Blortasia User Guide
• The best way to learn to fly in Blortasia - is to fly in Blortasia!
• The controllers are labeled with tool tips. Tool tips can be turned off with the button labeled "Tool Tips On/Off".
• An arrow and pointer on each controller indicates the direction of movement for steering.
• Point the controller where you want to go and squeeze the trigger (Labeled "Fly") to accelerate.
• Turn your body in the direction you want to face. The controllers move you, but don't rotate you.
• The triggers are analog and behave like an accelerator. Squeeze a little to go slow, squeeze more to go faster.
• Use one controller or combine them for increased speed and control. You can use either one or both at any time. If you squeeze both triggers, your speed is doubled and you steer with both controllers. Think of them as independent thrusters. If the trigger is not squeezed, aiming the controller has no effect.
• The mass, inertia, and momentum of the physics simulation will smooth out acceleration, deceleration, and changes in direction. When you release the triggers, you will coast slowly to a stop. As with a physical vehicle, a bit of anticipation and oversteer can be helpful.
• Low, medium, and high speed modes are set by pressing + and - on the thumbpad, which is labeled "Speed Mode Lo-Med-Hi". Speed mode is per controller and sets the maximum speed possible when the trigger is fully squeezed. The directional arrows on top of the controllers will change size to indicate your setting. It is best to start out slowly until you are comfortable flying. Starting out in high speed mode can result in loss of control and momentary disorientation.
• The platform below you can provide a sense of stability and a frame of reference, but can be toggled off with the button labeled "Platform On/Off".
• There are no collisions in Blortasia. You can steer around objects or you can fly right through them without consequence.
• Blortasia's unique flying system is designed to minimize the impact on the vestibular system and be comfortable even for those who are motion sensitive.
