For someone's senior school project, it's pretty impressive. For a game that's not free, it's terrible. I see a lot of reviews complaining they can't get out of the seat adjustment screen where you start. It's weird but you click the back arrow on the top left of the screen. I also saw a complaint about not being able to switch between SAE and ISO controls- you can, it's on the gear icon settings menu. I've used various excavators and want to get more fluid at the controls, so I tried this. Unfortunately, at least on Oculus Rift S, there is no deadzone in the controls so all the controls are constantly wandering around a little. This is the real killer for me, you're always making micro adjustments to stop some motion (and all you can succeed in is reducing it). If you could use a gamepad, or even the sticks on the VR controllers instead of grabbing sticks in VR, this game would be good training. Honestly don't care that there's no game beyond the dig tutorial as that's all I ...

About This Game
Excavator Simulator VR is a short showcase of what it feels like to operate a giant 90 tonne excavator in either ISO or SAE control patterns. This includes real-time digging, boom/bucket movement, and tank-like movement. Explore levels to climb up hills or dig a mega hole to the ocean. There are no limits even if you prefer not to complete the levels.
Ever wondered what the difference between heavy machinery controls is or want to improve your excavation skills while in the office? After a few hours of gameplay you will be the best virtual operator there is. You will be able to control an excavator in either ISO and SAE control patterns without hesitation.
Want to dig a hole or go swimming in your excavator? There is nothing stopping you from doing anything. Go dig that swimming pool of your dreams or pile up a mountain of dirt.
No extra hardware is required. If you have a VR headset compatible with SteamVR, then you have a virtual cab and can interact with joysticks and levers using your virtual work gloves. You do not even need to have audio speakers as there is no audio currently in the game.
It is suggested to sit in a chair while playing this game to reduce potential for motion sickness. Similar guidelines as racing VR games.
*Note that this game is mostly intended for showcase and education purposes so it only contains three tutorial levels all of which are open world (meaning you are not limited by the tutorial itself).
**This game is not a substitute for proper excavation training and is only intended as an introductory course on the basics of excavator controls. Virtual training may aid in actual excavator operation.
