This FAKE fighter jet will BREAK You

• Impossible! Max Graphi...
Today we're getting back into the skies of VTOL VR, a flight sim designed from the ground up with Virtual Reality (VR) in mind, in the F-45A. A virtual fighter jet based on the very real F-35B and F-35C. VTOL VR is a great stepping stone to more serious flight sims, and honestly, it could be your ONLY option if you don't already own a HOTAS. This session was in preparation for the upcoming VTOL VR update which should include the EA-24G Mischief, a 3-way combination of a F-22A, EA-18G, and F-14, as well as a bunch of changes around electronic warfare. I can't wait!

Enjoyed the VTOL VR gameplay? Let me know what I should try next here! Edit: holy crap, where are all you people coming from??

[@Sandboxcode]

Yes

[@vincentvoncarnap2473]

Try the helo in a random multiplayer lobby!

[@Sandboxcode]

OK, serious reply. We are for you- whatever you make.

[@Cheiff117]

its a great game ! cant wait for the NEW TOMCAT

[@TheWatchmanNews]

Hey there I am interested in this game and appreciate your video. What was that camera thing you used? I assume its what you are recording video with. Is that camera tool available for the Quest 2? I am kind of new to VR and at 51 I am not as spry on picking up things. Much thanks for your video and any direction you can point me.

[@Tepnox]

This game always rules for some sessions while taking a break from DCS. I really think ED could learn alot about correct VR implementation or nice usability of weapon systems in their game from this one. Loving the AH-94 attack helicopter in VTOL.

[@Tuuvas]

Yeah man, I forgot how much I can actually enjoy VTOL VR. And now that I know custom missions are stupid simple to find and download, I'll likely be hopping into this game more often

[@imbalos]

I honestly dont know what ED could learn from VTOL VR. There is so much functionality just on the HOTAS of real aircraft that you cant ever adapt all of it to VR controllers. In the first place, VTOL VR is so comfortable in VR because the entire game was made around that, not the other way around.

[@Chad-xh8zs]

I actually prefer VTOL at this point

[@minecrafter0505]

I used to test the early VTOL VR versions with you back in the day (InvisibleStrike). I love how far this game has come, and I'm super excited about that new DLC as well. Adding electronic warfare is going to open up a lot of tactics for Coop and PvP.

[@N3TWORK_MG]

It's a modern f14

[@flyingreindeer7097]

When is it coming

[@magicalwafflez5395]

​@@flyingreindeer7097according to bahamuto it's coming g out sometime in the week before or the week right after new years

[@LazyBoot]

One small tip: when using the TGP in head-slave mode, you can use the controls you normally slew up/down to control zoom.

[@foldervtolvr]

You can also click the stick to lock anything you are looking at, super useful for switching targets quickly. Also, if the TGP/EOTS is set as the SOI, holding the stick will set it to head mode. You can control the TGP without ever touching the screen

[@Rockethead293]

Oh hello there Lazy from hoggit

[@Tuuvas]

Neat! Thanks for the tips! I really need to look up all the shortcuts before going up again.

[@flyingreindeer7097]

What is slew

[@TheIke444]

The AH-94 has a very nice autopilot. Makes the usual helo monotony way more tolerable. A desktop window pinned doesnt hurt either ahah.

[@Tuuvas]

I really need to do a video on the AH-94. It's a lot of fun to use, but I just need to find the right mission for it

[@burrito9603]

Extremely awesome, and exactly when I started playing Vtol VR Again after like a 6 month break. I missed crashing 100 million dollar aircraft into the ground at the speed of sound with both wings either missing or on fire.

[@BumpyLumpy1]

The camera angles on this are great man, i know that this game can be kind of hard to make the camera look good on the exterior and manage to fly a jet at the same time. definitely looking forward to the F-14 in vr! 🤟

[@Tuuvas]

Thanks! I tried playing around with a bunch of the available camera modes, but I ended up landing on simply "Random", 10sec, and MSSL. It gave the best variety of shots. I wonder if there's a way to have a choose which shots are available to the random cycler.

