I need to get an idea of how Aquila will cope with more players, and just give everyone a chance to fly together and see how it works out. :)

Therefore I will be online and ingame from 9pm uk time (8pm UTC), certainly for a couple of hours with the odd break or two. I’ll set up for a maximum of 32 players, and see how we go... the system running as dedicated server is an older Falcon Northwest i7 4770, 16gb ram, ssd and a GTX 1070 ... on a 500Mbps internet connection. It should cope!

Feel free to take video, screenshots, share them here... I’d love to see all of it. Even the bugs.

Down the line more such events will follow, using whatever features are added. Still early days yet, but simply flying in a group could be awesome? Team speak is next on my hit list, if it can be done...

Please check out the Tutorial Videos for a control guide, particularly for motion controllers in VR. The ingame tutorials cover the bare minimum, and not everything.

The playlist can be found here: Aquila YouTube Tutorial Playlist

Hope to see you online. Feel free to get in touch if I can help in the meantime.

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…
