OMG they're in the air! haha

 

[Brobzoid]

I wonder who buys these games and how big the market for them is. I remember the MS Flight Simulator being fairly popular back in the day, but these games just strike me as way too fucking hardcore to have any substantial audience these days.

Quick Look: Digital Combat Simulator: A-10C Warthog (1:03:44) (Drew / Vinny / Dave)

The funniest QL in a long time! Vinny + Drew + Dave is the best combo!

Vinny, Drew, Dave, 1 hr long?! Fuck yea!

Ehh, maybe. Russia seems more likely to me, but according to Wikipedia the developer actually has military clients.

I was being kinda funny. kinda. there is a market for these sorts of super raw simulators across most of europe, it's a niche that is very stable and safe. farm simulator has shelf space in my local game store still.

Sure, I'm from Germany so I would know, but I think Farm Simulator and company exploit a very different market. I don't think any self-respecting simulator fan plays trash like Farm Simulator.
These flight sims on the other hand are very impressive in their commitment to realism.

THAT FUCKING BEEPING ><

don't you talk about farm simulator like that! >:I

Haha, I'm sorry! I only judge it by its Quick Look and I stand by my comment.

"So, we're not in an arcade mode?
No, we're not.
Oh god."
The best quick look.

That's the beauty of digital distribution. The market doesn't have to be large to bring in lots of revenue over time. Just loyal.

 

[Xater]

This QL was awesome.

I wonder how fast can you actually get this thing to start. It must be able to do this much faster. Otherwise how would you start during an attack?

If you know all shortcuts you can probably do it pretty quickly. You don't have to slowly move the camera to look at switches in real life

 

[killer_clank]

oh my god the fire was the funniest thing ever.

 

[Justin]

How can a video game site be so filled with people who are terrible at games? They should at least read the manual before playing.

Which QL are you talking about?

 

[Justin]

Which QL are you talking about?

Combat Simulator: A-10C Warthog

Spoiler

I am joking

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Vinny, Dave, and Drew: Co-Pilots needs to be a regular series.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

EJECT! EJECT! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Combat Simulator: A-10C Warthog

Oh, I was going to say the fact that Drew had notes was pretty good for them. Of course it would have been impossible without the notes.

 

[Typographenia]

THAT FUCKING BEEPING ><

Hmm?

BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP

 

[soothe.]

i've been playing the 3DS Ace Combat game and having a lot of fun with it, but after watching that Quick Look. . . man.

 

[Dany]

I am sure that the GB crew isn't filled with dummies. I am sure if you see another website play a game straight through for 20 minutes to an hour, they are going to make some mistakes.

 

[Orgun]

"OH NO! No no no UP!"

Lol Drew

 

[Sleeplessnights]

Which previous Quick Look are they talking about that they've done before?

 

[Pancakes]

Haha, it's already on fire and they haven't taken off yet.

Flight sim wise you mean?

[Sleeplessnights]

What do you mean?

Vinny at the start says "Drew, how'd you get us back on a plane?" and Dave at 5:14 says "This looks even more complicated than [Drew talks over him]"

Flight sim wise you mean?

I hope so! Thanks.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Part of me wanted them to never make it up in to the air, haha.

One full hour of switch flipping and nothing but frustration.

This would be amazing.

 

[Winterblink]

Holy shit that's a good one. Gotta respect the folks who do this kind of thing in real life. Even with training, damn that's a lot of stuff to keep in mind in a combat situation.

 

[RomanticHeroX]

Not even 10 minutes in and this is already the best Quick Look.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Yeah, I was kinda expecting it to end with them finally getting on a runway and crashing at take off

[cuevas. PhD.]

What a fantastic Quick Look.

Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog Joystick, yours for the low price of $399.95

Look at that thing.

Don't buy a joystick vinny.

 

[panda21]

OMG THEY FINALLY DID IT

i've messaged Dave on the site asking them to do this before but I never thought they would!

DCS Black Hawk would be pretty awesome too, but probably best to start with A-10...

The REAL Quick Look (with their 45 minute attempt to fly the plane) is in their Justin.tv archives, IIRC.

 

[RomanticHeroX]

Don't buy a joystick vinny.

Not till he buys a racing wheel.

 

[Keyser Soze]

That was amazing. The few minutes they spent taking off after a half an hour of setting things out was tense - although if they botched it then I would have died laughing

I wonder would they ever do this...

...it is one of the few "simulator" games I heard about that I have not found solely through GB videos

It is supposed to be rubbish -

Spoiler

no pun

 

[Hot Coldman]

Hour long flight sim QL with Vinny, Drew and Dave? That should be subscriber only shit.

 

[SteveWinwood]

It is. And it is funnier than the quick look. Ya'll should dig that up.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

The Quick Look should have ended on 40 minutes when they were heading for the skies.

 

[dk_]

 

[Hot Coldman]

I was expecting something like the Simpsons episode where Homer gets into the cockpit of a plane.

 

[Dany]

The most tense quick look ever.

 

[chubigans]

My sides, they hurt so much. Such a great QL.

dk_, may want to hotlink that image instead of posting it like that. Ruins the surprise.

 

[FStop7]

A-10 is one of the best quick looks they've ever done.

Bought the hell out of the game, I love insanely detailed sims.
