It definitely would be easier to use a real plane at first, but once you pass the learning curve and memorize the keybinds and everything DCS is a perfect sim to practice in
@@GangsterFrankensteinComputer either the pointer or an axis/key you set in settings. The best way to start is to use an xbox controller or mouse and keyboard if you don't have one, and eventually to get a cheap throttle and stick. It's kind of crazy how much easier it gets with a throttle and stick. I used mouse and keyboard for two years until I saved up for a warthog hotas, and it felt like everything as actually there to help you use the plane and not fight you. If you're super into it but cant get a hotas(throttle and stick), try with mouse and keyboard and just take breaks when you get frustrated.

Great vid. put a smile on my face.... back to War Thunder!!!
Congrats Habie!!! You deserve it. You are the only content creator I know so far that consistently wishes his viewers a good day and that "something good happens" to them. I started watching your channel in the middle of the pandemic (during some of the worst months as far as illness). I'm an ER doc in FL who also had to deal with some developmental difficulties with my son (he's gotten over most of them, thank G), and my wife coming down with a rare neurologic disorder. So, yeah, it has been a rough 2-3 yrs. I've looked forward to your vids weekly and have found them all super entertaining. Heck, it's because of you that I started playing Onward and Saints & Sinners (like everyday for 1 yr). Now I still play Onward, not casually anymore, but on a League Team. It is my way of dealing with a lot of stress/PTSD/anxiety and insomnia. Your videos are more therapeutic than you think. Thanks for everything you do (for fun, I know) and connecting with so many strangers. You deserver all the credit your are receiving. If ever you are on an Onward pub lobby and you see me (KidKneePNCH), holler back. Don't be surprised if I get star struck and geek out a bit. (Disclaimer: Shamless plug www.twitch.tv/videos/1674963933 , I'm still learning)
For anyone curious about the speech Habie for being picked as the VR content creator of the year, it starts at around 2:59:40 of the stream Also congrats on being the VR creator of the year
Drewski taught you vtol vr, he could probably also teach you DCS! He got into DCS pretty heavily in the last year and has been putting out some really good content with it. Would be fun to watch him teach you, and you may finally be able to start the plane and takeoff by yourself :)
This was great. I don't think I've laughed so hard in months! Can you make more of these? If anything, you can rely on DCS to make things so realistic people get annoyed. 😄
Mate congratulations on the award, I voted for you as soon as I heard you were up for it. I hope you can get to the point where you can TH-cam full time and make bank from sponsorships to keep on cranking out great content. You’ve worked very hard Habie, really well done.
This as DCS player was the funniest video I've ever seen honestly is the funniest part for me was when you started the tutorial haha It's exactly how I felt in the beginning and I think you would have done a lot better if you had a flight stick or even an xbox controller that you could hook up to the game it would make flying SO MUCH easier
@@_Jake.From.Statefarm_ for the Mustang, you really only need the stick, throttle, rudders, and prop lever mapped (plus the trigger if you wanna shoot shit). That's basically all I have mapped in my setup, even though i have enough buttons to map everything.
To be fair, old aircraft like the P-51 are a bit iffy to start up and especially to take off. You need a lot of rudder input and feel for the aircraft to successfully take off. A jet tainer like the LZ-39, MB-339 or C-101 is a lot easier to start up and fly around in Add to that, DCS is nearly unplayable without at least a flight stick. So props to you for giving it a go!
Yeah it's crazy how different mouse and keyboard are from a hotas. I used m&k for 2 years in dcs and learned what I'd learn in about 1/4 of the time if I had a hotas. As soon as I got one, everything got easier
From my experience in DCS you don't need to use rudder all that much with P51, neutral trim of course, in IL2 the engine reactions are much stronger for sure but in high speed flight you barely need to use the rudder while in DCS it stays quite significant.
