His happines is just sticky. Like I'll be happier due to his happines. Love it
when i was a little kid 20 years ago.. i remember thinking "imagine the video games in the future.. woaaaaw", i guess this is it.
I played Ace of Aces on the C64 and tought it looks amazing. ^^
I am just learning the F18, and have shot a few rounds from the cannon, but I am enjoying just flying around the different maps. I enjoy replays in VR, I can just sit back and enjoy a previous flight in VR, it's a really cool way to show friends and family the coolness of DCS without them haveing to control anything just enjoy the flight.
Absolutely perfect ... Only thing missing are the hands on all the controls, toggles, switches and knobs as you do your checklist
Bravo on the landing !
Looks beautiful. I don't think flatscreeners can know exactly how impressive this is without trying it. However cool it looks on video, it's easily 10x better when you're experiencing it. Good video!
flatscreener is the only in term i've been deeply hurt by, I need a vr headset ffs😂
This VR view is not through the VR lenses. VR images are not this crispy.
@@eebarreto exactly. usually pixelated because most VR headsets are still pretty jenky
@@daniell1869 Doesn't matter. Crispy is different than immersive.
Pinball is the same way. Playing virtual pinball in pancake mode on a 4K OLED display looks nice, but then you put on a VR headset and you're like HOLY F**K!
I agree. Learning how to fly the aircraft is more exciting than combat.
I am not alone! Thanks for your comment!
Completely agree
I mean... how are you supposed to combat anyways, without learning how to fly the aircraft? xD
@@laubox Hi, can i ask you what kind of periphereals do you use alongside your Pimax headset please? I got a full TrackiR, HOTAS and pedals setup and i’m wondering what could be my next upgrade : a 4k Oled monitor or a Pimax VR headset, but if i need a home cockpit or something similar to replace my keyboard and mouse i rather stay in real reality than the virtual one ^^
Oh and uh, you can’t use your keyboard because you can’t see it right?
Thanks m8
In DCS the ww2 planes are so badly modeled that they try to spontaneously back flip on takeoff. Trying to learn them should be extra exciting lol.
Man that is clear!
Dutch DCS fan here, Like the videos! subscribed🎉
Wow . I had the pleasure of flying the Grace spitfire here in the UK last year. Your graphics are incredible. Very realistic. The engine sound was a little different but otherwise it's amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Thats what iL2 Great Battles needs, is arms and legs in the cockpit .
Interessante video, bedankt :)
Hi, I loved your enthusiasm. Landing a spitfire varies depending on the mark, but generally, with engine assisted - about 85 to 90 mph, IAS should do it.
If you haven't already done it, I would suggest buying a copy of Pilots Notes for the Mk 9. I found it invaluable. 😊
Awesome video! Really love the way you presented this piece. A tip for landing spitfire though, land nose down and let the aft end lower to the ground on its own, when slowing down after touch down. That way you have visual on landing safely. Basically, landing is similar to take off but in reverse.
Hotas controllers plus VR can be very complicated.
I wish they had some sort of a mouse VR pointer that you can wear as a ring to toggle cockpit switches too.
They do its called PointCtrl.
Its a setting with in DCS under the VR tab, But you need to setup the left click and right click buttons on your hotas.
haha, not sure if you´re being sarcastic, bc it exists. other than that you can also use handtracking to emulate mouse.
I use a ring mouse. Bought it from aliexpress. Works very well.
You should do a run-up, check the mags, carb heat, and cycle the prop a few times while checking your pressures and temps before takeoff.
Wonderful. Pick a point on the horizon as you take off (or a cloud if they are not moving too fast) and during final approach to keep the plane aligned. As you get low, use peripheral vision to help with the glide slope. If you get to know the airport, you will have a feel for the layout of it, the fences, the hangars, etc, so you know how far you are from the ground and the threshold.
that external flap indicator is interesting, it's literally just a flap indicator, useful for combat when you're looking outside a lot
Hi
Thank you so Much for this excellent vidéo .
I have a Pimax Crystal since 3 Week x .
