CDF Starfighter 1.0 - VR space arcade combat gameplay from the full release using HOTAS
26HOTAS gameplay from the full release of CDF Starfighter, a VR space combat game that recently launched out of Early Access.
CDF Starfighter is a $16.99 VR space arcade game that supports the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and OSVR. In CDF Starfighter you can pilot various different ships through a campaign, random scramble missions, and other challenges. In this video I show off the 4th level of the CDF Starfighter campaign.
I'm using the Saitek x52 Pro HOTAS for this video, mounted to a regular office chair. If you want to mount a HOTAS to a regular office chair for cheap, check out this video I made about it:

For HOTAS players you should keep in mind that you can't set custom keybindings for CDF Starfighter inside VR. You have to switch between your VR HMD and monitor to set up custom keybinds.
