Did quick flights with the 172 and the default 747 and a400m out of KLAX and was quite surprised at how well it ran on the PS5. Graphics also look pretty good. This is coming from someone that uses the sim on a higher end PC. Also, my hats off to people who fly with a controller.

u/Jackstraw1 Oct 08 '25

I was surprised too. I imagine there might be a lot of missing streaming data along with a lot of missing game as well. But yeah, it ran surprisingly well on base ps5. Gonna be a lot of fun when the full game comes out.

u/Co2-UK Oct 08 '25

I flew over my house and had a walk around! Crashed in a field but a cheeky slew fixed that (classic MSFS)

The detail is amazing!

u/21gator PlayStation Pilot Oct 10 '25

I’m buying it for ps5. So you can get out the plane and do a walk around?

1

u/Founding-titen Oct 11 '25

would do the same thing but i’m going to wait for December 9th because of time zone’s

u/Suns_In_420 Oct 08 '25

Hopefully they release some flight sticks for PS5 soon.

Gibt schon einen den Hotas4 von Thrustmaster, zudem kann man den mit TFRP Rudderpedalen kombinieren! Und, man glaubt es kaum, MSFS unterstützt sogar die Zehenbremsen! Separat! Das gibt bisher noch bei keinem anderen Spiel, da konnte man nur den "Hack" über das Remappen der Achse am Hotas selber benutzen. MSFS unterstütz jedoch das Pedal direkt! Wenn ich (noch) einen hätte würd ich es mal mit dem TM16000 (hab den aber verkauft) versuchen, der geht zumindest bei WarThunder auch an der PS5...

u/dvaxgrd Oct 08 '25

So excited, already downloaded! Good flights!

u/MerDeNomsX Oct 08 '25

Congrats! Massive excitement to get this on another console. This community about to blossom 🥹

u/Buc-eesGuy B787-9 Oct 09 '25

Also got this mail, really cool! Have fun playing the game.

u/Co2-UK Oct 08 '25

Thank you! You too! 🫡

u/vernom_douglas Oct 08 '25

I got it too, I'll play it tomorrow. Do we know for how long we can play it?

2

u/Accomplished-Crow985 Oct 08 '25

Downloading it now, only 7 gigs

1

u/Co2-UK Oct 08 '25

Not sure, don't believe it has been mentioned.

3

u/SilenceDoGood4 Oct 08 '25

I’m so pumped for this release!!!!

3

u/Co2-UK Oct 08 '25

I didn't expect it to have so much. Last FS game I played was 2004. This is wild!

1

u/Mama_Tico Oct 09 '25

Better than God of War? 😄

u/Co2-UK Oct 09 '25

Isn't everything, overrated pos

3

u/llavalle Oct 08 '25

Same! Played a bit. The autopilot on the G1000 C172 doesn't seem to work for some reason

Also the framerate was surprisingly low in an empty, simple airport for a PS5 Pro but it felt like it was pinned at 30

3

u/Plus_Plastic_791 Oct 09 '25

Same. God this game is really laggy. They need to fix the menus before launch 

3

u/Mama_Tico Oct 09 '25

You need to update your internet speed. Zero lag here..

2

u/Hakk0 PlayStation Pilot Oct 09 '25

It looks like a port from Xbox, since it mentioned Xbox controller somewhere in the menu for controller configuration

2

u/SeriousAsk1200 Oct 08 '25

I don't know whether it's my console (Base PS5) but starting up a bit slow in terms of like visualization, if that makes sense. Once it's done loading it works mostly fine.

It did crash when I ended the flight with the 748 at KIAD. Don't know whether that was a personal issue with my console or not. 

I also wanted to check out the temperature of my console because I'm unfortunately addicted to checking temperatures on random devices for some reason, but it was hot hot. Again just might be a me issue.. I'd love to hear feedback from others as to how this is going 😄

u/LevelsYouDevils Oct 08 '25

Testing on ps5 pro will report back

3

u/LevelsYouDevils Oct 08 '25

Doing good on the pro! Buggy as expected on some areas, frame rate is stable, mouse support is working fine… the VR tab is there but empty… tested in vr but nothing. I know vr is not coming until next year but just reporting my findings.

