News* Flying Aces is now available for the Oculus Rift
Landing on an aircraft carrier in Virtual Reality is harder than it looks. Compete against pilots from around the world as you try to achieve the top score. Do you have what it takes to climb the leaderboard? Should you be successful, your landing will be graded on a scale of 1 to 100. Your score depends on various criteria, including the weight of the wheels at landing, your proximity to the center of the arrestor cables, your wing pitch at landing, and the arrestor cable your hook latches on to.
The F/A 18 cockpit is modeled accurately and features full touch controls. Raise and lower the throttle, move the flight stick, lower the landing gear, and more.
Is this real life?. The controls are a bit shaky in the beginning, but you'll quickly learn not to push the stick to hard and it becomes second nature. I've never been a fighter pilot, and I probably never will, but for just 2 bucks it really feel like I'm in the cockpit. It's an amazing experience just looking around you while in flight, and my brains fooled as I phyiscally experience every turn I make. Awesome! Only point of critque are the shaky controls when pulling the levers, doesn't always register intuitively. They did a nice job with the graphics, especially the water looks very realistic. A way to supersamble HMD resolution would be a great addon for visual clarity. Highly recommended!

Great! This is a great little game for $2. I've spent way more time than the intentended goal of the game, which is to land a fighter jet onto an aircraft carrier perfectly. The landing 'main' game is definitely a challenge and takes loads of practice and is fun, but the real gem is the final tutorial. The third tutorial is essentially a free-fly for 15min. I like to fly through the first ring and then straight at the island in the distance, ignoring the rest of the tutorial. On the far side of the island there's a run-way, and I like to land there (as perfectly as I can), then take off. There's a couple of cruise ships out further from the island, and they make excellent markers to line up an approach for the landing. Maybe repeat a landing there, or just cruise around, return to the tutorial...maybe. There's many small fishing boats if you cruise down low to the water, an oil drill rig, submarines, etc. other interesting stuff to see. Not much else to do really, but the sensation of flying a fighter jet is very cool. One last cool tip, before taking off in Tutorial 3, get up out of your chair and check out the fighter jet you're flying. If you have enough space in your room, you can actually walk all around it!

Fun experience! I have downloaded many short VR experiences but this one is the best. Worth the 2 dollars I spent on it.

Pretty good sim. Fun sim but pretty lightweight in avionics. Carrier landings are a little more precise than depicted here. Have airspeed and altitude, along with targeting info in the hud would be helpful. Flipping switches for APU and engine start is novel. Engine noise is pretty one- dimensional. More cockpit accuracy would make this an outstanding sim.

5 stars for such a light flight sim. If you love the immersive experience to fly a jets in cockpit while not bother to seriously gear up with full details/techinics with X-Plane or P3D, you might wanna try this quick one. Though I occasionaly fly with mentioned 2 simulators plus DCS, still bought this one for quick play and landing on a carrier. It's just fun and nice experience. Graphics is good. I wish landing could be more realistic...as the rate of succssuful touching down is way too high. ;-)
Brake lever conflicts with flaps. Great starting, tried tutorial, but the Brake lever conflicts with the flaps, I could only release brakes once, can not continue because brake lever will not move when grabing according to tutorial . Please fix interaction precision, then you can ask for a higher price. will update to 5 stars after cockpit switches are operational. Thanks !
how to take off???. Omg did everything but the pop up pop up and you cant see the button, this nis hard, very sensitive kept restarting so frustrating please make it easier lol

Oculus Rift S. 楽しい、乗り物酔いアラート。 ターンで頭を水平線に向けたところを見つけた。助かった.. ジョイスティックをつかんだら手首を回転させてください。引っ張ろうとしないでください。 機能を少しオフにして、落ち着いてスピードを切ってスイッチは使用できます、ランディングギア/フラップ/。 もし私が最初に病気でなければ、もっと戻る。
