This update brings something I've wanted for a long time to Aquila... Multiplayer!

BUT ... please please please... if you're new to Aquila and playing in VR, check out these tutorial videos. It is a *must* particularly if you're using motion controllers.

You'll find them here: YouTube Tutorial Playlist

Other notes:
- If playing in Multiplayer, *please* change your birds name. :) Cuillin is the default.
- "Join Official Server" button will join my server here. To start, I'll keep it online as much as I can. If it won't connect, that's because it's off. It will be off when I'm working on it... we're not at a version 1.0 yet!
- You can host your own server, and others can join yours. Servers are capped at 16 players at the moment, until stability can be proven. I'm using Mirror for multiplayer, which is capable of more players in theory. Demo users can join the official server, or others, but they will still have a time limit. If the server is not hosting the Scotland map, a demo user will not be able to connect. You can't host with the demo version.
- Note: You need to change your name, or enter server addresses, using the keyboard on your PC screen. You can't type purely in VR.
- There is no in-game chat/'teamspeak' yet. Working on that one still...

Soon I hope to schedule an event to get a few birds flying together. I will announce this.

Hope to see you in game soon. Get in touch if I can help. :)

Community13 Mar 2026Another progress update!Another video to show progress - sorry it's a bit long! Feel free to skip along - forest ambience is at 1:30 ish and the ocean at 3:30 - the rest is me having a jolly around the island. It's also a VR capture so excuse me looking around. 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…