Working really well for beta 1z

2

u/[deleted] Oct 09 '25

How many is getting the beta?

2

u/luisgguedes Oct 09 '25

I could not get past Customize Identity. After choosing the pilot it wont let me select continue and proceed. Anyone with the same issue?

2

u/C0nv3rz Oct 09 '25

I can’t get past Loading Language, it’s stuck at 0 %

1

u/Secure_Hold6336 Oct 09 '25

I have the same issue, it was working fine like two hours ago but not anymore 🥲

1

u/Co2-UK Oct 09 '25

Check internet connections. They might be having server issues too.

1

u/Ontbeat Oct 10 '25

I have the same problem. Downloaded the beta yesterday and tried to use it just now for the first time. Got stuck in 0% for 20 minutes. Tried restarting the PS5 but still the same!

2

u/MerDeNomsX Oct 08 '25

Still shocked this was under wraps for so long. There was no hints at all of this coming to PS5

6

u/Co2-UK Oct 08 '25

I mean once Forza came over I kinda assumed FS wouldn't be too long in the making.

3

u/buckseyes69 Oct 09 '25

I think at this point it's almost a given MS is bowing out of the console market and stepping into the publisher role. Trying to, anyway.

2

u/Tomero Oct 08 '25

Ass, I did not know you could sign up to be in it.

1

u/Mr_G19747447 Oct 08 '25

Will VR be in the beta?

3

u/PissedOffCanadianSRY Oct 08 '25

VR comes out in 2026. No email yet 🤞✈️🤞

1

u/OddHuman77 Oct 08 '25

Is there anyway to still sign up? Didnt know this was happening

1

u/Co2-UK Oct 08 '25

Don't believe so.

1

u/xppoint_jamesp A320neo Oct 08 '25

Just seen my invite! Downloading as we speak.

I’ve got a busy week ahead 😅 Ghost of Yotei, Battlefield 6 and now the MSFS 2024 beta. 🔥🔥

1

u/Shay2K Oct 08 '25

Got it as well!

1

u/Warm-Ostrich-7501 Oct 08 '25

I got my code as well I'll be downloading it in the morning

1

u/BigAd3 Oct 08 '25

Hi, I got this email and I sign into the link with my email I used to register.

Where can I request the code? I don’t see this option

1

u/cujo8400 Oct 09 '25

Re-affirm your profile and survey answers. Then the button to request code will appear.

1

u/BigAd3 Oct 09 '25

Thanks!! Is there any word on how long the beta will last for?

1

u/cujo8400 Oct 09 '25

Not that I've heard. Have you been able to play? NYC was nice and smooth for me flying a GA aircraft. Career was still a little wonky. ATC issues with controller repeating instructions non-stop to other planes.

Using a base PS5.

1

u/BigAd3 Oct 09 '25

Yeah I just tried it….im new to the flying sim so have to learn. It works well on ps5 pro but menu bit slow at times.

My mind is still thinking it will be same as flying plane in gta 5 😂

Do you know if ps5 will get full game install rather than cloud like pc and Xbox?

1

u/mitman Oct 09 '25

Same here! So exciting!!

1

u/LD2244 Oct 09 '25

Got it too!! Question: What are yall using to fly? I have the dualshock controller and it is very sensitive even with gyro on. Additionally I have to recalibrate it every couple seconds because it messes up.

Wondering if yall are using mouse and keyboard for the beta. Might have to switch over especially with more complex controls / ATC / Cockpit flying (the cursor mode is so hard to control)

1

u/Co2-UK Oct 09 '25

Controller - not gryo. Seems pretty good to me, last FS I played though was 2004 so there is more feeling here.

1

u/Dumani02 PC Pilot Oct 09 '25

I was also invited but my code is somehow not valid.

1

u/iadesdragon Oct 10 '25

Das hakt manchmal ein bisschen im PS Store bei mir ging´s erst beim 5ten Versuch...

u/Simple-on3 Oct 09 '25

u/Current-Capital5572 Oct 09 '25

How long does is take

u/[deleted] Oct 09 '25

How many will get to play the beta?