@@owensks No clue, that option doesn't even exist for me, I heard to some people have that problem aswell and you have to modify some files to get it back, classic DCS innit. But looking at rudder pedals when taking off they don't seem to move without my input so that's also something
Great video yet again. DCS is a game I have a love hate relationship with, but trying to fly a DCS plane in VR using motion controls is cursed. Please, try this again one day with a joystick and throttle (Hotas) borrow one or buy one. Then take the time to set the controls properly. Also, you CAN fly the F14 Tomcat as you can trial any of the modules for 2 weeks. If I were to recommended you a follow up video to this one, it would involve the following. * Use A joystick or Hotas * Get a trial for the F14 and the supercarrier. (Or alternatively get the proper Mustang with guns, + the Normandy Map) * Team up with a DCS pro to show you the ropes. * Optimise your graphics settings using OpenXR. (There are people who can help you with this myself included) * Profit
As an avid DCS player, it's so refreshing to see an honest video from someone new to the game (yes, it's a game). It's very VERY hard. My first helicopter I spent 26 real hours to learn how to take off, fly in a circle and land ... not even starting it up, the computer did that. Now, I can teach folks how to do it very quickly but it is such a rush when you finally get it right ... and then you're like ... wait .. what, what did I do? How did I do that? LOL Yes, VR is a game changer too, it's so beautiful just to fly the maps.
🔥 I love how much effort this game put into the graphics and explosions for crashes. It really lets you live the experience of burning in a fiery plane crash 🔥
It's hilarious you won best VR content creator of the year and you use that as a reason to beat yourself up for not being able to fly the plane. You 100% deserved the award, it's a compliment from everyone who has watched your content, we want nothing but the best for you ❤️
Habie, get yourself a HOTAS and a throttle. Doesn't have to be the most expensive of either, but you need it. 100% need it. You can also use head tracking instead of VR, which many people prefer, and will help performance a ton, otherwise I'd say its time to upgrade, because you do get performance issues in other games too ya know O:) But seriously, get a hotas and a throttle. Especially hotas. you have to. No option there, you can't really get the experience otherwise. Also, get someone to train you, there's a ton of creators nowadays who tend to do this for other creators, it WILL be worth it, you'll come out of it thanking yourself tenfold for the experience
I'm 2 minutes in, and I just want to say *DON'T GIVE UP!!!* I downloaded the real IRL WWII manual for the P51-D mustang, and learned stuff DCS doesn't tell you. DCS may be somewhat challenging, but it's one of the most rewarding experiences you can have virtually: headset, or not...
I'm just saying man, you're literally the most wholesome youtuber I have ever met. Your content always brings me joy when I watch it cause I genuinely find it funny and entertaining, I really am glad you're a youtuber and the world is blessed to have you. I hope you have an amazing Christmas! :D
You can grab the throttle in VR like you do with the joystick and I'd recommend binding the x-axis of the "stick" control (the hand that is holding the stick) for the Mustang, the engine makes the plane roll and yaw a little bit (mostly on takeoff).
Fun to watch. I'm an avid flight simmer and rl private pilot. DCS and Microsoft 2020 are my preferred rides. What this video shows, is how real DCS actually is. In some other "sims" we have 10 year old kids jumping into airplanes and immediately shooting down a dozen Planes. Ya can't do that in DCS!
You can kinda fly around with just the controllers, but it's not a great experience (IMO) and any warbird take off attempts without rudder pedals are almost doomed to start with. As was presented, lol.
It's not about being stupid or bad. It's about patience. You have to take the time to read and learn these things. I'm a firm believer that most people could do most things in this world. It's all about patience and willing to learn.
Congrats on the award!!!! As someone who greatly enjoys your content (especially as a aviation super nerd, this video watching you struggle was a GIFT), you deserve the award fully. Keep doin you and you'll shoot past a million next year no problem! Also if you do want to at least fly in DCS for more than a few seconds shoot me a message and I can give you a crash course if you want the help of some random internet stranger. Even if its just to be able to take off and land alive and nothing else, I gotchu. I've taught quite a few people in pretty much all of the DCS aircraft from the F16 to A10, its just something that I enjoy so much and probably wont get close to in real life. Just getting your license is like $10k-$15k normally. These sims allow me to escape a bit as you say, and forget the soul sucking that can be life. End rant, my bad I just thought it might give me an extra percent chance of you taking me on my offer if I show how much of a nut for this stuff I am. Kinda counterinuitive now that I really think about that.
I mean, is it though? Once you know how to avoid engine burnout after a few minutes of flight it's not bad at all. The startup procedure is relatively simple, though not the simplest out there even for warbirds, the take off is one of the easier ones for the warbirds and the landings - while more difficult than the jets, of course, aren't bad at all. Still easier for me than Bf-109. ;) The challenging part is the engine management if you really want to push it without blowing it. Other than that it's a real joy to just fly around. The thing is... I think he has no rudder pedals? You are going to have a VERY hard time with warbirds without the rudder pedals.