I Play in vr in DCS World since 2016 with more headset :
Oculus cv1
HTC Vive et Vive pro 2
Pimax 5k+
Pimax 8kX
Hp Reverb g2
Varjo Aero
And the best of the best VR headset and an TRUE 4K Screen in Game it’s : PIMAX CRYSTAL.
I have 4000x4500 résolution /90hz with my RTX 4090/amd 7800X3D/ + OpenXRtookit + DFR eyetracking + Pimax XR + Open composite + Quadview+ Quadview companion =
THE BEST HEADSET in simulation and my Alyx 😍😍
Aplushhss
I love these videos but I wish they wouldn't talk through the whole thing. Let the video do the talking! I can see how awesome it is - no need to tell us every 10 seconds. Too much commentary ✌️
I do some long videos where I don’t talk and I think they are so boring I have just given up posting them.
You typed a book out instead of just tapping mute. Not a problem solved huh?
@@robm321 Four sentences = a book to you?
That’s typical dutch.
I agree, I don’t get having to take 30 minutes just to move the dam thing. That isn’t fun to me. Isn’t there a simplified version? For gods sake
Most joysticks have a hat button where in some of the early flight sims you could use it to look all around the cockpit like in VR but for some reason that button is no longer used to look around in modern flight sims but to select flight menus.
its 220 mph ;)
Yes Warbirds in VR are awesome. Good flying tho
The future is now.wow.
Imagine how cool it would be to get a next level spitfire pilot from ww2 to play this shit. It looks incredible.
This looks dope. I've shunned VR headsets so far, but flying WWII aircraft sounds worth it! Seems common they made these planes to take off and fly, but landing was hindsight.
I thought the right side tyre has burst for a few seconds. Great graphics.
Nah, they only burst and fall off on Boeings.. He's good to go with the old-school USA engineering 😊
Nothing beats the P51D
I couldn't even taxi successfully at first.
Disable the air traffic labels in the next video😊
In order to see better, side-slip the a/c. Add power as side-slipping increases rate of descent. Wing dow-top rudder. It's used all the time to get down to altitude quickly. Also good practice for cross-wind approaches/landings.
Ah, I just prefer to do proper landing. He came in far too low, which became a serious liability with that big engine up front.
In general, this just wasn't a very good landing.
“We can dare for not go to fast otherwise we will go into a spin and that makes it even harder”…..😳
I have 3090 as well - subscribed
I'd have really liked to see a former real (served in WW2) Spitfire pilot have a go in one of these VR setups, although I'm not sure there's any left.
I have a 3070TI. Sadly I am still just under what's needed for DCS to run clean in my HMD. But VTOL is actually pretty good for a half-measure.
Fly a curved approach!!!
Hi. What a great video. I like it alot. Could you fly a B-52? I also like to graphics. Great job.
They should add some smoke upon ignition
How Did you controll the Switches in Cockpit? Its annoying me, to press Keys on the keyboard while wearing the vr Headset
This is awesome! wish I could experience this. Can you remove the red dots and text info from other planes to make it more immersive?
Trim rudder left? You trim right to counter the engine torque. I noticed when you took off the whole plane went left and you were 10 to 20 degress yawed of the center line.
Nice flyin and vid man. You should increase your vertical camera height and maybe move back a tiny bit so you could see out the front better. If I was you, using VR(which i dont have yet, i wanted a quest 3 till i heard you talking about eye tracking lol now I have to research that 😆) in that specific plane I'd prolly be sticking my head out the side of the canopy during takeoff and maybe landing to see better perhaps, thx VR 😆. I usually have a hard time taking off and landing planes with tail gear on MSFS with my flight rig nd I have over 1200 hrs flight time on that game alone. Ive been playing flight sims since msfs2000 or 2002(pc) and air combat 1(psone) and ace combat 2(pc). And i build custom cars and xboxes and PCs and im trying to get into working on planes and gotta work on getting my real pilots license and other stuff related to aircraft. 1st time on your channel, subscribed 👍 ✌️
hi Clutch! thanks buddy, appreciate the comment and ofcourse the SUB! I think for your first vr headset the Quest 3 will be amazing! You got a decent Computer rig?
I am also thinking of taking some flight lessons this year!
