- In this video, I demonstrate how to find and fly the "Mach Loop" in FS2020. A HUGE thanks to Pilot Pyles who 'showed me the way' so I could make this. I fly the epic Just Flight Hawk T1.A

Great fun man and great video, thanks for the pointers!!! 😎
Very late finding this gem. Thank you, though. I have the Hawk but my goal is to hustle an F-14 around the Loop. Once I can safely remove my clown shoes I'll record it as it should be possible to set the hillside civ viewpoints where they really exist. Anyway, cheers and all the best to you. Great video.
I’ve managed it in a 146, the Tomcat will be mega round there.
I had to stop the video after the intro to comment. That was exceptionally well done!!! Now on to the content lol 👏👏
Thank you
Very helpful, thank you for posting this 👍🏻😁
Nice. In addition to the regular loop you can change it up and choose a few different valleys to run and either increase/decrease the difficulty. All are spectacular, especially when you have some fog/mist hanging in the morning. Adds a bit of danger. But in a sim, danger is good. Real life, not so much
Looks incredible
Need this in DCS. Also ferry flight to Vegas. Nellis then up to Star Wars Canyon in a F15 bud
Star Wars Valley in Scotland will be coming soon too. Glen Tilt (LFA-14)
7:21 When it doesn't even remotely look like that because your stone age 1080 isn't able to run it.
9:35 For those not knowing: The way out is straight forward across that lake
Now I still have to get around imagining to fly with a hell either just left or right of me. Anyway, that lake is well deserved. Gotta admire that Scottish accent :)
Dammit mate, no need really to be that salty about a 1080... It's still a very powerful card that runs games that are actually well optimized perfectly. Imho, dcs looks lots and lots better than msfs, yet it also seems to run great on 1080-powered rigs. Msfs is a decently new game, so it has not had time to be optimized as well. Dcs has sometimes same kind of problem with the very newest content, (maps'n'such other stuff.) Yes, there are some more powerful cards out there, but I really do not see why say 1080 would be stone age or old.
@@rederos8079 DCS runs fine on mine, I just have to crank the resolution of that Reverb G2 way down. But MSFS is a completely different story. It's literally a Powerpoint, even at low settings. I basically could play everything I threw at the card even when it sat on a much more dated 3570k. Upping to a 5800x improved things noticably in DCS, but MSFS is almost the same nightmare as was before. Probably not the fault of that 1080, I've seen people with 3090 complain. But I've also seen tons of footage in the tube that must have been taken on rigs straight from the future.
My "pinch" of salt is more geared at the fact it's literally impossible to replace an older card, unless you're filthy rich or otherwise don't care if you have to spend thrice the amount of what a thing is worth actually.
PS: MSFS runs like crap on WMR, it's performing way better with my old CV1, even when I crank the G2 res down to CV1 levels (being 2880x1600 total res). MS seriously has to get their ship together internally. Can't be that a 3rd party API runs just fine while their own is a mere bunch of problems.
@@CakePrincessCelestia rrright, I guess we're on the same page then
@@rederos8079 Yeah. And actually I'm quite happy that I do have that 1080. Initially wanted to get a 2070 or 2080 when those came out, but they were too expensive and someone else sold me his brand new 1080 from a pre-built for 450 that would have been 600. He had a 1080ti already... and now, basically the joy of flying in VR is what makes me need more power, and especially VRAM.
@@CakePrincessCelestia alright yeah... I also got mine in almost new almost unused condition for like 280€, so I guess just under 300$... Just before all the stuff started happening with that chip shortage etc. Really happy with the graphics card, lots of power yet it also stays very cool(I manage to keep it under 60°C with its own coolers which is imo quite impressive, good job to evga with the ftw2 model.) What I really need rn for my rig is a good cpu and more ram for dcs, my current setup is barely hanging in here... And well, for the vr... I kinda wanted that at some point, in far future... But now things changed and it doesn't really bother me that much anymore.
Awesome!
This game has just no business looking that obscenely good ...
I've been so absorbed in DCS I forgot I owned FS2020! What are your other favorite modules?
Anything slow, I enjoy bush flying in fs
The Piper Arrow and Turbo Arrow also from Justflight are very very nice too.
Good effort on Dolgellau pronunciation, a commonly butchered name lol. Love the loop in msfs, will have to get this hawk i reckon!
It’s a lot of fun. I think home command would have had me shot if I hadn’t made a decent effort on the pronunciation. Valley girl.
@@TacticalPascale haha good stuff!
that intro though
Nice!
Haven't looked too much at MSFS. Is that all the default terrain/environment? It looks really good when you are in the mach loop. I can see why people want DCS to have a whole world as well.
Yes default terrain. DCS whole world……..😉
Have you done a review of the JustFlight Hawk? It looks like a well done module for MSFS from what I can tell. How is the flight model?
Its coming soon, I am putting it through its paces. So far, absolutely amazing fun. Flight model is great.
I've been looking for DCS flight model comparison review. Not sure how it compares even just for fun
6:00 cad west/east was there last Monday was an eventful day
What speed do you go around the loop?
As fast as is safe.
I believe the RAF typically go at 420 knots low level in a Hawk. 7 miles a minute is handy for navigation, it's a good speed for the Hawk to manoeuvre at, and if there is an engine failure, it gives you energy to get altitude, and options.
I have a bit of a problem with the Just Flight Hawk always wanting to pitch up in flight no matter how much I trim, how do I fix this?
Do you have the latest version from the just flight store? Check you have the switches set correctly on startup too.
@@TacticalPascale I'm on Series X and the Microsoft Reno jet trainers are a hoot in those valleys at 400kts IAS.
How do you find the flightmodel?
I like it, takes a little to get used to but that’s a lot to do with my “digital controls” in DCS. It “feels” good
What system specs and graphics card etc are you using?
Nvidia GeForce 3080, 32gb ram, amd Ryzen7 5800x
@@TacticalPascale and what pc specs - thanks heaps
And can you say your system specs. My VR graphics and system struggling 😼
What's MSFS like on the Xbox?
I don’t know, I play pc
Hi, what are you graphics settings in MSFS? The graphics are amazing!. Do you use IR headtracking or VR? Thank you.
I will look soon and let you know. This video was TrackIR but I fly VR often too
Thank you.

