Vtol is on another level, ive spent a fortune on DCS and love it, but VTOL is just so damn good

@Viper1Zero 5 месяцев назад

VTOL is so accessible yet gives you that same sim feeling of clicky buttons and system manipulation you get from sims like DCS. Perfect middle ground.

@kzrlgo 5 месяцев назад

All modules in DCS total about $2k… hardly a fortune.

Yesterday i've spent almost half day playing Nuclear Option, the Escalation mission is really fun Also add Falcon BMS to the list! Awesome video as always dude

@Viper1Zero 5 месяцев назад

Man Falcon BMS is so good! The aim with this list was to be more full, standalone games, but yeah BMS is badass

@Samuel-vm7hn Месяц назад

@@Viper1Zeroi guess it depends on what you would call a full standalone game, but falcon bms definitely has plenty to be considered a full game. even before the f-15 was added, there is just so much you can do with “just” an f-16. although expansion of airframe catalog would be nice just for some variety in player controlled op4.

@mattm7798 16 дней назад

Haha, pretty sad BMS still has to be relied on for a dynamic flight sim campaign. It's clear DCS was not built with a dynamic campaign in mind given how long it's taking to release it.

@wheelerthree День назад

@@mattm7798 Total Air War was another old game with a great dynamic campaign that never got the love that Falcon did

@weirdguy564 2 дня назад

Nuclear Option just went to v0.28, and now has 7 planes and aircraft carriers. The two new planes are an electronic warfare VTOL plane, and the other plane is a F-23 Black Widow style reworked to be a naval carrier plane. Interestingly, the carrier is a Russian/Chinese/Indian style with an angled deck with arrestor wires, but instead of catapults you roll off the end of a ski jump ramp on the bow.

@stwcrusher 5 месяцев назад

I would like to also absolutely recommend Freespace 1&2 through the Knossos Modding community. Absolute massive Mod Campaigns that include incredible voice acting, and insane graphic upgrades from the original releases. A new VR compatability mod just hit the community and many campaigns are adding support.

VTOL VR is great, I swear I'm addicted to livery making, cause I've made a grand total of like 21 liveries for the Mischief since it launched, and even released my own template for it. Feels good seeing others using it or parts of it, and the odd time someone in a public lobby is using one of my liveries. Saw someone using my cursed USCG livery and it put a grin on my face. Great video as always Viper

great video, I wasn't aware of Nuclear Option's super cool looking damage models! One thing I have gotta point out, is that VTOL VR is all made by a single developer, Baha. They also made the BDArmory weapons mod for Kerbal Space Program, which considering the amount of hours I poured into that mod is super cool to me.

@@homelessmotherofnine9577 nuclear option is not even playable, the game just crashed when about to take off, the aircraft is barely controllable. The whole game is full of bugs. Only DCS is proper but it seriously doesn't come with tutorial that teaches you how to operate the aircraft, some merely some don't at all giving much frustration especially when RU-vid tutorials and manual guide incomplete or left out some parts.

These days flight sims are Ace Combat or DCS with lots of planes and not focused on 1 type.. No more F-22 Raptor, F-35 Lightning.. or F/A-18E/F Super Hornet.. dedicated flight sim..

Didn't even realize there was 6? 😁 Back in the 90's it seemed like that's all that released on PC was sims. What's out there though now is top-notch. DCS needs to get their dynamic campaign out this year though. How could you not mention IL2 Great Battles?! I would not call half of these in this list to be 'sims'. More like 'arcade'. I'd never heard of Helicopter Gunship D.E.X. though. I just bought a Quest 2 to try out VR (was cheap...$195USD new), and yes, VTOL VR is pretty unbelievable, and also very cheap for what you get, especially at 30% off.