3:13 - I enjoy learning every control surface/aystem/ in every sim. DCS/XPLANE/MSFS. Thank you for this experience. Saving up for new pc components/hardware to get this experience at home.
Awesome! Thanks for the comment!
When you have played in VR you find that playing in 2D is pants. The first time i played in VR i got vertigo lol
We should agree to differ - learning the authentic start up procedures is for me the biggest chore, and way down at the bottom of my list. I fly DCS for the fun of flying, navigating, dogfights in warbirds and ground bombing in the modern jets. and best of all formation flying with a few friends. Your VR graphics look fantastic!
People say VR images are not this crispy.. they are on a Pimax. I have one. you dop need a BEASTLY video card though
Love to hear the engine a bit more.
Hey. Good video.
Can you please answer one question? Can we use standard oculus motion controller to essential control the plane? I mean, pitch, yaw etc.
Steeper approach will help. Throttle back full flap gear down. Flare to a 3 point landing at the very end. Can maintain a visual with the runway this way. Can also sideslip but it increases your workload. The long low approach you had screwed it all up. Also, ease on the throttle when taking off. You don’t need to get to 100%. You’ll be fighting torque all the way otherwise.
Will post a new vid if when doing some more training! Will take your feedback into account! thanks
@@laubox keep a 3 to 5 degree approach angle to the runway using the throttle to control decent / pitch. When you are ready to land ease back the power, pitch up, stall her to a 3 point landing. You got it.
What if the shadows aren't working, is the elevator still working? :D
Imagine being a terrified 19 year old with just a few hours of training taking off to engage in mortal combat.😬
Watch your rudder trim on take off and climb out - you're side slipping for no reason. Best of luck.
What VR headset are you using?
I can't even set my hotas to work properly 😂. I can't imagine adding VR in my setup 😢
There wont be any WW2 spitfire pilots still alive no more, I don't think so anyways, But can you imagine what it would do for some old dude who used to fly these bad ass planes, I am a Sim Racer myself, But I do plan on getting a VR in a few weeks......
Happy flying bro....
thanks buddy! happy racing to you!
wow, thats a very smooth VR video capture.
Any chance on getting a tutorial on how you capture your video?
This
If I had to take a guess it's an external video capture device such as an ELGATO HD60x or something. It allows you to capture your screen without having to put any taxing processing on your PC by mirroring the display to the capture device. So FPS and everything will show.
I also wanna know this
IM ON A Quest 2 making the upgrade to pimax cyrstal clear, i hope its worth the money but i love your indirect review to it. and i think im gonna enjoy it. i want to ask you a question tho, im running 3080 and ddr5 32gb 12900k you think the pimax will bottleneck the hardware? im planing to upgrade to 5090 as soon as it comes out.
which specs u got? i got my hp reverb and think about an upgrade
“The sound the sound!” All I can hear is the sound of your voice which is about 4x that of the game
Yeah, many came with the same feedback! I have changed it a bit in my newer video's. Thanks for the feedback!
Oh my god.. I got my Mata Quest 3 nex week.. and this is absolutly on my agenda:) BUT.. did you use a Flightstick or something else?
There won't be many WW2 pilots available to test this. However the Spitfire is still flown in the UK, so there are plenty of test pilots available.
Never heard of the Pimax. I have been playing in VR for years, it is amazing. Especially nice in helicopters.
Awesome! Pimax is great for clarity, not so for comfort!
I have one.. its amazing.. the FOV is really imperssive too.
What settings are you using in Pimax software/OpenXR/OpenXR Toolkit? because I have 3090 and I still cant hit max settings? Even on the medium stetting's I play on I still get really bad performance = stuttering/45fps or lower for example. It's so bad that I cant fly near city's because the game becomes unplayable. Please help, I'm desperate at this point XD
3090 is underpowered for high resolution VR in DCS
Hi, never set the altimeter to 0 ft (sealevel)!!! The altimeter is set to the airfield altitude. This allows you to better estimate the altitude when landing at an airfield that is not the same as the one you took off from. Changes in the weather change the altitude display value, which results in a shift in the zero point. When landing at an unfamiliar airfield, the required air pressure is received by radio and is then set on the altimeter. The geographical altitude above sealevel should always be known. 😉
Dear Santa...
