The reviews highlight a mixed experience with the story aspect of the app, particularly for users of the Quest 3. While some praise its potential for enhancing VR flight simulations through mixed reality, others express frustration over complicated setup processes and inadequate documentation, leading to a lack of functionality. Overall, the app shows promise but requires better support and clarity for users to fully appreciate its features.
“This is an awesome start at a game-changing product for Quest 3 VR flight simmers who want mixed reality blending a physical cockpit with the VR world.”
“It requires SteamVR and Virtual Desktop with the Quest 3 and is a bit complicated to set up, but once running, it is stunning as even the passthrough of the cockpit is 3D.”
“This app just made the Quest 3 the best headset ever.”
“I have struggled for a week with incomplete documentation, incorrect YouTube and Reddit advice, people who say it only works with Virtual Studio, but don't know what version (Steam store vs Quest store) and contradict themselves, etc. To no avail: all I get is a white snowy box, no passthrough... until there is a reliable document, this is a lemon for Quest 3 users.”
“Private beta to support Quest 3 requires an access code which seems unfair to users that are supporting the early access and want to promote all the features that will be available.”
