And just because the R22 is the first
helicopter release for Aerofly FS2 doesn't mean that it will lack
quality, quite the opposite actually. The quality and craftsmanship
that was put into the development of the R22 surpasses anything ever
developed before.
The Robinson R22 also has physics that
are so precise you would swear that you were flying the real bird,
especially in VR. With an Oculus Rift and Touch Controllers you can have one of the best experiences ever seen in a flight simulator to date.
The Aerofly FS2 R22 was designed with
the professional and novice in mind featuring both a beginner mode
that provides more stability and balance when you fly allowing you to
fly while enjoying the surrounding scenery, and a professional mode
that handles just like the real life counterpart. Whichever
mode you choose you can be sure that you will have the experience of a
lifetime.
We are confident that the R22 will add
many new hours of excitement and exploration. How will you spend your
time?

Thanks, AFS2 is one of the first, if not the first VR apps I picked up when I was using my DK1. Just got the update and will try it soon. Nice looking flight decks but I agree, pretty mundane scenery. A chopper will be a welcome addition.
FSX is still great looking in 3D on the projector, can't really get it to look as good in VR even with VorpX
Some really great looking flight sims right now in VR. I saw a pretty close to photorealistic video on youtube of a guy playing DCS World in VR. Going to have to try that real soon. Downloading XPlane 11 now, thanks for the tip.
Some other VR flight sims that are SSD drive space worthy are:
VTOL., touch supported so that your hands are in the game needing to do everything from flicking the toggle to turn on the battery and APU to handling the flight stick and throttle. I do really love that level of touch support and salute the devs that deploy that.
I also salute the devs that support HOTAS and direct input joysticks for flight sims.
Worlds at war is another one I'm really warming up to that I've been playing with my Thrustmaster.
A big disappointment with some current game franchises, like EA's Battlefield and SW Battlefront, are so dependant on X-input, that it's next to impossible to configure either of my joysticks even with emulators for those games. The last thing I want to do is play flight sims with an X-box controller or mouse and keyboard.
Great to see VR move in a different direction.
