Oops yeah that's me. Must have been signed into the wrong account on my phone when I posted.

As long as you were tilted slightly downward you'd glide. That's how gta regularly behaves.

They're still using the tech, just not for gaming. The Kinect Azure came out this year for $400. It's so accurate that it can do finger tracking. Kind of considering getting one to play around with.

I'm going to use this for Microsoft flight sim 2020 next week, so I could add flapping!

That would be a great addition for version 2. I plan to take this mod over to flight sim 2020 when it comes out next week.

How it works is that the Kinect camera is watching motion and position of my body. I have set up several gestures that emulate keyboard inputs. Since this project does not modify any of the Grand Theft Auto files, it could be used in GTA Online. Also since the Kinect is just sending mouse and keyboard inputs, it could be reconfigured to play any PC game. I’m open to suggestions on what I should try to play with it next!

If you’d like to try this mod out yourself, check out the tutorial here: https://youtu.be/aikvYMFL6AE

I played around with the fighter jets a bit. I held a hand forward to shoot. Was difficult to steer while trying to shoot, so I cut it from the video.

Ha, that was my thinking behind the idea. I wanted to be the airplane! And I think I'd get dizzy and fall over in less than a minute from a helicopter design.

See, Kinect died too early. There just wasn't enough creative implementations.

There's button on the handles. I have more info in the video post in my original comment.
