  2. I'm going to buy this while it's on sale (there are a couple of mods that are out that allow you to play without VR which is great because where I live in the world getting a VR headset is considered a major investment)

  10. I have AH-94 from VtolVR and AH-64D from DCS, I have played both in VR, the AH-94 gameplay is much better and feels more realistic, but I really love the Apache so that's the one I'm currently playing.

  17. Yeaaaaah this game is a beauty … for those who didn't try it, easiest comparison would be Full on VR version of Ace Combat or Project Wingman with added complexity of DCS – or rather DCS Lite would be more correct 😀
    BUT if you like AC and PW you will be right at home as well, you'll only need to adjust on Flight model and that Countermeasures and using ordnance is not just hitting the button and Missile magically misses you or on the other hand Missile hits the target 😀

  18. I think it could be if you could use a joystick. I can’t play the game due to them forcing a virtual joystick which is incredibly uncomfortable for my wrists, hands, and arms as well as being just generally clunky.

  21. just make sure when your using heat seekers apart from the aim-9G set them to head track in the equipment menu. It should help with quickly taking out bandits
    also when evading missiles one easy method is to just get the missile on your 6 or 9 o clock using the RWR and just pump chaff. one more thing splash is when you kill air targets and shack is when you take out ground targets. one more thing fox-1 is when you launch a semi-active radar guided missile such as the aim-7 (semi-active basically meaning you have to retain your lock on targets throughout its entire flight) fox-2 is when you launch any heat seeking missile such as the aim-9 And finally the fox-3 is when you launch a active radar guided missile such as the aim-120.
    Great video though!

  27. If this game didnt have a VR Headset as a basic requirement its player base would easily double… if not triple. That is honestly the only issue it has.

    Yes i get it. Its designed around VR and the whole experience is tailored around that. Still. This means that in order to play one must at least get a VR headset and controllers for say 200$ish at least. Ever compared to DCS that you can play with just a stick (as i did for years) its pretty harsh. (In perspective a DCS module + Hotas will still be less than a VR headset).

    This is the only limit. If one aint into VR it wont get this. If one is into flight games but does not want to spend for a VR headset it wont get this. If one wants to try this has to keep in mind that there is an entrance fee of 200$ (The game is extremely reasonably price so the price of the game is not a barrier). If the Devs create a "Non-VR" mode for this then a lot more people that like flight sime would easily give this a shot… and maybe buy a VR sometime down the line to enjoy it at its fullest.

    Its accessible. Not too complex not too simple. Its fun. You can easily make your own contenent. The specs are not high and the graphics while simplistic are enjoyable. Its a great game…. with a bit high bar for entry.

    Small note: I know that there i a mod that allows to play without VR but it has been described to me as "Relatively janky" and its that: A mod. Not something official.

  28. When it comes to wanting stuff simple or easy for you, then definitely VTOL VR, but when it comes to high realism and a lot of challenges, then definitely DCS. Not saying vtol vr is bad, nor am I saying dcs is bad

  30. I have connections with Koteng “the Fatal Skies creator” and he informed me of some cool things. That being of the sequel to this campaign. It is written but he is currently in the same boat as me and my campaign; both of ours are put on delay to focus on our classes. Overall though, Im glad to see Koteng getting recommendations on his project as I know how hard he worked on it.

  31. Simply, no. DCS (Digital Combat Simulator) is absolutely the best "sim" for flight, if you consider "sim" to imply realistic. The graphics, amount of aircraft, multiplayer, diverse community, and of course unparalleled level of detail of the aircraft, down to recreating every system, switch, button and avionics characteristics of real-life counterparts allows DCS to take the cake for flight simulators.

  33. Hey, thanks for showcasing the campaign! Glad that you're enjoying it. Can't wait for next part to see your reactions to some missions in the "B-Side" of the campaign. 😀

  35. I've been doing flight sims since they literally existed, i've also flown small planes irl. NO flight sim puts you into the cockpit like Vtol VR. I have DCS, and love it, but I find myself wanting to jump into vtol so I can be IN the cockpit. Manipulating the controls, looking around, its amazing even after a year of playing it. The community and multiplayer is also great.

    DCS has VR, but its a pale comparison in terms of functionality to a game built from the ground up with vr and vr controllers.
