VR - Express your first impressions

Im impressed for a first release for VR they have done a great job, it took some tweaking to get it running smooth but then most VR flight Sims do and after playing DCS and Il2 in VR since they released ASOBO have done a really good job, but there is work still to do.

The good

Feels great in VR, the experience is incredible of being in a plane and the clouds and surrounds look fantastic, just how realy flights I have done look, the world looks fantastic and because its using real ground textures VFR in VR is great.

Bush flying in BC is a wonderful experience now, and id happily say the VR experience is the best out of the other big 2 for me DCS & IL2 as far as just flying goes.

Being able to switch in and out of VR with a single key, this is a game changer for VR sims.

The bad

The mouse implementation use is rubbish, it floats above the glass cockpit in place is hard to use on some switches, its cumbersome at best, DCS has the best VR mouse implementation and hopefully ASOBO will look at it.

Default head positions for most planes are wrong, either too low or of to the left, you need to map keys to bring your eye point to the correct place most times before you fly, if you hit re-center VR it defaults back to the incorrect view. I cant believe this one got through beta testing.

No ability to be able to save the view to set your new VR eyepoint as a default, I know you can make a new camera position but that’s not the point.

Overall 7/10 for me with small but important VR issues that need to be fixed.
