Welcome to the future. I've been using the Tobii 5 for years. The software stack has only gotten better. You can use it in the same way in DCS, Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous.
Hey! Wow this is a fun video. Definitely subscribing to your channel! Loved the passenger announcement lol. I really like your minimalist controls setup especially with the mini overhead up top!
Very nice video again! I've been using Tobii eye tracker for an year now and I love it. It's a great addition to my setup when I don't fly in VR. After completed my PPL, I have started my ATPL studies. If you have those ambitions, you should definitely go for it. Meanwhile I am perfecting my setup to practise procedures (mainly GA aircraft (Diamond DA40 NG/TDI) for IR/CPL part) as much as possible to be ready for practical part after theory.
Quick question, it looks like you modified the Thrustmaster Airbus quadrant. How did you get to do that? I would like to do that for my setup to to make it look more realistic. Thanks
Sorry if this is real dim, but as a VR headset user I can’t help but think, just use a VR headset! Reason being that you see the screen and the window is to your left. You look to the left 90 degrees where the window would be and you look at your wall. So presumably you have to teach yourself to scale the angles you look through, so to shift your view 90 degrees you would look 10 degrees. VR you want to look 90 degrees to the side, you look 90 degrees to the side. Apologies if that’s badly explained but I still can’t quite picture it feeling natural to use. Interested to see what you think. Cracking video as ever mate!
I use the Aerofly A321 in VR, mind blowing. Unfortunately the Fenix A3xx in VR is a frame hog , and my rig is is an i9 14900k, 4090. Fenix is more of a study sim anyway, I prefer having charts in front of me and PFD/ECAM running on tablets, Tobli is perfect
I agree with@@sgtjonzo Especially when you do a lot with connected physical instruments outside the game (IR practise for example). And Tobii is nice addition for this. VR is very nice for more precise control practise and procedures that don't require much instrument interactions (pattern flying with touch and go's for example).
Nice video! I'm also checking on the eye tracker, maybe I'll try the tobii. Your graphics look crazy though, can you share your PC specs if it's possible? Thanks! Good day sir!
For anyone who wants the same experience but doesn't want to spend alot of money. You could get the same effect using an old webcam with head tracking software (which is free). There are numerous videos that explain it in detail.
Tried that first, but was not the same experience. Tobii works very nice and isn't overprice in my opinion. I did disable eye tracking, because it was to sensible for me. Head tracking is great. You can set the sensibility in MSFS for your own preference.
@@Tuno85 the settings you use for the cheap headtracking can really make or break the experience. You need to set the webcam to lowest quality, if you don’t, the headtracking might only be at 5fps. There’s a good tutorial that goes into depth into the settings.
The content is absolutely fantastic! The Tobii Eye Tracker is already installed ;) But Sir, what is that control panel above the monitor next to the Stream Deck?
I find it great that you seem to like flight simulation as much as I do! nice video! I can only assume that you did not try VR before now? Seriously, the only thing I know of that I know of that feels real is VR. There is a reason you can't go back to flat screen after experiencing VR, especially in flight and racing simulations, which is because you have never had depth perception before playing in VR. The only other times where you have depth perception except in VR is in REALITY. For real.
@Swiftershock at least there are many optimizations possible. Did you try Auto FPS and turn the textures down. Dont overuse the VRam in VR. Also Use virtual desktop with motion reprojection, so the game only needs to run with half the framerate. I can fly PMDGs 737 in VR with 70-80 FPS on my RTX 3080 which is amazing, I didnt think I could.
Get an ATPL (well, fATPL)! If you treat enjoying the flying/journey to get there as the main objective, the qualification is a bonus - and then you have it if you fancy a career change! I know a few people who have gone the other way and are now Doctors.
Thanks man, I think having medicine in my pocket is always helpful, but like you said, I'm in no rush, so starting my ppl soon and seeing where it takes me!
Nice advert ;) Still, it's a good piece of gear that does make the sim experience much more immersive, and definitely a (fairly expensive) purchase that you would keep and make use of...unless you're a VR-only chap/chapess, but there we're talking much, much, much more expensive.
I was all set to get one a while back and then discovered that with the arrival of the Eyetracker 5 they doubled the price, making it $500 after tax in Canada. That put an end to that idea :(
Hi mate great video! Just a heads up when your checking the flight controls the correct terminology is “NEUTRAL” not “CENTRE” (Full left, Full right, Neutral)
Hi, just two questions, what is the overhead panel you are using, I think I have the same monitor as you, can you share your camera settings for the cockpit, also how far are you from the monitor and what is the high of your monitor, ie what level are your eyes? Many thanks. Dave
And so, you can mount the tobii between you and the monitor, and it's not mandatory to mount it directly on the monitor .. Good to know. Because i have a simracing cocpit and i intend to mount it on the direct drive base, to be able to play mfs2024 Thank you for your vidéo 👍
Yo mate why don’t you try flight sim vr trust me it’s really incredible and has a lot of immersion, I tried it and it was a really nice experience especially using your flight controls while playing in vr flight sim and btw your vids are so cool and entertaining
Couple questions for you. What is the details of the screen that you were using and can I add two more side screens and will the tracking still work tracking from one screen to the next. I’m also interested in the rest of your set up all of your gear that you use you seem to have a real interesting set up. I will be buying 2024 once it comes out that’s when I’m going to do my complete set upso I’m holding off until then. My budget is about 6000 Canadian. Hope this finds you well and I hope that you’ll be able to answer the questions. Thanks so much.
your young so you should go to defenetly go to flight school, I play fs2020 just for fun as I enjoy learning about aviation systems and procedures but I am too old to do any real training, keep up the hard work and you will get there
Can't recommend. The delay is too big. Framerate of MSFS is too low. You can't read moving image. You can't control moving panels with mouse. So you are constantly trying to hold your head steady. I'd say it's useful if you have full hotas and you never ever need to use mouse, and you mostly look at HUD. In my case also motion sickness, which I blame on the delay in tracking.

