Massive FPS hit in VR for a an older system. Cannot use because of this, although would love to have a good power-line representation for VFR. My PC specs: VR- Oculus Quest 2 Win 10, 64bit i7-4790K 32G Ram Geforce 2080Ti
For whatever reason, airplane spawn a few feet off the ground and then falls down. Airports also spawn this plane with a few feed off the ground and it just floats there. When spawning in mid air, all systems are on except for the fuel tank switch being in the off position which immediately starts chocking the engine. Also for whatever reason autopilot is on by default when spawning mid air. Feels very heavy compared to other aircraft, but since I don't have any real world experience I can't ding points for it as it may very well be exactly how it handles. Overall very nice aircraft except for the above points. Hoping they will get patched out.
A bit of a frustrating experience. Biggest frustration is the change of the aircraft as the lessons progress. First 2 lessons are done in one plane, and you get used to where the instruments are, the behavior of the airplane, etc. 3rd lesson for no apparent reason you are thrown into a completely new aircraft and since the missions start mid-air, already flying, you have seconds to orient yourself and figure out what the new dashboard means. Not only that but the chose aircraft has a weird dial for the RPM and Airspeed, combining the two, and it took me a minute to figure out that the bigger numbers were RPM and not airspeed. On top of it, it seemed to be a bit more twitchy in response which added to the frustration even further. Really not a good idea to start in the sky for these missions, at least the first few beginner ones. Even worse idea to be throwing a what is to be expected a new user into new aircraft every few missions. Since the missions are relatively short, it would be better to start from ground like in an actual school, and get you to the point in the air where you can start executing the maneuvers. And keep your pupil in the trainer aircraft so that he/she can concentrate on the lesson and not learning new plane while trying to digest information thrown at them. Some of the instructions are also a bit off and vague. While descending in the second lesson, instructor starts talking about waving off, which I interpreted as an instruction to do so. Apparently it was just an explanation of what it was and I expected to continue descending. This pattern seems to repeat itself, without a clear differentiation between an instruction to follow and a general overview of the concepts. Finally, and there really no way around this so I cannot ding the creators for this, but since the instructions are simple per-recorded audio messages that get triggered based on your position, airspeed and altitude, you have a relatively thin margin or error in case you miss the trigger to initiate the next step of the instructions. Given all the feedback from above, it is relatively easy to miss these triggers as you may be struggling with new aircraft, unclear directions and just overall learning process.
