As a variant on my recent Unity3D Gerry Anderson’s Supercar-themed “Avgas, Will Travel” VR Experience for the Oculus Rift… I added a 3D model of the X-15A-2 by TaffGoch. Although, of course, the X-15 was not an orbital craft (See article on Wikipedia). A little adjustment to fix the port side external tank (which had reversed normals) by mirroring the starboard tank in Studio 3D Max and rotation script, and there is another Oculus Rift VR Experience.
