Licensed pilot here, this game is the real deal. Its been making its rounds through the AOPA and we all love it. Been a big gateway drug to getting a bunch of the old timer retired vets into VR.
Honestly, this is an extremely simplified version of how modern combat aviation works. It's absolutely a ton of fun, and built for VR. But this is a lite-sim, DCS is where your helmet will catch on fire with the amount of buttons and knobs you have to worry about lol
@@BookmansBlues not really, the weapons systems are simple enough that anyone can learn them in under a few days, but complex enough that with practice, you can still find ways to improve your own skills, and gain an upper hand from other players/AI.
@@Bomkz There was a time when I would have agreed with you. Some of my friends would defiantly feel that way, but most people I encounter these days would do an about face and scoot if they felt the least bit intimidated by it. This is in part why Fast Travel still exists in games, when there can be more than enough content to keep people occupied between locations in games. They just can't be bothered by actual in-game immersion, it is always about min-Maxing their time in game. And I get it, a lot of people have families, needs need to be taken care of before parents can play, etc, time is fleeting, there are times when I feel the same way, as I work from home, I need to make sure everything work wise is in a good place before I can switch over to a game, let alone feel like I spent all my time trying to get from point A to point B, and run out of time before I can do anything. Though I still dislike Fast Travel.
Battlebit took the same approach on a battelfield clone and as of now its playerbase is larger than actual battlefield. Shitty graphics with S tier gameplay. I was kind of hoping that someone would take a similar approach with a star citizen clone that had crap graphics but achieves the same goal.. I wonder how that would turn out.
It's just awesome how well the controls work. Perfect for anyone with a headset who doesn't want to spend hundreds of dollars on HOTAS and rudder pedals yet.
@@adawg3032 I want Battlebit in VR so much. It would totally run on modern vr hardware, it literally runs at 200fps++ in 4K.. Personally I love the graphical style as well. It's just very clear and uncluttered.
VTOL is an incredible game. One of the most immersive despite having super mario 64 textures. Wasn't into planes that much but a friend got me to try VTOL out a few years ago and now it's one of my favorite games.
There's been too many times to count where I simply try to lean against the cockpit while shifting around, or come back from a break, and try to grab the controls with my bare hands as if that's what I've been doing this entire time. There's simply no beating that level of immersion.
ive recently started flying more in vtol. went from DCS to vtol so it didnt take long to get a hang of all the sensors and controlls. alltho i find vtol vr to be VERY simplified and fairly unrealistic in aerodynamic physics and such, for a game it is absolutely fantastic, it runs very smooth for a VR flight game and that being the reason i went from flying only in DCS to having some more frames and chill times in vtol :) nice collab, i watched both of you for a while now
3:30 Does DCS do that even? XD 11:56 Drewski pulling a Jester... **chef's kiss** 13:54 The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this by knowing where it isn't...
Put your yaw on stick control in settings, as someone who's played for quite a few hours freelance, and had formation pilots who play DCS tell me to turn this on to save me three digits on getting flight pedals: You'll thank me for changing it.
I play this constantly. I also make cinematics of this game. I've got a few VR title but this is the one I've got the most hours in (90 flight hours so far lol).
VTOL VR is sick as fuck but I normally just do singleplayer or coop tho because I get wrecked in pvp (I attribute this to a combination of skill issues and the types of people who play VTOL PVP on the reg being more serious)
He mentioned before if he wasn’t so successful on UA-cam he would have gone on to train and become a pilot I think he said for coast guard or something.
No, but he's a virtual fighter pilot in DCS, lol. DCS is extremely realistic, especially in VR. It has everything that IRL fighter pilots/jets do, except for the feeling of the Gs and the danger of dying, lmao.
I know VR is hard to run as is. But what would have sold me instantly is if there was trees and more graphic fidelity. If that’s not possible I understand. VR is super hard to develop for, i tried.
@@jedispartancoolman yeah dogfighting, but understanding operations and weapons employment to get you to “cruising altitude” to speak, the UA-cam videos will do the job
@@juliusceaser7242 sounds like it might be some other kind of issue like your CPU or maybe other issues. I see submitted results where a 3060 should get 116 fps with an i7-610, which is a 12 year old CPU. here are the requirements to run: Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system.

@@jamesb1018 I think they mean PSVR, the only issue with that is that there is only one dev working by himself on the game, BahamutoD (that one BDArmory guy), not only that, but the game relies heavily on Steam services for the multiplayer aspect, as well on Steam Workshop for both single player, and multiplayer campaigns/missions. Without workshop, the game only has the base tutorials and some freeflight maps.
Umm....think again. Like literally not even how the game would run 1080p30 max 💀 But how would you run the interface with a 🎮? It would have to be KBM compatible at least

Very true
Can you use regular flight sim controllers yet?
@@robertmantell1700No, that goes against the whole point of the game.
As a Long time VTOLVR player im happy it's getting more popular
@robertmantell1700 through a mod yes
Man, i wish mainstream military games went into this level of detail. Looks awesome! Very cool project by the developer here
It's a learning curve most players do not have patience for.

VTOL VR does something so few games can do. It is both simple and complex at the same time.

