Well, if you get tired of flying miniatures around the dining room table, maybe this will hit the spot:

I wonder how much he has invested in that rig? I think my planes are probably cheaper!

Amazing but he does not have a 'rear view mirror'.

Yes, I noticed that too - at one stage in the clip there is a 'bang' from somewhere behind - I'm assuming an enemy aircraft 'chewing' his tailplane.

Very interesting.
I was also a bit perturbed by not being able to get an all round view too.
Also the lack of R.T. communications seemed strange. Must have watched too many war films.

I imagine a time in the not too distant future where we will see better and cheaper "fully immersed" games. VR seems to be such a science/nerd thing nowadays but I remember a huge VR flying machine in an arcade some 20 years back. It was effectively a large flight simulator with a coin slot.

One can dream right? This guy did more than dreaming though. Pretty cool IMO.
