![]() While all flight sims come with default aircraft, most enthusiasts use 3rd party solutions from studios who develop highly detailed models for multiple sims. Flicking switches, adjusting levers and even controlling the stick can all be done with your hands. Using Touch controllers in the mod for FSX felt tacked on and glitchy, but in the standalone it now feels native. You can use your VR controllers as virtual hands, Leap Motion to use your fingers directly, or the traditional option of a HOTAS (joystick). The sim lets you decide which input device you want to use. In our brief testing we found performance to be adequate on a GTX 970 with only a few hitches- noticeably better than the mod for Flight Simulator X. In VR low framerate feels sickening, so must be a priority. Performance has been a key focus for the team’s custom engine. FlyInside standalone is tackling these issues by building from the ground up for VR. Performance is sub par, the menus are difficult to operate, and a lot of functionality is almost impossible while essentially blindfolded, requiring complex keyboard mappings. However, the fact that VR was an afterthought in these sims is often all too obvious. Through either mods or official updates, all major PC flight simulators today have some form of VR support. The project raised more than double its $13,500 goal, unlocking Leap Motion support as a stretch goal, as well as support for Prepar3D, a newer flight simulator based on the FSX codebase. TrackIR is a useful middle ground, but is awkward for large movements since it isn’t 1:1 and the monitor is still stationary.įlyInside originally began in 2015 as a Kickstarter for a mod for Flight Simulator X (FSX). Even from a practical perspective, looking around a cockpit naturally with your head is far easier than using a hat switch or D-pad. Virtual reality is well suited for cockpit sims, providing a sense of depth and scale monitors simply can’t match. FlyInside is a made for VR flight sim which supports Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and Windows MR heasdsets. After almost two years of development, FlyInside Flight Simulator has launched in Early Access on Steam. ![]()