You really need to keep on top of the rudder a LOT more than you do. I would not let you go solo with those lazy feet!! And standard approach in Spitfire is curved to deal with the lack of vision over the cowl. Do NOT sideslip Spitfire or Hurricane with flaps down, the fuselage blanketing of airflow over the tailplane will cause the nose-down pitch of the flaps to exceed the nose-up pitch of the elevator and you will bunt the aeroplane nose-first into the ground!
I heard that IL-2 Sturmovik performs evren better in VR (but it has simpler graphics and less-complex controls).
How do you record so smooth 16:9 video in VR?
what are the specs on your PC?
Haha you set the altimeter to barometric pressure, that calibrates the altimeter to show the proper field elevation MSL, and it should read within 75 feet. If you set 0 you’re not seeing the proper readouts.
Did you land with the flaps up?
how many fps do you get?
I have a quest 3 which I am loving with DCS 2.9. I wonder if there any real major difference in getting the pimax crystal. Basically, is it worth the extra money? how much better is the image quality/experience?
if you're Ok with Quest then the price wont worth for the money, if you have a rtx4090 and you want the best visuals Vr can offer then yes go for Pimax, i have both Quest and Pimax, for me the difference is not much but when i use the quest i even regret of my pimax; but when i use pimax i understand why i have it :) , the colours, blacks, and resolution in pimax are superb, you can try the game optimizer and up the resolution of rendering in the quest 3 for even better visuals
Pimax build quality is terrible. You have something like a 1 in 5 chance of getting a broken headset or otherwise failed due to software.
How do you get the hands to show
Really nice recording of VR! Usually it´s stuttering and is distorded... How did you manage do accompliched that
oh ja!
How do you turn on arms?
what controller do you use?
What's with the red dot?
Lekker hollands plat
Remember: Stick for speed. Throttle for height.
Would be nice to see the landing from outside…
Sorry but I did not noticed. What is your PC equiped with? CPU, GPU, MB, and RAM?
here you go!
PC SPECS:
Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Gaming 12GB
intel Core i9-9900K
RAM: 64GB (2x32)
Headset: Pimax Crystal
Lenses: www.vr-wave.store/
What do you mean max settings? I have a pimax and a 64gb ram and a 4090, I can’t run it in a f18 at max settings. Should probably show settings at beginning of video and have fps counter on
Max FPS. With nothing pushing the gpu hard. Amazing. Try something that has some detail in it. My Atari could render your spitfire perfectly fine. Really, try something with detail. Like a jungle.
Doubt you read these anymore but maybe someone can tell me. Is this just the VR headset and hand controllers? Or is this going thru a home computer? If hand sets that one with VR headset how did you not move your hands on the screen to switch everything on and prime fuel, etc? Is there a manual that comes with the headset game or computer game. How to buy something like that? What all I need? How do you operate the rudder pedals do you hv a set hooked up, I woukd like to have actual rudder pedals and like real flying but I’m computer stupid in 63 and computers scare me I only hv iPhone
Hi Steve, Thank you! And I do read the comments sometimes!
It is great to see your enthousiasm.
I am playing this with the Meta Quest 3 Headset. I link the Headset to a computer so I can play the game 'DCS - Digital Combat simulator - through my headset. Do know that you need a very strong computer to play DCS in VR.
Besides connecting the VR headset to my computer i do have a HOTAS - Joystick. During the time of recording i did not have rudder pedals. I did everything with the hotas. I use the mouse to click on the buttons in the cockpit.