One does not simply just play DCS. It is a past time that requires patience, enthusiasm and dedication purely devoted to learning a single plane firstly. The flying comes after. Do not fret, as there are many friendly pilots in the "flying/piloting" community, both DCS and otherwise, that are always eager to help guide a new gamer at trying to find its feathers and become airborne to experience the freedom and joy that is flying, and ultimately in the end, the flight combat that DCS has to offer. Much love for trying it though, would love to see you get proficient at it.

I have been watching you forever! And I have been flying DCS for about year now. This is definitely my favorite video. I am so happy you finally tried DCS.
I know imma seem like a nerd but I wanted to explain what was happening on take off. As you could probably tell when you started to take off you began rolling to the left, this is the consequence of torque. Torque is created because your propeller is moving in a given direction (in this case left) this happens because the power of the engine is so strong is literally moves your plane, this is also because you have little lift and are mainly flying on your engine, as you could probably notice it was not happening in flight due to your high lift. To counter this you need to add a little bit a right aileron (right roll) and some right rudder (right yaw) to keep on the runway, then just add as much as needed while you ascend. Also don't be so hard on the elevator upon take off, it is a tail dragger so push the nose forward a little bit till it is level wit the horizon, and then add some up elevator (up pitch) to slowly and gracefully rise into the air. Hope this helps!!!

I recommend you guys playing DCS world it is very realistic flight sim it maybe take time like for months but if u fully know how to fly a plane with will have good time with it
Also, many (if not most) flight simmers have some pretty expensive controllers like a HOTAS and rudder pedals. We also tend to find virtual units to get help/instruction from someone who knows what they’re doing.
Don't worry habie, I've been playing for like 8 months and still only know how to start the simple planes (literally 4 buttons, power, left engine, right engine, canopy) starting with the engine on is far from cheating, it's a very realistic game and so obviously it's really hard, you should definitely get drew to teach you or smth that would be awesome And congrats on being the vr youtuber of all time Edit: also prop planes have a lot of roll so you don't suck I promise
I fly DCS and this is the funniest shiggidy I've seen in a while! Absolutely how DCS is, it is the most realistic combat sim on the market and the learning curve is STEEP. Don't feel bad my guy nobody can fly this simulator with no experience, and for those who really want to fly a F/A-18C Hornet like the ones in Top Gun this is the place to do it.
If you wanted to get back into DCS... something that would help hugely is using a controller and keyboard (or a hotas if you are interested in spending a bunch of money). Trying to operate the throttle/flaps/landing gear with the motion controller is just going to be overload since you can't do it by feel and you really need to be able to devote much of your attention to what's outside the plane or to watch your gauges as you change throttle to see what it's doing to your manifold pressure. While it is nice that they have workable buttons, dials, and switchea in the cockpits, setting up keyboard controls for all the things you'll only use sparingly is well worth the loss in immersion you get from operating the controls "manually" with the VR pointer. And having a button on a controller (or a throttle hotas) controlling throttle means you can keep your eyes on the runway, or on your gauges where you need them as you are landing (as well as controlling your flaps). What VR can't do that is kind of necessary for the most frequently used of the in-cockpit controls in this game (and in real life) is let you adjust controls by feel rather than having to look down at them.
Congrats in your award, DCS in VR is all I do, very steep learning curve but totally worth it, excellent training aid if you want to be a real pilot someday, or just to experience aviation history, aircraft design and characteristics Very cool video!
I've just realized I stumbled across this channel 2 hours ago and it has entertained me enough to watch 2 hours worth of videos. I fuckin love this guy :D
Welcome to my world. DCS is great :P honestly even just casually flying about is a joy, and the fact we can trial any aircraft (standalone only "OpenBeta") VTOL VR is a fabulous game aswell. but yeah have a look at chucks guides! :) and enjoy the experience, its a hard game, patience and practice is KEY!! good luck hope you do more. Id be down to teach you the F18
Lmao "I play VR so I should instinctively know how to operate complex aircraft hardware" hahahaha. I appreciate how dedicated you were to figuring it out just by looking at it, but this is why the internet exists.
real smoothbrain moment - every engine needs fuel, ignition, and rotation. First, turn on the battery/power, cause you'll need that. Turn on all the switches and knobs and levers that relate to fuel, mixture to rich, push the primer a few times, etc. That's step 1. Step 2 is to find the ignition key/switch and turn that one. It's usually called "magneto" in piston aircraft; if it gives you a choice between 1 and 2 pick 2. Step 3 is to find the button/key/switch that spins the engine up. If the engine is spinning, it's receiving fuel, and that fuel is being lit, the engine should light. That procedure is about 80-100% of every engine start procedure you'll find on a fully modelled aircraft. A lot of startup procedures have a bunch of other steps but they mostly approximate to "Turn all the systems on" which is much less difficult for most aircraft.
