Hi. Welcome to my TH-cam channel.
I created a website called COMBATSIM.COM, but this is my personal TH-cam channel where I post gameplay videos and the occasional gaming hardware and software reviews.
If you enjoy watching old-ish guys play multiplayer coop in ArmA 3 and DCS World, you've come to the right place. My friends and I are not hardcore reenactors of real military strategy, tactics, and communications ... we run, fly, and drive around the countryside, swear quite a bit, get killed a lot, laugh at each other's mistakes, have the occasional game-induced tantrum, and just have a fun time.
If all goes according to schedule, there should be 3 or 4 new videos per week.

9x kill straight up
Deacon points me toward a MiG kill. It's a straight-up through the clouds kill with a 9X sidewinder. Warning: strong language.

DCS World | Go Pro Style Cockpit Video How-To
มุมมอง 8174 ปีที่แล้ว
Due to popular demand (2 comments) on my first Go-Pro style cockpit video (th-cam.com/video/Is0s0lv8JsE/w-d-xo.html), I've created this short how-to video in which I explain the various camera view key bindings I used to setup my video shots. I also promised in the video I would try to provide contact info for StingTV who made the DCS movie with live action actors in place of the default pilot ...
More carrier landing silliness

DCS World | Pilot camera angles

Just testing some pilot "Go Pro" type camera angles. BTW, I had to fly the plane while viewing the camera angles you see in this footage. So yeah, I flew the plane while looking at myself. Landing was a challenge, too. Check my follow-up video tutorial on how to setup these types of "Go-Pro" camera angles: th-cam.com/video/7wKId0psULQ/w-d-xo.html Music: www.bensound.com

