orcrist Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) HI folks. I was an avid flight simmer in my youth, but as with many of us, family and life got in the way and I had a long time away from flight sim until lockdown last year gave me time to kill and kickstart an old love. As such, I found myself getting into DCS last summer in a big way. At the same time, i was also looking for a new business venture, and I decided to dive into offering a simulation experience commercially. Last month, we obtained a commercial licence from ED to operate two DCS installs commercially, at our premises near Cambridge in the UK. We have two motion simulators running DCS and a race car sim (Assetto Corsa, if you're interested), that work off a 4DOF motion simulator, coupled with either 43" screens or, more importantly for immersion, VR. I'm not blowing our own trumpet, but we think it's pretty amazing. The sims can be linked, so a pilot in the Huey gives motion to a gunner in the Huey, for example. We have been open for business in the UK since 12 April, and I'd like to showcase some of our videos here on the site (if this is not allowed, please remove/delete the thread or move it where it's OK - thanks!). We have most DCS modules available to fly including F18, F16, F15, F14, AV8B, Christen Eagle, Yak52, Huey, Gazelle, Spitfire - and terrains including Syria, NTTR, Persian Gulf and Normandy. Operated with a combination of Virpil pedals, Thrustmaster Warthogs and Virpil Warbird bases, along with SimShaker simseats and the latest HP Reverb G2 headsets, if you want to try DCS with full motion simulation please do pay us a visit!! Some videos below, also check out our YT channel as I am adding more every week. Website: https://www.vr-sim.co.uk Comments welcome. Edited April 28, 2021 by orcrist 1
Browny Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 Hi I volunteer at an aircraft museum in Australia and we're looking to set-up a flight sim using DCS and VR the same as you've done. Can you tell me what the process is for obtaining a DCS Commercial Licence. Cheers
