This channel focuses on combat flight simulators like DCS World and IL-2 Great Battles. If you play either of these games or flight simulators like Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and enjoy aviation and dogfighting then this channel is for you. Even if you are coming from War Thunder and BF2042, you can learn to fly these combat flight simulators.
I play using TrackIR5 and do not use VR, this means that I am able to capture footage for tutorials, how-to-guides and other multiplayer tips and tricks video in 1440p.
Eagle Dynamics has made it easier than ever to learn DCS because the game is technically free. The game has the F-15, F-16, Su-27, Mig-29, Mig-21, Mig-19, Mig-15, F-86 Sabre, Jf-17, Mirage 2000, F-18 Hornet and F-14 Tomcat. There are soon other modules coming such as the Mig-23 and F-4. Lastly, there are helicopters like the Mi-24 Hind and AH-64 Apache.
The same is also true for IL-2 Great Battles. With Battle of Stalingrad, Battle of Kuban, Battle of Bodenplatte, Battle of Moscow and Battle of Normandy being released, there is an immense amount of variety covered. The Bf-109, Fw-190, P-51, Tempest, P-47, Mc.202, Stuka, Ju-88, He-111, and so on are all in the game. I focus on making videos to make that part accessible so you can dive into IL-2 Multiplayer. - Hry
Nuclear Option is a fun game that is already good and it's very early in early access. I think the team has their head in the right place and I am keeping a close eye on this game. Check it out here: store.steampowered.com/app/2168680/Nuclear_Option/
Can you also check this game called Gunship DEX
@@muhammadsaleh7229 It's on my list to check out but just short on time but it's on there
I'm just waiting for the TrackIR support for me to break my rule of 'no early access' again.
@@Agilaz89 fyi it has track ir support now. I checked back up on it a few days ago and bought it, best $18 I've spent in a very long time
It's always really encouraging to hear a developer say "I'm making the game that I always wanted to play"
Much preferred to the AAA studios' outlook of, "I want to pander to as many people as possible"
Really been loving this game recently. It feels like such a satisfying middle ground between arcade and sim, and being able to do a large scale war in PVE/Solo is such a selling point. Haven’t played a ton of multiplayer yet.
The irony of a game that dosent have photorealistic graphics, or a plethora of points earning and spending on skills mechanics.
I can just pick it up, and get into the meat of the game, and its the most fun ive had in years.
Hey the dev is an Aussie! Im actually in the process of joining RAAF intelligence. I use games like Nuclear Option to build my interest in aerial warfare, as up until recently I barely knew anything about it.
I just need VR in this game, really want to see the nuke in scale there.
yes VR would be such an awesome addition
VR is planned, but not coming for a while yet!
All I want is a modern version of Strike Commander. Give us the flight model of Nuclear Option, with the management aspects of Mechwarrior 5 and a zaney single player story
strike commander with ue5 graphics, i'd buy that so fast!
I played F-19 Stealth Fighter amd F-15 Strike Eagle, both by Microprose, as a kid. Loved them.
Nuclear Option is such a good game it is an awesome thing you have chosen to highlight it on this channel. Keep up the great work Enigma!!!
thx
I got Nuclear Option a little while ago on your recommendation. It's quite fun, and reminds me of F-22 Raptor and old Novalogic games. I haven't gotten too deep into it yet but it's already quite fun and easy to get into.
This is an amazing game!! I've even attempted to create some silly / different style content for this game, as it just deserves the attention!
Nuclear Option is something awesome. B25 is an absolute chad :)
I love this game! It's something i've been looking for a while! The only thing i miss at the moment is a tutorial for the mission editor, as i have not enough free time to figure it all out myself.
Great video btw! Really interesting interview!
Awesome game, awesome developer and awesome interview! Been following the project closely since the open playtest!
Your channel is right up my alley!
You just got a new sub friend!
Keep up the great work!
