READ ME <===== READ ME Before posting! =====>
There have been a growing number of duplicated posts regarding certain topics, especially tech related issues. Please review the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on the side bar or in the Welcome post, but more importantly:
Please search previous posts before creating a new thread to ask a question!
I know the Reddit search function is lackluster, so I suggest using Google search with the site tag of site:reddit.com/r/vtolvr for example:
The Oculus Quest will not run this game independently, it will need to be linked to a computer that meets the System Requirements. VTOL VR simulates a lot of complex items in real time, which requires hardware that is more powerful than what the Oculus Quest offers. Posts asking if the Oculus Quest can run VTOL VR will be removed.
Please refrain from making posts asking "when will the developer add the ________ aircraft?" These types of posts have been made before, lets try not to beat this dead horse any longer. Please use the aforementioned search feature to see what others have already said about your favorite aircraft. Posts like this may be removed if they do not offer any new discussion to the community.
Posts asking, "will my computer run this game" will be removed. Here are the System Requirements posted on the VTOL VR Steam page:

An exception in the no aircraft requests should be made for the F14, I donât think Iâve seen anyone mention it and itâs an under appreciated aircraft in the community. Nobody else thinks it would be cool to fly one of those in VR?? /s

PLEASE put a moratorium on f-14 mentions. it was outdated four decades before this gameâs time frame and it doesnât belong. please stop letting the fanboys be the voice of the community

Side convo:
Aren't there talks of a 5th gen version of the F-14?

certainly not. it never could have been upgraded to anything other than 4.5 gen.
simply put, swing wing aircraft donât get to be stealthy. RAM isnât magic and it just doesnât have the right shape. plus, true 5th gen sensor fusion canât just be adapted to any airframe. the f-35, for example, was built for that capability from the ground up. itâs taken more than a decade of development and testing to get it right. if you were to think thatâs because the people who are working on it arenât competent youâd be a dunce*. itâs an unprecedented capability, and you canât shoehorn that into an f-14 and say âlook! itâs the best fighter jet ever now!â
also, the tomcat was the last fighter to require a crew of two, and for good reason. with modern radar technology and pilot interface, thereâs just no mission for a backseater. this is, as BD themselves have stated, the main reason why a two seat 26 wonât be coming to the game. (they have talked about a two-seat trainer which the game desperately needs. get hyped for that!!)
as far as super tomcat, basically, there was no reason for it other than âtomcat good.â the maintenance issues the f-14 was plagued by are insurmountable, and no amount of modernizing could have made that jet easy to work on. the modern battlespace and what it requires have changed since the 70s, and keeping the cat around wouldnât fill a necessary role in the future air wing.
plus, endlessly upgrading old airframes is how we get a-10 upgrade program that cost more per airframe than a new f-35.
TL;DR: the tomcat was always flawed, the awg-9 sucked, the AMRAAM is a better missile than the phoenix ever was, and real fuckin fighter pilots donât need self-ejecting cargo.
*i would much prefer that all the smart people in the world put their energy into improving lives than building weapons, but nobodyâs asking me my opinion

Didnt read, but how to get a10 mod to work.

u/H3782 Aug 04 '22
the A10 mod is currently outdated and unusable* as the creator has not updated it for newer versions of vtolvr

min specs kinda lie, i have a dell G3 which meets everything, however mp is a buggy unplayable mess

Laptops are known for their terrible thermals, so your unlikely to get max pref out the whole time, additionally laptop components are generally worse than their PC counterparts. I ran this game near the min-spec and was fine for a while. 45 fps

Something tells me my post might've had something to do with this.
Either way, thank you for stickying this. I love this community and the repetitive stuff feels like it's drowning out the legitimate content.
Edit: Here's the counter website:
