Our take on Flight 74
The mission campaign gives the flight simulator a narrative structure, but that focus leaves less room for the open-ended variety found in a broader aviation sandbox. Free Flight Mode adds unscripted flying, though the central experience remains tied to piloting one aircraft through cartel missions.
What is Flight 74?
Flight 74 is a VR flight simulator built around a campaign in which a pilot lands at an unmarked runway after an engine failure and works for a South American cartel.
Missions combine flight, puzzle, and strategy elements. The cockpit supports hand interactions with switches, buttons, levers, and objects such as a tablet, coffee cup, sunglasses, and guns. The game includes seven airports, more than 2,000 square miles of scenery, and a Free Flight Mode. It is available for Oculus Rift and Oculus Quest through PCVR, while the Quest 2 and Quest 3 versions include improvements over the PC version.
