Dawn of Jets

[Jarhead0331]

I literally stumbled upon this new game that was released into early access. It is native to the Quest 3 and I am hooked!

First of all, it's a flight sim that focuses on early Cold War era jets...like pre century series. It's got the T-33, P-80, F9F Panther and Cougar, F-84 Scorpion, MiG-15 and F-86. The external models are beautiful and the internal cockpits are sufficiently dissimilar to one another to give them a unique feel. Certain key controls can also be manipulated in the virtual cockpit, just like in VTOL VR.

Missions are a really good mix between air superiority, CAP, strikes, interdiction, etc. I've flown some really intense missions where I was facing off against heavy AAA and enemy fighters.

It is very much "sim-light" with a feel of authenticity.

In any event...for the few of you who play in VR, I highly recommend this.

Looks interesting - mot a big flight simmer but this era hits a sweet spot for me - Jet propulsion with cannon/line of sight combat. One of my favourite mods for Wings over Vietnam was the F86 & various Mig matchups.
Thanks for the heads up! (no pun intended  )

I love the time period as ww2 and Korean War are my favorites.  Do you guys wear any eye correction (glasses or contacts)?  I notice the Quest 3 can use Zenni corrective lens inserts, only $50, can that be right?

I don't wear corrective lenses, but I am aware that there are some very good options out there that work with the Quest 3.
