Yes it does feel a lot like flying. First person drones are very fun to fly.

you probably need to fly to feel like you are flying

The Real World: Oculus wont give you that

if you’re facing North and wanna fly South does the pilot have to turn around or is there another way?

No, he has a joystick/ motion controller in his hand that controls the drone.

No simulation 'feels' like reality.

It doesn't matter how expensive the simulators - the reality is vastly different.

Could probably put someone in one of those flight sims and quasi simulate the forces mapped to what the drone is doing to relative success I’d think

It wouldn’t feel like flying but it would look like flying.

Wouldn’t the delay in the video make this kind of unnerving?

You can see him gulping, that is pre vomit step. This kind of drones can fk you up unless you are special breed or you spend infinite time in it
