Fighter Pilot Takes on Ace Combat, DCS World, Flight Simulator & More! (Best Hits)

U.S. Navy pilot David Gregor returns for an exciting new Experts React compilation! This time, he's taking to the virtual skies to analyze and critique some of the most popular flight simulation video games. Get ready for an in-depth reaction as David breaks down the realism and accuracy of gameplay footage from titles like Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, DCS World, and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.
But that's not all - David will also be going hands-on by actually playing Ace Combat 7 himself, including some of its released DLC content. With his real-world experience as a naval aviator, he'll provide invaluable insights into how these flight sims stack up against the real thing. From realistic aircraft handling to combat maneuvers, dogfighting tactics, and more - no detail will be left unexamined in this must-see experience for simulation game enthusiasts and aviation fans alike. #expertsreact #FlightSim #AceCombat #AviationGaming #PilotReacts #simulation

I wouldnt call ace combat 7 a flight Sim game, that's like calling call of duty a milsim game, it just isn't. It would be an accurate flight Sim if you live in a fictional world where the rule of cool defies physics and reality.

[@emanueletintori1229]

That is the neat part mate, that ip is as far as we can get for consoles.

[@john-wx7gr]

personally, I would think that calling ace combat a flight sim would be closer to calling doom eternal a milsim or CS:GO a movement shooter like quake. ace combat is still a great game, just not realistic

Gamology flunked it when they didn't show either Growling Sidewinder and/or Longshot. They are the kings of air milsim on YT.

[@yosefarfianbudiman]

Agree, and i think just maybe they really need to show a video that have a really intense combat for example like i-16 vs P-47 from growling sidewinder.

[@roomstogo2245]

Hands down. They are the hallmark in top tier air to air simulation combat

That didn't go so well, though.

[@Anonymous_UserOrNot]

Exactly. And many countries including the US have been deveoping such systems atm

[@bzipoli]

the Harpy does this since..... 1989. one of the launching platforms is a truck (military truck) he doesn't know because the US uses exclusively HARMs launched from planes. Harpys (and harops) were just used in the nagorno-karabakh war to destroy russian-made SAMs and other stuff (along with other kind of ordnance). although they're technically not UAVs, they're loitering munitions (unlike the shaheds), but the size is about the same.

[@ohbassoon]

i still have no idea why you guys showed him dcs, then showed him the f22 mod, b2 mod, and then someone who was new to dcs!

[@zimenoschosch6764]

because they are cheap and dont want to spend the few bucks on a module

[@TheSilverwolf1001]

They could’ve just showed Growlingsidewinder for DCS.

[@SA80TAGE]

@@TheSilverwolf1001 Longshot too.... even OperatorDrewski (when he isn't landing on roads in pvp for ambushes) would've been a better choice than what they used, he still at least knows what he's doing in terms of milsim play

[@manny4707]

@@SA80TAGE it hurt that his starting complaints were that it was unrealistic to be that close in a taxi situation because never in dcs have I gotten that close to another active plane unless their taking off with me. Most of the things wrong were user error or just janky third party mods instead of a proper module. sad. OperatorDrewski would have been a killer example, he learned DCS from the start to now and its been a year or two since hes been playing it so hes pretty well versed now.

[@user-hd6yx5su8p]

I'm Japanese and have been playing the Ace Combat series since the original PS1 game. Ace Combat's genre is often misunderstood; Ace Combat is not a "real flight simulator", but rather a "flight shooting" game. In Ace Combat, the amount of missiles carried is unrealistic, which is what makes it so exciting for players to shoot down enemy jets and other planes with a large number of missiles. It's no wonder that the protagonists of all-time Ace Combat are able to pull off combat maneuvers that would normally make you faint. Since the hardware transitioned to PS2, Ace Combat has been depicted realistically from the pilot's perspective and cockpit perspective, and in the game option settings, the altitude can be changed from ``meters'' to ``feet,'' and the speed can also be changed from ``meters'' to ``knots.'' You can do it, but people say things like ``Ace Combat's flight speed is impossible,'' but you can tell by changing the display settings. 

