    I don't know if this is the right forum for this post or if it should better be under "News", because the game has not been released yet. So please feel free to move it.

    I am following the news about Ultrawings for quite some time, and today I found this new video which goes beyond the original half-minute teaser:
    http://www.ign.com/videos/2017/02/01/ultrawings-vr-that-makes-you-feel-like-youre-flying

    I read somewhere that the release date will probably be in early February and I can't wait to try it, because it is the first flight simulator making use of the Oculus Touch controllers.

    I hope that one of you geniuses will create a plugin soon after the game is available. :)

    that's an impressive concept but graphically not enough realistic

    Well, maybe the lack in graphical realism will be compensated by the gain in immersion when using the Oculus Touch controllers. I will definitely give it a try.

    Yes, I already did some time ago before I learned that the release is still pending. But I will renew my plugin request as soon as the game is available.

    Simulation AAA titles are now common, others like Fallout 4 are to blaze the AAA VR path this year.