how do i stop the constant popping noise i find it rather annoying
Hello from Greece I lost my left hand by car accident. Could i play AceCombat 7 one handed and fully enjoy the game with this Joystick? Your opinion matters! tnx in advance
Does it work on PC
He said yes at the beginning
It works with ps5 edition?
Can you play war thunder?
Comprehensive and well put-together. Thanks!
bro the high sensitivity on the throttle doesnt matter if your play ac7 because in a dogfight in that game your gonna change throttle quickly (common sense anyone should know that). It aint dcs or vtol
Good review,, Ace ! I wonder if it would work on a PS3 as well? I got one for my X-Plane 11 & War Thunder on PC. Kill 'em all..let God sort 'em out !
I just got the Xbox version! It's great for msfs2020 and star wars! I'm gonna get ace combat soon.
I have this T-flight and have been using in in Aces High. It works good but when i am trying to keep my hat switch view on a boggy and firing it snaps out of the view and runs my fire. I have to refocus my view and that means loosing a kill in a real battle. it this normal for these hotas? the hotas needs a few more buttons
do you use trackir for looking around in flight simulators. if not, what else do you use? im thinking about buying a joystick but i dont want to spend the extra money on trackir to go with it, is there any other way of doing this?
I do use TrackIR. Back in the day, and for many years, I simply used my joystick's POV hat and a few hot keys on the keyboard for external views (if that was allowed in online coop gameplay). If you want to save a few bucks, and you have an old Playstation with eye tracking, just do a TH-cam search for "DIY TrackIR Build Guide" for a complete guide to homebrewing your own eye-tracking rig. That said, TrackIR is a worthwhile investment if you plan on spending a lot of time in combat simulation games.
@@combatsim Thanks for the advice!
alguien sabe si funciona en war thunder?
I bought one of these. Initially it seemed great until the drift started after about 100 hours play time. Spent some time pulling it apart, troubleshooting, and it would work alright for a few hours but honestly it's kind of a POS so I decided to get something better. I don't want to spend my gaming time doing repair, I'm not playing Joystick Repair Simulator 2022.
Your voice is Better than the Joystick itself
lol ... thanks 😄
Just picked this HOTAS up on sale for $40, and your review was what got me to pull the trigger. Thanks for this!
HOW DO TOU GET THE ALEN OUT????
have had this joystick for a year, and my experience is not dissimilar from many others. thing works fine for a year with my only complaint being the notch at 50% throttle, then about 3-4 weeks after the warranty expires the whole thing starts to degrade fast. in one week the stick had started to randomly input right-hand roll commands without input, and the throttle would jitter around without input, giving me random throttle inputs (70% throttle when set to 0%). as you would expect, these things made the stick unusable, how am i supposed to taxi or in-flight refuel in dcs when the throttle jumps from 10% to full burner without warning and then refuses to come back down even when wiggling the throttle. stick works fine for a year, but depending on your luck, it'll all go to shit pretty quick after the warranty expires.
I'm still buying it. As well yall are boring. The fun part is fixing it and making it better. I never bought a warranty for anything as well if it breaks I buy the parts and fix it. Or usually it's not broken just something loose
Now that it's 2022, does the joystick work perfectly
suuuuch a good video! thank you!
Best review in all Internet, very well made, congrats.
Run..don't walk to get your T.Flight
Thrust.....Master 😂
Thrustmaster was founded in 1990 by the then 65-year-old engineer Norm Winningstad. The name was apt because his complex electronic throttles controlled thrust levels in simulated jet engines. Also, and I'm just speculating here, he probably thought it sounded more marketable than Hi-Tech Electronic Throttle Quadrant. Mr. Winningstad served in the United States Navy during WWII as an electronic technician's mate. In the 1960's, Mr. Winningstad worked at such landmark electronics firms as Tektronix and was considered "one of the leading brains during its 1960s heydey" (quote taken from his Wikipedia page). After Tektronix, he went on to help start one of the first supercomputing companies, Floating Point Systems, that later was acquired by Cray Business Systems. He also helped to found Lattice Semiconductor which made field-programmable gate arrays ... which are used in all sorts of applications including flat-panel televisions and laptops. But yeah, Thrust ... Master ... as you put it, could mean something else. I'm sure Bevis and Butthead would have a field day with it, but honestly, as clever as you no doubt are, I'm not so sure your comment was worth the lols.
Just came across this review. I have the Xbox & PC version of this, and bought the rudder system as well. I'm relatively new to these simulators; but was wondering if anyone has posted a DCS profile(s) for this HOTAS? I know they vary user to user, but I am looking for a baseline.
Ultimately, it will depend on which aircraft you fly in DCS as the controls vary wildly between airframes. I fly the F/A-18C Hornet in DCS and found this T.Flight profile: www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3300994/ ... That might serve as a good starting point.
@@combatsim Thank you! This really helps with some of my choice aircraft.
i didnt knew that hotas was "hands on throttle and stick" anyways i'll keep it as "hot ass"
what mode it is?
Thanx a lottttty you help me alot , bcoz of u i download the driver now its work
I’m new to the love of flight games and simulators can I grab a like minded gamer to help me spend some money on games of such im currently setting up my ace combat 7 via ps4 using my thrustmaster T flight Hotas 4 and help on mountain to chair armrest? Thanks friends
brilliant review mate, your soothing tones sold me on this and i didnt even want it! lol thanks though you answered all my questions, have subscribed to see what else you can sell me!, luv it mate!!!
I have a Tflight hotas 4 ... I have had it for years. My main game i play is Elite Dangerous on the PC... 5 years so far and it has held up to the combat abuse. Even the great beer spill of 2018... lol.... Voice Attack is a option for the low number of buttons. Voice attack is voice dictation software that does key presses on voice command. Very popular with Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen players. Works with other games as well.
I have heard that it breaks or has drift issues soon after arriving have you experienced this?
@@Rennex04 Nope
Can t-flight hotas be mounted on desk and chair
#crazyrussianpilot :- > Top СУПЕР👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 👍👍👍
I cannot download the driver for some reason..
nevermind! figured it out, my hotas works completely fine now, yay! :D
fantastic review man, cheers for this
Thanks, John. One day I'll get my act together and do more of these hardware reviews and gameplay videos.
posted on april fools and not a april fools video cool lol
comprehensive, tyvm
You find all tflight joysticks will suffer from stick drift at sum point normally pulls left it's the potentiometer needs cleaning out
Excellent review, I'll definitely run out to buy it as Ace Combat is one of the only flight games I enjoy playing.
Great, complete review. Thanks. Looking for a cheaper alternative for Star Citizen so I'll give this a try.
hello good sir, my father plays dcs world, and together we were trying to get this go pro style working and we succeeded in this for like 90% haha. we were satisfied with the way it looks. but then when we changed the camera view from go pro style to normal view (from the pilots eye view i would say with i believe f1 to just look around, we couldnt find a way to with just a press of a button go back to the go pro style camera view and we had to go over the same steps again. as you can already tell probably, my english isn't the best (were from holland) and i thought (assumed) that the zoom external actions would do this but it didnt work for us. so my question is. did i not understand it correctly and is it simply not possible to switch between different camera views and angles like cockpit front view to look over the map and then with the click of a action button go straight back to go pro style camera or did i make a mistake? Thank you in advance, And have a wonderful day.
Unfortunately, I do not believe you can not go back to the same "go-pro" type view after you go back to the F1 pilot view. I agree, this is a shame because it takes a long time to get that perfect go-pro angle that you like best. If anyone reading this knows of a way to save an external view as a quick-key binding, I'd love to hear about how to do that.
@@combatsim thank you so much for the quick response.
Its good for xbox 360?
I thumbs up this video to 667 likes but decided to remove the thumbs up to go back to 666 likes, other than that great video.
Does it rumble?
Negative. No rumble or sensory feedback.
Is there a virtual pilot in the f18
lol thanks for the video :)
is it compatible to microsoft flight simulator 2020?
can i use it for xpane11?
how long is the cable between the joysticks?
You have a telemarketer voice and you pretty much sold me the HOTAS :D
Can this work with battlefront?
My Throttle wouldn’t work with DCS for some reason, do you know what to do?
