DCS in VR - USAAF P47s Fighter Sweep to Arras, Fance

[@ryansta]

Great to see and hear a flight of P-47's. Gives you an idea what the sound must of been like in real life.

[@bobhundley9295]

Thanks for posting Phil - good to see you back in the cockpit!

[@philstyle]

Footage for this video was captured directly from one of the 2 VR "eyes" and stretched to fit the render area. Resolution for the first-person views is, therefore,m substantially lower quality than the external views footage.

[@damo7800]

The premium KZbin pilot is back with another quality video. Thanks Phil hope your well mate.

[@philstyle]

Thanks, ;) Yeah, I am well. Just stated to get back into some more regular flying now. It's been a nice 10 month break.

[@damo7800]

@@philstyle Well deserved mate. See you in the sky’s! (Bug1)

[@ibis4931]

Nice one phil, good to see you back in the air. Cheers.

[@kevoman4980]

The Jug is a BEAUTY!!

[@nothin_but_dinks]

Was anxiously waiting for a new one form ya and so happy it involves the P47. Fantastic work as usual! Thank you for all the hard work.

[@sparkylist]

Nice flight 👍 The shaky flightstick comes from the landinglight. You have to retract the light, not only turn it of. Happend a lot to me when i was learnig the jug.

[@jangraham7424]

Great to see some more Style-ish flying. Always great immersion on your super videos, really good. Thanks Phil.

[@dusty4459]

Great shooting, it was a fun sortie. I think I know why you had the small stick vibration 8:53 I think you forgot to stow the landing light on the wing and it might have been causing the small vibration once we were cutting along at speed.

[@dusty4459]

Never mind looks like someone beat me to the solution!

[@CaptLawrence]

really enjoy your videos specifically

[@UkDave3856]

I’ve noticed the occasional control surface flutter on the P47 too. It doesn’t seem to affect the plane at all, but the stick shakes visibly

[@philstyle]

I think it started as we were diving on that formation of 190s. But I cannot pin it down to any airframe or engine setting. Weird. Noone else reported anything similar, so I must be doing something different/ wrong to the other guys.

[@TheAchtungspitfire]

@@philstyle Could the flutter be related to the landing light being out? Can see it a few of the flybys.

[@philstyle]

@@TheAchtungspitfire that could be it. I did have it set to "off" but it might have still been extended? Is that possible in the p47?

[@TheAchtungspitfire]

​@@philstyle Looks like it has its own bind for retract - might be worth a shot

[@philstyle]

@@TheAchtungspitfire that's bound to be it. Thanks.

[@joepapp01]

Oh how I’ve missed this. Thanks for all the hard work to share this adventure with us viewers, Phil!

[@philstyle]

Nice to have you drop by again :)

[@g3tphukcedgoogl3]

Your content is sick bro! I have DCS and a HOTAS + rudder pedals just need VR or Track IR to complete it all

[@mrgray3474]

That was fun to watch

[@thENDweDIE]

5:40 Lift off..!! 15:00 BOOM..!!

[@adriankennedy4099]

Good one Phil

[@patrickoneill2726]

Why did some people take off with flaps down? I've just got the p51 it's a learning curve 🤣

[@indifferentbadger]

Is that stick vibrating a visiual artifact, or something happening in sim, that can't be detected due to no force feedback? Just and interesting thing I noticed.

[@philstyle]

The landing light was not retracted and it was causing turbulent air, and the flutter. See the other comments.

[@thecircusfreak5364]

Phil, any thoughts on taking the code from Enigma and making a dynamic campaign for DCS? I think that’d be the best server in DCS.

[@philstyle]

1. I would not "take" code from anyone, unless it was explicitly offered up for use 2. Dynamic campaigns almost always end up being non-historical beasue they give individual players far too much power to control the strategic environment. That's not what I am into.

[@davewellings6281]

Excellent Vid!