That tank column smashing through that plane on the road was so cool looking
Very good stuff. My background is similar (Artist of many years, vehicle physics simulation of almost as many) but his project is even more ambitious than mine. If he could overcome the hurdles of learning to program and wrapped his head around all these system interactions, I can do it for the fraction of abundance of systems and complexity of art that I'm aiming for.
Our philosophies are extremely similar and I can tell his is not borne from defeatism or inexperience but a relatively high level of insight into model tuning and systems implementation.
I love this game just wish it supported Track IR
Just FYI I have a working solution for it posted on the Nuclear Option discord, it's pinned to the general channel.
it officially does now!
@@vincentvoncarnap2473 tried the track IR recently, It works great!!!
i absolutely love this game, ive been playing this since the early access tester and i havnt been able to drop it since
All hail the giver of nukes Big Daddy Mitch
Speaking of modding, I would love to see B-52 or Tu-95 modeed in, really lean into the eternal heavy bombers meme
This game reminds me of defcon for some reason. With the nukes. But being a actual unit. I would love to walk around. And enter a nuclear bunker/radar station something like that game signal simulator. Love it so far already.
my friends and I would love to see an a-10 warthog like plane :) I was millitary, but I only got to fly in the back of the c-130 :( but i've been enjoying this game with my virple hosam set-up
I cannot wait until this is released that's all I can say❤❤
I think I saw u in a pub game yesterday, was very cool
Wasn't me yesterday
the EW aircraft will be good for blinding radar allowing chicanes to sneak by without notice.
Been enjoying this one quite a lot myself. If you play under Enigma I've shared a few lobbies with you over the last month or so. Yup just checked the vid!
I love the game!
Thanks for the interview. I would have liked to have some information on the arrival of Track Ir, as this is a missing feature. My friends don't play the game because of it. They prefer to wait until it's implemented.
I can't wait for the dedicated server to be implemented, because I share your vision and would like to have a server that runs 24 hours a day.
I actually had this on my list but forgot to ask, hopefully mitch lets us know in a comment in here
@@Enigma89 thank you Enigma. I hope Mitch give us an answer.
Hey @@S33Phoenix, we are hoping to incorporate TrackIR in the next major update, 0.27. It has been a common request and will hopefully be fairly straightforward to implement!
@@ShockfrontStudios-xr1wb Thank you, it's a very good news. Do you have an ETA for the release of the v0.27 ?
From the settings menu it looks like Unity game, there is several games that already have head-tracking on this engine. Could it be possible to just trick it to work by porting some files from other game ? In these regards ubiquitousness of this engine pretty much guarantees what can be done in one game should be reproducible in the other.
House of dying sun, frontier pilot sim, Flight of nova. From top of my mind that are unity and have the head tracking.
Lovely game
Question, with the SA map getting more and more better, will you consider making an ECW mission for the SA map in DCS? Thanks! I really feel like it's a massive missed opportunity for a cold war campaign!
this game is a lot like Armourgeddon, if anyone played that on Amiga/ST
Very sleek and comfortable fighter sim. If people looked at coding in game development, they would look at reviews and hope developers try not getting discouraged from what's been a default from making purchases to try some of these games.
You mentioned being entralled by the EW present in this game - have you taken a look how VTOL VR does it now? If so can you share your impressions of that?
I don't have VR so I can't play VTOL VR
This looks great, does it have eye tracker support?
now it does
@@vincentvoncarnap2473 does it work with Tobii?
I would love to see playable ground vehicles in the game image ur in a intense tank battle and them a fucking nuke just wipes out the entire enemy convoy in front of you
you may have heard but this has been suggested and denied lots of times in the discord
Wow.
Does it support vr?
Not Yet but it will
Any dates 😅
babe wake up new enigma video just dropped!
WHO IS BABE?!
I love DCS. Have been playing for years.
Wild to see this looking better in a lot of respects.
I find ED's focus on "realism" holds it back so much.
Like the EW... Who cares if it's hyper realistic? Put it in the friggin game and guess.
