On this channel we like to do a lot of dogfighting most videos are some sort of dogfight between 2 different aircraft as we explore their different capabilities. From time to time I like to dabble in Virtual Reality, I think VR is a great new technology and I love to show that stuff off for the channel from time to time.
If you enjoy war thunder or Microsoft flight simulator 2020, consider getting yourself into Digital Combat Simulator by Eagle Dynamics, the Combat side of Aviation with the BVR and Dogfights really provides a different and interesting perspective on aviation. You can fly all kinds of combat aircraft including the F-16, F-15, F-14, JF-17, Su-27, Mig-29, Mirage and the F-18 Hornet along with many other aircraft and helicopters like the Ka-50 and Mi-8. - เกม

I had a tremendous amount of fun with this video, thank you to you guys for suggesting it, I highly highly recommend the VR experience its a lot of fun, for anyone wondering I forgot to mention in the video but I'm using the Oculus Rift S VR set for this video and the specs for my PC are in the video description. Hope you guys enjoyed the video and thank you for watching.
Would love to see a 1 life campaign in vr
That kicked Ass
There's no way to explain to someone what VR is like til they just frickin try it. It's really mind blowing.
I always wondered how useful those tail gunners were in real life
Wait until you try it with our new clouds.
Imagine explaining to someone in 1916 that in just 100 years you would be "playing" what they experienced for fun, wild.
Theyd probably be very insulted
@@aprylrittenhouse4562 or darkly amused
@@Dozornui
Future Boi: Hey there! I know what it's like to to be in a dog fight without dying in real life!
WWI Pilot: ....interesting.
Imagine telling Northern Europeans in 1916 that in just 100 years they'd be minorities in their own cities and that White Americans would be minorities in their country in the youth demographic.
@@m0rvidusm0rvidus18 I'd tell him that his great-great mixed race grandson twerks at Pride parades and then ask him if it was worth it.
Next logical step is "World War 1 Dogfights in Real Life Are Insane"
Adam savage did it. he used Peter Jackson's ww1 airplanes rigged with a fancy laser tag system
There's a few replicas and historical aircraft. Just gotta find someone willing to let him fly or take him up in a two-seater...
MAN AND MACHINE AND NOTHING IN BEETWEN.
@@jmace5964 that’s fucking cool is there a video?
@@qp4565 yeah just search adam savage ww1 planes. Peter Jackson had the planes built for him super impressive cause he had a company straight up cast and machine copies of their original engines so they sound proper
Holy crap you hear them scream in their burning planes. That's a bit raw.
Kind of dark too.
I'm pretty sure he edited that in lol
@@laihela i am pretty sure it's in game
He edited it in, which was a nice touch
@@luccaprado1 I guess you'd know (or I will take your word Mr. (Faerber))
Accessories required for this game in VR:
Fan, variable speed.
Hot plate, on high.
Pan, cast iron.
Castor oil, for true olfactory immersion.
and a killer in your room so you really fell scared
@@supermariokid6913 lmao!
@@supermariokid6913 nah try playing under a coconut tree.
one of those rocker devices on your chair so it feels like your plane is about to come apart.
And a barf bag
That ending was like an epic movie climax, especially with the artillery rounds hitting all around you coming in while gliding. That was some main character energy there.
The chunk of missing propeller was a nice touch.
It was like the ending in Dunkirk
Just for the record. GS is flying on our WWII winter Stalingrad map hence the artillery bombing the city. We also have a summer themed WWI Arras map (which comes with FC1) that you can fly over which is a much more suitable WWI environment. Our new much larger WWI Western Front map is under development for Flying Circus Vol II and III.
I look forward to trying your new ww1 map once it comes out lots of exciting things for IL-2 in store down the road.
I’m confused as what to buy, Is this the Stalingrad Great Battles game or is it Flying Circus I ? (I played IL2 Cliffs of Dover years ago, all these new versions are confusing me, lol).
Would love to give some ww1 dogfighting a go though, i have Rise of Flight as well, just noticed its the same team.
