  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 มิ.ย. 2024
  • In this video, we're going to summarize some of the best VR flight simulators available right now. From the more relaxed Aerofly FS4 and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 to the more intense combat flight simulators like DCS and VTOL VR. Of course, all these simulators can be played in VR. And remember, everyone, this is just the beginning of VR.

    Ok I know Xplane isn't as popular anymore as it once was, before MSFS came to set the new standard, but I think it still deserves a mention if you're going to make a list of best VR flight sims.

    DCS as of now has:
    1.DLSS and multicore support to give you better performance in VR.
    2.Supports VR natively.
    3.Supports Hand tracking natively without a 3rd party software.
    Nice video overall but there are some misinformation about DCS in the video.

      Thanks for the information! What I meant was that, unlike VTOL VR or Aerofly FS4, DCS was not built from the ground up with VR in mind. It certainly supports VR natively, and I only play DCS in VR. Fortunately for us, DCS has received some really nice performance upgrades for VR!

      @@laubox I mean, sure, but thats when comparing with other titles, looking at DCS on it's own, it still does have dynamic campaigns.... albeit multiplayer community made ones for sure (let's not completely shit on their hard work, they're not the devs and can only do so much with what they have, they deserve a shout out for stepping up, as do a lot of games online community pillars do). Most I think will allow for the free to play SU(25?) module... just think it's worth mentioning at least, as a stepping stone for those that want to give it a try for free.

    I used to love X-Plane... was fun just to try a bunch of different aircraft. I remember struggling to figure out how to land the harrier. Also some cool fictional I think Japanese plane that had massive power and could go in space. Does it have virtual controls? I really don't like breaking immersion without having hands to manipulate controls in the plane. I do play a lot of VTOL VR and gotta say it is probably the smoothest experience for all VR flight sims, but I get bored with the graphics pretty quick. I really like scenery in my games.

  • @NLarsen1989

    You made a video just one month ago showing the hand tracking in DCS so I'm a little confused why you say DCS doesn't have it?

    • @laubox
      @laubox  หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Yes, that's true. However, if you compare the hand tracking in DCS with VTOL VR or Aerofly FS4, you really can't say DCS has it mastered. Certainly, you can see your hands in DCS, but switching or rotating knobs is extremely clumsy, and in some modules, it doesn't even work. Compared to how VTOL VR or Aerofly FS4 manage it, DCS simply doesn't match up.

    I have both DCS & IL2 and I prefer IL2 because DCS is more of a 'Display Pilot Simulator' and I want a WW2 simulator. As far as WW2 aircraft go, it just recreats a handful of aircraft currently seen in flying displays regardless of whether these aircraft ever saw combat against each other. If you buy Spitfire in DCS it will be a Spitfire IX and you will be flying it against a 1944 model Bf109-K and a 1944 FW190-D. If you want to fly Russian then those 1944 German fighters will be fighting an 1-16 from 1940 ;-) In IL2 you will be facing opponents that actually fought each other at each stage of the war. Also IL2 has a much better combat experience in term of size of maps, number of players and number of servers to choose from.

    Oh. Falcon still lives? Geez I put a lot of hours in that long ago. The 3 ring binder flight manual (with fold out map) is still epic (about 2 1/2 - 3 inches thick) and is a reminder to me how developers keep getting cheaper and cheaper.
    Bought my Rift before they made hand controllers which was fine. Not interested in waving my arms around - a KB/M or flight stick is what I want to use. Too bad tings have changed were you NEED them instead of being a choice with multiple inputs for program access.

    DCS was absolutely made for VR and that’s how a lot of us fly it. Just takes some work getting things right because there are so many HMDs out there. Meta is no a good one because it’s not native to working with PC games, so naturally you will jump through more hoops. Pimax is the absolute best for any flight sim.

    • @billcedarheath387
      @billcedarheath387 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      A recent survey of the DCS community has only 30% using VR and the majority using some form of head tracking, like TrackIR, in the 55% range. 15% fly without any form of tracking or VR at all.
      By those numbers “A lot” (70%) do not use VR.

    • @samuelhayes5198
      @samuelhayes5198 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Dcs is absolutely not designed for VR, you can hardly read the switch labels without a £3k headset. There's no proper hand/controller interaction that isn't just a workaround of flat screen mode. Lastly it's impossible to see a plane more than a couple hundred metres away without this weird binoculars thing. Much prefer VTOL VR. Most stuff ported to vr just isn't good unfortunately.
      Don't even get me started on the f-14, why did they think a texture with 99% switches illegible/unlabelled was a good idea?

    • @samuelhayes5198
      @samuelhayes5198 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Also the controls is a problem, in VR you need simplified controls as you can't rely on feeling for the right switch in the cockpit while trying to watch an opponent. I get it's a core part of the game but even flat screen is unplayable without atleast £300 in controls

    War Thunder Sim is legit. Its not full on real, more like the FC3 planes or IL2 as far as controls go. Gotta try Simulation EC mode, and pick a populated lobby. I give up on DCS because of terrible VR performance, and have been stuck in WT Sim for the last year
    Give it another try, except this time, switch to Sim mode.. and instesd of clicking the play button in the bottom right corner, select the Room List and pick a room with players.. its not as Arcadey as hoggit would have you believe. And the damage models are way better than DCS

      No, dcs does not have dynamic campaigns. Long promised by ED, but not there. Falcon’s dynamic campaign is widely held as being the platinum standard, esp when you consider it was implemented for a pentium 2. DCS has scripted campaigns. The closest thing to bms’ campaigns is liberation but that’s turn based and dcs can barely cope with the number of units required.

    VtolVR and War Thunder aren't exactly flight simulators: the first has simulator mechanics but does not depict any real aircraft so it's not properly a simulator IMHO, the latter depicts real aircraft but has quite arcade mechanics. X-plane is a simulator and has VR. Condor 2 also is a simulator and has VR.
