I've not pushed it live yet, but if you opt into the beta on your game settings you'll end up with version 0.951. It's not live yet as motion controllers and headset steering have not been checked as working yet, but if you're a non-vr user you may be interested in the changes in this version.
Using your Xbox gamepad, you can now look around by holding the top right shoulder button and moving the right-hand thumbstick. You can reset your view by pressing blue X. Pressing 'V' or the top-left shoulder button cycles through first person, back, and chase views. The cycling Observer mode is available through the in-game menu, and selecting this option will cycle through First Person, Back, Chase and Observer ... this button is mainly for VR use to select a view for your main pc screen while you play in VR, but it will work in non-VR also if you're playing without a headset.
Flying with WSAD, Right Shift, and the mouse to look around still works before, but there's a bug where Right Shift does add thrust, however the wings do not animate. It's a small fix that I should be able to make tomorrow. Control on a gamepad does not have this bug and the wings flap normally. Headset and Motion controller steering are untested in this version, so I'd stick with the non-beta 0.95 for now as these latest changes are for non-vr play.
I hope that explains things as clear as I can. I'll upload a video to run through some flying in non-vr, making use of the view options and autopilot. :)
Again... stick with the non-beta 0.95 version if you're playing in VR. Only use 0.951 (via the beta participation in Steam) if you're curious to try these new changes for non-vr play.
Thanks for reading. :)
