Have you ever dreamed of what it would be to soar like an eagle? Aquila lets you experience soaring bird flight using your virtual reality headset. Fly three types of eagle over three terrains, using Bing photography. Soar using thermals and ridges, with configurable wind direction and speed, and fly with other birds in multiplayer!
Aquila is made as a fund raiser for the Hawk Conservancy Trust, in the UK. Supporting this software will contribute to projects and research helping birds of prey in the UK and overseas.
This is a flight simulator: the physics are pretty good for more typical flying. Gamepad control is probably the easiest, followed by headset steering. Touch controllers give you direct control of the wings, so it is challenging but satisfying!
Check out the website for video tutorials, and keep the comfort mode on to start.
