Overview
Eagle Lander 3D (EL3D) is an authentic simulation of the Apollo lunar landings and includes accurate renditions of scenery, flight dynamics and the lunar module. Currently EL3D includes Apollo 11,12, 15, 17, a LM racing course and an orbital flight. Other missions 'plug-in'.
EL3D is designed to realistically render the physics and dynamics of the lunar module as well as the terrain of the lunar surface. EL3D uses the latest in graphical 3D technology to provide high resolution renditions of the LM, it's instruments, and the lunar surface in the region of the current landing site. All primary flight instruments work like the originals with many operating control panel switches too. The Apollo Guidance Computer has been modeled and works just like the original including the famous 1201 Alarm Code on Apollo 11!
EL3D is now FREE!
EL3D will soon be ELVR - meaning it will be available as an immersive VR experience. The 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 is coming up and ELVR should be ready by then! Get your headsets ready!
The current version of EL3D is very old but there is a very dedicated group of individuals who provide assistance and help. Please join the Yahoo Groups EL3D page.

Eagle Lander 3D is FREE! Well the old one is.
The new one will be ready Q2 of this year and will be VR ready. If you don't already own a VR headset, you have time to get one! Total immersion is the best way to experience flying the LM.
Here is a taste of some of the items being developed for ELVR. This video was done entirely in VR . It is impossible to display in a flat video the immersion you get while in the VR experience.
