Another option for hands free, is Voice Attack plus Vaicom Pro. Been using it for years and it's great (especially since I fly in VR). The method shown here is great as a second alternative, but voice is closer to reality for me as a real world pilot. _"Texeco, request fuel"_ , _"ready, pre-contact"_ , _"flight, go line abreast"_ , _"Tower, inbound"_ , _"Two, cover me"_ ,etc. 😉

Thanks. I came of here after watching HIP who made a video after watching this from you. Didn't quite understand how I could bid this to my hotas when I have my buttons bid to my switch/button. But when you explain that when the menu is up, it over rides what i have set, so this makes sense to use now. Thanks for putting this out. I will be watching your stuff now.

I am using the WinWing F-16 HOTAS and the IFF switch is perfect for this. In the actual F-16, it's a 4-way switch, but WinWing also gave it a push button function. I've been using the push function of it to bring up the comms menu forever, but this adds to it! Now the IFF 4-way switch still does its intended functions (UHF xmit, VHF xmit, IFF in, IFF out) but when in the comms menu it becomes up/down/select/back.

This is not new to me, and I'm surprised everyone is surprised. Everything else in the controls can be keybinded. Why would people think this method isn't 🤦🏾 The yellow text is kind of obvious though. Certain missions don't allow you to select everything. So it becomes obvious that it's a default function I haven't played DCS for over a year & I knew this. People have really never took their time in the keybind section.. 🙄

Man awesome video. I've recently gotten deeper into DCS and now I am thinking on upgrading my stick from a 20$ Logitech one to an actual HOTAS. Would you recommend Track IR or VR for flying in DCS?
@takeoffwithjakesoft
@takeoffwithjakesoft 19 күн бұрын
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Contrasting VR vs. head tracking could really be its own video, but briefly I'll say this: If your PC is beefy enough to handle VR, then nothing beats that for immersion as long as you get the right headset and settings. If not, and you're still fairly new, head tracking is cheaper, comes with fewer technical headaches, and lower system requirements.

@mjrpane 19 күн бұрын
@@takeoffwithjakesoft Thank you for answering my question it helped a lot. I don't think my PC can handle VR right now at the moment so I think I am going to go with Track IR for now. I do have some more questions though. Where would you say is best to get this gear? Would it be Amazon or some other online store?

@takeoffwithjakesoft 18 күн бұрын
@@mjrpane You can buy TrackIR direct from trackir.com or from Amazon. Disclaimer though, I use a lower-cost alternative called "PuckIR" as shown in the video, so I've never actually bought or used the official Track IR product. The system I use is available from grassmonkeysimulations.com . Choose whichever you'd like, it'll really enhance your experience once you get it dialed in.