Congrats dude, absolutely well deserved! You are one of the few creators that I consistently watch each and every video for, thank you for making my day better.
I have over 14000 flight hours on VATSIM and can fly a 787 in my sleep. I've been at DCS for 2 months and I'm starting from scratch again...but it's fun and you learn more and more every day...important...never give up! ....Always 3 greens👍
I have been binge watching your "VR content" and I have to say this is the best spot on the internet corner 👌. Every time I thing if a vr game I look for your video on it :) 😀
Your start in the Trainee51 speeding off in the parking area and crashing to a ball of fire was my first experience as well! So I ran as quickly as I can to the nearest helicopter. Now I have found home! Helicopters are easy, they go up, and they go down, and I have now more sad frown! xD A year in I have now bought 2 jets and the cycle start all over again, crash, crash and more crash... but I'm getting better! Jets are faaaaast! Who knew!?
Knowing basics of how planes work will do wonders before attempting a realistic flight sim. Google Earths build in flight sim was where I started, highly unrealistic but also good enough to teach you the basics of landing a plane in PERFECT conditions. From there you can work your way up. Also you tried starting a plane with no fuel flow so.... yeah I guess you learned that engines need fuel
I remember when I bought my first DCS module, the A-10c Warthog. Pretty much the same happened the first week. Then I read up on some manuals and checklists and after literal 100s of hours of flying it, I can cold start and operate it from memory. Got me into the rabbit hole of study level aircraft in both DCS and X-plane/MSFS
I suspect this would be 100x easier with physical controls. The “point the green laser at the tiny toggle switch” control style was brutal to watch. At least the throttle and joystick + a couple of the essentials.
TH-cam blessed me by recommending your channel when you just started. I swear you haven't changed one bit, you are so authentic and refreshing. I love your spirit of fun. You seem like you are just enjoying life and inviting me to enjoy it with you. I wish you all the best

I'm an ER doc in FL who also had to deal with some developmental difficulties with my son (he's gotten over most of them, thank G), and my wife coming down with a rare neurologic disorder. So, yeah, it has been a rough 2-3 yrs.
I've looked forward to your vids weekly and have found them all super entertaining. Heck, it's because of you that I started playing Onward and Saints & Sinners (like everyday for 1 yr). Now I still play Onward, not casually anymore, but on a League Team. It is my way of dealing with a lot of stress/PTSD/anxiety and insomnia. Your videos are more therapeutic than you think. Thanks for everything you do (for fun, I know) and connecting with so many strangers. You deserver all the credit your are receiving.
If ever you are on an Onward pub lobby and you see me (KidKneePNCH), holler back. Don't be surprised if I get star struck and geek out a bit.
(Disclaimer: Shamless plug www.twitch.tv/videos/1674963933 , I'm still learning)
battery, fuel pumps, start, turn on alternators, flaps down, take off, landing gear up, flaps back up, then your basically there
For anyone curious about the speech Habie for being picked as the VR content creator of the year, it starts at around 2:59:40 of the stream
Also congrats on being the VR creator of the year
Wich headset did you use?
6:49 OH GOD THEY'RE GONNA HIT THE TOWERS
Drewski taught you vtol vr, he could probably also teach you DCS! He got into DCS pretty heavily in the last year and has been putting out some really good content with it.
Would be fun to watch him teach you, and you may finally be able to start the plane and takeoff by yourself :)
Just like ralfi thought drewski, he could teach habbie
this all seems very incestuous
@@mk014a0003 huh????
