Thank you so much for giving it a play BBIT. I agree that the controls are a challenge. I had to figure out how to map up/down left/right forwards/back and left turn/right turn to two joysticks. I'm still not sure on the best way.
With regard to your suggestion about turning the plane the controls actually do allow you to turn left and right with the right thumb-stick or joystick, but I know I didn't explain that very well with the instruction graphics.
With regard to your suggestion about positioning the player, I totally agree. I actually just posted a new build that auto-places the player at the right position at the beginning of the round. I hope it makes the game more accessible.
Thank you again for giving it a play and leaving me my first comment. This is my first VR game jam!
I'm going to give yours a play now.
