Apparently it takes TH-cam an average of 72 hours to process a 4K 60 FPS (2160p60) video. I did not know this so apologies if 1440 and 4K is not yet available, it should be soon!
Hey Squirrel, could you do a tutorial on how to play this sim? I've been using FSX for a long time and kinda ditched the area about 2 years ago. So couple of videos on the basic stuff (Kinda like what you did for ATS) would be awesome! Thanks and keep rockin!
No problem. DCS is such a great game, I bought the Su-27 and the F-15C recently, having so much fun! Would you please do a video (or a stream) on the MiG-21bis someday please? After all, it's the most build supersonic aircraft, and still serves in airforces all over the globe after 60 years. Bonbon1948 I got into DCS lately, so ask away ;)
Yo Barna, yep i use DCS with the vive and i have to say not even 10K would be better then this ...but there is a catch....yep its 3D but even a MONSTER pc cant handle even medium resolution . I have to put everything to minimum and thats with a GTX1080 ! but boy its AMAZING. ps luv your channel dude !
Hmmm, just a thought Squirrel. This would involve you diving into DCS Multiplayer (quite a rewarding challenge in itself). There's a server going by the name of Open Conflict. It's a Player vs Player, Player vs AI dynamic campaign server. Whenever a player gets shot down within the conflict area, it is scripted that the downed pilot sends a distress signal, then a mission becomes available for any transport helicopter pilots on the server who might have the Huey or MI8 can head out to pickup the downed pilot marking his location by blue smoke. While players on your side will do what they can to keep you from getting shot down. Just thought you might be tempted by the thought of it all.
I can't believe they took such care in modeling the strip but completely left out downtown Vegas which is not far north of the Stratosphere tower. Also, another thing you notice right off the bat while flying over Vegas is the amount of people with personal swimming pools in their backyards. The color of them all just smack you in the face...it's impossible to miss. Oh and way more golf courses all over town. I know, I know I'm being too picky but I lived there for so long it's just a couple things that kinda stuck out to me. Otherwise, it really does look pretty awesome. Edit: Spelling
The toilet bowl exhaust is characteristic of the VNAF Huey, it helps protect the a/c from SA7 heat seeking missiles by cooling down the exhaust with the rotor wash.
That "barbeque lighter" sound is pretty much the sound of the igniters. They only run til the engine starts and like any turbine they are turned off after it starts since the fire burns continuously in a turbine engine. This is the first sim where I have heard it. I use to stand back by the engine with a fire extinguisher while I peered into the engine cowling while my Hueys started. Part of the job of a crew chief. This is a great simulator game, incredible detail. Well done on the video.
Thanks for that video, awesome, as a former Air Force crew chief on F-15's, I really enjoyed seeing the planes on final, now I'm looking on Amazon and the monitors are in stock.....
On your way back to Nellis AFB you flew over a gunshop named Battlefield Vegas just across the street from Circus Circus, among a bunch of military vehicles there’s a Huey on display at the entrance, thought you might be interested to see it next time you tour Vegas
Never thought I'd see a NASCAR track in any game like this built to scle. And the real reason there's no people is because it's Friday and they're practicing.
Do you think we can get an updated your if your setup/office space? I know you did one a while back but it would be cool to see the update with the wallmount monitor
Very nice 4K video. I also have a 4K PC and monitor. I am currently running the disc version 1.2 of DCS Huey. I would like to do the latest version 2.0 on a fresh install from the dcs world website. I want the Vegas edition, so can you please tell me the correct order to download this so that i don't get errors during the install. Thanks!
Nice video, but when you said (around 15:00) that Freesync kicks in between 40-60 fps its not acctualy what is happening cos you have Nvidia card. It would be true for AMD card. I have MG278Q /1440p /144hz (FreeSync) and gtx 1080 combination running DCS
Now that you mentioned it, I particularly like the compass attached to the side there in this helicopter. Nice flying skills by the way. As for Vegas I'm not too impressed looking at it closely but seeing the whole picture it does feel like in real life. It's pretty impressive that this map is in 1:1 scale, I'd like more games in 1:1 scale but it's probably not a good idea anyways XD the thing is certain details here are missing especially the roads and some of them are connected a little bit weird but it was an interesting fly around. 28:43 "I'd probably have ATC screaming at me right now" XD
From the tests I have seen of the Nvidia GTX1080 it really struggles with 4k giving like 30-50fps in most games. Most people would like to be able to lock it at 60fps or higher meaning you would have to get two 1080s which are kind of expensive. I think DCS don't really stress the gfx card as much as many other games seeing as it gives 40+fps at 4k with a 980Ti.
