Digital Combat Simulator World

And yeah, come together well and looks fantastic.

Most of the time when you're flying above the ground, you can't be accustomed to like seeing like DCS or, uh, or Microsoft's flight sim ground flight sim.

Yeah.

There's like, you're flying above what looks like a cat's fantasy world where everything looks like a cardboard box for houses, uh, Uh, you, you definitely, there were a couple of times I was doing a tight turn and I was looking to my right, getting ready.

Cool story.

And I'm like, "Man, that would be, kind of be cool to do that in reverse, where, like, we compete, like, we could make scoring, and it'd be pretty fun to watch." And I, at the same time, came across this simulation environment called Digital Combat Simulator.

Curious if any of your listeners, you know, know, know this world exists, 'cause they'd love it.

But it is mind-blowing.

Um, now the hardcore simulator is, uh, it is an Apache, uh, seat and cyclic and the collective on the side, um, on, uh, uh, On the side there, I've got the F-16 side stick controller whenever I fly that.

And what, DCS? Yeah.

Really? I didn't know you flew DCS.

Very rare lately.

You're still the

I don't get it.

Yeah, he didn't take it off.

Julie says, has Gonky ticked off enough on his honey-do list to be allowed to play DCS yet? No, it gives her the ick.

basically a lot of the footage that went viral video game footage is frequently shared on tick tock footage from war in ukraine They use Arma 3,

Digital Combat Simulator, Call of Duty, and Airsoft footage.

But there are many stories about this, where war in Ukraine sparks a new wave of misinformation, where millions of hits, tons of videos, and people don't know real from fake.

And the people who have been faked don't generally go back and correct it.

Um, we, uh, we lost a friend.

Um, you know, I, I knew Wags, uh, Matt Wagner, uh, from DCS, Digital Combat Simulator.

I met Wags 2018 online.

I never actually met him in person, but, um, you know, I started this YouTube stuff kinda in the blind.

And as it progressed, people kept saying, "Hey, you need to play this DCS.

You need to play this DCS." And I'm like, "What, what's DCS? What is this?" You know? And I had played sims in the past.

I'd played a little bit of, it's called Lock On! Modern Air Combat when I was in college.

[clears throat] I played Jane's ATF Gold, uh, F18 a little bit, Strike Eagle game.

So if you're going to Sim Gaming Expo and you want to fly a helicopter in VR, come over to our booth.

Can I just say that flying a helicopter in DCS in VR, since I've just swapped to VR, is absolutely nutty.

It is a completely different game 50 feet off the ground in VR versus being 50 feet off the ground in 2D.

So definitely go, and if you have a chance to fly a helicopter, I don't care what game, that close in VR, it's going to change however you play DCS.

I've been 2d guy for years just picked up a quest 3 and yeah flying a helicopter in vr is next level stuff it's amazing

i think that rotor wing is the like diamond in the rough in dcs oh personal

absolutely

but to finish that up though we we will have a booth we will have a rotor sim running uh proprietary rotor heart rotary like flight controls uh in a pymax vr headset we also have a bunch of team members that are going to be running their SIM, their flight SIM area where they're going to have, uh, wind control on, I think it's like 14 or 15 computers.

I'm playing, like, War Thunder Sim.

I'll probably play some DCS at some point again.

I'm just doing stuff that I enjoy.

I just love flight and flight combat.

Um, I, I'm not interested in, in making stuff that I don't really care for or want to watch.

My philosophy coming into this is like, uh, I want to fly stuff that I love to fly.

Battlefield, DCS, War Thunder, whatever games give me that thrill of flight and flight combat, I'm going to invest time into.

Star System will always be something that I make content on until the servers turn off.

that this Telegram account, when I looked at it, was created April 1st of this year, consistent with these timelines, that they're trying to set up a legitimate propaganda outlet to give it legitimacy.

Then we have this fake fact check, this fact check two days after they created the Telegram page, that they used footage from a video game, and Reef had heard of the game, I had not, Digital Combat Simulator World, DCS World, or Arma 3.

They had put out basically Hasbara propaganda, but it was propaganda that was pro-Palestine and made it look like Iran was hitting an F-15.

But this was fact-checked multiple ways.