@@mk014a0003 The game is actually pretty easy. As long as you can follow step-by-step directions and remember what they are.
drewski also has about 2000 dollars in hotas equipment
This was great. I don't think I've laughed so hard in months! Can you make more of these? If anything, you can rely on DCS to make things so realistic people get annoyed. 😄
Habie is definitely the most self aware and down to earth smooth brain I've seen
Mate congratulations on the award, I voted for you as soon as I heard you were up for it. I hope you can get to the point where you can TH-cam full time and make bank from sponsorships to keep on cranking out great content. You’ve worked very hard Habie, really well done.
This as DCS player was the funniest video I've ever seen honestly is the funniest part for me was when you started the tutorial haha It's exactly how I felt in the beginning and I think you would have done a lot better if you had a flight stick or even an xbox controller that you could hook up to the game it would make flying SO MUCH easier
Yeah, when he first got the starter going and said will this do it, I said "not with the fuel cut off it won't." 🤣
He would still have to know what buttons to map and what they do haha.
@@_Jake.From.Statefarm_ for the Mustang, you really only need the stick, throttle, rudders, and prop lever mapped (plus the trigger if you wanna shoot shit). That's basically all I have mapped in my setup, even though i have enough buttons to map everything.
@@ShuRugal Yeah I got away with the x52 with twist
Rudders for even the modern jets. I've flown the mustang it's super fun. I just upgraded though.
Congrats man! You may not want or feel that you deserve the reward but we all believe that your content is indeed the best VR content on TH-cam.
this man is a testament to humanity
Gamersupps and vail you say 👀 this gonna be an interesting period for the channel, can’t wait to see more
To be fair, old aircraft like the P-51 are a bit iffy to start up and especially to take off.
You need a lot of rudder input and feel for the aircraft to successfully take off. A jet tainer like the LZ-39, MB-339 or C-101 is a lot easier to start up and fly around in
Add to that, DCS is nearly unplayable without at least a flight stick. So props to you for giving it a go!
Yeah it's crazy how different mouse and keyboard are from a hotas. I used m&k for 2 years in dcs and learned what I'd learn in about 1/4 of the time if I had a hotas. As soon as I got one, everything got easier
From my experience in DCS you don't need to use rudder all that much with P51, neutral trim of course, in IL2 the engine reactions are much stronger for sure but in high speed flight you barely need to use the rudder while in DCS it stays quite significant.
@@Tacticaviator7 do you have auto rudder on though?
@@owensks No clue, that option doesn't even exist for me, I heard to some people have that problem aswell and you have to modify some files to get it back, classic DCS innit.
But looking at rudder pedals when taking off they don't seem to move without my input so that's also something
Great video yet again. DCS is a game I have a love hate relationship with, but trying to fly a DCS plane in VR using motion controls is cursed.
Please, try this again one day with a joystick and throttle (Hotas) borrow one or buy one. Then take the time to set the controls properly.
Also, you CAN fly the F14 Tomcat as you can trial any of the modules for 2 weeks.
If I were to recommended you a follow up video to this one, it would involve the following.
* Use A joystick or Hotas
* Get a trial for the F14 and the supercarrier.
(Or alternatively get the proper Mustang with guns, + the Normandy Map)
* Team up with a DCS pro to show you the ropes.
* Optimise your graphics settings using OpenXR. (There are people who can help you with this myself included)
* Profit
Seriously congrats for winning VR content creator of the year!! You 100% earned it.
As an avid DCS player, it's so refreshing to see an honest video from someone new to the game (yes, it's a game). It's very VERY hard. My first helicopter I spent 26 real hours to learn how to take off, fly in a circle and land ... not even starting it up, the computer did that. Now, I can teach folks how to do it very quickly but it is such a rush when you finally get it right ... and then you're like ... wait .. what, what did I do? How did I do that? LOL
Yes, VR is a game changer too, it's so beautiful just to fly the maps.
🔥 I love how much effort this game put into the graphics and explosions for crashes. It really lets you live the experience of burning in a fiery plane crash 🔥
and the thing is that on the lowest graphics settings so the burning can be improved
Look at crashes in IL 2 1946. They're oddly satisfying.
DCS requires an actual HOTAS to operate efficiently, you can't really fly with your VR controllers
By how can you fly in VR with a HOTAS of you are holding the VR controllers?
@@sam3d you just disable the controllers and only use the headset with the HOTAS (also you cant shoot guns with only controllers in vr I think)
It's hilarious you won best VR content creator of the year and you use that as a reason to beat yourself up for not being able to fly the plane.