+hanse81 every game or sim is different in how much it stresses the card. There is always a bottleneck in your system and it may or may not be the gfx card. Just buying two 1080 cards does not mean rock solid 60fps 4K gaming - that's what a lot of people fail to understand. DCS does a decent job though - trying flying 4K in P3D over some FlyTampa scenery
so I downloaded the Arizona dlc for ATS before I put the game in the 1.3 open beta. so when I go to the map Arizona is grey but there is no roads in Arizona and I can't go there what do I do also keep up the good work
Squirrel Thanks for your reply. And collective also on the warthog? Is there even something available for collective controll that's more like the real thing? Would be awesome for the realism.
You use the throttle to control collective since the actual Huey throttle remains at 100% at all times (hold PgUp/PgDn in DCS to control throttle). I looked at buying a device for controlling throttle and collective but they are fiercely expensive.
Thanks. I have just downloaded DCS and I know DCS is a combat sim. But I do hope they add a few more Sceneries/Military seneries like this one. I also hope they get around to doing something in the U.K and Europe..Mike from Scotland
Everything is spot on with Las Vegas map they forgot the roller coasters one on the stratosphere one in New York and another one by the stratosphere I know this because I used to live in Vegas
I disagree with the blurring at 1440p. I prefer to play at 1440p on my 4ktv than going all the way back to 1080p. It looks absolutely fine and much better than 1080p. I also often play at 1440p on my Asus 4K monitor too. But mines lcd. Could it be your monitor?
It's simple mathematics though. Look at the resolutions: 1920×1080 (FHD, Full HD, 2K 1080p) 2560×1440 (QHD, WQHD, Quad HD, 1440p) 3840×2160 (UHD, Ultra HD, 4K, 2160p) The middle one does not integer-divide into the other two in either the X or Y scale. The top and bottom do. That's why you get blurring with a 1440p game on a non-1440p screen.
Squirrel I get the point. 1 pixel equals 4. Therefore the 1080p is 1to1. But in my experience, 1440p still looks better than 1080p whether it be on my 4K 28" lcd Asus Monitor or my 4K 42" LG TV. There's still more detail and you are essential just upsampling, the exact same way the Xbox one has done from 900p to 1080p. If that wasn't the case, down sampling would look awful too. Down sampling from 1440p on a 1080p monitor would look bad, but it doesn't. In fact it's a heavily suggested setting if you have enough horse power as it works better than AA. As I said, I don't dispute your maths. I'm saying I still believe that 1440p looks better than 1080p on a 4K panel and haven't noticed any of this 'blurring' you mention.
I have dual-monitors 4k at 55' witch are 2 smart tv at 4k with IPS. I play DCS world on them 4k and yea sound big an 55' monitor but after like 2 month's seems just ok. Not to big not to small but you feel like SOMETHING BIGGER IS GONNA BE BETTER. =]]
Squirrel can you imagine ETS/ATS but with helicopters build you own freelance helicopter company with customizable helicopters that could be set up to take contracts from Swat, mountain rescue coast guard, Private military contracts and it`s up to you to decide what direction your company goes in
yeah but they never really aimed for the whole build your own company thing it was just a story more than that, i`d love to see some do take on heli 2 set up like ETS/ATS not story based
The altimeter was zeroed at the start of the flight, so it wasn't showing true altitude above sea. Pretty common to reset your barometric altimeter to 0 on the runway where you start. That's why tower will tell you the barometric settings to use as well, so that while you approach, you can make sure the altimeter reads 0 on the runway.... Since, well, frankly, who cares how high above sea level you are as a pilot. You care about how high above the ground you are :)
For some very weird reason TH-cam only gives me a 1080p60 as the highest resolution on this video, even though I am on a 5K monitor (iMac 5K) and I have played 4K TH-cam videos before. Am I missing something here?
Ah wow. I guess it has to do with the length of the video as I have uploaded shorter 4K stuff and it was available almost immediately. Will check back on Sunday or so.