[@BumpyLumpy1]

@@Tuuvas That would come in very handy, :)

[@vuzz5728]

My setup isnt quite good enough to do DCS well, but VTOLVR is so good because of how little you need

[@liamseven1604]

i played vtol vr for the first time yesterday, was shown by a friend what to do in the trainer jet easy. i then had laterally no problem flying this jet, took off normally, took off with vtol and the apposite as well.

[@SilEntsilenthunter_]

would love to see another video in the, EF-24G when it comes out

[@Swatmat]

we all would

[@Tuuvas]

yup yup! Will for sure be looking at the Mischief once it's out

[@ravenheartwraith]

heeeey Tuuvas! found you as a controller jocky on DCS, now you are in my world with Vtol Vr! going to enjoy watching this.

[@Tuuvas]

haha you should check out my ollllld VTOL VR videos. They aren't great, but they exist!

[@docholliday1811]

[@nicholasrodriguez2256]

for the voice commands you have to say "wingman" then give them a command EX: "wing man spread far"

[@Epikboy710]

Very nice

[@jordkiller]

lmao, would def want to play with you and the new jet :P

[@mattalford3932]

This is my favorite flight sim.

[@VIDGamer]

Quick tip, maybe record completely in first person via the s-cam, it gives a better quality. unless you wanna capture both, it's best to use that. i tend to switch to third person when i want to and switch back to first person when i'm not using it.

[@Tuuvas]

Yeah, I was debating on sticking to only 1st person and using only the s-cam for the stabilized view. But I REALLY wanted the varied angles and external shots too. I'm still investigating a better way to handle 1st person while still allowing s-cam to randomize.

[@VIDGamer]

@@Tuuvasyeah i would recommend switching to whatever mode you want whenever something epic happens. about to do some sick formation flight? switch to third person. missiles flying at you? switch to either third or first depending on what you prefer. nothing interesting happening? keep it to first person so if something funny and video-worthy happens(eg. somebody takes off from the carrier while someone is landing and the guy landing crashes into the heat deflector) it will be high quality and look good. best thing we can do rn. EDIT: forgot to mention earlier but just wanted to make sure you knew that they added a new g-limit system so if you use it dodging missiles will be easier. also turning off flight controls. the only plane you can do this in was the t-55 but in the f45 if you turn off the main battery the plane will fly but the flight computer will be off so you have essentially supermanueverability, just really uncontrollable and dangerous, will bend the airframe if overused.

[@Duvstep910]

bought vtol vr today cause of you

[@kaistefanfrakowski8280]

is this a custom mission? nice vid bdw

[@potatotomato9576]

its open world combat v1 for the f45a (singleplayer only??)

[@ShawnF0912]

Not sure if u are aware of some of the capabilities of the weapons and the plane, since u r coming in after a while. The agm-145 are LOAL capable. So u can set a gps mark on the ground near some hostiles and set it as spi and fire the missile. The missile will pick a target and home in. So u can get creative with how you employ it, like firing it behind a hill etc. Good for SEAD/DEAD. The aim-120 D is data link capable, so you dont need to turn ur own radar on to guide the missile. And since the f-45 can get enemy plane position from their emission or from the eots, most cases you never need to turn on the radar.

[@Tuuvas]

Oh man, that's sick! I'll DEFINITELY need to try out the radar-off stuff next time I fly the F-45

[@LazyBoot]

it sounds like the RWR/ARAD stuff will get toned down in the next update though, so might not be as reliable in the F-45 anymore either... Though datalink from overlord or flight members will still cover lots of cases.

[@ShawnF0912]

@@LazyBoot I've not heard about any nerfing on the f-45 for ew. But the e-24 steam page does mention that it has the same 5th gen send fusion and DL capabilities as the f-45. I think signal triangulation or some kind of complexity will be introduced and that'll introduce more depth.