Let me know if you need any help. You can always e-mail me at info@lauboxvr.com
Thanks so much, I am fixing to buy a computer but was thinking a laptop. Laptops aren’t powerful enough are they. What memory do I need 16mb or 32mb and I don’t know what the power part of a computer is called lol. I been ratholing money I hv enough to buy a really nice set of feet controls & joystick and thrusters for other games when needed like jets. I will research computers and strength memory etc. as well headsets I guess that o e you have is one of the nicest I can’t go 1,000 for headset, but we’ll see gonna take me a while to get it all I’m guessing especially by myself oh what horror! I would really like to have a game or individual planes like Coursair F-4u, P-40, Mustang, good in depth B-17 game, also gonna need a basic idiot program to teach me to be better flyer. What woukd really be cool is to have the actual cockpit to o e of those places in my shop and all set up on a high speed pressure actuators and that would do everything but a loop abs some company is coming out with a 360 degree moving rotating cockpit or chair you climb into strap in. And suppose to be nearly 360 degree look around screen all way around you. Made especially for aircraft gaming but bet it’s gonna cost thousands thanks too old to get that far into it
Stuff Tom Cruise
Wow, you got a Crystal that actually works.
Hi, which map is this?
What do you think about the comfort of the Crystal?
I spend too much time in commercial airliners. It's MPH instead of Knots ofcourse!
Are there settings to make the game's head smooth(not shakey), like in the video. or does the MQ3 have that right out the box?
If yes i'm buying it to finally have DCS head tracking with full emersion!
@@StrangestOwlNL Hi strange! Awesome! What vr you going for? I try to keep my head steady for recording purposes. I basically act as a camera. No stabilization has been applied to this video.
@@laubox I'm going for the Meta Quest 3, since i've been waiting for a later VR headset release with good FOV and resolution. I guess i can tweak the settings if the view get's shakey, but i probably don't have to worry about that. More videos with different aircraft (Like the f14, which i fly) Would be fun to see with the use of the Meta Quest 3. 👍
Looks great! I struggle to get good graphics in VR. Do you have a video with all your graphics settings?
Ive spent a lot of money on ''Virpil sticks/bases and control panels/Stream Deck/Tablets/Monitors''.............how do i use those if i downgrade to VR?
You don't
@@sarcasmisbliss8803What you touch is important, the rest is VR. I went with Authentikit Spitfire controls and VR. Perfect.
Tell me your ways PC jesus, I have a 13900k and a 4090 with 64gig of ddr 5 running 7200mhz. My PC would burn itself up and lag out at max settings in vr lol.
Braucht man dazu eine extra Version des Programms? Oder einfach nur Haupt und DLC.? Bitte mal um Hilfe. Würde gerne die, F18 Hornet fliegen. Gruss Tom
3:18 I’m the exact opposite. I hate all the switchology minutiae. I just want to fly and have everything on and and work so I can screw around, dog fight, cloud surf or fly obscenely low level over peoples homes and iconic places.
haha yeah! I have to say tho, i cheat with the auto start at times as i also just want to get up in the air and fight or enjoy just the flying!
red dots are where i need to look, right?)
uhm, yeah, kind of expirementing with it! Next time i m gonna just encircle the things! haha
Sound of the engine4s? All we can hear is you
Your mic audio is louder than it zhould be
If you do not use a FFB Stick for the WWII Models in DCS, you miss at minimum half of the simulation! 😁And it also looked, as if you had some settings not on full sim and the setting under special "take off assist" and "autorudder" needs both to be set to 0 / off! With everything set to sim, it is even a lot harder to fly the WWII birds... but i like it as realistic as possible! 😁
Where do you buy ffb sticks. I can only find one company that makes them...
@@BH-ro4ly The Problem is, there are only older ones, expensive ones or self build kits. I just bought an old nearly not used but "used" Logitech G940 System, so you still can have look and find a working old one. I had the luck to get it for 100 Euros. Another Option is the old Microsoft Sidewinder 2 Force Feedback, which is only a stick and you can find it for under 60 sometimes. I would have to look for the names of the new systems, but there are only a few and I havent tried them. There are also different DIY concepts, which you can build from the base or where you can order all ready spare parts or the finished System. I might search it at the weekend, when I am at my home-PC again!
well, no rearview mirror look :(
What equipment do you need to run this?
A relatively new PC with at least a 70 class card.. (3070, 4070, etc.) with an 80 class preferred. I run a 3080 but if I had to it to do over I'd go with a 4080 for DLSS 3 support (they weren't out yet when I did my build). Then you'll need a Quest 2 or Quest 3 or similar HMD. If you know what you have currently I can tell you what you'll need to upgrade to, or add on, etc.