I live in vegas and all landmarks including the airforce base he started at to McCarran airport but the layout is fidgedty like the stratosphere is not that far from the strip and the adventure dome is rigt next to circus circus
Apparently it takes TH-cam an average of 72 hours to process a 4K 60 FPS (2160p60) video. I did not know this so apologies if 1440 and 4K is not yet available, it should be soon!
don't worry Paul . there is not point be watching it at 4k when I don't have a 4k monitor
Hey Squirrel, could you do a tutorial on how to play this sim?
I've been using FSX for a long time and kinda ditched the area about 2 years ago. So couple of videos on the basic stuff (Kinda like what you did for ATS) would be awesome!

Bonbon1948
I got into DCS lately, so ask away ;)
next time you play this game can you go to A51 and see is anything happens like will they tell you to turn back
THIS IS AWESOME!!!
Wow, I need this in my life. Does it work with the Oculus Rift or HTC Vive?
It actually does!
whoa! you know squirrel???
DCS World definitely supports the Oculus Rift, but I'm not sure about the HTC Vive.
+Squirrel It does support the Vive, or at least mine works with it.
Yo Barna, yep i use DCS with the vive and i have to say not even 10K would be better then this ...but there is a catch....yep its 3D but even a MONSTER pc cant handle even medium resolution . I have to put everything to minimum and thats with a GTX1080 ! but boy its AMAZING. ps luv your channel dude !
that animation is blowing my mind

Edit: Spelling
If u watch in 4K on 1080 monitor quality is better as u have a better image then straight 1080 as it is a better image down scaled
The toilet bowl exhaust is characteristic of the VNAF Huey, it helps protect the a/c from SA7 heat seeking missiles by cooling down the exhaust with the rotor wash.
After i set this to my moniters comfortable resolution it was the BEST EVER
That was great. You have some of the best DCS commentary. In 1080p it looks fantastic as well.
That "barbeque lighter" sound is pretty much the sound of the igniters. They only run til the engine starts and like any turbine they are turned off after it starts since the fire burns continuously in a turbine engine. This is the first sim where I have heard it. I use to stand back by the engine with a fire extinguisher while I peered into the engine cowling while my Hueys started. Part of the job of a crew chief. This is a great simulator game, incredible detail. Well done on the video.
Dreamfoil Bell 407 for Xplane 10 also simulates the igniter sound.
Have not tried that. Thanks.
Once I went to Las Vegas. Sadly I am too young to gamble but it was still extremely cool to walk around on the strip!
Thanks for that video, awesome, as a former Air Force crew chief on F-15's, I really enjoyed seeing the planes on final, now I'm looking on Amazon and the monitors are in stock.....
Really?
Anti collision light should be on before engine start/movement
I am staying at the hotel in the thumbnail lol
The bellagio
I absolutely love watching your DCS videos, so when I saw it was in 4K I screamed and jumped on TH-cam to watch it.
The Las Vegas depicted here is from the 90s, it's grown a lot since then and looks quite different
Will have to rewatch this once TH-cam fully process's the 4k video. Watching on my 4K tv so it should be awesome once it's processed.
On your way back to Nellis AFB you flew over a gunshop named Battlefield Vegas just across the street from Circus Circus, among a bunch of military vehicles there’s a Huey on display at the entrance, thought you might be interested to see it next time you tour Vegas
I wish FSX scenery was that detailed!
Paul Maskell it's a 10 year old simulator...
Squirrel more DCS man pls
can you take a trip out into the mountains along colorado river?
I don't think I could not go 4k until 144Hz/fps is realistic, I've tried playing back in 60hz again and I just do not know how people do it.
some televisions are 4k 200hz so you can probably get a monitor in 144hz mabey
Yeah, but the problem is computers will not run 4K at over 144fps for some time and until that point I think I'll have to stick to 1080 (:
Just use DSR (Nvidia) / VSR (AMD/Radeon), it will allow you to downsample 4k and retain your monitors 144hz (or highest possible)
I have the feeling this is going to be good. It looks like you can see my old Red Horse squadron in the background.
4k!!!
Pros: everything! Non cataract views!
Cons: Fps
Even watching this on my iphone 6 (even though it is 1080p) this looks incredible
Never thought I'd see a NASCAR track in any game like this built to scle. And the real reason there's no people is because it's Friday and they're practicing.
But they made a BIG mistake, they had them going down where pit road is. Who ever made it must have never seen a race there.
Richard Erskine I thought the same thing. XD
Great looking video Squirrel, Looks like the YOS is going great for you, with the computer and all coming out! Way to go man.
wow! the detail is amazing great video paul love it
+Squirrel fun fact the race way is las vegas motor speedway. i watched a nascar race there a few weeks ago
My eyes are bleeding! Awesome Sir Squirrel !
