Merry Christmas!

Aquila Bird Flight Simulator · published 7 years ago

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

A quick update for you. I wanted to say a big Merry Christmas to you! Thank you for your support over the last year, whether you have purchased Aquila or helped me with testing new stuff.

Work is still ongoing on the SteamVR/OpenVR version. The good news is that visually it now matches the new Oculus version. The bad is that the way SteamVR now handles controllers has completely changed, and I'm finding it extremely awkward. Plus I use the seated environment, and it's very difficult to simply 'reset' the view. It's quite incredible, and very disheartening. However I'm still working on it, and making slow progress.

In the meantime, here is a video showing me giving myself a workout, and intercepting Santa's sleigh to find a present... this feature is in the current live version of Aquila in December and January of course, albeit without the fancy sky and the newer bird physics.

Thank you again, and Merry Christmas!

I'm now using the Crest ocean system. It looks amazing (especially at sunrise/sunset coupled with Enviro 3), but I have a few tweaks to make. Also I've added s…Community18 Feb 2026An overhaul on the way...So it's been a long time coming, and after a prolonged silence. For that I apologise. I've dabbled with Unreal Engine, then come back to Unity with it's more evolved functionality with VR, and I've been working on an overhauled version of Aquila. There is still plenty to do, but with this video hopefully it gives you an idea of what I want to achieve with it. I'm not finished of course, and the…Community5 Mar 2022Welcome, to the real world...Firstly I must apologise for the lack of much of anything on the Aquila front recently. Basically, as you may know, I was furloughed from my main job as a commercial pilot for nearly 2 years. They now want me, and a few hundred of my colleagues, back to work for what they expect will be a busy summer. The long and the short of it is I've been insanely busy studying a new aircraft, as well as tr…
