▶ Okay.. This Update is AMAZING! - Hry
This has to be the coolest free update for a game in years. That intro RULES.
Dude, all the flight simulator free DLC is awesome! Top Gun, Red Bull, and now Dune.
Yea I really can’t think of a better free-lc
Nms is close behind but yeah that shit is epic
Microsoft? Free?
Yes@@Special_Agent_Frank_Horrigan

Such a unique vehicle, too. It isn't just "another plane" or "helicopter" or "glider."
It can operate as all three and a quasi-rocket. 😂 Its so much fun to chuck around the place and canyon race in.
While also looking like a Dragonfly
The wings of the Arrakeen ornithopter aren't powered by motors, they're actually powered by desert "oyster" muscles. They're removed from the shells and implanted into the thopter's mechanics. Then there's an electrical charge passed through the oyster muscle to make it "open" and "close" very fast. Which in turn causes the wing mechanisms to oscillate incredibly quickly.
The shield wall not only protects from sand storms and sandworms but it also protects from Atomics (nuclear weapons), it resonates at the same frequency/wavelength as the atomic weapon produces, thus negating the effects of the blast.
You're correct on thinking machines/AI's being outlawed. It's why the Ixian Confederacy is much maligned as far as the Butlerian Jihad goes that all the major houses comply with. This is why they have house Mentats, they're effectively human supercomputers that operate complex planning strategies for them. The Harkonnens have Pieter De Vries (a "twisted Mentat" who isn't bound by the same ethical restrictions that regular Mentats are), the Atreides have Thufir Hawat.
They're instantly recognisable by their red stained lips. The red staining is caused by Sapho juice, an elixir taken by all Mentats to greatly enhance and boost their thinking capabilities. Thufir Hawat was so powerful a Mentat that even the Padishah Emperor Shadam Corrino IV greatly feared his capabilities.? Most Mentats are regular "humans" who have natural innate ability and undergo training within the Order of Mentats that was first formed by Gilbertus Albans.
However, Mentats could be artificially created by cloning humans in Axolotl tanks. The Bene Tleilax did so with Duncan Idaho, Paul Atreides' swordmaster after he was killed in a battle on Arrakis.
"Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind"
But you CAN create a human mind in the likeness of a machine. These creations are called Gholas. This was done to try and subvert Paul Atreides by showing him they could create an exact equivalent of his dead wife Chani, but only if he abdicated his throne.
Later on in God Emperor of Dune, Idaho reappeared as a series of gholas when Duke Leto II (Now God Emperor of the known Universe) ruled as a human-sandworm hybrid for 3,508 years. After the death of every ghola, Leto would have him replaced with a new one. To Leto, Idaho represented loyalty, humanity and the spirit of the unknown, something which the God-Emperor, having perfect prescience and memories of all his ancestors, knew nothing of. Having all the memories of Leto I and Paul Atreides, these kept bringing Idaho back as the feelings between all of them for Idaho resonated on a sub-conscious level he couldn't quite understand but acquiesce to every time Idaho was killed.
And, eventually, [if one allows herbert's son's collaborations to become canon] an Idaho ghola finally becomes the sisterhood's goal: the kwisatz haderach. I'd hoped it was gonna be Bashar Teg, but oh well.
@@kevinbarnard3502 I still don't know if I'm decided on subsequent books by Brian and collaborators to be canon for me yet.? Frank's books had this essence to them that sometimes I feel haven't been captured in later publications.?
😂 Do you have an undergraduate degree in Dune lore? Honestly awesome you know that much about Dune
they are really good books. While Clarke is my favorite sci fi author, Herbert is a close second before Heinlein and Brin. As incredible as the first movie was and part 2 looks like it's going to be, they're pathetic and just meh compared to the books. To me, that is how good Herbert was as a writer.
@@kevinbarnard3502 tbh with a universe as rich as Herbert's Duniverse, you're never going to scratch the myriad of layers deep enough in a film. Yes, they were cinematically brilliant, but not as cinematically brilliant as your own imagination.?
If you haven't already got it, and you can find it, I'd highly urge you to find the Dune encyclopedia.? It's out of print I think, however it is definitely worth the detective work. It contains ALL of F. Herberts research and drawings for the novels. It covers everything from the Fremen to Hunter Seeker workings, Bene Gesserit hierarchies, House genealogies, Sardaukar uniforms and medals, Sandworm life cycles, Face dancers, Fish Speakers, LANDSRAAD structuring, windtrap mechanics, the water ceremony for returning your water to the Sietch reserves, what the Butlerian Jihad is, Weirding modules etc. It's frigging epic.!
This level of richness imo is extremely akin to Tolkien when it came to creating a world from lore. That's why those books are simply brilliant and so immersive.
A similar sci-fi writer for me is Ian Banks (RIP). His culture novels are fantastic, again, I'd highly urge you read them if you haven't already.
