Vtol is on another level, ive spent a fortune on DCS and love it, but VTOL is just so damn good
VTOL is so accessible yet gives you that same sim feeling of clicky buttons and system manipulation you get from sims like DCS. Perfect middle ground.
All modules in DCS total about $2k… hardly a fortune.
plus a pc that can run it in vr well or 2d at high frames, 3-4k + monitors 1K plus Virpil steup and MFG pedals easy another 2k@@kzrlgo
@@kzrlgoplus 3-15k for peripherals
Vtol is good but full of 12 year olds
Yesterday i've spent almost half day playing Nuclear Option, the Escalation mission is really fun
Also add Falcon BMS to the list!
Awesome video as always dude
Man Falcon BMS is so good! The aim with this list was to be more full, standalone games, but yeah BMS is badass
I would like to also absolutely recommend Freespace 1&2 through the Knossos Modding community. Absolute massive Mod Campaigns that include incredible voice acting, and insane graphic upgrades from the original releases. A new VR compatability mod just hit the community and many campaigns are adding support.
Oh man, VR would be insane. Time to download it again.
@stwcrusher what are some campaigns I should try?
I don’t think I’ve played Fresspace since like 2004 lol. Gotta boot it back up!
VTOL VR is great, I swear I'm addicted to livery making, cause I've made a grand total of like 21 liveries for the Mischief since it launched, and even released my own template for it. Feels good seeing others using it or parts of it, and the odd time someone in a public lobby is using one of my liveries. Saw someone using my cursed USCG livery and it put a grin on my face. Great video as always Viper
Oh man, did I use one of yours in the video?! What liveries have you made? I gotta check them out!
I'm with Viper1Zero on this one! Gotta see them skins! 🤘🏻👀
@@Viper1Zero Nah I think the Mobius one was made by Chasaroonie, but I've done all four Cipher variants from ACZ, Garuda, Warwolf, Reaper (plus a generic UNF skin), Trigger, Kingdom of Erusea, Estovakia, the Federation, K-9, CIF, Monarch but Jolly Rogers-like, US Coast Guard, US Air Force, the P-51 Crazy Horse livery, and a livery for the VTOL VR part of an Arma unit I sometimes participate in known as ACES
VTOL VR
DCS WORLD
FALCON BMS
are my top 3 !! Nuclear Option was great played EA and beta had a blast
How about Falcon BMS? Best free sim
Video is literally titled “to buy”
Yes BMS rocks (I’ve played many hours) but it’s a mod.
great video, I wasn't aware of Nuclear Option's super cool looking damage models!
One thing I have gotta point out, is that VTOL VR is all made by a single developer, Baha. They also made the BDArmory weapons mod for Kerbal Space Program, which considering the amount of hours I poured into that mod is super cool to me.
Nuclear option is so freaking fun dude
It’s honestly awesome, I was pretty surprised!
@@Viper1Zero from what I've seen the dev has been working on it seems to be super cool stuff in the works
@@homelessmotherofnine9577 I’m really looking forward to the new adds! The editor is good too!
@@homelessmotherofnine9577 nuclear option is not even playable, the game just crashed when about to take off, the aircraft is barely controllable. The whole game is full of bugs.
Only DCS is proper but it seriously doesn't come with tutorial that teaches you how to operate the aircraft, some merely some don't at all giving much frustration especially when TH-cam tutorials and manual guide incomplete or left out some parts.
Spent a ton of money on DCS and it just keeps getting better but it's nice to see they have some competition.
Thank you, I think Tiny Combat Arena is exactly the game I've been looking for
Hope you enjoy! It’s pretty awesome, and the modding scene is really active! It’s on the discord for TCA Modding Community.
8:30 Man total nostalgia, you used the ace combat 3 music from missions briefing mission! You have my respect!!!
My FAVORITE Ace Combat song. It will forever remind of summer 2005 playing this game. So nostalgic!
Happy new year dude. Thanks for all.
This is exactly what I expected ❤❤❤
You might want to check Gunship IV: Modern Air Combat Flight Simulator, although its being designed for the mobile market which is pretty shit, they have a promising project and a build.