@@darkcognitive This is Flying Circus brother
@@GrowlingSidewinder Ahh ok sweet thanks. Their whole IL2 lineup is just mega confusing….Some on steam, some not on steam, some require others to work, some don’t…..thanks for clearing that up though i will check it out for sure.
@@darkcognitive Even more confusing is that FC1 (WW1) is not its own game but a DLC for IL2 Battle of Stalingrad (WW2)...
Damn this is like aerial murder simulator, WWI dogfights are just brutal.
You are aware this wasnt just one fight :P he edits them together to make it seem like one, watch his ammo counter, it keeps resetting back to 500 :)
@@roadsweeper1 Not 100%, but if this is based on the IL-2 engine and he's playing online, there IS a mechanic that refills your ammo so that fights don't just turn into people ramming each other.
@@SlyBlu7 ah yes ramming!!!! I love this strategy in world of warships
There were some comments I saw earlier, can't seem to find them now about hand signals. Yes, we have modeled several hand gestures that the pilots can make. Hit the tilde key and choose pilot gestures. You can also shoot different colored flares and shoot pistols.
wow, that's awesome!
I find this more enjoyable due to natural head movements in the cockpit, good one
TrackIR 5 is good too.
@@Gunter_Severloh I have both TrackIR and VR. This game is so much better in VR. It actually runs really well now.
I still use my TrackIR for DCS because VR doesn't quite run well enough for me.
Ducking is the best sign of immersion! All you need is to have a can of used motor oil on your desk in front of the fan for olfactory ambience to complete the experience!
This is so cool! The courage of the pilots back them is amazing.
Great idea !
A man had little to choose from, as far as "way to go"...The trenches were way worse, in my view.
Castor oil lol (gives you the runs, thats what the stiff whiskey post flight is for)
And a revolver in case you get set on fire.
Castor oil is what was used.
@@highflya2709 Only in rotaries. Inline engines, like this Fokker's used regular engine oil.
Dude, you probably couldn't have chosen a better plane to fly in. The Fokker DVII came along later in the war, but is arguably the best fighter of WWI.
It was that good it was even mentioned by the Allies in the Versailles treaty, telling the Germans that they hand to hand all of them over.
There were actually two better planes: The Siemens-Schuckert D.IV was the "premium plane" which was of higher overall quality and the Fokker D.VIII which was a monoplane & only in action for the last few weeks of the war (but proved even deadlier than the D.VII).
Still, the D.VII was feared by the Entente and was the most successful mass-produced WW1 fighter. I only wanted to point out that there is still more to "discover". ;)
@@jessasnamoi Thanks!
i love how GS is obviously reacting out of fear hahaha... every time i hear bullet hits on the aircraft he instinctively docks down hahaha.... this is the best VR showcase I've seen so far... definitely makes people jealous and want to try
10:25 About that concept of letting the enemy live as long as they’re out of the fight, there was also a general rule in WW2 against shooting crippled aircraft or especially men in parachutes. In fact, I heard that a Luftwaffe officer or something directly told the pilots under his command that if they shot a man who had bailed out of his plane, he’d kill them himself, or something along those lines. Even the German pilots in that war took those rules of engagement very seriously. In fact, that one bf-109 pilot that spared a crippled B-17 that wasn’t able to shoot back, and was barely keeping itself in the air at low altitude, explained that the reason he spared it was because to him, shooting it down would have been no different from shooting a parachute.
Meanwhile in War Thunder, no such morals exist. If you’re crippled and trying to make it back to base, the other players will finish you off with no hesitation.
Bf1 will go after your wife and kids, or camp spawn or bomb your Allies
The red Baron said that if he saw you kill a parachuting pilot he’d shoot you himself
@@PlasticMoviesWithToySoldiers I see.
That was excellent, really enjoyed every minute, hopefully we get to see more? 👍😉
Oh we will see more, Growling is a machine. Though he has inspired me too. Time for me to contribute to the community and lead from the front like him!