[@Mysticpuma]

Hi Phil. Can I ask what Mobo, CPU, GPU and Memory you are running? Lovely and smooth video, great graphics, very impressive footage too. Really love the Jug! I have been using my old 6700K and 1070 for an absolute age and next year I am doing a 13900k build, probably with a 3090 rather than 40xx build. Cheers, MP Oh and I assume that's VR, so what headset are you running? Thanks again 👍

[@philstyle]

I always put my specs in the video descriptions, but I forgot this time! I updated it now. Also: My specs: AMD 5900x, AMD 6900XT, 64GB 3200 RAM, Auros Pro X570 motherboard, 2TB M.2 drive VKB SCG Joystick with GF3 base and 20cm extension Warthog Throttle I have MFG Crosswind rudder pedals Reverb G2 VR headset for flying

[@Mysticpuma]

@@philstyle thanks for the reply. So a good but not top end system gives great results. Appreciated, thank you 👍

[@brlowe1]

What do you use for mouse control when flying in VR? Love your videos. You are lucky to have a great group to fly with, none of my gaming friends will do any flight simulators.

[@philstyle]

I hardly ever use the mouse, but when I do...I just use the mouse. The cursor shows in VR

[@brlowe1]

@@philstyle So you have all the controls you need setup on your Hotas setup? I need to come up with a setup config with only the stuff I need, I always try to add too much.

[@philstyle]

@@brlowe1 95% of what I need is whilst flying is bound to hotas, yep. I use keys 1 through to 9 on keyboard for the startup sequence. Then I can do the startup by touch, without needing to see the keyboard.

[@brlowe1]

@@philstyle Sorry last question, Have you ever done a video showing your setup? I tried to search but could not find anything.

[@philstyle]

@@brlowe1 no, I don't think I have shred my setup.

[@kevoman4980]

what server?

[@philippedereviere9046]

Hi sir, I'm writing from France & I'm happy you're back with a high quality video. I'm always looking at utube to see if you uploaded some new warbirds videos. To me, you're the best in the business. It's always a pleasure to watch your vids. I'm learning so much every time. I have 3 questions. Is the Mossie available on DCS (Mossie's my best loved twin-engines-do-everything warbird)? Are there campaigns built for her? If so, will you play and upload episodes on your youtube channel? THX for your aswers. Take care & be safe. Philippe.

[@philstyle]

Hey. I am sure there is content for the mosquito, but I do not own that module, so I do not have plans to play/ fly it.

[@Carter_12]

Figured you’d be posting exclusively IL2 footage

[@JFulls94]

Hey do you run OpenXR? What are your VR settings? Love the videos glad to see you back with WW2 DCS!

[@luizengrazia5169]

Dat Parkinson’s on the stick though

[@philstyle]

That's the "control flutter" I was describing in the video which resulting in the straight-in emergency landing.

[@garymyers6638]

Christ, hold your head still every once in a while. I know you're playing so you have to keep your view outside to keep from getting shot but we're watching and we need a little stability to catch up. It can, given the correct circumstances, cause a little bit of nausea. Does the VR system that you use have a stabilizing thing like electric cameras use; a steady cam kinda thing?

[@philstyle]

No chance mate. That's just how VR is, even your heartbeat causes the headset to move. . I already have the damping turned up to 100% for that very purpose. Don't like it? Unsub/ block the channel.

[@acegh0st]

That’s just the nature of recording VR gameplay. If the image movement in the headset wasn’t exactly 1:1 with your head movement you’d get motion sick really quickly while you were flying. Unfortunately, that means when people watch the recording back they see every little movement of your head. That’s why a lot of people just don’t make VR content for DCS (including Phil, bar a small sampling of videos). The only way you can really do it differently is to use the replay to re-record the whole mission without the headset and use TrackIR to recreate your basic head movements, but that’s a lot of work for not much reward (even though Phil’s done that in the past, as well). This is actually remarkably stable. A lot of the recordings I’ve done are totally unwatchable 😂

[@BunialskiTrip]

Was that a human opponent or AI?

[@philstyle]

If its not obvious, I'd say that's a good thing.

[@grahamhuff4564]

Sorry to say Phil, not your best video. Recording in VR is very difficult viewing. The amount of head movement causes the picture to jerk around far too much. I had to stop viewing after 5 mins, it was just too uncomfortable on my eyes.

[@philstyle]

Time to unsub then. VR recordings are just like that.

[@grahamhuff4564]

@@philstyle yes, but they still offer poor viewing.
