Straight OBS is fine. There is another level which is fun, and I think you could use.
At the end of this is a video I recently did that is cinematic in nature: All the cockpit shots are straight OBS as I am flying. I also run a program called Sky Dolly in the background. This program captures all information about the flight in progress to a CSV file. I can then reload the flight, change my camera angles, and record the footage. Jeff Favignano uses to splice into his videos.
You can capture B-roll style footage which is how Jeff uses it.
Oh, perfect! That sounds handy. I was just watching one of his flight videos and he had some neat external views after the cockpit view landing. That must be how he did it. Iāll definitely check this out, thanks. :)
I really hate the in game ATC. It is constantly trying to kill me. Having me take off with a significant tailwind rather than into the wind. Telling me to land at a runway where thereās a massive crosswind when thereās another runway thatās into the wind. Itās getting kind of annoying.
It is the one I use for every plane. I have the TCa Airbus throttle with addons I love.
Edit. For general ga flying the throttle in it is fine. It was with the airliners I needed a better throttle. The Airbus has specific positions you need to put the throttle in and it was hard on that Extreme.
@Zilla_Blitz, if youāre interested in a fuller setup, I have a full Thrustmaster T.16000 stick/throttle/pedals combo available, as well as an AIrbus stick/throttle/expansion setup. I upgraded to a ridiculous Winwing HOTAS setup, so both are just gathering dust in the garage now and Iād make a sweet deal for a Qt3 friend. :)
Thanks, Editer! Iāll reach out via the messaging here. I might wait a bit to see how I like the game(s) first, but Iād be interested to connect about it, for sure!
So far I am enjoying NeoFly. I made some bad choices with my initial attempt. Picked the DR400 as I hadnāt flown it before and it said it took four passengers, making it seem superior to the other choices. I started at my home airport KRNO. The DR400 seemed nice once I got it up at altitude, but even after a run up where I felt I had the mixture right the thing does not climb well and the wind just has itās way with it. Iām probably doing it wrong, but instead I started a new career in the Savage Cub. While the wind still has its way with the Cub it just feels so much more powerful and able to climb in the mountain air.
There was a period of frustration when trying to start a career with the Savage Cub. It does not have a parking brake. NeoFly wants you to set the parking brakes to begin the mission and load cargo/passengers. After some searching I found thereās a little button hidden at the bottom of the flight screen in the NeoFly interface that letās it ignore the parking brakes.
Neofly is quite fun and updated regularly too. For what itās worth, donāt min/max play it like I did. You have the ability to hire pilots to fly for you and whatnot. If you lean too hard on that, Neofly becomes much less about you flying, and more of you just managing others flying for you. I made a ton of money and burned out a bit fast. Itās at itās highlight just with you or a very small corp trying to get nicer rides and doing your checkrides, etc. Itās also fun to do the daily treasure hunt mission, especially so since it usually requires a smaller plane to do so and the ability to find a good route to get to the location.
Difficulty is up to your goal. To fly around and see cool scenery donāt worry about realism too much. If you want to try to make real difficult crosswind landings set it to hard. Looking over the individual options is a good idea too, as if you have no rudder pedals you might want to set auto rudder but set other things to realistic. Mixture too is one of those things you might want to keep on assist while you turn other things up. I fly is mostly hard/realistic, except for the taxi ribbons setting since I have no idea where Iām going on the ground.
Also, I jumped out of VR for a quick screenshot of my last flight for the night. Right around sunset coming into KFLX. The last light coloring the storm clouds. And the sky4sim panel getting in the way and somewhat ruining the shot.