You 100% deserved the award, it's a compliment from everyone who has watched your content, we want nothing but the best for you ❤️
Habie, get yourself a HOTAS and a throttle. Doesn't have to be the most expensive of either, but you need it. 100% need it. You can also use head tracking instead of VR, which many people prefer, and will help performance a ton, otherwise I'd say its time to upgrade, because you do get performance issues in other games too ya know O:)
But seriously, get a hotas and a throttle. Especially hotas. you have to. No option there, you can't really get the experience otherwise.
Also, get someone to train you, there's a ton of creators nowadays who tend to do this for other creators, it WILL be worth it, you'll come out of it thanking yourself tenfold for the experience
Congrats on VR content creator of the year Habie! Very well deserved!
I'm 2 minutes in, and I just want to say *DON'T GIVE UP!!!* I downloaded the real IRL WWII manual for the P51-D mustang, and learned stuff DCS doesn't tell you. DCS may be somewhat challenging, but it's one of the most rewarding experiences you can have virtually: headset, or not...
Congrats on your gaming award! Well deserved habie, great channel 👍
I'm just saying man, you're literally the most wholesome youtuber I have ever met. Your content always brings me joy when I watch it cause I genuinely find it funny and entertaining, I really am glad you're a youtuber and the world is blessed to have you. I hope you have an amazing Christmas! :D
your first takeoff flipped because of p factor, you have to pour on the throttle slowly, especially in warbirds
I'm 99% sure his parking brake is on too
@@ChickentNug That sure as hell doesn't help neither
I love how Habie just decides that he’s supposed to brute force the controls and NOT due the tutorial or read anything.
Holy crap congratulations on the award Habie! It was well earned!
That's more like 'what if I had a major cerebellum injury and got to fly a plane' scenario
You can grab the throttle in VR like you do with the joystick and I'd recommend binding the x-axis of the "stick" control (the hand that is holding the stick) for the Mustang, the engine makes the plane roll and yaw a little bit (mostly on takeoff).
Propeller torque :)
Damn your channel has grown i remember when there wasnt so many ppl, congrats
You should also try out IL-2 Sturmovick. DCS and IL-2 are in a constant battle on which is more realistic. And both have VR.
no
@@aeolus4458 Yes.
@@DCGMatthew1 no you can't even interract with the cockpit
@@aeolus4458 So?
@@DCGMatthew1 that makes dcs way more realistic
Fun to watch. I'm an avid flight simmer and rl private pilot. DCS and Microsoft 2020 are my preferred rides. What this video shows, is how real DCS actually is. In some other "sims" we have 10 year old kids jumping into airplanes and immediately shooting down a dozen Planes. Ya can't do that in DCS!
There are more buttons in that plane than I have brain cells, so there’s at least three
Daddy Habie!
The best VR Content Creator of the year baby!!!
didn't know it had motion controls, love you Habie keep up the good work!!
You can kinda fly around with just the controllers, but it's not a great experience (IMO) and any warbird take off attempts without rudder pedals are almost doomed to start with. As was presented, lol.
It's not about being stupid or bad. It's about patience. You have to take the time to read and learn these things. I'm a firm believer that most people could do most things in this world. It's all about patience and willing to learn.
this game is crazy. excited to see how you handle it haha
congrats habie love ur vids
Congratulations on the award. Well deserved, great speech too.
Congrats on the award!!!! As someone who greatly enjoys your content (especially as a aviation super nerd, this video watching you struggle was a GIFT), you deserve the award fully. Keep doin you and you'll shoot past a million next year no problem! Also if you do want to at least fly in DCS for more than a few seconds shoot me a message and I can give you a crash course if you want the help of some random internet stranger. Even if its just to be able to take off and land alive and nothing else, I gotchu. I've taught quite a few people in pretty much all of the DCS aircraft from the F16 to A10, its just something that I enjoy so much and probably wont get close to in real life. Just getting your license is like $10k-$15k normally. These sims allow me to escape a bit as you say, and forget the soul sucking that can be life. End rant, my bad I just thought it might give me an extra percent chance of you taking me on my offer if I show how much of a nut for this stuff I am. Kinda counterinuitive now that I really think about that.
pro tip: maybe you shouldnt start with one of the hardest full fidelity planes in the game
I mean, is it though? Once you know how to avoid engine burnout after a few minutes of flight it's not bad at all.
The startup procedure is relatively simple, though not the simplest out there even for warbirds, the take off is one of the easier ones for the warbirds and the landings - while more difficult than the jets, of course, aren't bad at all. Still easier for me than Bf-109. ;)
The challenging part is the engine management if you really want to push it without blowing it. Other than that it's a real joy to just fly around.
The thing is... I think he has no rudder pedals? You are going to have a VERY hard time with warbirds without the rudder pedals.
@@tomaszwota1465 Especially in a warbird, and that's without the wind.
When you get the gamer energy drink sponsor make sure it's gamersupps. Shit's comical.
I knew it. I'm the greatest fortune teller of our time. I did it.
Good job winning the award! you deserve it.
One does not simply just play DCS. It is a past time that requires patience, enthusiasm and dedication purely devoted to learning a single plane firstly. The flying comes after. Do not fret, as there are many friendly pilots in the "flying/piloting" community, both DCS and otherwise, that are always eager to help guide a new gamer at trying to find its feathers and become airborne to experience the freedom and joy that is flying, and ultimately in the end, the flight combat that DCS has to offer. Much love for trying it though, would love to see you get proficient at it.
One thing I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Tryin' to hold on, did-didn't even know
I wasted it all just to watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried
It all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually
Be a memory of a time when I tried so hard
I am so happy that you played DCS. It is my main game and it was a lot of fun watching you try it.
As a dcs player this was amazing lol
BRO DUDE EVERYTIME I REVISIT YOU DESTROY YOUR PAST SELF!!! well deserved man! you are the best VR creator!!

Flying in 20FPS
that’s just what dcs vr’s like
I have been watching you forever! And I have been flying DCS for about year now. This is definitely my favorite video. I am so happy you finally tried DCS.
Am i the only one that thinks its weird that the plane game video is 9:11 long
I know imma seem like a nerd but I wanted to explain what was happening on take off.
As you could probably tell when you started to take off you began rolling to the left, this is the consequence of torque. Torque is created because your propeller is moving in a given direction (in this case left) this happens because the power of the engine is so strong is literally moves your plane, this is also because you have little lift and are mainly flying on your engine, as you could probably notice it was not happening in flight due to your high lift. To counter this you need to add a little bit a right aileron (right roll) and some right rudder (right yaw) to keep on the runway, then just add as much as needed while you ascend. Also don't be so hard on the elevator upon take off, it is a tail dragger so push the nose forward a little bit till it is level wit the horizon, and then add some up elevator (up pitch) to slowly and gracefully rise into the air.
Hope this helps!!!

One thing, I don't know why

To remind myself of a time when I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mockin' me
Actin' like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so far
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me in the end
You kept everything inside
And even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually

I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
Ive put my Trust in you Pushed as far as i can go. For all this theres only one thing you should know ohoh
I recommend you guys playing DCS world it is very realistic flight sim it maybe take time like for months but if u fully know how to fly a plane with will have good time with it
Also, many (if not most) flight simmers have some pretty expensive controllers like a HOTAS and rudder pedals. We also tend to find virtual units to get help/instruction from someone who knows what they’re doing.
Don't worry habie, I've been playing for like 8 months and still only know how to start the simple planes (literally 4 buttons, power, left engine, right engine, canopy) starting with the engine on is far from cheating, it's a very realistic game and so obviously it's really hard, you should definitely get drew to teach you or smth that would be awesome
And congrats on being the vr youtuber of all time
Edit: also prop planes have a lot of roll so you don't suck I promise
I fly DCS and this is the funniest shiggidy I've seen in a while! Absolutely how DCS is, it is the most realistic combat sim on the market and the learning curve is STEEP. Don't feel bad my guy nobody can fly this simulator with no experience, and for those who really want to fly a F/A-18C Hornet like the ones in Top Gun this is the place to do it.
☝️☝️Thanks for watching and commenting,Hit me up ☝️ I got special package for you 🎉🎁..
If you wanted to get back into DCS... something that would help hugely is using a controller and keyboard (or a hotas if you are interested in spending a bunch of money). Trying to operate the throttle/flaps/landing gear with the motion controller is just going to be overload since you can't do it by feel and you really need to be able to devote much of your attention to what's outside the plane or to watch your gauges as you change throttle to see what it's doing to your manifold pressure.
