Vtol is on another level, ive spent a fortune on DCS and love it, but VTOL is just so damn good

[ButCanItRun]

Yesterday i've spent almost half day playing Nuclear Option, the Escalation mission is really fun

Also add Falcon BMS to the list!

Awesome video as always dude

VTOL VR is great, I swear I'm addicted to livery making, cause I've made a grand total of like 21 liveries for the Mischief since it launched, and even released my own template for it. Feels good seeing others using it or parts of it, and the odd time someone in a public lobby is using one of my liveries. Saw someone using my cursed USCG livery and it put a grin on my face. Great video as always Viper

I would like to also absolutely recommend Freespace 1&2 through the Knossos Modding community. Absolute massive Mod Campaigns that include incredible voice acting, and insane graphic upgrades from the original releases. A new VR compatability mod just hit the community and many campaigns are adding support.

I am surprised about the severe lack of decent WWII flight sims. Like there isnt any modern games outside of say Combat Flight Sim 2 from 2000 that has decent WWII Pacific War missions. Like Battle of Coral Sea, Midway, Guadalcanal campaign, Philippine sea, Leyte Gulf, Saipan, Guam, Iwo Jima, Okinawa etc.

Nuclear option is so freaking fun dude

[Cheiff]

VTOL VR
DCS WORLD
FALCON BMS
are my top 3 !! Nuclear Option was great played EA and beta had a blast

[tacticalpitbull]

8:30 Man total nostalgia, you used the ace combat 3 music from missions briefing mission! You have my respect!!!

[Rozzco]

Spent a ton of money on DCS and it just keeps getting better but it's nice to see they have some competition.

[icarusgaming]

Thank you, I think Tiny Combat Arena is exactly the game I've been looking for

[Gunter_Severloh]

Cool! Might have to get one of these, dont forget to add IL-2 Sturmovik to your list the WW2 Flight simulator!

[DJTachanka]

great video, I wasn't aware of Nuclear Option's super cool looking damage models!
One thing I have gotta point out, is that VTOL VR is all made by a single developer, Baha. They also made the BDArmory weapons mod for Kerbal Space Program, which considering the amount of hours I poured into that mod is super cool to me.

Nuclear Option just went to v0.28, and now has 7 planes and aircraft carriers. The two new planes are an electronic warfare VTOL plane, and the other plane is a F-23 Black Widow style reworked to be a naval carrier plane. Interestingly, the carrier is a Russian/Chinese/Indian style with an angled deck with arrestor wires, but instead of catapults you roll off the end of a ski jump ramp on the bow.

You might want to check Gunship IV: Modern Air Combat Flight Simulator, although its being designed for the mobile market which is pretty shit, they have a promising project and a build.

[RyanWT]

Falcon BMS is an good alternative for DCS World with minus than 30gb and many variations of f16, if you dont like the graphics of it now you will like in the next update with the graphic engine change

[ChrisMcMahon-xied]

the first game (tiny combat arena) reminds me of A-10 Tank Killer from a graphics perspective

[mattm]

I think Elite Dangerous belongs on this list somewhere, as does star citizen. Yes SC is still in alpha or pre alpha, but if you just want to fly around in space in a "realistic" way, hard to beat SC. The game portion is taking forever to release.

[BlackFoxQ]

Project Wingman gotta be my fav Ace Combat'ish games. :>

Using railgun on a big boy flying ship thing while listening to most cheesy dialog know to humanity is the experience I would gladly pay twice for. C:

(Just wished game was less orange though. Kinda burned my eyes on first playthrough. xD)

[slyderace]

The lack of track IR is the reason I haven't bought project wingman yet😢

[baddrifter]

Man all these look so good. I wish so badly that I had a HOTAS setup. Flying in Arma 3 on M&K is fine but it just doesn't get me as immersed as I wish it would. I feel like a HOTAS is all but required for dedicated flight sim games
