VTOL VR is an analog fighter game with a background of the near future. It recently released a preemptive trial version on Steam. In less than 2 months after launch, it has achieved a positive rate of 96%. It is currently Steam. Rate one of the best VR games on the list.
However, from the perspective of the screen, this game is not very good, and even the material modeling looks a little rough and does not have much beauty. So why is this kind of rough VR new as what can be enjoyed by so many VR game players? With this question, let's learn about this next-generation flight simulation game. (Text: 17173VR_Right)
PS: "The near future" refers to the future based on the existing level of science and technology, generally within the next few decades.
From the initial version, it can be seen that the development team of "VTOL VR" has made many considerations for the newly-introduced VR players. Although the current menu function is still under development, it is expected that more drivable aircraft, tutorials and Task level. The highlight of the game is the aircraft's clickable cockpit and seat system. When you wear a VR headset, you will feel that you are actually driving an aircraft. The large number of buttons and switches in the cockpit may seem complicated. Rest assured, this is not a type of flight simulation of DCS WORLD. Simplified mode power and manipulation are much more friendly to new players.
Developers also said that in order to facilitate the interaction of different controls, you must also require that the text be sufficient to display in VR without requiring the player to move his head frequently. No matter where the player's head is, a head-up display projected in infinity can be seen in the VR.
In the background of the game is the near future, the developer Paolo Encarnacion said that in the future there will be more creative and fictional aircraft design.
Efficient Motion Control Simulation Flight Game
What's interesting about VTOL VR is its motion control system. Unlike traditional simulated flying games, games do not require the purchase of throttles and steering levers that specialize in simulated flight games. Instead, they are the HTC Vive or Oculus control handles. In the game, the player sits in the cockpit and the control handle is the player's hand, allowing the player to freely manipulate various buttons and switches. Once you grab the virtual joystick and throttle in the game, the system will determine that you will Using them and automatically shifting to control of the joystick and throttle, there is still a large range to manipulate them, so even if you put the control handle on your knees or legs as the shaft to handle it, there is no problem. Combined with subtle tactile feedback, the feedback is also very sensitive when you tilt the joystick, certainly not as accurate as a dedicated controller.
In a conventional simulation flying game, the only effective way to interact with the actual cockpit is to set up a physical cockpit on a specific plane and then click buttons and switches with the input keys or with the mouse. The "VTOL VR" cockpit does not have such a complex physical cockpit simulation. The "VTOL VR" control scheme means that the player can separate himself from the master controller and perform each of them in an immersive manner in the VR. Manipulated interactions.
Taking into account the complexity of the "VTOL VR" (vertical takeoff and landing) flight mechanics, the need for precise manipulation of the joystick by the player, as well as the management of the throttle and the angle of the engine, indicates that the aircraft in the game still has difficulty in driving. , but the game has achieved a more sensible balance between playability and deep simulation. Without flight assistance, some sophisticated maneuvers (such as vertical landing) are no small challenge even for experienced analog flying enthusiasts. Fortunately, the latest version update improved the hover and height control, even if the rookie can follow the tutorial for a smooth landing.
Excellent gameplay based on levels
The task structure is very simple, provide briefings in advance, and allow players to configure the weapons before the attack. When each task is completed, it can unlock additional challenges to new weapons, of course, the difficulty will rise. The initial task only requires the player to make a smooth landing. Each time the player completes a part of the mission, new targets and waypoints will be displayed on the HUD.
After several transportation missions, the player can directly confront the enemy and the teammate AI has a high level of control. The task is also more difficult. The game also has a lot of manipulation skills, such as how to hide the missile lock, how to make anti-biting maneuvers, players can use the fast action mode to hone the technology.
Development progressed smoothly
Developing a unique VR simulation flying game is not difficult for an independent producer, but Paolo Encarnacion has a wealth of experience. He also produced the famous module "BDArmory" for the "Kanbara Space Program." Many of the game's weapon systems and pilot's AI came from BDArmory, and most other systems were written from scratch.
For such a complex game, the development progress was unexpected. “VTOL VR†was officially developed in July 2016. Although the current image quality is not very high, many core visual elements that directly influence flight have been put in place. Such as volume clouds, glare suns, neat canopy reflections and very practical HUDs.
At present, Encarnacion is designing teaching and battle levels so that pilots can learn vertical flight, air-to-air refueling, missile attack, night flight and other operations.
In addition, Encarnacion said that the game has a long plan, and he will always maintain the MOD's production.
In addition, he added: "The game will also need at least one flightable aircraft, such as an ultra-high-speed fighter, as well as the aircraft's exclusive mission. In addition, there will be more unique weapons to choose from, and more. The flight environment and a scene editor allow players to create their own missions and share with each other.I used to be a mod developer and I think a game has more possibilities the better, so I will be in this direction Develop."
