This is because you have comfort mode active: It's there to keep you from getting motion sick and barfing!
You can turn it off but........ Hope you have a strong stomach.
After a Year of Flying games Space fighter games, DOOM 3 VR the only thing stat still gets me a bit queazy in VR is when i scale myself up or down in google earth.. Going from person sized to 10,000 feet tall is gut wrenching
Have you gone ridge gliding yet? One of my favorite flights is around lake Tahoe with a nice wind from the east.
If you like Ridge Gliding I suggest Logan-Cache, set your wind out of the East and have fun.
Awesome!!! Downloading now. Time to go Ridge soar around Logan Utah 
Any chance Colorado will be on the list one day?
Thanks so much for the hard work!
I haven't gone searching for Thermals much but the ridge soaring is pretty awesome as is.
I have essentially the same computer you do, 4790K, 16gb ram and a 1080 (was a 780). Aerofly runs smooth as silk in oculus VR with everything on ultra and flying through downtown New york city. The 4790K is going to be a great game cpu for a very long time to come, i wouldn't worry about that.