Haha thanks a lot, appreciate it, you can never stop spending 🤣

It ain’t the thrustmaster it’s the throttletek 320 throttle box. hope it helps 😊
Thanks!
how much is it
1300usd
Yep, it’s the throttletek, full review coming soon!
cant wait to try it out just ordered the Tobi eye tracker great video :D

Both has its place, VR is awesome but not comfortable for a 2 hour flying session, so head tracking is really good for extended playing periods

what parts do u need for a sim? im new
@@michaelmich00 a joystick and throttle is really all you NEED, but there's lots you can buy
This is so beautiful. Can't wait to own this
oh hell yeah!!!!!! finaly new video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
@@dutchaviationguy Aaaaaaand it wasnt a 2 month wait 🤣 I hope you like the video
which overhead panel is he using next to the stream deck?
I run the quest 3 and its so much more real feeling. Even landings are easier as you can actually look down and judge your altitude
Very fun 😂 my favourite MSFS channel !
if I was a pilot, the walkaround would be exactly like in this video - walking around the plane, yelling "WOW!" every few seconds 😂
Looks Realistic 😍
Not too shabby aye!?
Might not add a huge amount to flying commercials on your end, but for the audience it made the screen capture way more realistic!
It increases my enjoyment for sure, and excited to hear it makes it feel more immersive as a viewer :D

You’re too kind 🙃
Just a tip, make sure to read out the FLEX temp on takeoff (in this case you would say 'MAN FLEX 57 SRS RUNWAY A/THR BLUE')
Thanks, will take that onboard!

The only issue with that is, that my PC cant handle Microsoft Flight Simulator in VR with bigger Planes

Awesome video!!! 🎉
So cool how you fly the plane!
I wish i had that setup
That looks amazing

It’s ridiculous how they think they can justify that much money for a glorified web cam. Just use SmoothTrack and your phone.
Hi mate great video! Just a heads up when your checking the flight controls the correct terminology is “NEUTRAL” not “CENTRE”

I love my tobii eye tracker
Yeaaaaaahhhhhhhh flight doc just posted 😎
Only 785 views no way 🙅♂️
Ahahaha, a few more now 😁
@@TheFlightDocyou deserve it lol enjoy your eyetracker
Got the hf8 seat cover which vibrates engines ect great in vr or eye tracker

is that the throttletek airbus v2 i was thinking about getting one but its a long wait and expensive
Quick question, how do you make those graphics look amazing as mine looks bad and is on high graphics
I recommend a curved screen to take it to the next level
Great video! What addon scenery is that ?
what is the box that you are using for the apu bleed and battery etc? where can i get it
I've had my tobii Eye Tracker for about a 1 1/2 and would not think of flying with it. Enjoy!!!!!!!
Just run it in vr. Then it really feels real. You can even use your hands on the switches and dials
VR baby
The mini overhead!!! Where is that from?
From aviator panels dot co dot uk :-)
How do you walk around?
yes you should become a pilot
Watch this space!
Hey, how did you setup your winwing stick? I have trouble calibrating it, thanks!
Still window shopping. How do you deactivate and reactivate the tracker while in flight?
What did you put in for simbrief for the fuel etc. Like what route did u put in?
do the glasses somehow interfere with the tracking of the Tobi 5? (lighting in rhe room, reflexes on the lenses...)
Yo mate why don’t you try flight sim vr trust me it’s really incredible and has a lot of immersion, I tried it and it was a really nice experience especially using your flight controls while playing in vr flight sim and btw your vids are so cool and entertaining
Thanks a lot! I will film my VR experience soon, it is more tricky to do well than a standard setup :-)
I need one of these!
I would like to know where you got the airbus APU (and other ovhd) switches?
Nice review, and by the way, the L2 door would never be, opened, period.
Can you share PC Spec and MSFS settings? Game looks amazing and very smooth
Thanks mate, 4080 super, 32gb DDR5 ram, 3TB SDD, 1100 w power, 14900k cpu :)
Settings are all on high :)
How did you spot the other plane like how did you do it with the camera
why is it when i keep my head still the tracker still moves
where you got the joystick on your left?

What type of throttle kit you have there?
I have the V3 Box as well. How did you mount it? I am lost with mine, it just sits on a stool at the moment.
@@captainchris93 double sided stickey tap for now till I think of something better 😅
Great video! How did you get the PA effect on your voice?
Thank you! I used a sound effect in my editing software 😅 Final cut pro :)
Where are you getting those overhead mounts?
I’ve recently taken a liking to flight summing and I have no clue where to start any recommendations?
Probably best to start with a basic joystick and go from there :)
#AIRBUSEPTEMBER is the best September
You got that right!!
Very cool video could you plis do some flygth tutorials
I may do a full vatsim flight tutorial soon :)
Any more plans for flying with @AlphaOriginals again?
When time allows :-)
im new to this stuff where can i get good mods?

Is this game hard to play ?
had it many years ago and i hated it as you still have to look at the screen when you turn ur head Awkward ... VR is way better