While it is nice that they have workable buttons, dials, and switchea in the cockpits, setting up keyboard controls for all the things you'll only use sparingly is well worth the loss in immersion you get from operating the controls "manually" with the VR pointer. And having a button on a controller (or a throttle hotas) controlling throttle means you can keep your eyes on the runway, or on your gauges where you need them as you are landing (as well as controlling your flaps). What VR can't do that is kind of necessary for the most frequently used of the in-cockpit controls in this game (and in real life) is let you adjust controls by feel rather than having to look down at them.
Congrats in your award, DCS in VR is all I do, very steep learning curve but totally worth it, excellent training aid if you want to be a real pilot someday, or just to experience aviation history, aircraft design and characteristics Very cool video!

Welcome to my world. DCS is great :P honestly even just casually flying about is a joy, and the fact we can trial any aircraft (standalone only "OpenBeta") VTOL VR is a fabulous game aswell. but yeah have a look at chucks guides! :) and enjoy the experience, its a hard game, patience and practice is KEY!! good luck hope you do more. Id be down to teach you the F18
Lmao "I play VR so I should instinctively know how to operate complex aircraft hardware" hahahaha. I appreciate how dedicated you were to figuring it out just by looking at it, but this is why the internet exists.
This video has the perfect length considering the topic.
To make the interior look good go to setting and turn textures to high, makes the start up so much easier.
real smoothbrain moment - every engine needs fuel, ignition, and rotation. First, turn on the battery/power, cause you'll need that. Turn on all the switches and knobs and levers that relate to fuel, mixture to rich, push the primer a few times, etc. That's step 1. Step 2 is to find the ignition key/switch and turn that one. It's usually called "magneto" in piston aircraft; if it gives you a choice between 1 and 2 pick 2. Step 3 is to find the button/key/switch that spins the engine up. If the engine is spinning, it's receiving fuel, and that fuel is being lit, the engine should light.
That procedure is about 80-100% of every engine start procedure you'll find on a fully modelled aircraft. A lot of startup procedures have a bunch of other steps but they mostly approximate to "Turn all the systems on" which is much less difficult for most aircraft.
Congrats dude, absolutely well deserved! You are one of the few creators that I consistently watch each and every video for, thank you for making my day better.
I have over 14000 flight hours on VATSIM and can fly a 787 in my sleep. I've been at DCS for 2 months and I'm starting from scratch again...but it's fun and you learn more and more every day...important...never give up! ....Always 3 greens👍
I have been binge watching your "VR content" and I have to say this is the best spot on the internet corner 👌. Every time I thing if a vr game I look for your video on it :) 😀
Your start in the Trainee51 speeding off in the parking area and crashing to a ball of fire was my first experience as well! So I ran as quickly as I can to the nearest helicopter. Now I have found home! Helicopters are easy, they go up, and they go down, and I have now more sad frown! xD
A year in I have now bought 2 jets and the cycle start all over again, crash, crash and more crash... but I'm getting better! Jets are faaaaast! Who knew!?

You're legit, Habie. Big things in your future. Keep going! ❤️
Knowing basics of how planes work will do wonders before attempting a realistic flight sim. Google Earths build in flight sim was where I started, highly unrealistic but also good enough to teach you the basics of landing a plane in PERFECT conditions. From there you can work your way up. Also you tried starting a plane with no fuel flow so.... yeah I guess you learned that engines need fuel
5:22 Okay. Mr. Bombastic here is *100%* going to be doing another line of the song every week. Right? Like, has to be that.
I remember when I bought my first DCS module, the A-10c Warthog. Pretty much the same happened the first week. Then I read up on some manuals and checklists and after literal 100s of hours of flying it, I can cold start and operate it from memory. Got me into the rabbit hole of study level aircraft in both DCS and X-plane/MSFS
Yes! i loved watching the video you made with drewski teaching you Vtol Vr. Enjoy the pain and pleasure sim that is DCS

"One thing, I don't know why" is a lyric from the Linkin Park song In The End.
I suspect this would be 100x easier with physical controls. The “point the green laser at the tiny toggle switch” control style was brutal to watch.
At least the throttle and joystick + a couple of the essentials.
TH-cam blessed me by recommending your channel when you just started. I swear you haven't changed one bit, you are so authentic and refreshing. I love your spirit of fun. You seem like you are just enjoying life and inviting me to enjoy it with you. I wish you all the best
