In its current state, "I will not recommend". I made this review originally back in 2020. Its been 3 years since Last Update. This is a dead on arrival early access game. ------ [b] Shows promise in gameplay, but does need alot of work. Granted, This is an early access game which always, do come with their own risks which I take account to not recommending it. [/b] Here is my feedback: - Scales feel off off, while cockpit seems cramped as it should for a starfighter, it also feels like it is scaled for a kid for someone who is 182cm. Even the Main menu seems off, with the doors being build for folks that are 1.5m - The dogfighting feels abit slow atleast on the first two missions; perhaps due the turn rates, not being able to compensate due to the feeling of a lack of thrusters to push back for tighter turns like in E:D. Or perhaps this is to avoid players from accidentally going out of the mission area walls. This seems to occur too often - Size of Mission areas feels TINY. It i...

I enjoyed it! It scratched an itch i have had for a while now for a space ship sim. I am glad that it was the right amount of complexity to make you feel really in control but not spend and hour trying to do the tutorial. I love the warp sequences. The only real issue i have is that opening the cockpit is kinda pointless when u end the missions. I would also like to be able to interact with the ships controls/buttons after a mission so i could open the cockpit. I am lookin forward to more content!

so far, so good! great graphics, runs smooth with my 980ti card on my oculus rift cv1. i give it a big thumbs up and encourage y'all space dogfight flight sim nerds to give it a try! this is the closest freespace vr sim i've played to date. if this has or gets a mission creator app then i could see it really taking off with amazing mod campaigns like we've seen in the freespace community. i'm enjoying using the touch controllers and being able to interact with the cockpit. since it's such a new release there are some areas for improvement but it feels like a complete game all ready so don't let the following comments dissuade you, these are mostly things that i'm either being picky about or am guessing will be addressed in future updates. there are only 2 issues with the touch controls: 1. so far i find it's impossible to launch a missle in a dogfight because you have to reach out and touch the fire button on the aiming computer (i think it's called something other then aiming c...

pretty intense. love the game. placement of throttle is a little far to the left but other than that, awesome. pretty great for a starship game, with in cockpit tracking and targeting computer with zoom. highly recommend for anyonme trying to get a vr based, motion controller using starship game.

A fairly simple game with a learning curve. I quit playing shortly after downloading because it seemed to have glitches in the game play. For example, the firing would get locked in rapid firing and there was no way to turn it off.

I just love this VR game it's so realistic. Your really thinking your flying a space craft. A lot of interaction with the buttons to push and the controls. About time they make something like this.