I’ll be starting a new one soon, stay tuned
Yes MSFS looks great when you fly low or look down. But DCS still has much better flight models and physics as well as beautiful clouds. And of course missiles, bombs, targeting pods and co-pilots. 😅
I love DCS, but, for chilling out and flying with no stress, FS all the way.
@@TacticalPascale I second that. I went from being a Physical Education Teacher to assuming a School Administrator role. Needless to say it’s a lot more intense. I’ve been finding random flights to do in VR just to relax. Flew from Seoul to Pyongyang and then just continued perfect north and almost fell asleep!
Should have a mini VFR map up, or at least at some points. I can't find this place 😅

Fly to Barmouth, turn up the river, turn right at cross foxes.
If you can find lake Bala it’s easy to find the loop. Start from the north end of the lake and fly straight down the middle of it. At the end alter your course by just a degree or two to the left and just keep going, you will come to the loop. Once you see it it’s easy enough to find again.
“Self-loading balast”. Lol.
Beautiful demonstration.
Have to say,
I was hoping you would point out the mountain where all the camera people are.
Just saying
I don’t know where it is tbh, maybe after the turn in from the lake when it breaks left then right.
@@TacticalPascale I bet I could figure it out, given some examination of the topography in your video vs footage from there
Also,
What is that trainer you're flying?
If you do please let me know
It’s the Hawk T
Who can we hear sneezing up a storm in the background? Hopefully just allergies!
Got it love those sound effects
It looks nice but it’s all a bit artificial feeling and jerky after playing DCS. Put these GFX into DCS or X-Plane and we have a winner! Hopefully ORBX Kola is the answer!
ORBX Kola is made by the same guys from RAZBAM who did the South Atlantic map.
@@TacticalPascale Good to know, South Atlantic map is pretty good, not very popular with online communities though.
An intro of 2-30!!! Really.
Yeah, some love it some don’t.