Thanks for the suggestion! Ill give it a look
@@Viper1Zeroit’s still only in closed early alpha access. I know a build of it got released for Christmas for the public to play, although I’m not sure how one would access it
@@chaoswolfgaming5591 the open beta build is on play store
I am really glad to see this mentioned. We are planning a Mac version and may even bring it to Windows once the game has matured.
@@chaoswolfgaming5591 You have to pay at the products page of the game's website to get future early access updates. You can also preorder aircraft modules for the production release.
Cool! Might have to get one of these, dont forget to add IL-2 Sturmovik to your list the WW2 Flight simulator!
Video is called "best sims in 2024" not a "best old-school sims with prehistoric graphics and dated engine"
i brought it. 1946. and it doesnt fuckin work on my PC. just my luck xD
@@Cesko_Plny_Fialovejch_Zmrdu Read the title again "6 of the best flight sims to buy in 2024"
@@prepareuranus8097open config in your game folder and change the resolution to what you have
@Vamuzuplnejebecesi clearly you aren't aware of IL2 Great Battles
Nice video bro! Very nicely made. I like that you mentioned trackIR, we use it for MSFS2020.
Thanks brother! TrackIR is an absolute MUST have for flight sims! Can’t fly without it!
Thankyou for covering some games that are no well known.
I found two new games today.
I have a 1:1 F16 simulator cockpit and it runs on BenchMark Sims, the best in the field
BMS must be mentioned among DCS and MSFS for any milsim fan. Both if he/she missed it and as a thing to watch for in 2024 (BMS 4.38 with new terrain model).
th-cam.com/video/658ax0y8KHs/w-d-xo.html
I do love BMS, it the goal of this one was to shine light on some maybe lesser knowns. Everyone knows BMS.
i did get to play nuclear options early acces, it was cool with its nuclear weapons
Man all these look so good. I wish so badly that I had a HOTAS setup. Flying in Arma 3 on M&K is fine but it just doesn't get me as immersed as I wish it would. I feel like a HOTAS is all but required for dedicated flight sim games
Project Wingman gotta be my fav Ace Combat'ish games. :>
Using railgun on a big boy flying ship thing while listening to most cheesy dialog know to humanity is the experience I would gladly pay twice for. C:
(Just wished game was less orange though. Kinda burned my eyes on first playthrough. xD)
PW is so beast. I honestly played it more than AC7 haha!
Falcon BMS is an good alternative for DCS World with minus than 30gb and many variations of f16, if you dont like the graphics of it now you will like in the next update with the graphic engine change
Thank you for this video! I would never know about Tiny Combat Area without it! Now do you have any plans to review Air type scenarios from Steam workshop in Arma 3?
I’ll add it to the upcoming list of videos!
@@Viper1Zero Yippee
You should make a video on TCA, it's really cool and unique, it definetely needs more recognition, it even has mod support!
Nuclear Option is amazing, and the next update soon is gonna introduce an Electronic Warfare aircraft
Does nuclear option have VR support?
B17 Flying Fortress: The Bloody 100th and the Falcon 4.0 remake, both by Microprose, are the two main sims I am waiting for (as dont play study sims), but a couple of very interesting flight combat sims on here that I will look into cheers.
just started. have a pretty good idea of what will be suggested here. very glad i got onto nuclear option. if only Vtol VR wasn't just VR. can't afford one of those. project wingman is next on the buy list, ace combat is where i got started.
I just started too! I'm gonna guess he talks about Tiny Combat Arena, Nuclear Option, House of the Dying Sun, Helicopter Gunship D.E.X, Project Wingman, and VTOl VR. Let's see how I did.
Question for the masses out there, can I use a physical joystick rudder and throttle in vtol vr?
If you want a VR experience that's immersive and has an amazing sense of presence, try Elite Dangerous in VR.
What about X-Plane?
I’ve been playing vtol since 2018 and it’s been my primary flight game despite having great sticks for dcs. Might break them out tho for house of the dying sun that looks like a fun space combat game.
Hell yeah man! Dying Sun is a little older too but man it’s fun!
The lack of track IR is the reason I haven't bought project wingman yet😢
Download FreePIE!!! It gets your TrackIR working and was easy to setup! Took maybe 3 minutes and I was using it in game :)
Flight of Nova is a fun ‘space trucker’ flight sim. I wish the lone developer could add VR support.
