FlyInside Flight Simulator

Turn around, here lies an abandoned game. A buggy, unsatisfying mess.

Game has potential but would not work properly for me, the low altitude terrain is early 2000s quality. and the game decided to go through the first time startup routine every time I ran it which is rather annoying. If they improve the terrain and get more planes available it will be a pretty solid game, but currently its a $35 rough demo.

Had the flyinside for XPlane and worked really well so picked up their sim and it also does not dissapoint and works very well with my vive. Getting great frame rates and comes with a good host of aircraft with great 3D cockpits with convincing sounds & flight handling. These guys seem to know a lot about flight sims and VR and I am looking forward to how this sim develops in the future. I applaud the developers for their commitment and passion for this title and it shows with each and every update this truly has the making of something exceptional in the flight sim space and deserves to be acknowledged and supported with the same respect that these guys give back. Just as VR is getting stale & repetitive its title likes this that for me give VR hope! Since the latest update the scenery looks amazing!!!

Very early access, may be worth it later but for now be forewarned this is not a vr simulator you can currently play with motion controllers alone, although it would be hard to tell that from the way it's presented in thier materials. I am disappointed that the motion controller stuff feel very buggy, with many commands not accessable from the controller. Instead, one must drill down thru multiple monochromatic windows to do things, quite immersion-busting. Also there is no button bound by default to re-center the HMD position?! Seriously, guys that's like VR dev 101. Use a radial menu or something please...

Overpriced garbage! Project is probably dead as well and if it isn't then it doesn't stand a chance against msfs 2020.

Some time ago situation was simple and there were two dominant civil simulators - FSX and X-plane. Than aging FSX was abandoned and X-plane became prominent simulator. And than came the VR and mixed all the cards. This review is from VR perspective only. For the complexity, flight models, systems and ATC is X-plane still best product in the market by far. But regarding VR experience it is not as simple.I will try to quickly compare Flyinside with it's civil VR competitors - X-plane and Aerofly FS2 X-plane scenery: global, but autogen scenery not suitable for VFR. Your only orientation is road network weather: complex, supports real life weather performance: not well optimized for VR, micro stuttering and performance drops planes: supports additional planes, most planes have good looking cockpits with functional switches Aerofly FS2 scenery: does not have global scenery, just several free and several paid areas, that varies in quality. Basically they are photoreal, with added mo...

FlyInSide Orginally started as VR 3rd Party Plug-in/Add-on for FSX/P3D & Xplane, The devs are now going to build a Sim around their VR software, This right now is more of a technical demo for VR users, I personally can see huge protential here, FlyInside can use this to hugly tweak and advance there current VR foundation. on that note this isn't a full World sim. Its aimed at VR first.. In its current state treat it as a Techinical DEMO for VR and not much more then that... Look forword to see updates for this title

Abandoned and unfinshed

You know, I understand that early access games have issues, and I'm normally okay with it, but that reasoning only goes so far, and anything beyond that is unacceptable, which is a territory where this flight sim is starting to tread. It does show a lot of potential, and the VR is pretty smooth despite the high level of graphical details, but there's so many really basic things that don't work at all, or work very poorly that it hardly matters. At least one of the aircraft causes the sim to freeze after 5 minutes, every time, so it's basically unusable. (This bug has been around for months, and even the most recent update still didn't fix it.) The Bell 407 has a starter switch that doesn't work at all, so you can't do a realistic shutdown and startup. The instrument lights in the 407 cannot be controlled manually, and the last patch broke them so they illuminate during the day, but not at night... and I don't even know where to start with that bullshit. I mean, really? The GPS units do...

It's ok. They have couple of planes and scenarios which work fine. But very less scenarios and some of them doesn't work well and glitchy. They should hurry up and make this better ASAP before microsoft flight simulator or someone else does a fantastic job on VR soon. Need more scenarios and guidance to fly the bigger jets (step by step instructions like in the 1st scenario). Video clarity should be a bit better too. Hard to see the guages and read what 's on it, unless you really lean into the guages.
