    I already know this stuff. I can confidently say I’m proficient in Vtol VR.
    That being said, I watch your videos as they’re presented to me, and I don’t skip.
    That has to speak for the their quality.
    Seriously, keep up the good work and recognition will come.

      Hi all, fairly new to VTOL VR using oculus 2 ‘ I have a problem during the tutorials, basic weapons scenario: set it all up ok, but I am unable to cycle through the different weapons using the red button on the joystick ? It almost seems as if my virtual thumb doesn’t reach it ?
      The thumb controller works when I’m moving the targeting pod around but not when I’m cycling through the weapons?
      I have the weapons master armed on and cover up,and all the MDS screens on , the only way to change them is to disable them in the weapons screen and just have one weapon selected ?
      Help please

    When you're moving the NAV screen ~3:30 is that default movement when it's SOI? I can't get this function with my index controllers, super jealous after seeing that.

    How did you enable the SOI speed switching control on the thumbstick?
    Also had no idea that the GPS list would automatically scroll through the list of targets if you hold the trigger when firing!
    Quick tip I've figured out about the voice comms not working; always make sure that VTOL VR is Fullscreen on your monitor. VTOL uses windows speech recognition for the comm system and if you're not fullscreen in VTOL, WSR doesn't know which program to translate your speech to.

    • @TheFerretsWheels
      @TheFerretsWheels  Před 2 lety +1

      You have to set the bombs to auto in the equipment screen to scroll through the target list, but it’s definitely a useful tip. The SOI switching was always on the speed control thumb stick for me.
      Thanks for the tip with the voice commands. I’m sure that’s going to help a lot of people out

    nice video and all but why did u use the gbu 12's like that? it looked like u were using the flight path marker as a ccip pipper. u can just drop em like the gbu 38's and activate your laser. (mark turned on on your left mfcd)

    • @TheFerretsWheels
      @TheFerretsWheels  Před 10 měsíci

      Mark doesn’t affect the laser, it’s just an infra red beam that you can see through night vision to “mark” a target for your wingmen visually. By flying over the target it increases accuracy as the bomb has to make fewer adjustments. Not sure if it’s programmed like that in VTOL but it how I learned in DCS

      @@Mischtory ​​⁠ kind of. Both the 12’s and the 38’s have the two circle pipper so the closer the drop marker is to the centre of the circles the better the chance of hit, but LGBs are usually meant for moving targets and GPS bombs for stationary. If you drop an LGB too far off a moving target it can lose momentum through constant readjustment and fall short even though it was within the pipper circles
