DCS F-4E Dogfight Discussion

If you have been around the channel for the past year or so you know that I have been building and releasing files for DIY flight sim peripherals. Of course when I complete a DIY project, I do personally use that peripheral for my own virtual flying as well! At the end of the day, gear doesn't necessarily make one a better virtual pilot, but it does increase the immersion. We all know the difference between winning or losing in a dogfight comes down to the individual behind the controls. The following is my first five engagements on Enigma's Cold War server, on the first day that I joined the server in the F-4E. If you like this kind of video, please do let me know in the comments. If you are new to the channel, stick around and consider subscribing, as there is lots of cool stuff around the corner. Cheers!

Appreciate this video - struggling to use the Phantom to its strengths so am trying to learn what I can!

[@seapickles5762]

Please do make more gameplay/discussion videos!

[@colinterry7261]

I'm sticking around for this one!

[@CaptainDanger-]

You should make one for the F14A

[@aztec0112]

Great video, quick question. So, is anyone using team or section tactics or is it mostly 1v Whatever? I ask because you seem to be spending a good amount of time scraping MiG's off of friendly's tails.

[@thesimnet]

Great question - my first few sorties were solo, but SRS/Discord are definitely best practices on ECW

[@Viper._.-]

1st

[@MrSomethingdark]

bruh are you referring to a plane as they/them? A single seat object is they/them?!

[@thesimnet]

Thank you, if there is an error in the video (grammar or otherwise), it would be helpful to timestamp it please!

[@Nicol2106]

Which VR headset are you using pls ?

[@thesimnet]

I am using a Quest 3 with a USB-C cable connected to my PC! Running 72Hz at 1.2 pixel density in Oculus and DCS

[@procrastinathan9201]

​@@thesimnetlooks really smooth! Why sort of hardware have you got? I'm struggling to get good performance in the F-4E in ECW, even in flatscreen, with a 4070, 5800x3d and 64 GB of RAM :(

[@thesimnet]

@@procrastinathan9201 hey I am running an i9-14900K with a 4090 and 64GB RAM as well. I have all settings on ultra but I am using ASW/reprojection so as long as I have around 30fps it's pretty solid until I get into a really busy area

[@leenx2406]

How can you identify the target beyond 2 nm away? especially in head to head case, My VR PVP experience is terrible cause of visual identify.

[@thejetfighter]

Have you tried making Russian joysticks? like the MIG-29 or MIG-21. And on the American side, the A-4 Skyhawk? Nice work! 😀
