How to Fly
What’s an Iron Man game without flying? Well, while the tutorial section of the game does a good job of telling you how to fly, it doesn’t share everything with you. Flying is pretty simple in Iron Man VR, the direction of your flight depends on the direction of your palms.
If you have seen the movies, you pretty already know how to fly the Iron Man suit. Basically, the thrusters are under Stark’s palms and feet.
If your palms are facing forward you will fly backward, face them backward with your arms on your sides to fly forward. If you have a basic understanding of physics and momentum, you won’t have a hard time flying around in the game. You can make adjustments to your flight pattern by using your like of sight.
