![]() Do we really need to say more? Everyone loves extraneous VR physics. ![]() Communicate with the extensive hand gestures, shout at them through voice chat, fly in front of them so your smoke obscures their vision: all’s fair in wingsuiting and war. Team up with up to seven of your best and hit the jump. Sure, bots can be crafty opponents, but there is no sweeter victory than that you snatch away from your friends at the last second. Want to race during an epic thunderstorm? Or through a canyon as the rising sun casts everything a deep, burning red? We got you. We’ve created four gorgeous environments in which to race, each with dozens of different routes, from beginner to nightmarish, and a whole array of weather and day/night conditions to boot. ![]() Mother nature is amazing, and we think we’ve done her justice with Rush VR. Admire the View (while also watching out for that damn tree) Yes this will dramatically increase your odds of wiping out, but in a downhill race like Rush VR it’s a case of who dares wins. Boost Your Way to Success (or into the side of a tree)įill the ever-important boost meter by grinding as close as possible to the walls, floor, or any obstacles you can find. But Rush VR isn’t just a wingsuiting sim, it’s also a racing game, so we’ve included some additional elements to increase enjoyment. The sensation of speed is palpable, with the perilously close canyon walls hurtling by, flecks of water and snow colliding with your visor, and the breathtaking drop as you crest over a hill and see the world spread out beneath you. Rush VR was designed to simulate the visceral thrill one gets when hurtling down a mountainside at breakneck speed. More Thrills Than a Haunted House on a Rollercoaster Sometimes you want checkpoints to race through, speed boosts for daring flyers, multiplayer modes and scoring challenges and leaderboards. To make the wing work, the first thing a wingsuiter needs is velocity, usually achieved by jumping from a plane, or BASE jumping from a tall structure (Rest in Pizzarolls, Franz.) Once a sufficient speed is reached, the wingsuiter can begin to control their movement with their arms (or in the case of Rush VR, five other control options as well, because not everyone plummets screaming to the ground in the same way).īut sometimes the adrenaline rush of almost dying isn’t enough. While this “membrane wing” design does not generate enough lift for true flight, it does drastically increase the ‘glide ratio’ of the wingsuiter, allowing them to soar for great distances. Think flying squirrels, or sugar gliders. These membranes catch the wind when the limbs are extended, essentially turning the wingsuiter into one large airfoil wing. Specifically, it’s a skydiving suit with material webbing stretching from the wrists to the ankles, and between the legs. It wasn’t until the 1990s that technology and design had advanced far enough that wingsuiting became viable, and from there things really took off (pun intended).Ī wingsuit is, and prepare your brain for this next part, a suit with wings. A few more foolhardy souls follow Reichelt’s lead, mostly meeting the same unfortunate end, and the hobby died off. He first tested his invention by leaping from the Eiffel Tower in 1912. Wingsuiting was invented by Franz Reichelt. Living up to its name, Rush VR provides the downhill thrills of wingsuiting but with a significantly lower chance of grisly death (depending on where you’ve set up your VR unit, I guess).īut what is wingsuiting exactly? You could find out by playing the game, but if you’d rather read about the history of this insane hobby, please continue. Rush VR is the ultimate wingsuiting experience. Well good news, wingsuiting is just the sport for you! You need a new way to flood your central nervous system with adrenaline. So you’re sick of skydiving, bored with base jumping, and have had it with being hunted by billionaires for sport.
