On this channel we like to do a lot of dogfighting most videos are some sort of dogfight between 2 different aircraft as we explore their different capabilities. From time to time I like to dabble in Virtual Reality, I think VR is a great new technology and I love to show that stuff off for the channel from time to time.
If you enjoy war thunder or Microsoft flight simulator 2020 or even dogfighting in Battlefield 2042, consider getting yourself into Digital Combat Simulator by Eagle Dynamics, the Combat side of Aviation with the BVR and Dogfights really provides a different and interesting perspective on aviation. You can fly all kinds of combat aircraft including the F-16, F-15, F-14, JF-17, Su-27, Mig-29, Mirage and the F-18 Hornet along with many other aircraft and helicopters like the Ka-50 and Mi-8.

Thanks for watching, hope this video helps quell some of the curiosity about some of the products I use, let me know if there are any questions regarding any of the products you see in the video. Thank you for watching I'll see you in the next one, all the best.
I really love your setup videos. Honestly, I think they're important for me cause then I can find ideas for a sim pit. Thanks for the awesome content!
What kind of pen was that?
sweet setup! just out of curiosity, I wonder what are those keyboard/mouse pads you're using :)
I’ll be deeply disappointed if you’re not using a Pilot pen
@liubei106 I agree with that. If that's not a pilots pen, I will be so pissed I'll never forgive myself for getting the Warthog Hotas, but I believe that's a pen pilots normally use
Excellent pen movement I must say. Smooth panning and decisive pointing. Great job GS
Thank u, practiced a few days to get that pointing perfect.
@@GrowlingSidewindernow about pointing that f15 E Nose...keep practicing
@@kaiezesi6630it's not a good dogfighter and it has been confirmed by real pilots as well. So an armchair expert like you does not have a valid opinion.
@@GrowlingSidewinder Your are prime Lt. material.
You beat me to it.
I was going to say his penmanship is on point ;)
I'm actually disappointed that he hasn't acquired an actual cockput from a boneyard and filled it with screens and equipment.
To get a Tomcat cockpit, he would have to import it from Iran. Since that is illegal, he settles for a desk.
@@that.schamp According to the latest Google Earth map, there's still one solitary F14 hiding out in the yard at Tucson. It's meant to be. Destiny even. We, the viewers, can do this for this man, as long as we're willing to commit some felonies and possible treason.
Yeah, to get an F14 cockpit from Iran is illegal. The worst I've heard about the Iran-Iraq era criminals charges for giving F14A like TF-30s and AWG-9 radars. Basically, important parts to Iran were on death row.
@@Salty_Balls count me in hahaha
I know what you mean however, I think it would be a detriment to GS’s content. When he manipulates cockpit switches in his videos we can see what he’s doing via the on-screen cursor. We’d lose that if he were to use a simpit and physical switches.
“This is my razor chair there are many like it but this one is mine”
Nice setup. I like the "nothing fancy but functional" concept.
I'm sure we'd love to see a split screen of you flying and you behind the console simultaneously. ( Concealed identity, of course.
Pretty sure GS has Hans Zimmer score all his content. Every video is an emotional masterpiece.
If it was Zimmer, it would be more epic.
All I can say is what a nice person you are. The most fun and interesting of your videos for me is when you are in a tomcat, but dude, I enjoyed this video even more, just because of you being nice and gentle.
Agreed!
So…… no 1-1 scale f-18 made out of paper mache?
Dude you make the best content on youtube. I watch every day
Thank u, I appreciate you.
I just want to say you are the whole reason I got into DCS. I saw one of your videos on my recommended and that night I started shopping for my first entry level hotas. Thank you so much for introducing me to something that helps me unwind more than most things 🙂
Honestly, I'm the same
No actually.
Thanks so much for the tour; I appreciate it very much. You have a fantastic rig!
Exactly what i was wondering the other day, i went back to your older videos to get an idea. This was great timing! Love the detailed video and opinions. I definitely want to get started in DCS so this really helps a lot. Thanks so much for this video man, great content as always.
Thanks, GS, for the setup video, and the tip with the tracker. Your awesome for always looking out for your subs man. Looking forward to the next one.
Great stuff GS, interesting to see the hardware that produces such great content. And your skills of course!
I love such setup videos and waited a long time for an update by you. Very cool and motivating ;)
This is super helpful, thank you so much GS.
Just came across your channel about a month ago sir, absolutely love your videos and your channel. Keep the dogfighting videos coming, they are so informative and awesome to watch.
thank you very much, appreciate your support and welcome to the channel.
Nice setup! You are one of the best RUclipsrs on the platform!
Taking notes right now. This will truly help me with my efforts to create the ULTIMATE DCS gaming setup!
Used to have the Top Gun Thrust Master throttle and stick combo when I used to play Mech Warrior 4. Man that brings back memories.
