The VR Combat Simulator that left me Speechless

We are taking a look at DCS also known as Digital Combat Simulator but using a VR headset.
I have been spending most of my time in the last 2 weeks trying to understand the systems in this amazing fighter jet, with a lot of frustration and multiple moments during these times where I actually just wanted to quit.
After learning most of the basics of the F/A-18C Hornet I cannot stress enough how much respect I have for fighter pilots. Being a pilot is defenitely something special and for that reason it is also quite hard to become one. So maybe this video is also a little tribute to those who protect freedom from the skies.
I hope you guys enjoyed the video and I will catch you on the next one!

I can only respect this decision. Not only do you grow older and gravitate towards more sim/complex games, but your audience-including me-grows older too. I have just given up on too many RU-vidrs I watched in the past who haven't changed with their audience. Essentially, I've outgrown them. Seeing the comments below, I am not the only one who likes this change of content and I hope it gets some traction! Awesome work and Keep it up fellow Dutch fighter pilot!

Naw. Hard core games are for virgins. And maybe someday I'll get my cherry popped. Or I'll just go fly my Hornet again instead. Yeah....that sounds better every time I say it.

I used to work on this jet in the Navy... (VFA-15 Represent!)... You asked what I thought of that intro.... Loved it!!! They got that bird right! 😎 My heart was racing, and my mind was lost in memory. Even the Carrier is legit with neat nuances like the texture of the non-skid, positions of the pad eyes, and all the safety markers. Two thumbs up!

@ttenor12 3 месяца назад

As a long time DCS player and someone who has sunk a few thousand hours into it and has made some content about it, don't feel bad for calling it a game, because that's what it is, a game. If you press Esc and press quit to desktop, the prompt itself will tell you it's a game. Even Wags (Matt Wagner, you'll know who he is eventually) calls it a game.

@chopper9000 2 месяца назад

Flight simulators in VR are a game changer. With the extremely quick start up (talking the Meta Quest 2 and 3 here from personal experience) its barely more hassle than setting up your joystick now. Long gone are the days of having sensors set up in the room, and having to spend ages configuring the headset. If you have a rig that can run them smoothly it's the new way to fly sims IMO.

Good for you man! I have enjoyed your comedy videos, but this is a nice change of pace, and something close to my heart. I’ve been primarily playing flight sims for 15 years, and know the joy of that feeling. You nail it, and know that you have done something most people can not do. A learned skill, from practice, and dedication. I think it’s the pinnacle of pc gaming. Keep it up. See you in the skies!

@blayzepoliquin7675 3 месяца назад

This was fantastic. I've always really liked your production style, the music and audio are always on point. I'm having trouble remembering the name of the game; Lone Echo maybe? Anyway, I do remember the production quality, my favorite thing being your personal integration of dialogue for the protagonist. It was clever, and well timed. In a nutshell, keep it up man; especially if you love doing it. Your comedy content has a great, twisted charm; and your cinematic content has a very thespian charm. Love it.

I started my flight sim career in Flanker 2.0 then when Lock On Modern Combat (LOMAC) which is now DCS came out I made the switch. We had two guys that loved to build complex missions. So part 1 would be Friday night. We would gear up around 8:00pm and put the gear down for the last time around 6:00am Saturday morning. The second part would start and finish about the same time. Ahhhhh good times

Amazing. This really makes me want to jump in and have a look at DCS myself. I've looked at DCS many times on Steam over the years but have never d/l or installed it. I have many hours in other flight sims, but somehow never got around to this one. I've always been more interested in single and twin engine small planes, but this was awesome.

@deekamikaze 3 месяца назад

If you are serious about it. Get the standalone. The steam version sucks and doesn't have sales. The standalone still has the same player base but you can also test drive vehicles for free in MP so you can see if you like a vehicle before spending money on it since every plane is about $70

I just received my Pimax Crystal and it’s been a nightmare to set it up but I think I’ve done it. I’m going to hop on the F-14 today and practice some BVR. I effin love this Simulator!!! The flight model in the F-14 is so complex. I started DCS and just flew the WWII planes in multiplayer but now I’m moving up to Cold War jet’s. Learning about TACAN etc and all the new modern aerial warfare technology is complicated. I’m constantly looking on RU-vid to educate myself with tutorials.

@richardneville4255 3 месяца назад

Great job, i recently upgraded my gpu to a 4070ti super just so i can play this (also using an index). Its incredible how detailed the simulation and all the aircraft are. I am currently starting out with the spitfire and normandy 2.0 map but i also have flaming cliffs addon and looking forward to learning how to fly the jets properly. It blows my mind how good it all looks and feels when taking off and getting above the clouds.

Merp you can have comedy in the simulation videos. This was so weird 😃 Still made me really want to try DCS though

@P0intL3ader75 3 месяца назад

Nice to see that you tackle on DCS and the F/A-18. Next challenge is of course to operate the plane in bad conditions and also do areal re-fueling in VR which is almost mandatory in my opinion as doing it on a flat screen is sooo hard to do without the proper feel for scale and distance.

@davewills6121 2 месяца назад

I am just getting into DCS, i mean i brought the care aircraft a few yrs ago, have all the top end gear, Virpil sticks/base/throttles/Panel, Streamdeck, TPR pedals, upgrades from VRG2 to Tobi which is freedom. Dcs is a unique Sim, like Star Citizen, they have no competition, and offer next level immersion and diversity. PS: your content is top quality, visually and sonically, and the content is fun

Ideally you get the #3 wire but you did good. "Call the ball" 8 years in the Navy myself. So very realisitc. I was in when they still had the F-14 C Tomcat, they were testing the D which was killed in congress. They had just started transitioning to the F-18. Pt. Mugu PMTC was my station.

@acemcplane 3 месяца назад

It helps to talk to ATC in the COMM menu. Request an Azimuth. Keep doing it and it’ll guide your landing pattern. You can also just turn the landing lights on, switch to the carrier’s view with F9, and spot where your plane is to guide yourself to a strait landing.

@fabriziocagni9835 2 месяца назад

@c.j.rockwell5803 3 месяца назад

I caught the bug myself a few years ago. Only advice I have is to pay attention to your AOA. That bracket to the left of your Vc is your AOA. Once you hit like 165 knots or so, trim nose up until your Vc is towards the middle of that bracket, then use your throttle to control your pitch. It'll make landing, especially on carriers, so much easier.