Johnny described a dogfight for his classmates, saying "These Fokker's flew down in a surprise attack... " just then the teacher told everyone that a Fokker was a German WWI fighter. "Yeah, but these Fokker's were Messerschmidt's" Johnny replied. lol
The excitement of WW1 open air cockpit dogfights without any of the downsides is literally what humanity has been waiting for, it's literally the intended culmination of all we have been teching for.
so when are you and LongShot going to team up in that plane with the rear gunner?
When 2 dummies take on the kaiser... let's go
I would thumb this up but you already have 69 likes
Flying in a WW1 fighter in my Occulus Quest 2 is probably the most visceral experience I ever had! It really transports you into what pilots in that era experienced and it is both thrilling and scary at the same time.
Do you use the Joystick, Throttle and pedals when using the Quest 2?
@@Combersome I do. It's so awesome.
Dude how did you set that up? My quest 2 won’t connect to IL2
I love how my Oculus gives me the 1:1 scale when I'm playing Elite Dangerous. After you landed and said "I'm safe", then the shell hit just ahead of you, I laughed and said "Are you sure?".
I grew up playing red baron and blue max, so this is hitting my nostalgia bone.
Red Baron II is a great game...
BEST VIDEO EVER!!! Just an Awesome video. I am so jealous of the fun you had in this. I mean I have watched a lot of your stuff and nothing has compared to this!!! MORE MORE MORE!!!!
Yo how do you do those planes emoticon ???

Welcome to the club! :D There isn't any other experience quite like WW1 in VR. Easier to aim, too.
Edit: Try a Bristol F2B with two overwing guns. Closest thing to a heavy fighter that still turns. The Dolphin can mount two additional guns, but it's a little clunkier with that much added weight.
What kind of setup would you recommend for someone that wants to get into WW1 VR? I used to play a lot of war thunder but this looks awesome
Flying WW1 dogfights in VR is the best experience I have ever had in a flight sim. The planes have lower performance and lower lethality, so the fights start much closer and take place at much closer range. By the time WW2 rolled around, the fights are starting at a range when I can barely ID the target. In WW1, I can tell if its a Fokker or an Albatros that I am attacking well before I have to worry about getting shot at. Once the fight begins I get close enough to see the pilot, to see the squadron and personal markings so that I know who I am fighting. Its much more personal and immersive.
@@wutang9641 The best graphics card and CPU you can afford (IL2 is pretty CPU bottlenecked, so both are important). Most of the modern headsets are plenty good. I use the Valve Index, but the HP Reverb and Reverb G2 are good, as is the Oculus Quest 2 with the link cable to connect to the PC.
@@gascan Thanks!
@@gascan Thanks for the info! 👍
Even the landing looked scary; with VR must be a blast to fly the WWI planes, and also make it more personal.
This game is f***ing insane 🤯
I don't think games are supposed to be this terrifyingly real...
Next time invite Longshot.
I'd love to see GS and LS dual crew a Bristol.
now imagine GS has Longshot on the back as a gunner, that would be funny to see and hear those comments :)
"and we're safe"
*BOOM*
"Oh maybe not so safe..." 😂
This video would make a great action sequence for a movie! Especially the landing among artillery explosions!
LOVE the analog rounds counters on the guns.
I gotta go check my shorts after this one. SCARY!
VR is another world for IL2, after the first flight with my reverb G2, i pretty much abandoned my monitor.
*Man, on fire, screaming, firing his machine gun as his last act of life*
"That guy, you gotta admire that guy"
I lost it lol
That was awesome. Keep up good work, it really felt like I was in plane with you. Wow, intense!
Great video! Combination of realistic head movements and the chaos of the fight really had my adrenalin going 😬, epic landing too
What an absolutely beautiful game. WWI air battles have always been fascinating to me. I think I'm sold; not only on the game, but also as a new sub. Well done!
Glad to see this getting the attention it deserves - when I played Il2 in VR for the first time I was blown away! Years of playing it on a flat screen and now feeling like im in the plane itself. As much as I love the ww2 planes, the flying circus addon is a whole new experience with the ww1 dogfights. It took a while before I realised the Spad isn't a fan of fast dives - I was convinced I was always shot up, and the plane wasn't just collapsing under the forces 🤣
I absolutely LOVE your ww1 vids. Keep up the good work!
