VTOL VR Player tries DCS for the First Time | DCS World A-10a

Have almost 2000 hours in DCS mostly in just dogfighting. This was a blast to watch brought back all the memories from 6-7 years ago when I first started playing

But was fun to watch.

[@BiBh375]

Okay, but A-10A is one of the little kid modules to put it into terms similar to the ones that made you try it in the first place. You need to experience something that's not from the flaming cliffs package like the A-10C if you want to get the full enjoyment of the warthog stick, but also the F-18, F-16, F-5 are other good options if you're planning to stick with jets with english cockpits that are easy to learn, as those are actually closer to VTOL VR with clickable cockpits, and you should try them in VR. Also, in reference to the "ease of use" issue you mention in the description, it's really a whole different story when you can operate the plane from inside the plane instead of having to use random keybinds for everything

[@meepcheep314]

They may be easier to learn but they're certainly not worse in terms of flight model realism, it's literally just a non interactable cockpit

[@BiBh375]

@@meepcheep314 no I'm saying they're less intuitive and missing the fun of VR interaction, but yes they've updated the flight dynamics sure

[@spinningsquare1325]

Shut up. Flaming cliffs is love and he is a beginner anyway. Its the best stuff for beginners. If you ever had vr you would know that clicking switches with vr is terrible. And flaming cliffs has the best fps in vr too. Other modules sometimes dipping into unplayable figures with vr

[@romagnolo]

This video is pure GOLD! I loved it, great editing as well. Subscribed! :D

[@auqanova]

this game has a free to play rental system if you use their launcher instead of steam, you can use that to get a 2 week trial of any aircraft. in addition by using their website you get 50% off your first plane. (this is unfortunately another reinstall, but if you plan on sticking around you can migrate your steam modules to the standalone) also if you have a multithread capable cpu there is a multithreaded version available, which should get you just slightly more performance also the a 10 is the most unnecessarily complex thing to learn, youd have an easier life in literally anything else, including the russian equivalent, the su-25t

[@spinningsquare1325]

Correct for everything except the last part. This is the non clickable a-10a which is simpler than even su-25t. It is undeniably easier to pilot and you can't accidentally fuck up your trim with autopilot (no un-trimming lol). Su-25t has more cool toys though and is overall more capable

[@Adelic1]

you know how i do it

[@sugger727p4]

I recommend doing the training and looking at the manual before jumping into any real mission let alone a multiplayer server. Unless in a private game, don't shoot down your teammates even if you are friends because, in real servers, you will get kicked. Especially in that F-18 taxiing situation, doing things like exploding on purpose can get some people mad and could have gotten you kicked if you hit him. You also can play dcs in VR (I think its the best way personally) Edit: I have been made aware that the words above may construct the wrong message, so for previous and new readers. In no way should you completely read the manual for any airframe you wish to fly. There is a man named Chuck who makes excellent guides on each airframe in depth. Looking at the manuals/chucks guide provides a non-anecdotal source of information that can be used in the long run. Many times have I searched up videos for help and found nothing on the topic, but I have found it in the manuals.

[@CueDriver]

Sad you have to add a disclaimer. I have been in DCS for well over 10 years. I have reached the point of the more stricter servers. There are some that just don't joke around. If you just knick the paint of a friendly aircraft you are booted. If you don't call your airbase intentions you get smashed. I recently went back on to the Grim Reapers servers (always a fallback fun place) and instead of flying missions I ended up being the flight instructor for an Apache. Help a guy in the UK learn how to operate it. But their one server is setup to learn the aircraft and make mistakes. Plus there is always someone willing to help you. But that's the reason for that one and a lot of the people I fly with I met through that server. Then you branch out to others servers. The 107th servers are really good. They actually made the mission that are ran on many others servers. Just slight changes here and there. It is great you have servers to choose from that are at whatever level you're at.

[@sugger727p4]

@@CueDriver Yeah, I have been flying with the 107th for about 6 months now in their libs and their big missions. I think the more realistic the gameplay/scenarios are the more fun they are to fly. But, I am not going to push that idea on other people if that's not what they are playing for. But I'm also not gonna let someone live in the deep depths of 4ya lmao.

Started playing dcs about a month ago. I only use the free mustang cause of like old planes more than modern ones. I have a landing success rate of about 0.2%.

[@dpidcoe]

I'm kind of puzzled at the comments about public IP being visible. That's literally how networking works. That's how all servers work. How else is a packet going to get to it if not via the public IP address?

[@Adelic1]

I'm not claiming to be a networking genius but most games allow you to create a coop server and play with your friends without dishing out your public IP to everyone involved. Whether it's hosted by me, or some amazon server the devs are paying for, idk. But either way the IP shouldn't just be on full display lol. That's a nightmare for everyone.

[@esavarem]

if those servers are true p2p instead of being hosted (or proxied) by some dedicated servers, then every instance of the game connected to the lobby will know the IP. Often that's not interesting to the players so the user interface doesn't show it, but it takes about 30 seconds for anyone who wants the IP to find it. Not showing the IP will hide it from youtube/streaming/etc. but not other players Since their inputs/game state has to reach you, they need to know what address to send game updates to. The only way around it is a dedicated server that will forward packets on the player's behalf without them having a direct way to communicate

VTOL VR has dynamic radar cross section calculations in real time for up to 16 real life players and bandits at once, DCS still uses a static radar cross section calculations for all aircraft at any angle. But....pretty clouds.

[@Adelic1]

fr the clouds got me acting some type of way

[@SA80TAGE]

In DCS we learn to operate the actual planes, using the real life procedures for things like startup.... in VTOL you're flying imaginary sci-fi simplified planes, accessible to smooth brains. And yes, pretty clouds, and everything else too, don't pretend VTOL cockpits look anything close to well textured... game practically uses greybox models. If dynamic rcs for competitive play is your only selling point, then I see why you focus on it as your only "one-up" against DCS.... but that stuff just isn't the draw of DCS, I'll give ya a hint what is..... my very first line of this reply.

Quick question how may ovther Flight sims/games have you played before? Like DCS took me 2 hours to figure out after being a virtual pilot for 20 somthing years... Which Vtol VR I have not deared to try dogfighting in yet at 1 hgour 40 minutes played. As I can bearly start and fly the plane and there is no start in flight option most sims have and I have flown VR only in MSFS 2020 and DCS! Like something about having a fake controls is off for me... Though I have to admit Hand/finger tracked with quest 3 virtual desktop was alot of fun and may get me to fly VOTL VR more...

[@Adelic1]

I have like 200 hours in VTOL and like to fly the jets/planes in Battlefield 4/1/5 but I guess those doesn't really count as a sim lol. MSFS looks cool but it doesn't simulate any air combat so I don't really care a whole lot and I haven't given into War Thunder yet. Some VTOL missions will start you in the air, some wont. The startup and weapon systems for VTOL are pretty straightforward. Takes like 15 seconds once you understand. My discord is just "adelic" if you want any help. Feel free to add me.

[@mikec1554]

There's a huge market for gamers who just want an awesome flying experience without learning how to fly IRL. DCS needs a straight up arcade mode with VR cockpit interfaces. Or VTOL needs a high fidelity texture pack lol. Somewhat basic graphics aside the game is incredible for pickup and play.

[@Adelic1]

Yeah there's a wide open space in the market for a somewhat great flightsim/flightsimlite. War Thunders monetization is awful, playing DCS feels like using office software from 2008, and VTOL is great but requires a PC and VR headset, and isn't the most visually appealing to the average gamer. Nuclear Option looks like it could take up this space. I haven't tried it yet but it looks kinda like VTOL but for PC.
