As always, really good video Jabbers.

Looking forward to more :thumbup:.

 

Yes it all looks fantastic, sounds great and all, but what really made me raise an eyebrow this time around, was the ability to work the Jester wheel with TIR. Now the million dollar question: Does that apply for VR too?

- Jack of many DCS modules, master of none.

- Personal wishlist: F-15A, F-4S Phantom II, JAS 39A Gripen, SAAB 35 Draken, F-104 Starfighter, Panavia Tornado IDS.

It does, and with them adding the very specific Jester bindings you could ultimately do some really cool Voice Attack support as well.

Awesome video! I do not have rudder pedals, nor do I have space for them below the desk (it is currently being occupied by my sons racing gear). So do you think the tomcat will by flyable using a twist stick, or do I need to have a talk with my son? :D

Let's put it this way, I've seen people play DCS world competitively with a mouse and keyboard. Is it possible 100%. Would I do it, no, but thats me. I think you can do it just fine if you really wanted to.

Very good video ! Thank you for bringing it to us :)

 

How is VR in the Tomcat (frame rate, readability,...) ? I don't think you talked about it in your video.

Also does the LANTIRN work atm and can Jester use it ?

 

Regards,

Rex.

 

I was going to cover VR in this video but it started getting to long so I cut it. Ill do a separate video on that, or just post something on twitter, I need to do some more work in VR, I stayed away quite a bit for this because I needed to record so much non-VR footage

 

As for LANTIRN, I believe it works, but cant show the RIO pit. I dont think Jester uses it yet, and the only way I would be able to show it is to repeat it in the pilot seat, but didnt have have the ability right now as it required a 2nd person and that person's time zone this week didnt match up.

Ok, thanks for the answer! I guess there is only one way to find out: :joystick:

Hi Jabbers

Great video I wounder if there is/will be a way to interact with Jester through Voice attack?

Also do you know if there will be a series of interactive training missions to familiarize pilots with the systems

I do have a bone to pick with you Jabbers!

 

You just got me to break my New Years resolution of..."No more DCS modules for 2019!!!" :doh:

 

Seriously though, an amazing looking aircraft and a really great introduction video, thanks! :thumbup:

I've repeated this so many times Im getting sick of myself. But I'll say it again:

 

Can't wait!

 

Great video, hopefully we'll get another one soon that looks at some of the systems in more detail. Especially the air to air part. The jet and the weapons look like they are fairly simple to use, but hard to master. I want to learn as much as I can before I get into the pit at last.

Distracted by your image in a mirror.... just like a real fighter pilot. Nice video, very informative.

Truly superior pilots are those that use their superior judgment to avoid those situations where they might have to use their superior skills.

 

If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

@Jabbers_

 

I can't get over the fact that the shaking effect seems to be a bit overdone. I realize that a simulation can't convey real physical effects properly, and that sometimes graphical/sound effects are being used to try to capture that feeling. When you flew the F-14 did it feel "real"?

 

On another note, yes the mirrors look very cool. And I realize that when you return to the boat you have to make sure your hair still looks good. Some (not as as vain pilots) might even use the mirrors for looking behind the jet iso for personal admiration. Can they be adjusted for those who wish to use them to look behind?
