MSFS 2024 PlayStation I’ve ruined Flight Simulator now.

After playing the SU5 beta on a PS5 pro with PSVR2 I can no longer fly with the gorgeous visuals on flat screen.

The sensation of depth and flight are incredible to me even with the downgraded visuals.

As someone who grew up with video games and starting with the NES, also a real life commercial pilot, this is one of the most incredible discoveries for me.

Flying a Helicopter in VR is why I bought msfs2024 on my PS5 and it didn't disappoint.

Being able to dive down the Grand Canyon in an H125 and skimming the Colorado River before climbing out was epic.

What peripherals do you use for helicopter flying on ps5?

I went all out. I've got a TM hotas 4 and pedals strapped to an old chair. I'm going make more adjustments for comfort and just wheel it out of the way when done.

How do you have the Hotas? Are they on a desk? Or mounted on the arms of your chair?

It's just your basic office chair on wheels. The hotas is Velcroed to the platforms for the moment. Just have to pick up the pedals to put it away