Best one of these videos I’ve seen, short and to the point, noice
Thank you for showing your set up. I like most other of your followers really wants to see your set up. As expected no bullshit, clean and useful components making up the Tools for a VATARAN DCS flyer along with other multitasks ❤️✌🏻🙂
Finally got me a flight room. I went all in. I wondered how you could see a bogey so far away. Now I understand what that 55-in lol😂 explains it all. Awesome!
Thank you for showing your setup. You're a good guy bro I love your videos.
Nice setup! Reminds me of touring a Microsoft concept house mock up in Redmond. Massive monitors and compute everywhere - incredible
eye candy. You salivate …until your realize all together it cost like $250k.
Where in Redmond is this? Sounds cool
@@austinbaccus It was an executive demo type display to “show the vision.” Sadly, i do r recall where it was - it was maybe 15 years ago. ☹️
Cool Corvette model on the shelf in the background! 😊
Thank you, my dad got me that when I just a wee lad. I cherish it always.
@@GrowlingSidewinder aw that's so cool! 👍
Thanks for the behind the scenes vid.
Keep up the good work.
Appreciate the fresh updates!
No homo, the reason i only literally watch you is for your awesome voice. The aircraft and dogfighting knowledge is just the cherry ontop. Congratz on that soon to be half a million subs my dude!
Yeah that’s valid, no worries bro
been waiting for this video lmao, love the content keep up the great work road to 500k----1,000,000
Had my Thrust-master T1600m for 4 years now , look after it keep it clean, re grease every year and it’s like brand new !
I built a simulator about 10 years ago and I use it primarily to practice IFR flying using old school Microsoft Flight Simulator X (that particular software is a little dated but it still works fine). I had a traditional desk chair for it at first but no actual plane I have flown has had a desk chair in the cockpit. I wanted something from an actual vehicle, so I went to the local junk yard and found a front passenger seat (the driver’s seats were all way too worn and the passenger seat is pretty much the same thing) from a 1993 Nissan Maxima for $35. I built a base for the seat out of some scraps of old lumber so that was pretty much free. It works great; I still use it to this day.
Nice timing, I’m just finishing up the last few things for my gaming setup so I can finally play DCS
Those desk mounts for the hotas are a game changer. No more fucked up wrists after playing.
I have the good envy, nice setup GS
Awesome setup and awesome channel. Bravo.
Very nice Setup. I use a 42" LG TV as a Monitor and Track IR even has Problems at this Size and I struggeled a while with it. So it can happen even on smaller Screens than 55".
the tflight hotas one is pretty good, if you set up the 2 small backbuttons on the throttle to modifiers you have enough keys for pretty much every important control
WOW! excellent content with some interestingly "basic" equipment. IMPRESSIVE.
3:00 awww yeah, there's the GOOD stuff!
Such valuable info - thank you as always, GS.
p.s. since I'm watching this late, it's great to see you made the 500k subs - and then some ;)
I did pick up two foxx mounts after watching the last setup video, I've only had them maybe a month but oh man they are great
you are the best i cant wait to get on this level
I asked a couple videos back for your set up, so thanks GS!!
Thanks for sharing.
Epic coolness!
Perfect timing GS! I literally wondered out loud to myself if you had updated ur set up. ….probably shouldn’t have done that in church though. Anyway, great stuff as always!
Thanks for this! And responding to my email about it.
Thank you for the view and information on the set up……
Nice to see where all the magic happens!!!
Seeing that thrustmaster one takes me back to when I first started.
YES FINALLY THE SETUP!!!
The video I was wating for
I now understand why I struggle on my phone to see enemy in a dogfight , yet you pick them up quickly.
Wonderful screen.
ty for the set up vid :)
I have the same exact stick population... they're all great!
I can't imagine a 55" monitor...that is huge! (I have 3x 1920x1080 monitors)
Gs, funny I have never seen you in all years I have been watching your content!
Nice set up man. I recommend you try a Realsimulator R3 lightning one day. It's an awesome force sensing stick. It especially shines while flying fly by wire jets in DCS.
I've been using one for a few months, everything in the f16 is so much nicer, I can even do some refueling now
@@deathsicon I would like to see some video on refueling because I was in the 128th refueling wing in Milwaukee WI I retired from the Air Force in 1993. Do you have any posted??
Nice to see that some of my gear matched yours....
i have the same mouse mat....
Love the vids
It is awesome to show that entry and bang for your buck equipment can give great results. Having said that, I think you’ve earned yourself an upgrade. 🤣
whoaa awesome 😎
what a setup!!! Very nice, hotas 4 and a WHOLE lot of key binds here, i still kill stuff haha
I just bought the same keyboard you use its awesome so far
Sweet!
THE OFFICE 🙌🏻
Meanwhile I am trying to dogfight with a Logitech 3 from 2007 on a laptop. (Dogfight is a relative term here)
Your setup looks awesome! As a few have said, your videos are what got me into trying this. I picked up the Hornet with the sale, just took it out the first time yesterday.
I would have bet the farm on there being Virpil gear throughout. Makes me rethink what I’m saving for.