Sooo much this…
DCS is either an eyesore or a slideshow on most computers…
Unfortunately this absolute addiction on clickability and realism also plagues the community. People will shit on FC3 modules because they're too "simple" to fly and dont require trillions of switches to fly. Both have place in DCS and not every plane can be modeled to perfection without breaking some laws but adding an fc3 style version would bring so much to the gameplay
@@linecraftman3907 it's like... do you want a FC3 style Mig23 or no Mig23 at all? I'll take a godd flight model Mig23 with a few clickable switches here and there over the mig23 we get to fly now (none)
@@rmack9226well I hope you know razbam is working on a mig23 as we speak
@@rmack9226exactly. Imagine if we didn't have the flanker, fulcrum, frogfoot and default su-25t
I do like it, but they really need to make the targeting more intuitive. There isn't any option to simply cycle through detected targets. You have to physically move the pilot's head to look dead on at something and select it. In the heat of combat, this is not exactly intuitive. It feels like this was due to it being developed with mouse and keyboard in mind, instead of HOTAS-centric.
Combine a 'cycle through targets' command with a declutter/filtering command, so that you ONLY cycle through anti-air, tanks, planes, threats actively locking you up, etcetera, would make this a lot less micromanage-intensive and fun to fly. Lack of declutter is often annoying for accidentally targeting buildings when you don't have the appropriate weapons for them. This is really going to be a necessity if we're getting anti-radiation munitions.
If they get around that, it's far more accessible than 'DCS' (like, overwhelmingly so; I'm still trying to figure out which commands even need mapping for that). Could easily add in water/submersible and ground units to use, too. Proper combined arms thing.
ECM should be less cartoonish, too. It's depicted like a clock with a finite count-down. Why a time limitation?
'VTOL VR' would be almost perfect, but doesn't allow for HOTAS support (which would make it a DCS-killer product).
its meant to be casual and dev even says so himself. he loves the idea of controller "pick up & play" accessibility ... personally love I don't need HOTAS to have a DCS lite experience
@@adamgeigerjr6995 I'm definitely not wanting it to be like DCS. DCS isnt' the least bit intuitive or accessible for most people.
But I am asking it to be less intuitive and more functional. That isn't at odds with being intuitive or accessible. Like, why the countdown clock for electronic warfare? it doesn't make logical sense of there to be one. Likewise, target filtering would make our lives easier, not more complicated.
Notching a missile is on this point a game mechanic that everyone demands to work, despite Nuclear Option being a game in modern/future setting it is actually unrealisitc that notching works in that setting. Historically it actually worked only during 80-90s radar tech, it doesn't work today IRL. Granted it is a good mechanic for a game as a skill to work on, just that I feel like player base today demands it from all games with a childis argument of "it works in DCS so it has to be real".
UI says capture base > proceeds to nuke base
Love this game. Something like VTOL vr except with a dev who hates the players less.
omg i feel you so much😢
Played the demo but was a little to much on the arcade side for me. Wish it was a few more notches to sim with a more realistic FCR and targeting pod system. The insta lock on everything made it to gamey. Hope we get a little bit more depth when it comes to finding and targeting the enemy.
day/video 1 of asking for yak52 in ECW
I've been playing Ace Combat since the 90's, War Thunder for 9 years and recently got into DCS.
Nuclear Option has a great balance between realism and simplicity. I'm looking forward to see what B25Mitch comes up with in the near future.
From playing War Thunder for so long, one thing I would suggest is to implement Mouse Aim and 3rd person camera, that's the main advantage that War Thunder has over every other air combat game, and one of the main things driving it's accessibility. If your goal is to make the game accessible, especially on PC, Mouse Aim flight is a great feature to have.
My instict is' "eew, mouse flying." But I guess more people would play it.
*HAHAHAHAAHAHAHA.........So UNREALISTIC. So BAD! Didn't even TRY!*
wtf is wrong with you?
not the point of the game
