A Letter from The Developers

To the next generation of aviators,

We hope this experience encourages and helps you to embark on your first lesson, grit through ground school, feel the joy of your first solo flight and pass your check ride.

And if piloting isn't quite your cup of tea, there is a plethora of aviation careers out there.

Yours,

Aries VR - a squadron of aerospace enthusiasts, trainee pilots and licensed pilots sharing their first person experiences of their training journeys

Overview

Embark on your virtual aviation journey with Virtu-Pilot, a cutting-edge VR flight training simulator designed to equip aspiring pilots with a cost-effective and engaging tool. Originally tailored for Meta Quest 2, Virtu-Pilot empowers you to gain confidence and master essential aviation skills at your own pace. This immersive VR training experience allows you to step into the pilot's shoes and perform checks and procedures using your virtual hands, simulating real-life scenarios.

Prepare to interact with your environment! Crouch, check for obstructions, inspect for ice, open doors, flick switches, and remove tie-downs – all within the realistic landscape of Virtu-Pilot.

NOTE: We are excited to bring Early Access to the aviation community. Please remember this is an early access experience, and your input is invaluable in shaping the future of aviation training. The Windows desktop mode adaptation is quite limited, and compatibility with non-Meta Quest VR headsets is unknown.
