    @CallsignArtemis It’s ok. I have it on quest, which is low physics, and even then it’s fine.

    @BeastHunter Quick question as I can not yet access a VR console, is the current amount of vibration ok, or is even further balancing required for the future crafts?

    Note: if the wings begin to flutter (wingtips vibrating), reduce throttle and perform a loop-de-loop to stop it before the aircraft tears itself apart. This usually happens in dives in excess of 300 mph.