I love when you 2 colab! Def picked the best VR Pilot to train you!
The pilot co pilot game play in this game is amazing
Don't let the graphics fool you, this is the most immersive VR game I've played so far.
I really need to try this game. DCS is fun, but runs so badly.
I only have a 2060 and this game runs so smoothly!
and to think this is the worst VR will ever look. Imagine this game in 5-10 years

I did not expect to see a VTOLVR Levelcap video but here it is
This is my favourite combat flight sim. Has a bit of a learning curve but at least you don’t need to read 500 pages to turn on the radar like in DCS.
Isn't this DCS?
@@yous2244 Not at all.
I"m Glad You are Finally getting into VR!!! The VR Community Needs big youtubers like you!!!!!
Man imagine if Battlefield had this level of detail, also a Star Wars set would be sick to play with this
Not the collab we expected but the one we needed!
Using VR to give each other the bird seems like time well spent in training! 😀
I love the way drewski is just becoming the go to vtol vr trainer
Been playing this for years. Glad to see it getting some love
Men, i miss the BF3 Jet Mission in the Singleplayer and i miss the Jet Gameplay from BF3 in other BF Games.
BF3 Jet Gameplay are today the best.❤
I started playing this with my quest 3 when it launched. Definitely one of the best VR games out there
Love VTOL VR, great to see you play it :)
reminds me of the bf3 jet mission
My friend made me get this to learn basic SAM evasion for DCS and we’ll it helped ALOT
I remember watching your channel for Battlefield years ago, and then getting into flight sims afterwards. Great to see you join :p play DCS sometime!
The VTOLVR Dev is the same Guy who made the BDArmory Mod in Kerbal Space Program
This was a great one. Hope to see you play this again in the future!
3:30 Does DCS do that even? XD
11:56 Drewski pulling a Jester... **chef's kiss**
13:54 The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this by knowing where it isn't...

Pretty sure that's the default in VTOL VR.
I was teaching my friend in the T-55 yesterday and did the exact same thing Drewski did at 12:00 lol
Yes! My favorite VR game is getting some love!!
I play this constantly. I also make cinematics of this game. I've got a few VR title but this is the one I've got the most hours in (90 flight hours so far lol).
“Nerd…”
“Nerd? How many legos do you got in your house right now?!?”
🤣😂🤣
I love VTOL VR, one of my favs
12:00 and that is how the US lost a F-35 🤣
VTOL VR is sick as fuck but I normally just do singleplayer or coop tho because I get wrecked in pvp
(I attribute this to a combination of skill issues and the types of people who play VTOL PVP on the reg being more serious)
Bought this game like two years ago and coming back to it would recommend it 10/10 to anyone who
Try Star Citizen in VR, all I'll say. o7
How are you playing Star Citizen in VR, that would be amazing
He was probably confusing Stealth with the Clint Eastwood film FireFox.
One of the best VR titles out there
This man has seen Firefox, but not Stealth
would love to see more of these vidoes
awesome video, drewski is cool, good stuff ty lvl
Easily best VR Flight combat Sim
The "Lookv over there" feature is needed in Star Citizen desperately :D
Love this game, works sooo good. Perfect balance, not too simmy like DCS not too Arcady.
VTOL VR is loved by all who try it.
@levelcapgaming 1 question, what VR headset are you rocking??
This video confirms that Drewski has no idea about the head track heat seeker function xD
Oh hey that first VTOL takeoff of yours is how mine went...
What VR headset did you get?
Love VTOL VR. Absolutely gem of a sim. If anybody would like to CWO or pilot a mission with me, please let me know!
Last time I tried the tutorial in this game I was able to Take off and “Land Safely” so I think I’m basically a qualified pilot at this point
COOL! Could you please share a link to get that first mission?
If DCS is like iRacing then VTOL VR is like Forza. It clearly has its roots in realism, but it's still pretty friendly to pick up and play.
Forza is more of ace combat. I'd say that VTOL is closest to gran turismo or assetto corsa
Man... imagine Star Citizen in VR, fully supported...
whats your new vr headset?
This is insane. Is operater drewski a fighter pilot irl?
He mentioned before if he wasn’t so successful on UA-cam he would have gone on to train and become a pilot I think he said for coast guard or something.
He is playing DCS... so yes
A fighter pilot with hundreds of hours of virtual training but no real flight time.
So a DCS player lol.
No, but he's a virtual fighter pilot in DCS, lol. DCS is extremely realistic, especially in VR. It has everything that IRL fighter pilots/jets do, except for the feeling of the Gs and the danger of dying, lmao.
That was sick!
that was better than the top gun movie
Oh shit...here we go.
I played that game before, it's so fun
Level, you now have to introduce and train Drew in Star Citizen.
All of modern technology has evolved for gamers to be able to say "That guy over there"
I know VR is hard to run as is. But what would have sold me instantly is if there was trees and more graphic fidelity. If that’s not possible I understand. VR is super hard to develop for, i tried.
All i wich is for the devs to add clouds !!
What vr headset did you get
Drewski is turning into everyones flight instructor
Play DCS PLEASE
im dacning around it. The 500 page manuals scare me tho..
@@LevelCapGaming actually UA-cam videos do the job faster, it’s all you really need
@shinbetE the UA-cam videos just get you flying. Dogfighting takes a good bit to get going
@@jedispartancoolman yeah dogfighting, but understanding operations and weapons employment to get you to “cruising altitude” to speak, the UA-cam videos will do the job
@@LevelCapGamingcheckout IL2 first. WW2 dogfights in vr are awesome.
God I wish I had a PC powerful to play games like this. Looks awesome
*cries in xbox*
This game in particular is not too demanding. Probably anything above a GTX 1080 would play it well. Of course you need a VR headset too.
@@lesterlauritzenI have a 3050 and The game cannot run too intesnly, Its kinda weird, since I can run everything else very well
@@juliusceaser7242 The GTX 1080 is quite a bit faster than a RTX 3050, at least in rasterization performance.

now do it in DCS CHAD

FUCK YA IM BUYING THIS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hoping you can play it with the Quest 2.
ok this is cool
Let us know next time you play VTOLVR, so we can join!
Need yhis type of stuff to come to ps5
N1!
best. game. ever... excluding sc :)

You loose a lot of this game brings without vr
