VTOL VR review

VTOL VR has the highest player rating on this list, with 98% of 17,173 English Steam reviews positive. Boundless Dynamics built it specifically for virtual reality: you reach out to the stick and throttle with tracked controllers, flip switches, press buttons and even pull the eject handle, so no extra flight hardware is needed. The fleet is small but varied, with the AV-42C tilt-jet, the F/A-26 fighter and attack jet and the F-45A stealth STOVL jet. Missions include carrier operations, aerial refueling and vertical landings, and systems cover radar, targeting pods, flares, chaff and a head-mounted cueing system. Built-in mission, campaign and map editors feed Steam Workshop, and online multiplayer supports PvP and PvE. It ranks seventh because it requires a PC VR headset, offers only three fictional aircraft and asks players to learn real cockpit interactions, which slows the start.
