Folkbox1 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Anyone out there playing this game? My daughter got the Oculus for Christmas and i chipped in with this game. So far it is fun with 5 levels of difficulty, the graphics are ok and as a flight sim it doesn't seem too bad. There's a reasonable range of planes to choose from and you can fly as Entente Cordiale and Axis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I need other equipment and if so what? many thanks John🇺🇦 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles87 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Hi Nigel, thanks for the reply. I am interested in VR simulators in particular, SWMBO is going to give me one for my next birthday. I was lucky enough to fly in ( and fly ) a Spitfire four years ago and would like to re-create the experience. Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reasonable range of planes to choose from and you can fly as Entente Cordiale and Axis Not 'axis', unless the bad guys have time travelled from WWII. Triple Entente versus Central powers,. Common mistake. Not just nit-picking, because the Axis included Italy, whereas in the first go-round they were on our side. And the Entente Cordiale refers to agreements between France and Britain signed in 1904. Not that all that should affect the game. Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers John Would you be running the game from a PC or just using the processor and memory that is on board the VR headset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles87 Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Hi @nheather Sorry about the delay, been slightly preoccupied with non-BM related issues lately. I would probably be running mostly from a PC. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nheather Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Do you want a realistic simulator or an arcade style game? The WWI game you led with is very much an arcade style game and I would imagine would run quite happily direct on the goggles. If you want a realistic simulator you could look at the IL-2 range, you can get several Spitfires in there. The base game often appears on sale and can be had quite cheaply. Warning though Such a simulator needs a reasonable CPU and RAM configuration and if playing VR needs a powerful video card, more powerful then if just playing on a monitor because in VR it is effectively driving two screens. Also IL-2 is very realistic and therefore takes a little practice to fly. Another option is War Thunder where you play against other players. Plenty of aircraft to choose from and it is free to play. The flying is easier than in IL-2 and there are a few realism settings to choose. Free to play so nothing lost if you don’t like it. IL-2 really needs a joystick, War Thunder is better with a joystick but you can get by with a game controller. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nheather Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I was looking through Android Play Store and I notice that there is now a WW2 version of the WW1 that you first mentioned. Warplanes WW2 Dogfight I’ve not checked whether it is on other platforms but as the WW1 is (I play it on the Nintendo Switch) I suspect that it is widely available, possibly even for direct install on your headset.

Mike Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Is that the same as this one here? https://store.steampowered.com/app/1546500/Warplanes_WW1_Fighters/ I've played it for an hour on the simplest arcadey settings, and quite enjoyed it. I'll probably have another go next time I'm feeling a bit VR-y. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
