VTOL VR puts you in the cockpit of near-future military aircraft, including a tilt-jet, a fighter-attack jet, and a stealth STOVL jet. Use tracked VR controllers to operate the virtual stick and throttle and reach for cockpit buttons and switches.
Fly combat missions that test navigation, situational awareness, and aircraft handling. Choose equipment such as guns, rockets, missiles, and bombs, and use systems including radar, targeting displays, countermeasures, and head-directed targeting. Other activities include vertical landings, carrier operations, and aerial refueling.
Practice in tutorials, fly freely, or take on built-in missions and campaigns, alone or in online PvE and PvP. Command AI wingmen, fly with other players, or use the mission and map editors to create custom scenarios to play and share.
Players often praise the hands-on VR cockpit, where reaching for controls makes flying feel immersive, and the mix of approachable basics with deeper flight and weapon systems. Reviews also highlight multiplayer and community-made missions as ways to add variety. Some players find the systems challenging to learn and would like more aircraft or missions.
VTOL VR is a near-futuristic combat flight game built specifically for Virtual Reality. Pilot advanced multi-role jets, using your hands to flip switches, press buttons, and manipulate the virtual flight controls. Take on a wide array of challenges that will put your flight skills, situational awareness, and combat tactics to the test.
No extra hardware is required. If you have a VR set with tracked controllers, then you have a virtual cockpit where you can reach out and interact with the stick and throttle, flip switches, press buttons, and even pull the eject handle if things go wrong.
Immerse yourself in action packed combat missions, delicate vertical landings, aircraft carrier operations, aerial refueling and more.
Create and fly custom missions which you can share with other pilots using the built-in mission editor and map editor.
