"I had a chance to play Nightfall on the new PlayStation VR," said Master Sgt. Ben Hannigan, a combat controller with the Air Force. "It is so realistic I could almost smell the airplane and feel the wind. In free-fall, play controls simulate movements to maneuver in the sky. After your parachute opens, you control your speed and direction to stay with your team. They added some fun with gates to fly through and enemy targets to identify. It may be as realistic as you can get without actually jumping from a C-130."
