I remember tooling around in the Sopwith Camel, but I guess that plane has been in just about every version.

VR looks interesting. This is one of the first titles in which VR really interests me. It could put you right there in the cockpit, and unlike some other games, since you are sitting in place, there is no "moving around" problem.

I wonder what level of detail it goes to. Do you have to look upo charts, and punch in the correct frequency in order to communicate with the tower in controlled airspace?
