ave you ever dreamed of what it would be to soar like an eagle? Aquila lets you experience soaring bird flight using your virtual reality headset. Fly three types of eagle over three terrains, using Bing photography. Soar using thermals and ridges, with configurable wind direction and speed, and fly with other birds in multiplayer!
Aquila is made as a fund raiser for the Hawk Conservancy Trust, in the UK. Supporting this software will contribute to projects and research helping birds of prey in the UK and overseas.
This is a flight simulator: the physics are pretty good for more typical flying. Gamepad control is probably the easiest, followed by headset steering. Touch controllers give you direct control of the wings, so it is challenging but satisfying!
Check out the website for video tutorials, and keep the comfort mode on to start.

Comfort Mode brings real improvement. If you ever wanted to know what moved the Wright brothers to risk life and limb, then this will provide you with a very good idea.I've tried out the comfort mode and have not experienced any VR sickness, so that appears to work, for me at least.If you have any specific issues with the software, then i'd recommend letting Graeme know about it. I have found his commitment, to making this program the best it can be, to be of the highest order. By the way, i tend to use the 'headset' control method, which basically means you tilt your head to the left or right, look up or look down, to move in that direction. I wouldn't have a clue whether that is how real eagles do it, but it does seem fairly intuitive.

操作が難しい、コンテンツが足りない。努力は評価する。でも鳥の操作が難しすぎると思う。

Hard to control, not enough content. Congrats for the effort. I think the bird is too hard to control.
A VR bird sim that does real-world good. One of the easiest purchases for me not just because it is a rare flight simulator which allows you to fly as a bird using bird flight physics, and not just because it supports Oculus Touch in a unique way but because even at it's reasonable price it benefits real-world raptor conservation. Though it is being improved it works quite well as it is as a peaceful getaway to be able to literally spread your wings with your Touch controllers and soar as one of three species of eagle over Scotland, Columbia SA or Canada (BC) currently. Clearly a labor of love to its author, what a cool idea giving purchasers a peek into the secret world of what it is like to fly as a bird in order to fund a charity to aid them.Plus if you get the Oculus version you have the option to get a Steam key for the new OpenGL version he is working on there. It's a win-win.I am very prone to VR sickness issues, lately I had issues with a VR art museum experience just walking around yet I have had no issues whatsoever with Aquila so far.You have many choices of gallery apps to give you a unique VR experience, this one stands out in my opinion.
Getting Better. I may be the worst case scenerio for any game since I have the minimal system required, plus I don't like to tweak any settings. I've gotten used to things just working automatically. Then again, if it works for me then anyone should be able to use it. The latest update has really improved the comfort level so that I did not feel excessive dizziness unless I looked straight up while turning, which I did in trying to figure out how to soar and catch the thermals. The game is much more playable now and quite challenging, but I would still not recommend it to someone like myself who wants an easy play and no nausea.
Boring Controls. The movement is very slow, and not dynamic at all. Also, the terrain is pretty uninteresting, and there are no objectives in the game.
There was a very explicit, unnecessarily long tutorial, and I still don't think I understand how to use the controls.
You're much better off just donating to a bird conservation fund. It'll be faster that way.
