    You take the seemingly unnoticeable or ignorable aspects of this VR sim, and make them extremely interesting and amusing. I'm glad I found your channel.

      Oh thanks for saying 👌

    1 litre on touchdown, like a scene from a movie 😂

    Subtitles are available for those viewers that can't penetrate the accent 👍
    Note: It doesn't matter for this video, but VTOL VR doesn't appear to correctly model the increased fuel consumption in the transonic region (that bump around Mach 1 on the graph).

      oh super easy with OBS. Wait, do you mean multiple different instruments or just the S-Cam + Helmet cam? I'll get u on discord

      Also wondering the same thing.

      ​@@tf3confirmed100 He's using the in-game spectator camera function and cropping the two panels he needs in the video editing. VTOL VR allows you to record a spectator camera separately in its own video file, thus allowing to have two angles

    I wonder how much it would effect fuel economy to shut off one of the engines.

      OH damn, that is a good idea. I know for larger airliners it does improve the fuel range at low level to be flying on one engine. I shall check that - thanks for bringing it up

      Just ran some tests and it doesn't really make any difference to range or endurance. Any small benefit would be offset by the inconvenience of needing to hold the rudder input continuously anyway.
