This looks really cool. I might let it mature a bit before I hop on and give it a whirl.

The one man Dev also intends to do the full Apollo Command Module as well. Cool!
Yeah…the initial reviews are very good from enthusiasts. I could see how it would be fun doing some docking and moon landing stuff. I’m probably going to give Apollo 11 VR a whirl with that Viveport subscription…
Wow…those are some sweet looking manuals… No wonder the history buffs are giving him high praise on the Steam reviews.
Definitely worth a look, I really enjoyed it. The cabins looked amazing in VR but not many buttons to press. I still got pretty emotional on my first landing though - the audio with Buzz’s callouts and real NASA comms made it amazing.
VR compatible?
Does anyone remember Microsoft’s Space Simulator? It was way ahead of its time I thought. I would love a full real Lunar and Command module sim in VR.
Wow that looks pretty incredible.
Is this VR? Are you guys talking about VR things again?
It didn’t specifically say so…so I’m not sure…
Oh dear I have to tell my brother about that.
He is an even bigger space fan than I am.
VR would be awesome.
Well that might be the easiest $17 I’ve ever spent. Shame I won’t get to play it while on holiday travel…
What do you know, then?
I asked on their facebook page, and got this reply:
That is my plan. It worked when I treid a year ago, but the UI and input needs to be changed so it’s a lot of work. I’m a bing fan of VR so my goal is to have support for it, just need to understand how I would add it that makes sense. Also the motion controllers.
The authors gameplay videos give a good idea of the detail:
A Mercury launch with real audio track looks simpler. So cool!
The 3.0 update is out. The new Lunar Module has been added. Looks fairly complex of course:
For a one-man dev effort, this project is great.
I can’t wait for the part where the creature pops up in the window of the LEM a few minutes after touchdown. Scary stuff.
