In VR, can you turn and off the switches and handle the throttle etc. by simply reaching for it in VR or do you have to hand the attachments!? Never done it. Just curious.
I find I have problems with the Gamma in VR in DCS. I have to adjust it between day and night missions or even depending on the weather. It is especially bad for the F4 cockpit because (like the real thing) the cockpit lighting sucks, so reading instruments (like the flap/slats indicator) is sometimes difficult. But yes the F-4 in VR is great, a cramped analog hell of a cockpit.
Awesome! Do know that the quest 3 is great as well! Surely the pimax is more clear, but still. You can get a discount on the pimax btw of you use my link in the description ;)
Merci pour cette superbe vidéo elle est magnifique j'attend mon Pimax Light qui dois bientôt arrivé et je voulais savoir comment on fait pour voir le corps du pilote dans le cockpit car sur mon Quest 3 je ne le vois pas. Merci beaucoup je me suis abonné a votre chaine pour la bonne cause :)
really awesome, i hope that mirrors can work in a few years, for me the black surfaces would be immersion breaking. good ui decision to addt the button manuals to the vr.
It's amazing all these years of development and no one has perfected that. Let's take another thing for example, Windows Mixed Reality is a joke in glasses such as the G2, so hard to get it started so easy to f it up and then lose the place where you left off in the screens and VR on off mode and a million other things that the interface software sucks at. it's unbelievable.
@ 018 you are being very misleading this is NOT through the headset, you are recording a mirror output onto your monitor, its not representative of what the image looks like through the lenses. The only thing that are the same are the GFX settings & camera movement.
my question as well, a lot of VR gaming vids I see on youtube look this way, with the entire frame tilted heavily on an angle, and it's very disconcerting
I don't know if it's the recording process but you have a lot of screen tearing/vsync/judder issues that would be hard to handle in VR. The modeling and graphics are amazing tho.
Can I use DCS World aircraft like this with an xbox controller in VR with my upcoming Pimax Crystal Light? I have a DBox motion rig for driving, but do plan to figure out a way to incorporate a HOTAS system in there by the end of the year. In he meantime though, it would be nice to try it with an Xbox controller in VR. Thanks for your great video. I cannot wait to get my Crystal Light. ")