Look at this guy trying to be humane...
*"I was trying to kill this guy before he burned all the way down."*
Trying to put him out of his misery before the NPC burns to death 🤣 respect
Great vid!
Im an old IL2 veteran when the first game first came out. Loved it to bits.
Never got around to battle of moscow and its dlc. But this makes me wanna! I noticed the models from rise of flight.
Really cool stuff!
Also the part at 12:17 really got me. Perfec tuse of the BF theme :D You can imagine a real WWI pilots crazy survival story seeing this!
Thanks Growler, sweet content man.
Hearing that guy scream when the plane was on fire going down gave me chills. Realism and Immersion factor X 10!
AWESOME vid!!! LOVED it thanks
Dang, I have had this title for a year, I never saw just how amazing it is. The wing smoking your prop was gold. Installing it now.
Awesome vid! Since the first one, I was hoping to see this in VR and now that I have, damn that looks like fun.
Oh man....with VR you were dead on with your rounds...very cool! Lived to fight another day.
Keep em coming!!!!
really been enjoying all these videos!
That was SICK!
YES I CAN HEAR YOU JUST FINE. THE VIDEO IS GREAT! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!
Wow, I’m brand new to this. Fantastic. A childhood dream has come true.
Awesome stuff man. Was flying WW1 in the Red Baron 3D days and then Rise of Flight. Have to say this in VR looks amazing. 👍🏽👍🏽
That's cool! I love the ww1 planes and dogfights , I gotta get this, thanks!!
Looks and sounds like a ton of fun! Thanks GS
Love these videos man, keep em coming! Bi-Planes in VR is awesome. 🤙💯
I am a tanker in games and I was infantry for real... But these videos from you really touched something in me. Many thanks for sharing this experience!
Thanks for watching brother
Dude, all the intencity was transmitted. Wow, amazing
Damn fine video! Immersive! Congrats and gratitude to the first pilot who at the time of death, gave us neutral stick for the sweet and slow glide to his Earthly resting place.
Nice to see some Flying Circus action and that you enjoy it so much. I've been on the fence for a long time.
This channel kicks butt, GS you ROCK bro,
No u rock Antonio
PLEASE more of that! It felt realistic, even on a 2D-Video. Awesome!
So happy to see World War 1 flight sims getting some attention again. I've been playing them forever. Rad Baron, Dawn Patrol, Wings of Glory, Flying Corps, Red Baron 2 and then a long stretch of nothingness til Rise of Flight. Love em all. Have fun!
Loved the color paper maps that came with red baron, you needed them to navigate
5:40
Just LOVE how the guy screams in pain as he's getting burned to a crisp!
Macabre! (dastardly smile!)
Nice touch...
VR extrapolates the gameplay experience ! And yes, I can understand you physically ducking.
And agree about the real 3D perception, the fact to have a real scale world around you and the freedom to look naturally "any" way... even backwards.
Yes, appropiate description for VR experience is : INSANE !!
Amazing. Looking forward to more vr content!
The landing at the end was awesome !!
Absolutely buttered the bread with that landing after he lost his prop
The joy in your voice is infectious..
More of these please. Looks amazing
Love the hit cam replays!
Great content, as always!
For those just getting into the game, the busy times for multiplayer are Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons. If you are new, the discord link is in the server description; feel free to jump in and people will help you learn your aircraft. The best part of WW1 multiplayer is it doesn't take much experience to become and asset to the team. The learning curve on most of the planes is very shallow and the fights last long enough that you don't constantly insta-die. I hope to see GS join us for a campaign sometime.
Thank you, more of these. I love the WWI stuff.
Amazing video, love the WW1 & WW2 content. Biplanes in VR reminds me of Flyboys!!
Looks fun. Gotta give this a try too
More rudder!! Those crates had to be flown with the rudder input hence the old term “stick and rudder.” Also lots of cross control input. I’ve flown several different museum scale radio control models of WWI planes and they are technical to fly well. Video looks great as usual GS, keep’em coming!
i only wish IL-2 had more players, only thing holding me back. Excellent underrated sim.