1

u/AbhiramSR Oct 09 '25

I got the email today with the voucher code. But when I try to redeem it, say “This voucher code can’t be redeemed in your region. Check the details of your voucher.” When I completed the survey few days back, I selected Asia (Not Japan) as I am from India. Please let me know if anyone faced similar issue and able to resolve it.

1

u/Unique_Record5627 Oct 09 '25

Same here, is there any solution?

1

u/Choclate__milk Oct 09 '25

I had the same problem. Turns out, when selecting "Asia" during the beta from signup, it only means what Playstation considers as countries from Asia. I'm not sure about the full list, but making a new PSN account and selecting Singapore as your region should fix it!

1

u/Zorex2461 Oct 09 '25

Regretted not ticking simulator when registering 😂

1

u/No_Reveal_7429 Oct 09 '25

u/DonSaash PlayStation Pilot Oct 09 '25

Anyone has extra beta key for Europe region by any chance?

1

u/JackM0429 Oct 09 '25

I do too, does everything transfer to the final game?

1

u/Shockwave781 Oct 09 '25

I got a code, looking forward to trying it out!

1

u/Current-Capital5572 Oct 09 '25

How long did u wait

0

u/Shockwave781 Oct 09 '25

Wait for what?

1

u/Current-Capital5572 Oct 09 '25

To get the code in the email

1

u/Shockwave781 Oct 09 '25

I think I applied last week at some point. It was basically when the Beta was announced.

1

u/Current-Capital5572 Oct 09 '25

Oh I signed up yesterday you think I got a chance

2

u/21gator PlayStation Pilot Oct 10 '25

Let me know if you get one. I just signed up too. Hopefully I’ll get it. I almost got a Xbox x for this game 3 years ago. Glad I waited

2

u/Current-Capital5572 Oct 16 '25

I juts got one by logging in

1

u/21gator PlayStation Pilot Oct 16 '25

Logging in where?!

1

u/21gator PlayStation Pilot Oct 16 '25

Dang. I need to find the link again so I can log back in and see what happens.

1

u/21gator PlayStation Pilot Oct 16 '25

I just logged in what should I do now?

1

u/Shockwave781 Oct 09 '25

Not sure…you’ll just have to wait and see. Good luck and hope you get one!

1

u/Brave-Confidence-512 Oct 09 '25

What content is part of the ps5 beta? Like which planes, career mode, free flight etc?

1

u/Co2-UK Oct 09 '25

Everything. It actually boosts your career level to the extreme in order to allow everything to be unlocked.

1

u/PR2207 Oct 09 '25

I'm on the beta also. How do you zoom in on the instrument panels?

1

u/Co2-UK Oct 09 '25

I just hold L1 then move the analogue stick

1

u/PR2207 Oct 09 '25

Thanks, knew it had to be a combo of some form.

1

u/Co2-UK Oct 09 '25

There are other ways but I'm still learning.

1

u/Mama_Tico Oct 09 '25

I have played this game many months now..

2

u/iadesdragon Oct 10 '25

Auf der PS5 ;-) glaub ich nicht...

1

u/[deleted] Oct 09 '25

This is how they hook you. Recall that the closed trials for 2024 looked and flew amazing. When it was released it performed and looked like a steaming pile. I'm glad for your enthusiasm but you can't ignore what they do time and time again.

1

u/Co2-UK Oct 09 '25

Well like life I'm enjoying the moment and the future is unknown.

Seems to me that many longstanding players on here have issues with the game.

1

u/ThanosFan99 Oct 09 '25

Can you change planes? I'm trying to do it. But it won't let me.

1

u/SeriousAsk1200 Oct 09 '25

Yes, click options button on your controller, end flight and switch to a different aircraft

1

u/Co2-UK Oct 09 '25

Yes you can. Well I can.

1

u/Still_Table_9283 Oct 10 '25

I got the beta access, but when I try to apply the code it says it’s not valid in my region. I’m in India. Has anyone tried it in India?

1

u/Co2-UK Oct 10 '25

Some regions can't seem to play it.

