I was watching pre DCS days….. Its incredible what you've set up in the last 18 months or so. If you were told the day after leaving the RAF that you'd be training a global community of flight sim 'gamers', what would have been your response?
I ran VR (Quest 2) on a 980 4GB. Worked well on a slightly lowered resolution on the HMD but still more than enough to do everything. Occasionally struggled with pod work due to lowered resolution but I bought HMD zoom and that solved the issues.
Don't sit on the fence on this. The material is brilliant and you should absolutely get yourself involved!
Managed to get a 3080 and it runs the Rift s with settings higher than I actually need rock solid, first time equipment has surpassed expectations.
Reminds me of the film Sliver parodied in the simpsons episode Burns heir 😉
Interested in finding out more on OpenXR v SteamVR. I'm on a Ryzen 53600x, 3070ti, 32gb, and all "hds" are either SSD or m.2. Oculus Q2 on DCS I'm finding a bit flakey…. Otherwise DCS runs smooth as butter out of VR. Of course, and I know this isn't the same, VTOL VR is a fun, immersive, initial challenge – and did like your content on that.
Me, I was a wanna-be pilot back in the 1980's, but never came to fruition – proud of family links and being able to tour the likes of Cranwell, Wyton, Lossiemouth, Buchan, Machrihanish etc.
Rmax and myself have to be the closest together out of the school looking at the map. I'm thinking that may it may mean between us both that lag will be non existent so when the F15E finally comes out if he's up for some two seat action.
The one thing you didn't tell us about – what's that bell for on the desk? 😀
I'm an Arma3 guy myself, but do prefer the TrackIR setup. Considering getting into MSFS or DCS, either VR or TrackIR – hence my interest in the video.
is there a min age for the flight school
I cannot wait to get a PC sorted. Wife’s off Mat leave now so fingers crossed I can get that sorted and sign up asap. 🤞
Some great advice as usual Tim. Love the training you run and guidance given during the exercises.
I have a 3080ti card but in a laptop I was considering buying a pimax 8k vr for this course, would a lap top run this ?
CPU: i7-9700K
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX CMK16GX4M2B3000C15 (2x8GB, 2x)
GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 2070 Armor 8G
SSD: Crucial Mx500 2,5"1TB (2x)
Also have a Reverb G2 and I think (top of my head) everything runs on ultra without the goggles. Lovely game. Hope to be going back to school soon!
Impressive all round Tim, especially the training modules. I like what you say about the social conditioning or, as I know it, muscle memory gained from repeated practice. I only wish something like this was available when I was starting out, way better than all those hours in wet and windy VGS hangars waiting for the right weather! Being able to learn and repeat the lessons in DCS or even MSFS20 must be a huge help in developing flying skills. I only dabble with DCS but I'll certainly recommend your channel and courses to those thinking about a flying career.
Its good you got VR cos those monitors are long in da tooth 😛
Ewwww, Sidestick! 😜
What on earth is combat flight?
Started out in DCS during the first lockdown, and built my system for this purpose (some components gradually over time as they became available).
M/B ASUS ROG Strix X570-F Gaming
CPU: AMD 5800x (OC 4.8GHz)
RAM 64GB 3600MHz
GFX NVIDA RTX 3070 8GB GDDR6
SSD 1* Samsung PRO 980 2TB (for DCS ;-)) & several Samsung 850 EVO 1TB's (for other games and software)
OS Windows 10 Pro (Latest OS patches)
HOTAS Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS (Joystick & Throttle), VKB Pedals (v4) + TM MFD w/CUBESIM (x2) & PointCTRL (fantastic)
VR HP Reverb G2 (use this for DCS – also using OpenXR) & Oculus Quest 2 (also have TrackIR5, not using)
Monitor iiYama G-Master GB3466WQSU (3440×1400)
This works well for me, but it hasn't been without trials and tribulations along the way to get it to a point where its actually very good.
If I were to build another system today, I would go back down the Intel route.

I was an ED Tester for the Blackshark and A10C Tim – pretty much left it all behind around 2013 just before retiring so i could focus on transition to civ-div. Used to be a VIP at Duxford, knew Jim Mac well, Cizh and Dmitry, Wags, the Grey's etc. Infact…………….. think i'm still under NDA – lol! I also used to run the 74th VFS The Flying Tigers which was run pretty much the same way as Shadowlands but clearly under an Army Regimented system – the guys loved it, the structure etc. It was unapologetically 'eliteist'. It faded to grey after leaving DCS world as I've mentioned to focus on transition. Nowadays, I fly with my son, a couple of mates every now n then etc. I may well join you for some Friday night action. Take care. O7
i "play" on a 5600g
Unfortunately I don’t have a PC as I’ve just returned to the UK from Saudi. After flying on DCS for a good 14 years or so with GR & others I’d very much like to learn a bit more about how to operate the jets in a realistic manner. As soon as I get a PC next year I’ll be looking you up. Enjoy the videos. You need to stop looking in the mirror & make some more. Keep up the good work.
Sounds like something I would be interested in, but can't afford it right now.
Nice to see that you have found a place to get back into flying training Tim, Always one on the best people to strap into a jet. IV sqn linney
No idea why i watched this but quite liked it 😀
I got a bit lost with you saying you fly with other pilots in the military are they actual military pilots or what? Seems cool AF, defo an S Tier job for cool.
