Yes, this is early access, yes work is being done on it, but it shouldn't be permitted to submit a game for paid Early Access when the fundamentals of the game do not work.

Non-VR Review:
I went into this not expecting anything amazing and I wasn’t disappointed.
The opening “airshow” was absolutely spectacular, not the scripted sequence of the show itself, the fact the 3 planes spawned in the sky from nowhere and instantly slammed into the runway, exploding in a ball of fire as the announcer exclaims “Just look at the skill and coordination of our pilots!”.

Next we were treated to ragdoll physics on a epic scale with bodies rocketing across the room at the slightest touch.

Then finally, after being the only “volunteer” to be trusted with saving the world where the skilled and coordinated pilots previously failed, we’re asked to go and recover weapons for our plane.

Invisible weapons apparently as they failed to spawn, meaning, yes you guessed it, this is a fighter jet sim, with 0 weapons!

Then we get in the plane and are asked to flip various switches to power everything up and set the coordinates into our nav map……the coordinates, where are ethe coordinates, hello coordinates?

At this stage you will do 1 of 4 things

1) Bail out, uninstall and use the Hide option in your Steam library to mask the shame of trying this – this is the preferred option.

2) Put any old number in as coordinates, it’ll accept it.

3) Get bored and just take off. At some point you’ll be playing with the displays and hit another button on the display that shows you more information including the word coordinates next to a set of familiar numbers you’ve seen somewhere else.

4) Somehow, using the power of the Gods themselves, figure out that the numbers at the top right of your screen marked “UPGRADES” that have been there since the start, are in fact a set of coordinates.

The controls, oh the controls. Your options are mouse and keyboard, oh your fancy HOTAS may be detected and let you bind it in the controls menu, but no, you can’t actually use it.
So mouse and keyboard it is and what a system it is. Mouse sensitivity so high you’re doing 90 degree turns instability, missing keybind options for plane functions and a throttle with 0 indication of how much you’re set to which makes landing most fun.

I never actually landed successfully, the 1st attempt my mouse was in flight mode when I expected it to be head-look mode (no indication of which mode you’re in anywhere) and my plane 360’d across the runway and slid off to its doom. Oh did I forget to mention the runways are floating? This pirouette of death was all because I moved the mouse during landing to look at, and use the brake handle (no key-bind for it, how ironic).

Other landing attempts failed due to being unable to gauge your speed because of the aforementioned lack of throttle details.

Oh you may also get engaged by an enemy plane and simply die because no weapons, who’d have thought.

TLDR: Avoid until significant work done unless you’re making comedy videos.