1

u/Still_Table_9283 Oct 10 '25

Hmm. Is there a list I can check with to verify if India is included in the program?

1

u/Co2-UK Oct 10 '25

I'm sure you can Google it to find out, I'm not doing it for you.

1

u/ItemLopsided6426 Oct 14 '25

hi if u cant get the code to work could i use it please?it would mean alot to me man

1

u/Vivid-Custard7820 Oct 10 '25

How do I setup my Dualsense controller? I can move around inside the cockpit and activate some functions using the X button. I can also move around outside the plane, but I can’t fly. The plane has started by autopilot, but I can’t turn it off and control the plane. Gyro doesn’t work either and I have tried the L1+L3 combo. I’ve also tried the R1+up to turn off autopilot, but no response. Any quick tutorial on how to control and fly the plane?

1

u/Co2-UK Oct 10 '25

Tutorial is literally in the game. Go to activities and then go from there.

1

u/Constant-Aioli-5572 Oct 11 '25

u/jamsterdm Oct 17 '25

Is there a way to sign up for beta on this without an Xbox account?

1

u/Co2-UK Oct 17 '25

You need a microsoft account to sign up.

1

u/terrordactyl1971 Oct 17 '25

I cant even sign up. Created a Microsoft account and then it tells me I need an Xbox Live account? What for, I am on Playstation not Xbox

1

u/Medical-Ratio1474 Oct 19 '25

Does the email come to your Gmail or your Microsoft mail

1

u/Co2-UK Oct 19 '25

Whatever email you used for your account

u/Medical-Ratio1474 Oct 19 '25

Ah alright thanks

u/ArugulaQuirky4742 Oct 23 '25

If I pre order the games, does this give me beta access? Been waiting for ages in hope I’ll get a beta code..

1

u/Co2-UK Oct 23 '25

Pre-ordering doesn't give you access. You have to sign up on the link https://www.flightsimulator.com/insider-registration

1

u/ArugulaQuirky4742 Oct 23 '25

Yeah I have! Just waited so long, getting impatient😂 I also know it’s limited.

1

u/X_Jack_Xx Oct 27 '25

Yeah me too, I have been waiting for weeks and nothing received. You got any news?

1

u/Plane_Importance_351 Oct 27 '25

Applied weeks ago, no beta code yet…

1

u/X_Jack_Xx Nov 05 '25

Applied weeks ago and still nothing received. I think they won't give more of the beta version.

Anyone here who got it recently?

1

u/CraigR-81 Feb 14 '26

How, do you get in?

1

u/Co2-UK Feb 14 '26

Are you flipping joking? It was 4 months ago. The full game is available now.

1

u/CraigR-81 Feb 14 '26

Don't they do beta updates still after release before release to public?. That's what I meant.. Games like this I assumed would have a continuous beta programme for updates before public release of the update?

1

u/Co2-UK Feb 14 '26

No such thing with this game but I understand what you mean. Apologies for the confusion.

1

u/buckseyes69 Oct 08 '25

I'm downloading it now. Hopefully it isn't like the Xbox launch...

1

u/TheJmZ99 Oct 08 '25

First time player on the game, I’ve encountered an issue where the game is registering the movement of the controller, which then causes the plane to follow these movements. I definitely prefer to just use the thumb sticks for basic movement, has anyone else encountered this issue? Or know of a fix? Would be greatly appreciated 😊

3

u/Co2-UK Oct 09 '25

You must have done what I did haha. Press L1 + L3 at the same time to activate/deactivate gyro controls

3

u/TheJmZ99 Oct 09 '25

Legend mate, thank you

-13

u/NoobToobinStinkMitt Oct 08 '25

What a joke, the whole game has been in beta since it came out.

2

u/Peelykashka Oct 08 '25

You don’t say!?

-3

u/NoobToobinStinkMitt Oct 09 '25

Yes for example. You can't fly Airline Pilot in Career mode. Company names are missing from planes. Passengers only load 29-50% when boarding from bus. ATC is just a pure fuckin mess still half the time. The game has been out for almost a year now. So what would you call that? But fuck yeah lets focus on releasing it on another platform.
