I'm playing this game on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers and this game can be quite exhilarating and frustrating. It takes a while to learn how to glide and especially with touch controllers, your arms will get tired. However, it's very majestic to "glide" in the air and just experience the wonder of the terrain. However, I keep crashing to the ground (but there are options to make flight easier). The graphics are not the best, but they are good enough to give you that feeling of wonder. With just a few tweaks this game could be perfection. I hope the dev keeps improving this game. It's off to a great start and I hope it only gets better from here. Given the price, I highly recommend this game. I felt absolutely no nausea during the 30 minutes I played this game and can't wait to get back in the air. Just need to nail down the gliding so I can experience more of the game. But I needed to give kudos to the dev for the solid start to this early access game. Rating 8/1...

Not very Good Kept Crashing Into Mountain side Plus I Was Inside The Eagle . I Like The Idea Of Soaring Like A Bird , but This Was Not It

I have played this game a lot and really enjoy it. The developer is adding new features all the time - just recently rain and other weather were added and before that, fishing! Would be great if we can get even more players for the group flies as that's really fun. Some tips: Press o to see a third-person view and keep toggling o for more views. Good for screenshots. Press t to teleport to a random tree. Good for getting to other players on the public server. Practice ridge lift! Ridge lift is a good place to do aerobatics in and such! Right now you can only fish in a couple lakes. If you play in Scotland, fly left from the starting point up the river valley to the big long lake. That will have fish in it! Hold down R+L triggers to catch fish in the lake while flying over one. You can even drop fish on other players by releasing triggers! (These are for xbox controllers)

Aquila Bird Flight Simulator is a very mediocre "flight sim" with a twist... you're controlling a bird. This is an unusual concept that might even work well if implemented well... and here, it isn't. Before we get into just how terrible the flight controls are, it's important to note this is a kind of "sandbox" game with no real objective or reason to want to play it. Let's talk about how terrible the flight controls are... thankfully there's options to change the control axes but they're still somehow both over and undersensitive at the same time. You'll find yourself erratically plunging into the ground, flying upside down (yeah, birds can't do that). The controls and game handling are notably very clunky and unsmooth here. It's janky and unsatisfying to play... and any experienced gamer will tell you, the handling, responsiveness and general gameplay feel of the control scheme must be well polished for this kind of game to succeed. Unfortunately, this is something the develo...

This game is great fun for anyone that likes the idea of gliding around like a bird for a while. The controls have a bit of a learning curve, but the experience has been well worth it to me. My arms are tired after a few hours of flying today, but I'll be back again another day.

Good thing I wait till the big discount! Apparently this has been abandoned! After several attempts to use different controls! I think It's going to set a while till I have more time to look at the roots of this game and better understand what makes it tick! At first I can fly about 20 mtrs or so before setting back on the ground. I have Birds that like to fly in a circle rather than a straight-line. I try turning to the left and they are going to the right! See no options to calibrate any of my controllers! in Other programs I have for flight I haven't had any trouble. Must be a GLITCH! OK for less than a Dollar!!!

To be honest, i did not practised that much yet, but, i think i can tell, this simulator has potential. Okey, here and there its behavior is quite strange and the landscape is a quite simple textured surface, but hey, its early access - and i am very happy to be able to try it right now. The first thing i hat to do is disabling the comfort-options, otherwise it felt absolutely wrong. It is quite challenging to get used to the controls and spreading your wings .. eh, i mean arms, with the controllers in your hands for a longer time is not that easy too, but you have to go through that. With eagle flight - which might be my favorite game for now - i leaned to move freely in a 3 dimensional room, but that is "just" a "simple" point and fly, i think this simulator is or will get more realistic. Even if it looks very stupid for the first time you learn to fly here - move your wings.. arms in a circular pattern, this might come quite close to what real birds have to do to fly. Sitting on a ...

Very cool and immersive. Actually feels like you're an eagle. You flap your wings with the Vive controllers and it's actually a workout too! I like centering the camera slightly behind the bird for more of a 3rd person view because the model for the actual bird looks awesome. Amazing feeling being perched in a tree...as a bird.

I've only dipped my talons, er, toes into this game but I'm giving it a recommend because (a) the dev is clearly a great guy and very responsive and friendly to the user base, and (b) bird flying games are just insanely cool and everyone should try one and (c) the game may not be quite there yet, but it shows awesome promise. Everyone should have a bird flight sim in their VR library. Or two. Or more. This one is clearly still in beta, but coming along with active coding happening, frequent updates, and a lot of nice communication with players. What it has: Multiplayer. Good Physics. Nice Bird Models. Three different terrains. Day/Night Cycle. Good VR support (at least with Oculus Quest 2 which is what I'm using). Random Weather. Pretty Skybox. Ornithologically Accurate Controls. A Tutorial. User Configurable Options. Fish You Can Catch (no kidding!). Convection Updraughts on Ridges (and sometimes other places where maybe they shouldn't really be, but hey, who's count...