It was once the best combat sim in the world, period.
My first flysim, that I played for more than 10 years, thanks to the modding community
@@LongTran-em6hc I think it still is for ww2
The community is slowly growing so that's a good sign I guess
People want to fly the planes they take the time to learn in online dogfighting, not the first one available, I don't think their multiplayer works in that aspect at all.

Thanks for expanding my vocab, dude!
My pleasure brother
Good video! I like the jet content, but this is magic.
Best ad for VR. Thank you, buddy. Getting this game. See you in the skies.
That looks pretty badass. Growing up I played a lot of Red Baron on my old 486 and Red Baron 3D later on.
I absolutely love this VR! Incredible video. Please do more WW1.
My grandfather was an engine fitter working on Bristol Fighters during WWI. His rouse to get in the air was to try to fix an engine problem on the ground, and then announce that he really needed to hear it when airborne to make sure that the (insert spurious noise here) had properly disappeared when the engine was under more strain. You ordinarily weren’t allowed to fly unless you were an officer. Of course he was never involved in any fighting but it gave him the aviation bug. In WWII he was engineer aboard 63 foot ‘whaleback’ Air Sea Rescue Launches, plucking downed aircrew from the sea, as well as dropping off SOE agents off the coast of France. The launches had three 500hp Napier Sealion engines, so using just one to reduce the noise, they’d sneak up to the coast at night and drop off agents via an inflatable dinghy. His son worked on the tail assembly of the Canberra bomber, and later became head of the crashworthiness section at Sikorsky, working on the Black Hawk.
WW1 in VR is simply brilliant. The recently added four day mission is so much more intense than anything else I have played. Uber realistic. A real must for the purist. Great video as always Mr Sidewinder.
Oh man this is awesome.... I have to get that set up
My great 3x grand uncle Otto served as a observer/gunner in German Imperial Air Service in WW1 flying in Hanovers and Rumblers from 1916 to 1917 after being wounded in action against French Spads , he was credited was 6 official victories in combat , wounded 4 times and shot down / force to land a staggering 9 times. He later transferred to Jasta 11 on ground staff in charge of supply. As a Lt in Reserve. He was awarded Iron Cross 1st class and second, observers badge , wound badge in silver . Surviving the war he later went to Canada in 1930 and stayed until 1960 and moved to Oakland, California until his death in 1991at the age of 95
Really enjoyable video this was to watch
Nice landing Bossman especially in Virt. Real. That must've been tough.
Awesome video! More please.
Wow, that was incredibly immersive, and I didn't even have the benefit of the VR. Takes me back to my days playing Red Baron II.
Loved the ending! Got me all extra nostalgic.
Nice first landing! I still nose in alot, and ground loop every time.
This is awesome. Please make more
Loving these vids!!! Love WW1 stuff so much
prociding to buy IL-2 on Steam right now, thanks for the video mate. Cheers.
I played DCS, MSFS 2020 and IL-2 in VR and the IL-2 experience is by far the best.
Good video ! You are right, VR is at its best in WW1 fights.
I always enjoyed the 1st person dogfight simulators. Even the earliest "3-D" raster graphics (line art) versions.
(Approx. 1983)
We used to hook up the cassette ports on 2 of our Radio Shack Color Computers (back to back) with a 4-pin patch cable (for communications), and run the program "P-51" (I know... WW2), using the keyboard or a joystick for control, and fly head to head. We would use a CRT color TV, (usually through the antenna on Ch3 or Ch4), and although the graphics "mode" was ONLY monochrome, by software resetting the interlace, it generated red or blue colored lines for the outlines of the aircraft and the 3-D world. Primitive by any current standards, but tremendous fun!
I gotta go look in the attic now and dig out some antiques.
I haven't flown in vr but I have flown with 3d glasses on before and I agree with everything you were saying, the increased depth perception made me far more deadly and accurate. Looking forward to the future of vr flight combat.
What a kick in the pants. This looks like a total rush.
I've played Warplanes WWI VR, but this game takes it to another level! Very nice cinematic footage.
