About the Game

Note: The pre-release is Oculus only. The full release will support both Oculus and Vive.

F18 Carrier Landing places you in the cockpit of an F/A 18 Hornet. As gamers, we search for experiences that aren’t possible in our daily lives. With F/A 18 Carrier Landing, we’re able to bring the armchair pilot into the cockpit of a fighter jet. We have long wanted to develop a true pilot simulator, but this wasn’t possible until the advent of virtual reality.

The Game

Your task is to utilize your skills to land on the aircraft carrier.
The F/A 18 cockpit is modeled with accurate detail. Reach out and touch the throttle, manipulate the flight stick, flip switches, and more.
Your landing will be graded based on the weight of the wheels at landing, the distance from the center line, your approach angle, etc.
Your score will be posted to the global leaderboard, can you rise the ranks?
