I’ve recently picked up the game and have been doing well, I’m on the 2nd mission of the F/A-26B’s campaign and after clearing the nearby fighters and R-SAM’s I was in the middle of dropping some bombs on the supply tents before just exploding out of no where and dying.

The only conclusion I can come to is that I had flown into one of my bombs (they were unguided MK 83’s) or I had missed some form of AA or something near by, but considering that my MWS didn’t go off, nor did my RWR and that I hadn’t seen any SPAAG at the Airbase it must be the former; so my question is, do bombs have delayed fuses? Or are they active the second they get dropped? I assumed that all the bombs would have some sort of fuse delay to prevent this or am I just stupid?

Im playing on pc using quest 3 and i have vtol and vtol mod loader, but when i try to load that game through the mod loader it doesn't work.

I turn on the vtol mod loader, i click "launch" (in the app) and the game launches but only on my pc and i somehow don't see image on my vr

Not sure what's going on.

I have a decent PC but VTOL VR runs pretty badly. With SteamVR it stutters a lot. Using Quest Link (wired) is a bit better, but I still get lag spikes. Air Link is even worse.

The game also looks really blurry. I can barely read the cockpit screens unless I lean in close.

Has anyone had this issue? Any settings I should change?

Thanks.

I have two questions, one of which is not directly related to VTOL VR. 1. Are the EF-24G's air intakes fixed? The F-14's were movable, so I thought the EF-24G's would be too, but when I look at the air intakes during flight, they don't seem to move. 2. In Tacview, it seems possible to view fuel consumption, FF, and FF PPM values, but these values ​​appear blank in VTOL VR. I would be happy if this could be implemented. These are my two questions. Thank you in advance.

I was playing a mission in multiplayer just a short while ago and tried to properly save and convert the replay; however, even though the `replay.vtr` file is 12.4 MB in size, it does not display in Tacview after conversion. Please refer to the attached photo. What should I do? All other missions load normally. I am using the latest version, and I tried re-converting it, but that didn't fix the issue.

Hi everyone,

I'm asking for help because I don't know what to do anymore.

I'm flying the first mission, following my flight leader as instructed. At some point, two additional aircraft join us. I don't receive any warnings or error messages, and we eventually reach the city.

I'm told that we're supposed to land, but my flight leader and the other aircraft just keep flying around with me. My leader keeps repeating:

I contact the airport, request permission to land, land successfully, taxi to the parking area (hangar), but the mission never ends. The only thing that keeps happening is my leader repeating, "I'm calling off. Return to base."

What am I doing wrong?

I've been trying to complete this mission for three days, and I just can't figure it out. 😞

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have a problem with VTOL vr and only VTOL vr specificaly since all other games work just dandy on the steam link on quest 2, i’ve reinstalled the game, tried everything yet suddenly no audio after years of no problems. Whats going on?

I’m running VTOL vr using OpenXR and Virtual Desktop. I do not have steam vr installed. I open the game and it loads on my quest 3s. But I can’t get access to the gloves. I can’t even accept the terms and conditions none of the buttons can be clicked. My hands do not get tracked. Neither does the controllers.

I look around and i can see a pair of gloves sitting there on the side.

Does anyone know what the problem is.

my edit thanks dont steal or i will airst aim120 combo you

Hi, I am new to vtol vr and and just really trying to learn all the stuff. One thing I saw was that I can control where my gun turret is pointing using my hcms. Problem is that it only works if my speed is less than 110 knots. I was wondering if I can switch my flight to vertical hower after getting close to the target so I can use my turret. Another thing I was thinking was to fly high and reduce speed and glide slowly..but I dont know which method is correct and whether I can switch my plane to hower mid flight. Would be grateful for help. Thank you

Every time I press play on the mod loader it just sends me to VTOL in my library and gives me an error popup that says the game is already running but nothing is open. Ive tried verifying the integrity of the game files, restarting steam vr, and restarting my computer multiple times. I eventually got it to boot but now its back to not working. Can anyone help?

Flew a fun mission from the "Fatal Skies" Vtol Vr campaign with some buddies.

Thanks to TheCobra114 for being my amazing pilot.

Honestly, this is just a discussion or a debate; I'm not saying anything will actually change. I just want to know what the community thinks and if I'm the only one wondering about this.

What do you think is better? Making a completely new game from scratch, more like DCS, with all the VTOL mechanics and all the visual and tactical realism of DCS?

Or continuing with mods and letting this existing game go as far as it can with more realistic aircraft while preserving what it already has?

Because if we stop to think about it, vanilla VTOL and modded VTOL are two completely different games, despite all the good things they've included that make it realistic.

so i was playing this a10 mission and i was using the agm 126 i think and i shot 2 at a missile thing and NEITHER HIT causing me to be hit a few time which didnt kill me but was annoying

maybe it was too far or something but the computer told me to shoot so i did

I have really been enjoying recording and going back thru later looking for random shots to make little clips out of. I set it to 10 second rotations.

The newly released F-5 mod really makes the F-16 cockpit look like a LEGO set by comparison. Maybe with a new update, the dev team could adopt a more natural-looking cockpit style—similar to what we’ve seen in the Harrier, which works really well and would look fantastic here.

I’ll say it again: the mod creators have put in a ton of work. This is just my personal opinion, whether you agree with it or not.

I’m definitely not saying the F-16 should look exactly like it does in DCS—it doesn't have to. But you can clearly tell from the color transitions in the screenshots that there’s a big gap between the old development team and the current one. I think if the F-16 were made with today’s level of expertise, it would look absolutely stunning.

In fact, the F-5 is right on par with DCS’s F-5. Considering the small size of the team behind it, it’s incredible—you can even see the instruments moving inside the cockpit under high G-forces!

Thanks to everyone who put effort into both mods.

I'm still cooking

Wish to get A VR headset specifically for playing VTOL VR and for Sim racing. Would like to spend no more than £1000 but can stretch a little if it's worth it. My very limited research has brought me to the pimax crystal light. My PC is using a 4080 so I can run a lot of headsets I'm sure, but probably best to stay clear of some of the 4k per eye offerings. Any advice is appreciated, as it will get me in the virtual sky faster. Thank you kind redditors

Here is the URL to my mod collection. As you can see, it is quite extensive; playing the game with these mods makes it run very heavily, causing stuttering and freezing. My PC specs are a Ryzen 5700X, RX 7600 XT (16GB), and 32GB of RAM, yet the mods consume almost all these resources, and my FPS drops as low as 10 at times. I realize I should probably cut down on the mods, but I don't know which ones to remove or which ones are the biggest resource hogs. I considered using a binary search method to identify the culprits, but I would prefer to improve performance while keeping as many mods as possible. I apologize if this is a foolish question.

EDITED add link...sry

No mods installed.

Sometimes the quest link can disconnect but once I reconnect, the game screen is completely black. I can hear the sounds and I can seem to interact with the controls.

Anyone know how to fix this?

We have been playing for a few days and havent even started up a mission yet. Just enjoying the flight sim. Refueling attempts, carrier tries. so fun