Tolkien, Banks and Herbert to me inspire that sense of "Fernweh" or "Farsickness" (German) - it's not homesickness, homesickness is a yearning for something you already know, love and live. Fernweh, or farsickness, is also a suffering, but is less clear cut and rectifiable. It is a consuming longing to be somewhere you’ve never been; an aching to be in a distant and unknown land, an ambiguous yearning for anything, anywhere else, as anyone else. The Welsh call it "Hiraeth", it's also known as "Saudade" (a deep emotional state of nostalgic or profound melancholic longing for an absent something or someone that one loves).
can never anticipate what you're going to upload Tomo 😂 Had no idea you were into flight sims Edit: Bro even has the HOTAS Warthog setup 😮💨
Yeah seeing his setup at 4:10 was an unexpected revelation
Jesus loves you. He is your savior. Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand!耶穌愛你，請相信衪。天國近了，你們應當悔改。❤❤❤
You really did outdid yourself with that intro. It's like a short film. I've played this update, I know. Super tough, but fun. Mad skill.
Thank you sir 🫡
That THUMP in first person when you toggle to wings.... Goosebumps
This look so damn good, and fun. As someone who played all kinds of flight sims in the late 90's and 00's I'm so stocked that flight sims seem to be making a comeback.
Same
That intro gave me goosebumps ...this looks so good!!
Ok that barrel roll through the canyon pass was insanely cool 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Edit: also yes, you do deserve cool points for your flying 😎
Thanks 😂
Vibes on this are great. Good work Tom that looked tough.
17:29 You are thinking of ground effect which affects lift more than speed. The higher you go the less dense the air thus the faster you go relative to ground speed.
YES! That's exactly what I was struggling to put words to explaining. Thanks! 😂
I'm not a lawyer or pilot but am a flight sim geek and drone pilot after all. ;) @@Tomographic
@Tomographic
One word - Ekranoplan.
This Lun class GEV (Ground Effect Vehicle) was a failed Russian experiment that worked on the ground effect principle. It not only works over land, but also water. The thing was fracking MASSIVE. It was intended to serve as a large military transport and heavy duty warship, to deliver large amounts of troops, supplies and military hardware under the radar capabilities of foreign countries.
The only problem was that it had NO altitude capability. If it got up to any decent height, the ground effect stopped working - causing it to crash due to it's bulk and the laws of aerodynamics. They also forgot to factor in hazard avoidance, like trees, buildings, mountains etc? You know, all those things that regular aircraft could fly over very easily.?
It's now left to rot somewhere on the shores of the Caspian sea in Daghestan.
The higher you go, the higher the ground speed for the same indicated air speed due to air density. Ground effect is basically sitting on your own air cushion in laymen’s terms.
CASPIAN SEA MONSTER MENTIONED ❤@@benballard-ho7tu
I just watched Dune part 1 for the first time ever yesterday and it was absolutely amazing. Should have watched it a long time ago and def ready for part 2. This video just makes it even better lol
Perfect content, this was sooo cool. Thanks Tomo!
As a huge Tomo fan and dune fan I have to say I was shocked by your dune knowledge!
Love the content Tomo. Last bit was intense!
slow is smooth, smooth is fast, great flying!! Thank you...
5:05 You made it look SO effortless!
I find deserts beautiful and Arrakis especially so. This was a real treat.
Wild, looks so good!
Anything Tomo does ends up EPIC!
Great video and perfect edits like always ❤
Wow this is weird. I watch Tomographic all the time and just literally watched Dune less than 3 days ago for the first time. Love your videos.
Dude that maneuveur at 5:10 was so stressful to watch hahaha nice one Tomo
Now that was pretty cool. Nice flying!
Best video in ages Tomo. More of this please
🔥 thanks for always getting us amazing content🔥
Nicely done tomographic 👍Paul Atreides would be proud 👍
Thanks 😂
Love this video! Those helicopters are so cool
That was absolutely awesome to watch!
No idea how this showed up in my feed, but it's gorgeous. Great video!
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it
This was an awesome watch 🤙
I had no idea flight simulator could be so cool 🔥 love the video and would love to see more when Microsoft flight simulator 2024 comes out :)
I've theorized (and seen from the flying) that using the afterburner with the rotors set to glide lets you obtain a higher top speed. It seems that drag is exponentially higher when you go faster that the speed that the engine wans to to push the orthnicopter.
you top out around 547 using the wings for power but have made upwards of 570 on a burning glide.
Holy shit, that was fuckin’ INTENSE!
Well done, really glad you posted this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
A massively well made freebie ... well done completing it, I haven't yet :D
That was outstanding
Just went to see Dune part 2, watched part 1 earlier today so I’m all Dune today.
Watching this vid tops it off.
Very interesting simulation.
Do more ornithopter variants become available later on?
Ground effect happens for both helicopters and planes. You can even see birds do it. Especially over water. Basically, the air under the wing has nowhere to go so it becomes extra compressed than normal creating almost a cushion of air under the wing. It causes very efficient flight which is why you see birds take advantage of it so much.
I played two hours of Flight Simulator and found it the perfect cure for insomnia. But this looks intriguing.
Cool. Thanks for sharing.
This is insane and good on the devs and publisher for this awesome work lol!
Bro that was awesome
The sound is so cool too!