Do you think we can get an updated your if your setup/office space? I know you did one a while back but it would be cool to see the update with the wallmount monitor
Congrats for your first 4k video! Great video as allways!! :D
This is by far the best thing ive seen!!!
Ok so just quickly, why exactly does the product page for the monitor have a Lancaster... firing out of it's 3rd engine... at an F-14?
squirrel it's 2 years since last time, dont you think it's time to play in the mud again? as it has come some nice mods in the steam workshop
4K all the way...love this
Very nice 4K video. I also have a 4K PC and monitor. I am currently running the disc version 1.2 of DCS Huey. I would like to do the latest version 2.0 on a fresh install from the dcs world website. I want the Vegas edition, so can you please tell me the correct order to download this so that i don't get errors during the install. Thanks!
Also wouldnt the short saying for it be DCSW ? Or does DCS sound better???? I have no idea at all
Nice video, but when you said (around 15:00) that Freesync kicks in between 40-60 fps its not acctualy what is happening cos you have Nvidia card. It would be true for AMD card. I have MG278Q /1440p /144hz (FreeSync) and gtx 1080 combination running DCS
Any reason why you don't use rift?
My laptop would DIE trying to keep 60 FPS running that much content!
CBaccari's PC Simulation Channel Try use a desktop and stick a 1050 in it..
do hueys really have flybars like rc helis??
I know this is a old video.. But I'm just wondering if you would be so kind as to tell me what you use when flying the helis in sims?
That looks amazing dude!
I feel a birthday coming up soon!😀
is there any chance squirrel that you could do another fishing planet video please
I have a 4K screen . . this video was amazing.
Looks like you don't have a 4K screen then
+IanRM every where but your house
+IanRM and most people use a 1080p monitor so don't know what your talking about
" don't know what your talking about ". Probably because the comment was made to Paul and not you. I detect the green jealousy monster taken you over.
+IanRM why would I be jealous that you have a 1080p I have one too lmao and learn to reply to comments the right way
could you doe how to videos for dcs like how to map keys and setups
Which joystick and rudders do you use Squirrel? I've bought some modules in DSC but i dont know which joystick to go for.
Hey squirrel do you know what is going with the give away because you haven't made a video about it so i don't know if the winners have been drawn
can you do a video on attack helicopters like the Z-10 or mi-mi 28 HAVOC?
Hope you all have a nice July
Entertaining and informative, thanks! I did try to watch in 4K but it buffers too slow so went down to 1080p.
Hi, what about freesync and NVIDIA? As I understand it NVIDIA doesn't support freesync so you have no use of that feature with your card, right?
Now that you mentioned it, I particularly like the compass attached to the side there in this helicopter. Nice flying skills by the way. As for Vegas I'm not too impressed looking at it closely but seeing the whole picture it does feel like in real life.

heh, you got lucky flying over the Bellagio fountains at that height, would have been interesting if they went off...or isn't that implemented?
+knytestorme lol they are inactive in this map but yeah that would be fun
the details are very good
What happens when you crash into a building?
What does 1 to 1 scale mean?
Does it mean that the size of it is as real?
Yes it does. It means that every 1 measurement in game equals the same measurement in the real world. So 1 meter = 1 meter etc.
Great explanation. Thanks!
I projected this onto my 4k TV and it was awesome, thanks squirrel! you might know me from the stream as Shawdog19!!!!
What video card would I need to use the monitor.
Just curious are weapons hot in this game looking into getting this one at some point
I just love the detail they put into NTTR. Have you ever been to Hoover Dam ? Its so amazing ! :)
+GT Racers yep it's pretty cool - I flew the Huey under the bridge there :)
that racetrack is Las Vegas Speedway primarily used for Nascar
When will you bring more bus simulator?
so I downloaded the Arizona dlc for ATS before I put the game in the 1.3 open beta. so when I go to the map Arizona is grey but there is no roads in Arizona and I can't go there what do I do also keep up the good work
Also why do you need a 4K moniter to have 4K videos?
The Bellagio fountain is now a Huey wash :)
Watch your vids in 144p for true slav experience
cyka
Clorox Bleach your everywhere just like me
if you want to test your helo skills try doing the hanger test from arma 3, that's if that map is available for dts.
when is ats coming back
What do you use to controll the heli Squirrel?, do you have pedals, as well as something to controll the collective, and then joystick on top of that?