Yeah that chair was so good specially when you pull around 9Gs you need that kind of stuff to keep your spine intact
Thank you very much for the overview! Quick question: Have you ever done a video of your ingame settings? Would be interesting to see those!
Thanks for sharing! Wondered what you used!
Nice!!
Next time we need to see that bathroom!
Very nice! I only have a Thrustmaster control stick and full-size keyboard plugged into a laptop for YSFlight.
less go new setup video
GS does a good job showing us that you dont need the best or most expensive equipment to become good
The t16000 is a great stick and it has a matching throttle that has paddles on it that I use for rudder. It can also connect a set of peddles through the throttle too.
I wish it didn’t want to bring the stick back to center with so much force. Makes it really tough to air refuel, imo.
Very nice!😅
Id love to see video of you sitting and playing so I can see the game and equipment in use!
Right On
Good Stuff
Nice rig!
I figured you would've had the full dynamic chair corresponding to your flights in DCS. Cool setup regardless.
Would love some videos abojt how you use the replays to show such cool shots etc and like out movies together.
Awesome to see you behind the scenes GS, ive always had Logitech joysticks growing up usually playing old Novalogic games, however if most logitech sticks work good with DCS id love to know if its the case, im not sure if Saitek Joysticks would be good either too since they came with CD's some time ago with something for the setup, but from watching the video i definitely am amazed how it all began to where you are now. Congrats and awesome layout
Good video. I'm rebuilding my DCS set up. Had my complete gaming system and perifals stolen in early March. My Foxxmounts came in last Friday. Going to build my own pc. Going with a Ryzen 7 7800x3d with a 4090 gpu, 4tb of ssd, 64gb of ddr5. I also use Thrustmaster products. Found my old base and warthog stick. Have to order the throttles ( Going to change out the slew button again) and MFG rudder pedals with dampener. Probably pick up another TM FA18 stick again. When I made the switch to VR, Going to go with a HP REVERB G2 again. Ordered some parts for my build and they should be in by this week. Going to order the gpu and cpu next week. The case I'm going with is a LIAN 216, with a Gigabyte motherboard and MSI psu. I hope to be back up and running by end of July.
Surprisingly simple setup - no fancy setup (except for those pedals, those are top tier!). Cheap stick is OK for starting, but the moment you want any refueling and the throttle axis does its own jittery thing, not to mention limited precision... then you need at least something like T.16000 and TWCS throttle - and even that will soon start to angry you with jitter.
Im really stunned by your PC specs, im still used to things built like 10, 15 years ago with like 2GB of RAM so that thing you have feels like a NASA PC lol very very cool, no wonder why your videos are SO good 🔥
2GB of RAM was about 20 years ago. We had graduated to 8GB mainstream, 32GB high end by the 2010s
It would be interesting to see your Trackir settings. Because in the videos your head movement is very smooth and nice to watch, but when I play with Trackir everything feels a bit weird even though I played around with the settings for multiple hours.
The 16000M is a great stick, just wanted to add to that. I also believe that the same hall effect sensors are used in the 16000M as the Thrustmaster HOTAS joystick, just FYI for anyone interested.
my chair is a wooden folding chair. i like it fixed feets to not roll off while using the pedals.
I got 50" TV and I was not sure will TrackIR work ok from that angle, problem sorted, it`s time for shopping :)
This maybe 2 months ago, but being interested in DCS give inspiration to challenge or try new things for a descent setup.
Cool
Of the many subscriptions I have on YT, GS is the channel I definitely religiously go to as soon as I see a new video from him.
His delivery of DCS is entertaining AND informative altogether. The many technical terms and lectures in military aviation can get boring fast but GS has this talent that simply prevents that. His voice over does not necessitate exaggeration. It's just calm and consistent. There's a little bit of emotion for the sake of keeping the viewer's spirits up. Kinda' like your dad trying to throw a joke at you -- and then you're laughing while his face is still serious. 😁
Also, watching him dogfight makes me worried, that we may be giving our real world adversaries too much information. I am actually scared one day that the US military (USAF and USN in particular) will come knocking to GS's door and tell him to quit making Top Gun level information in the interest of national security.
The last part, I'm f*cking serious. 😐
The last part won't happen unless it happens. Yes
I'm more into watching than playing DCS and if it's possible I would really love a video off for exmaple a BVR engagement aswell as a dogfight with a video showing how you work the hardware!
I have the thrustmaster warthog throttle and the thrustmaster F-18 stick with the base plate. I only need 2 more things to “complete” my setup. Trackir and foxx mounts.
The Pen is the real hero here.
Been playing dcs on my Xbox controller. But getting a head tracker made a big difference.
Perfect time to ask this question: Do you like scale model planes? Because it’s a great hobby to collect or build them, and makes for awesome decorations! Just curious
I have many of them, they're actually right on that shelf in the back of the room there, I didn't get them in the shot because I didn't think anyone cared lol.
@@GrowlingSidewinder We need to see a scale model tour!