[@LazyBoot]

​@@ShawnF0912 the main change was shown in the of the shorts released a few days ago, and while shown on the FA-26 it wasn't mentioned as being specific to only it. The change that was mentioned showed that you'll only get azimuth and not range from the ARAD systems. As part of the updates to the radar/rwr/ewar systems.

[@ShawnF0912]

@@LazyBoot had a closer look at the short update 2 with the f-45 at the end , and there was range reading on the screen when he jams the Sam site.

[@Tuuvas]

Thanks! I believe it's called "Open World Combat V1" for the F-45

[@Ghost_III.]

I'm just wondering, what mission are you playing? Is it custom or is it in the "stock" game?

[@Tuuvas]

It's a custom mission made by a community member, but I can't remember the exact name. Something like ... "Open World Combat". Basically, one of the top-voted custom missions for the F-45A.

Hi tuuvas it's me panic sorry if I don't come to your dcs streams anymore I can't connect my PS4 controller to ds4 windows(it doesn't recognize the controller) so I can't play dcs. Do you have any tips or a possible solution?

[@Tuuvas]

Unfortunately I can't be sure what's up without actually seeing what is happening for you. My only suggestion at this time is to just switch to Steam instead for setting up mouse control

[@TankzboyGamingYT]

Were you trying to say if a F-18 Hornet and F22 Had a baby? Although the plane that will be coming out most resembles an F-14?

[@Tuuvas]

I was saying it was a 3-way love child. F-22 stealth characteristics, EA-18G EW suite, and of course the cool factor and look of the F-14

[@the_engineergaming_sfm]

if i remmber correctly for radio with your flight it's "wingmen, insert command here"

@@Tuuvas That must be a beast 👍👍 what made you go with a Quest Pro over say a Pimax Crystla or Varjo Aero?

[@Tuuvas]

I've generally enjoyed using Oculus/Meta headsets since my first CV1. So that influenced my decision, especially considering I have a bunch of games in the Oculus/Meta library. Another reason is I play DCS in VR for content creation, and even a 4090 has a difficult time keeping up with my recording configuration for DCS. I don't need to add even more pixels to render on top of that with the Aero or Crystal

[@jeepinbanditrider]

The GBU you dropped doesn't track. It simply goes to a GPS point you tell it to.

[@Tuuvas]

The GBU-53 I dropped does have an optical sensor, allowing it to track moving targets. See here from the VTOL VR wiki: "The most important note about the GBU-53 is that it contains a built-in optical targeting system like the AGM-145 Ballista, giving it full fire-and-forget capabilities against moving targets. Consistent lock is not required for any targeting."

[@jeepinbanditrider]

@@Tuuvas Ah I was thinking it was the 39.

dude: names 3 planes without deltas and canards. me: it the child of an f-35 and a rafale, and it clearly has the eyes of its mother.

I mean, teeeeechnically the F-45 is really just the C 160 concept of the X-35 project. Nothing to do with the Rafale.

Your voice issue was for whatever reason, they don't respond to "Flight" which I agree is absolutely wild trash. The entire flight responds to either "Just command", and you can order your #2 with "wingman" command." Still can't give indovidual flight aircraft orders.

[@DarkstarthenightwingSUBSCRIBE]

Next time you boot the game check your radio panel before using voice commands. I almost always have to pull up the oculus virtual desktop and switch focus from steam VR to the game itself (red text over the radio panel will tell you if the game isn't focused) Also I think there are several words for addressing your flight but I always use 'wingmen'. For air traffic control you have to address the carrier or airfield by name/number and I believe the name of that airfield is Akutan. And I prefer to leave the radio hot instead of ptt. Its never interrupted me aside from AWACS

[@cptslimm8023]

4:40 TURN YOUR RADAR OFF DO NOT USE THE RADAR ON THE 45 it is a last resort only thing, use eots in night mode and scan the sky instead

[@otische8389]

Generally if your are he only airborne aircraft or there are not many friendly aircraft around momentary having the radar on and then back off is generally a bit better for situational awareness since without friendly radars detecting things for you or enemy radars emitting you can often find targets getting within 10 miles before the DAS detects them
