I don’t play dcs (yet), but i love the kola map. I live close to Bodoe, and recognise all the moutains and lakes. I grew up here during the last decade of the cold war and NATO fighter jets was a daily experience. Low level F-4s, harries, f-16s, jaguars, tornados, f-5s, a-10s, etc. they was so low and close you could see the pilots head moving.
@@probook Then you're going to love actually playing the sim, flying right over your childhood home, buzzing the rooftops. :) (Same here, Germany, with Tornados overhead)
@@PrimetimeCasual my home willage lies in the «Y» shaped fjord just north east of bodoe. Right at the headland on the northside right before the main fjord splitts into a south and a north east arm.
Right at my favourite part of the map. :) The map also just got a performance update, I'm pretty excited to try that out. And the F-4.... too many toys, too little time. :D
@@PrimetimeCasual yes I like the F4. The area was one of the main areas for stopping the russian during cold war. the main road to the north goes thru this area. In that county thera are 19 tunnels and 3 bridges. the fighter jets simulated attack som these "bottle necks"
Cool. I use to fish in the smal lake (Guoledish, sami name of the lake) right behind the ground targets. This is on the swedish side. Just 1-2 km from Norway border.
A lot depends on just how broken the DCS replay system is. Therefore - I record the screen monitor from the game using Streamlabs OBS, then applying a lens correction (GoPro 9 Narrow) in Powerdirector to get rid of the telltale VR "rounded edges of nothing". I also render the video in a higher resolution, which means less compression artifacts on TH-cam. Most of the time I also do my voice-over in Powerdirector, since the microphone on the VR headset is.... bad. :D Setup wise, it's a Oculus Rift, running on a 3060 Ti. Good enough for medium-high'ish details at a consistent FPS. Ideally, I'd record from a track playback, since that means higher quality (DCS records head movement in the trackfile). However, DCS tracks desync as soon as any kind of aerial combat is going on and are frankly unuseable at the moment (hence my lack of recent videos).
@@PrimetimeCasual thanks for the heads up. Been trying a number of different things in VR, with moderate success, but still haven’t got it quite right yet
@@simtaylor61 Best of luck! One thing to remember is that the monitor (usually) runs on your right eye, so the point of view is slightly shifted as well. Let me know how you get on!

Thoroughly enjoying the new map - what is your experience with it so far?

Awesome! I love it when I recognize places I have been to in flight sims. 😉
Would be interested to know what your VR gear is and what techniques and software you use to capture your videos