YEAAA BABY! This is what I've been waiting for! This is what its all about! WooOooOO-
VTOL VR is incredible. Worth getting VR even if this is the only game you play in it.
💯
Falcon 4.0 bms mod il-2 sturmovik 1946 bat mod and rise of flights are the best.
I wish tom Clancy hawx was still a thing. And an over g fighters reboot
I NEED AN OVER G FIGHTER REBOOT.
Another banger 🔥🤘🏻😤🤘🏻🔥
Thank you, my friend! Appreciate your longtime support!
@@Viper1Zero you're welcome! Tier One content is your gift to us!
🔥🤘🏻💀🤘🏻🔥
@@ViperBATDTF Buckle up for a whole year of it!
I''m glad that the only surprise was the helicopter game. I'm currently looking at its steam page. And bought thanks for the recommendation.
Glad to help! It’s really fun, and actually challenging!
I find its rare or impossible to find Flight Sims devoted to 1 Type of plane..
Like the old days..Microprose F-14 Tomacat, F-15 Eagle, F-16 Falcon 3.0 etc..
These days flight sims are Ace Combat or DCS with lots of planes and not focused on 1 type..
No more F-22 Raptor, F-35 Lightning.. or F/A-18E/F Super Hornet.. dedicated flight sim..
I’ve played vtol for years now and I’m still learning all the time. It’s a bargain and plays nice.
Same! So much room for growth and amazing potential.
@@Viper1Zero feels like week 2 since buying the mischief. I’m always jamming. Hope you like jamming too 🎵
Now do WWII only sims. All these feel like console games. Aces High III is my daily driver.
how was arma 3 a flight sim
Didn't even realize there was 6? 😁 Back in the 90's it seemed like that's all that released on PC was sims. What's out there though now is top-notch. DCS needs to get their dynamic campaign out this year though. How could you not mention IL2 Great Battles?! I would not call half of these in this list to be 'sims'. More like 'arcade'.
I'd never heard of Helicopter Gunship D.E.X. though. I just bought a Quest 2 to try out VR (was cheap...$195USD new), and yes, VTOL VR is pretty unbelievable, and also very cheap for what you get, especially at 30% off.
I literally said simulators and simu-lites (arcade) lol
@@Viper1Zero Then where is IL2? The only 'simulator' in this list is DCS?
@@karlhungus545 Read the store pages
@@Viper1Zero??
@@karlhungus545 The store pages for these games label them as either simulators or “simu-lites”
I would recommend fly out but I don’t think it has track ir yet
I was SO close to including FlyOut but there’s no UNDO BUTTON ON THE DESIGNER?! Like what?!
@@Viper1Zero absolute disgrace not including undo
@@Jurassicgames9779 As SOON as it has one that will be a huge change. The game itself is awesome. I also just got Juno: New Origins. Great reviews.
yooo where is falcon bms it has the best f16 sim on the market
Video is literally titled “to buy”
Yes BMS rocks (I’ve played many hours) but it’s a mod.
@@Viper1Zero bad excuse bud
@@janithawikramasinghe6777 Moronic comment, my dude.
You forgot Falcon BMS😅
Video is literally titled “to buy”
Yes BMS rocks (I’ve played many hours) but it’s a mod.
@@Viper1Zero My mistake.
@@hansthegrenadier6411 All good!
All of these are like a Lego version of dcs
Wingman is not simulator, its arcady game and i played it. IL2,DCS are missing while being biggest ones and are simulators.
DCS always 😉👌🔥
Wheres Falcon bms?
Read the title. It’s a mod, not a game to buy.
sure pal@@Viper1Zero
Damn.
Is that a good damn?! Lol
@@Viper1Zero it's not a good damn, it's an awesome damn.
👍👍👍👍👍
Hope you enjoyed!
BMS falcon. Have VR too. And I play DCS and Falcon is way better sim.
Good job.. you've managed to show one single simulator in this video... Other ones are just arcade games...
Dumbass comment.
Lol title says flight sims...... and great reply to a viewer, aggression right out the box XD
Where is the DCS and MSFS and ED..??😅this 6 "flight sim" is not simulator - flight sim😅
You clearly didn’t watch the video. 0/10