+Hirzo Schuurman I use a ThrustMaster Warthog HOTAS and MFG Crosswind Rudder pedals
Squirrel Thanks for your reply. And collective also on the warthog?
Is there even something available for collective controll that's more like the real thing? Would be awesome for the realism.
You use the throttle to control collective since the actual Huey throttle remains at 100% at all times (hold PgUp/PgDn in DCS to control throttle). I looked at buying a device for controlling throttle and collective but they are fiercely expensive.
Make sure to look inside the hangars at Area 51. There is an easter egg in one of them.
Thanks. I have just downloaded DCS and I know DCS is a combat sim. But I do hope they add a few more Sceneries/Military seneries like this one. I also hope they get around to doing something in the U.K and Europe..Mike from Scotland
What was the graphics card you used for this ? thanks
Everything is spot on with Las Vegas map they forgot the roller coasters one on the stratosphere one in New York and another one by the stratosphere I know this because I used to live in Vegas
Love the video squirrel hope to see more Dcs
The shadows look weird kinda also i see a resolution drop when you look at the information stuff
Great video as per usual paul :)
Looks just real!! nice vid :)
Is this supported on Mac???
Nice video. Trump Tower is a golden colour, rather than 'yellow'.
Love the DCS videos!

I have dual-monitors 4k at 55' witch are 2 smart tv at 4k with IPS. I play DCS world on them 4k and yea sound big an 55' monitor but after like 2 month's seems just ok. Not to big not to small but you feel like SOMETHING BIGGER IS GONNA BE BETTER. =]]
hopefully with the ATS rescale we will have bigger cities
Would be nice to try this on my computer in 5k, scenery sure is detailed :)
Squirrel do you enjoy doing DCS world vids?
I really enjoy it. You are my fav youtuber.
Squirrel can you imagine ETS/ATS but with helicopters build you own freelance helicopter company with customizable helicopters that could be set up to take contracts from Swat, mountain rescue coast guard, Private military contracts and it`s up to you to decide what direction your company goes in
yeah but they never really aimed for the whole build your own company thing it was just a story more than that, i`d love to see some do take on heli 2 set up like ETS/ATS not story based
why was the altimeter only showing between 200 and 600 feet?... Las Vegas is at about 2200 feet elevation.
Isn't that the distance to the ground?
altimeters display altitude above swa level...unless maybe it was slaved to a radar altimeter or something.
sea level
Alan Jerousek Okay thx.
The altimeter was zeroed at the start of the flight, so it wasn't showing true altitude above sea. Pretty common to reset your barometric altimeter to 0 on the runway where you start. That's why tower will tell you the barometric settings to use as well, so that while you approach, you can make sure the altimeter reads 0 on the runway.... Since, well, frankly, who cares how high above sea level you are as a pilot. You care about how high above the ground you are :)
I have a mac and I'm sure i remember it saying somewhere it has retina display can anyone explain what retina display actually is?
Can you use the mini gun on traffic jams please?
You have to buy every vehicle right in this right?
For the most part yes, but there are a couple of vehicles included as part of the free download.
Ahh ok thanks :)
damnsjkab mhjdsfbsmedjm No problem.
Did this ever go to 4K in the end? Watching On iOS device and see no options for quality.
Will be ready in a few days for 4K. Your device may not support it.
+The Dude I didn't imagine it would support it. But have a retina screen that will do.
What is the game called, and are there any cities other than Las Vegas?
It is DCS world. BTW it is free if you want it.
For some very weird reason TH-cam only gives me a 1080p60 as the highest resolution on this video, even though I am on a 5K monitor (iMac 5K) and I have played 4K TH-cam videos before. Am I missing something here?
You have to wait for TH-cam to process it. Should be ready in a few days.
Ah wow. I guess it has to do with the length of the video as I have uploaded shorter 4K stuff and it was available almost immediately. Will check back on Sunday or so.
I live in vegas and all landmarks including the airforce base he started at to McCarran airport but the layout is fidgedty like the stratosphere is not that far from the strip and the adventure dome is rigt next to circus circus
Freesync is all well and good, but you have an Nvidia GPU and they don't work together do they?
There is working G P U having Freesync it is 1060 6 G B you needing check reddit !!
When will you make ets2 mod videos again
