My vision for VR flying is that device manufacturers develop a new system so that you can reach out in VR and put your hands on authentic feeling flight controls perfectly aligned with what you see in the headset. I think there is no substitute for tactile feedback either via a physical device or haptic simulation by people like ultrahaptics or VR gloves with haptic feedback neither of which are yet available for consumers. As a side venture I am actually working on a solution myself as i have no time for the current generation of VR controllers.
I fly in VR with my actual joystick/throttle and pedals. I always have them in the exact same spot (mounted). I have tried virtual controls in VR and found the lack of tactile... disturbing.

Beautiful model! Thank you!
One issue that I see is one that has been mentioned a couple times and that is many of the controls, levers, switches are difficult to manipulate in VR.
Looking forward to spending many hours exploring this one!

...limited fuel
-
Currently even when the fuel runs out the engines keep running. This is a safety precaution since there is no way to refuel yet or to set the correct fuel amount before the flight.
Is limited fuel and or user selected fuel amounts something that is planned for the future?
-
Which aircraft have working fuel systems? ie limited fuel with fuel flows etc.

We should be able to fly almost anywhere, shouldn’t we?
Does the 777 model fuel burn?
-
Beantown! I should have had that one. lol.
Hey are we going to be able to fly the Blimp?
-
Lots of water and scenic areas for flying low and slow.
Fresh water or salt?

Bonus points if you open bins.
787GTR is correct... it's considered "great" landing if you can use the plane again. It's a "good" landing if you can get the doors open.

Did you drop the o2 masks? if not... your ok.

Looks great. Quite realistic.

Beauty! Can't wait to see the cockpit!

Got me again!!

Thank you for the update! What was changed?

Hi there!
i have installed the update, but it seems that the new version is pretty buggy. For example sound doesn't work in general or R22 doors can't be opened with mousbutton.
Regards,
Ives
Thanks for the update. Sounds working for me. R22 door opens also. Click and push the door handle.

Same problem I had and reported in another thread, along with the fix.
See below.
However when using "Navigation" or "Location" options from the main menu the map is severely distorted. Horizontal lines through map. Turning Vulkan off fixes this**.
**Update to the above:
Fixed the distorted Vulkan graphics "Navigation" or "Location" map by going to: Graphics Quality Settings > Texture Quality > adjust from MED to HIGH. On Medium settings the MAP graphics are messed up, on HIGH they are A-OK.

Using Vulkan FPS seems smoother! Nice!

In proper knife edge, the fuselage is providing virtually all of the lift. Flat sided fuselage is best. The Pitts has a tiny rounded fuse.
…in theory, with sufficient fuselage side area (fuselage is now the lift device), lots of thrust, and a powerful rudder (to control the fuselage angle of attack), you could fly all day long in knife edge.
