VR Airplane

There were hardly any flight simulators for virtual reality, so I started building one. VR suits flying perfectly, because flight turns gravity on its head: imagine a sharp turn on the approach to your airport. Something feels off. Shouldn’t gravity be pulling you down?

I started with the cockpit and its controls, with all the flight data on small screens. Later versions got scripted physics to fly the plane, and the prototype reached a flyable state.
