Lunar Flight

This is an oldie and a goldie. I am playing this in VR after a break and after watching the first couple of series of For All Mankind. It is awesome. This is LEM simulator, flying a lunar lander module over the surface of the moon (or Mars) and doing jobs for money, you can then use the money to upgrade your lander and buy emergency supplies such as as repair kit or extra fuel. Your lander hovers on a jet engine in low gravity and you can either choose to fly it like a helicopter (very difficult) or use the RCS thrusters to gain and scrub off velocity while using the main stick to keep the craft steady (easier but still tricky to learn). The controls take bit of getting used to but once you get the hang of them, it's a very chilled experience. I use a HOTAS system with pedals and I would say that this is probably the best setup. Even once you are used to the controls, one momentary lapse of concentration can spell disaster ... well, a reload. The game offers three types of mission: cargo delivery, cargo recovery, and signal analysis. Cargo delivery just means flying from one base to another with varying weights of cargo and correspondingly varied fuel efficiency and co…

One of the first modern VR games, played it tons on the DK1.

Highly recommended if you are looking for realistic 3D space physics :)

Works on Steam Deck. Commands are clear and easy to handle. Several levels of difficulty. Steam Deck tends to overheat and fans are running high. Ambiance is great. I love it.

great atmosphere, one of my first VR experiences (if not the first) back on oculus DK1. not easy to control at all (in a good way, feels like a good sim), which makes it all the more satisfying.

This game filled the hole in my heart left by the de-listing of FiRMA