This video is BADASS!
BTW when you are flying the most important thing is to be lined up straight with your intended lading place long before, or indeed as soon as you are able. Make a beeline for it and then slow down and land. Don't swing wide or high on your way there. :) The ghost showed you up on this point only.
looks like a dragon fly, so cool
I'm not so sure if there's ANY material known by human that would withstand the oscillation those gigantic wings generate but hey, anything is possible in a game!
Not to mention this ornithopter is the coolest thing I've ever flown!
You can turn your rear towards the storm right before you land to pick-up pilot. Because you move so slow right before landing turning takes maybe 1 second but then when you go full hog you don't waste time on turning. Like this alone saves 5-6 seconds.
This is insane !!!!!! love it hope the mmo punches like this
That's some great editing for the video intro
This needs to be part of an open world Dune game, not just a flight sim.
This was fricking epic!
Never knew you liked flight games.. I like it
I'd love there to be a bit of a free roam option on Arrakis. And for the game not to end if you enter the sandstorm. I'd love to fly over the city a bit, or race friends in those tight canyons.
You Sir ARE a amazing Gamer!!!
Absolute legend 👏 👏👏
The intro was simply insane!
Yep, this gave me "Oblivion" movie vibe, actually looks good
The was Fantastic!
yoooo this looks sick
So sick!!
I cant wait for the DUNE MMO to release finally
I lowkey only knew you because of the verdansk song but your actual videos are amazing
Appreciate you checking out some other stuff. Glad you're enjoying the content!
You're awesome man that was great.
I have to get this game hopefully there's is something for the PS5 soon.
Just get a series x and play it if you can spend money on it
Gonna watch dune part two this evening🕺🕺
This is awesome!
What a great surprise
We need a game with this.
Unreal!
Just bought Flight Sim during the last steam sale. Still waiting to bite the bullet on a flight stick set up though. Wondering if you would recommend the HOTAS warthog. Anyway, thanks for sharing a nice look at this update!
Definitely recommend it. I bought the F18 flight stick replacement but the default Warthog stick is great too!
@@Tomographic I will look into the F18 stick, thank you. That last run of yours was insane btw, I'm never gonna be able to complete that.
Dude why the next one is coming this year
Cant wait for Dune Awakening
This makes me want to buy the game.
Downloading Flight Simulator to test fly a bunch of helicopters and planes after flying in squad. Moving onto more realistic sims. This download is taking a long while though. Day 2 out of god knows how long it will take, but I can’t wait to give this Ornithopter a try!
I would watch Tomo become an ace in DCS! More flight sim
wow that looks so good . needs to be made into a massive battlefield type game ..................please
Fantastic ending
this does look cool.
Damn, flying this with a VR headset would be insane, having some proper depth of field so you can judge approaches better
Microsoft Flight Sim really has ompressed me over the years
The likes must flow.
Super fun
I just watched DUNE last night and this pops up, im starting to think im being watched rn hahaha
I love how the game in description is labeled “Microsoft flight sim”
Edit: Oh wait-
Right it's wild
Are y’all seriously mad that they put in a sci fi aircraft? I’m mad that we keep getting five different models of the same aircraft. And they’re not even cool aircraft. They keep giving us dog water ass planes.
🤓🤓🤓 I need everything to be realistic 🤓🤓🤓
@@owenmahan2854 @He_that_has_eyes bruh I was just commenting on how different it looks I don’t care about realism. I genuinely thought flight sim was an error when I checked the description and came back to edit it
In VR, these missions are awesome
well done
We need a full game with worms and stuff!!!
Thank You! As a massive DUNE fan I am thinking about if it is worth getting MSFS just for this..?
Tommo we definitely need a hand cam the whole video!
Wings would shake your cockpit apart
The makes me really want a war thunder style game with a whole bunch of different fantasy vehicles like some kinda of war smash bros. Imagine riding one of these bad boys into battle along side a pelican and vertibird, on the ground a 40k tank and a fallen walker do battle. Cool shit
Microsoft need to advertise this more
Amazing
This would be amazing in vr
Some dune lore here, awesome! Won't say the J war word on youtube, when Sentient AI became a dude with excel functions,
Oh and more air density when close to ground, so the propeller are "moving" more air for each flap. Could be even better than a helicopter
I'm pretty sure the ornithopers in the old 1992 Amiga game "Dune" looked almost exactly like the new design... First thing I thought of when I saw the movie.
In ground effect you get more lift, not less air resistance. So, you don't fly faster near the ground, it's rather the opposite.
This vehicle should be come to other futuristic games like arma 3 😍😁
I didn't know this was a thing! UNREAL. I haven't watched Dune 2, but I'm a HUGE fan of the books (original Frank Herbert 6, not his son's) and Denis did a fantastic job with Dune Part 1.
Anyway, MS deserves to be punished (for many reasons), but I do want to try MS FS since it's on game pass, THIS is a great reason to do so. If the F/A-18 was free, another great reason, since DCS is so expensive
wish they added the Harkonnen Ornathopter and the two seater one that Paul and Jessica use after escaping the botanical research station.
