Vector 36: VR skimmer racing sim - Race across Mars with simulated physics
54VR gameplay from Vector 36, a futuristic skimmer racing simulation game where you fly across a terraformed Mars.
Vector 36 is a $24.99 PC racing sim game that supports VR for the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. Vector 36 is designed for HOTAS controls, but also works with gamepad or KBM, and you can play it without VR on a PC monitor. In Vector 36 you race against other skimmers to get money for new parts which you can add to your ship to help improve speed and handling. The skimmers are hovercraft style vehicles that propel themselves above the ground using electromagnetic repulsion with the iron in the Mars soil.
In this video I am using the x52 Pro HOTAS mounted to an office chair:

Official game description of Vector 36 on Steam:
"Vector 36 is Physics-Based Racer set on the terraformed surface of Mars. You pilot a Skimmer, a completely customizable, surface skimming vehicle. With total control over every component, you are responsible for how your Skimmer performs. Piloting skill and engineering make the difference between winning and losing.
Race other pilots through various tracks on Mars. Compete in Sprint, Circuit, or Tournament modes to win credits, parts, or new Skimmers. Race your friends through Vector 36's amazing ghost replay system. Take on the world with Global Leaderboards. Push your machine to the limits until you are the fastest settler on Mars.
PHYSICS BASED
Each part of your Skimmer is bound by the laws of physics. Moving internal components will shift the center of gravity, adjusting angles to thrusters will affect its flight characteristics.
CUSTOMIZABLE
Fine tuning is the difference between winning and losing. Choose from a wide selection of parts, accessories, passive weapons, or support gear to adjust your Skimmer to its task. Whether it's a quick sprint at full boost, an endurance race with hardened parts, or a hill climb where lift is more important than thrust; evolve or get left behind.
UPDATES/DLC
Witness new skimmers, tracks, obstacles, support bots, parts, weapons, opponents and game modes. Vector36 will be growing over time.
VR SUPPORTED
Supports HTC Vive and Oculus Rift. No VR? No problem. Vector 36 still plays seamlessly on your PC Monitor. Vector 36 also now supports Track IR."
