I flew Aces High 2 for quite a few years, back a decade ago... I always had a decent stick and throttle... Always had rudder pedals... But I always struggled with the rudder... With multiple monitors and TrackIR, the rudder never felt right to me.
I've got a modest amount of real life flight time, and the rudder simply never felt right...
Today, I had my first Aces High VR experience.
OMG! I can fly a hammerhead and it actually feels like a hammerhead.
This is so amazing!
If you're still holding out on VR... Don't... It's amazing.