[@mattfromwiisports4910]

Isn’t this a old video getting reused

Yeah the channel is on life support.

[@timhefty504]

It's a supercut

[@hermanjohnson9180]

[@hernerweisenberg7052]

Knots is an aeronautical term, back in the day they used to fly real low, open the canopy and cast the log, counting the knots by hand as the line slipped thought their fingers.

[@klssn34]

As soon as I saw @airforceproud95 clips used I knew it was over. And that's FSX not the new one.

[@Emperor_Beardo]

Having him react to Airforceproud is fucking funny to me I dunno why

[@desperado1265]

Why did you show msf2020 with just goofing around and glitches instead of proper flights. Ace combat has also terrible bugs but instead this video showed the others in a better light than msf2020 🤦🏽

[@thealdoc]

And half of that wasn't even msf2020 it was X

[@dakotacooke7543]

I love your videos bro keep it up and you’re the best.❤❤❤

[@ARSAMES007]

What makes DCS so special is that it’s engine is remarkable and rare when it comes to the physics portrayed on the simulator , almost everything is identical to real flight combat besides the Gs as they used the flight manuals from the older models of the F 16 , F 18 hornet , F 14 , and the F 15 E etc… they are all declassified manuals specially if they are full fidelity. Hats off to Eagle Dynamics outstanding work!!!🍀

[@Full_Deflection]

That CJ4 is pretty spot on.

[@hernerweisenberg7052]

The large plane dont take longer to accelerate because its heavier.... but because it has lower TWR. If you slap a big ass engine too it, it will accelerate just as fast as a fighter jet.

[@KennethRrvik]

That night time landing at 0:07 is on final to ENAL RWY 24, Vigra, my childhood home (The island, not the runway, although...) . Fun to see it included!

Soooo many better videos of air combat to show a combat pilot. Ace Combat is an arcade, Flight Simulator doesn't model combat, and the DCS footage was modded content with new players that didn't know wtf they were doing.

[@richardjwordsworth]

Hey, Gamology! Nice work (as always) but could you just clear up what is said at the start of segment at 07:46? "You see those X's in the display? That's a 'break X' - you look at that as you're [inaudible] weapons." The captions say, "as you're employing weapons," but I don't know whether that was just a plausible guess from the KZbin AI. Would you be lovely and just confirm that for me and if it *is* "employing weapons", could you please ask David what the purpose of the "break X" is and *why* that's when you see it then? Is it the plane telling you to "brake" like in a car - to slow down so the weapons don't come off the rail or out of the bomb bays at too high a speed and overshoot the target? Essentially a, "You are going too fast for me [the plane] to give you an accurate picture of where your weapons will hit if you release now, without slowing down."? It feels like he just got distracted keeping up with the footage to explain what that was. I'm interested and I'd appreciate it!

[@einherz]

big birds have very big power overkill when flight without normal load of fuel and cargo/people. so any of them as they are relatively empty can take off as jetfighter:)

in msfs and fsx with all default models you have an opportunity to got something 3rd party really close to the rl. it's buffetings, stall, spins, over g effects, in fsx-p3d even really good weapon systems if use vrs tackpack for different 3rd models or vrs f/a-18e... in msfs2020 even in default ac you can set different settings, where you will destroyed on overspeed over g hard landing engine overstress. actually i don't even think is correct compare stuff like ace combat with fsx-p3d-msfs-dcs... in any way thank you, very interesting:)

Ace combat 7 is an arcade style of flight combat, not a simulator. Instead of carrying 4 missile a fighter could be equipped with 40 or 100. It's more about action, combat while flying iconic jets

[@mattin5850]

in AC7, I don't think the speed is in knots.... maybe he has metric system or imperial on so km/h or mph
