It goes straight into VR, so me staring at a black screen until the penny dropped (hey, it’s early here).
Binding of controls is a bit funky in VR, so might do it in 2D.
Seems to work. Sat in an aircraft..

Well I flew around a bit and landing on the carrier, so that’s good.
An early look for sure, clickable cockpit, some rough performance (25fps on a 5080 in VR) but obviously lots of tweaking to do. Interesting!
VR screenshot after landing and not binding brakes so just fast n furious spun it out :
EDIT: There is a VR guide already with some advice on what settings to have on/off:

Thank you. I couldn’t find the button. I’m definitely overdue for my vision checkup.

I had to download it from the Steam Next Fest page, the game page didn’t show download button for me.

I wish I could show this video to myself at 14 playing MicroProse’s 1942: The Pacific Air War

Sorry to be a Negative Nelson, but the demo is no bueno for me. It is laggy and I am constantly chasing the mouse to find click spots. I got into the cockpit but my extremely low fps and lag made it unplayable. I may still get it on release but tbh, my eyes are on IL-2 Korea.
Anyway, to those who are having success with the demo, enjoy the flying.

I tried it yesterday and was pleased to be in VR as soon as I started the flight. They are rather brave releasing it as a demo in this early state in my opinion as it was hard going for me. I felt a bit sick due to the very low fps, even on low settings. I think it has some way to go but good on them. I will watch their progress with interest.

20 years or so since my last flight in a Zero.
It’s like riding a bicycle 
Seriously. Landing on the CV is pretty easy. Ground handling on the carrier not so much…
Still quite bare bones and obviously an alpha / tech demo. But it’s nice to try out something new.

I really like how the controls are setup on this GUI. This is so well thought out. I hope it plays on my system…

Well, I had my go at it. Seems ok. Got about 30-50fps. After I managed to program the controls I was able to put both on the deck. Seems to need a bit of polish. No real damage model I see. However, the models are beautiful. The Zero is amazingly modeled. The Wildcat is too, its just there is a lot more to see inside the zero. The flight models are not easy. The takeoff and landing seems nicely modeled. I will be keeping my eye on it. It has promise.

Indeed looks very interesting. I’m hoping VR and clicky-pits is in the works.
What’s with the recent trend of time-limited demos though? I remember in the good old days demos were permanent and didn’t disappear after a few days.
