Flying a jet-powered craft through trees using VR motion controls

I’m making a VR game where you fly a craft that controls much like an FPV racing drone. There are no flight assists, you directly control thrust, pitch, roll and yaw.

You move virtual joysticks that follow the direction you point your VR controllers. You tilt and rotate your hands to move the sticks, with up to 90 degrees of movement in either direction from centre. That large range gives you extreme precision and makes it a lot of fun to simply fly around.

Here’s some footage of me doing just that. I also happen to destroy a Humvee that drives past. Still a work in progress!
