Maybe the autopilot was on? That behaves that way, that it tries to counteract your inputs to keep heading.
Apologies in advance, i donât like to write negative posts, but after the announcement of no crossplay, we feelinâ some kinda way
Maybe shame on me for getting my hopes up after the launch of 2024, but no crossplay with PlayStation users just kills any excitement i had. This is a core feature, without which, i donât see much point to the PlayStation release. Crossplay is something nearly all modern games have figured out, i wouldâve thought a cutting edge game like MSFS could manage it
Iâve now had to go back and tell my friends that only have PlayStation that we wonât be able to play together, and they probs wonât be getting MSFS 2024 anymore, since that was the main draw
I have no clue why the PlayStation version would be allowed to ship without crossplay, it goes against the whole ethos of bringing people together to enjoy flight simming. If the issue is software-side, then it should be delayed until crossplay can be added. If the issue is just having to log into a Microsoft Account, give PlayStation users the option when they start the game ~ then you allow those who want crossplay to join in the fun, while not forcing anyone
As someone whoâs tried to stay as positive as realistically possible through the whole MSFS 2024 lifespan, Iâm just so disappointed with what shouldâve been a defining win for MSFS. I know Asoboâs doing the best that it can with the hand itâs dealt, but itâs feeling like MSFS 2024 is just one debacle after another 
At this point, i wish MSFS 2024 in its entirety was just postponed and released (on all platforms) on the 45th anniversary of the series. Maybe theyâll finally get it right in like 2032 for the 50th anniversary

I know this is a bit of extra money but if it is important to play with your mates and you could afford it - get a PS5 Pro. Youâll have best of both then 
I donât think itâs realistic to expect us to drop around $750 for a PS5 Pro,$70 minimum for MSFS2024, and a PS Plus monthly membership to play with our friends. Not to mention if youâd want to use any add-on planes that you already have ~ nope, gonna have to pay again
All this when crossplay is standard on most any other competent major release (minus Nintendo, but we donât talk about them x_x)

The question I have asked myself is if this lack of cross play and also that it is not possible to carry over purchases is due to technical reasons or if it is a business decision. We donât know but since they make the new version as a totalt separate product according to the last Dev stream, it sounds to me that it is a business choice. I cannot believe that technicalities are in the way for such a big software company.
Thatâs a ripoff. Itâs not worth even close to that much.
They have a captured market if no other peripheral can be used for PS5. Sad but true!
No auto pilot, the aircraft was responding and going exactly where I wanted to but the yoke was showing opposite direction until I stopped climbing.
Itâs also making me lose hope for getting DualSense-specific improvements (like haptics etc.) into the pc version(((

MSFS 2020 on PS? And PSVR for FS20? Did I miss something?
Wrong. The âbig software companyâ has proven more than clearly that it canât get technical problems under control - which âare in the wayâ (nicely put)

Its most possibly a âsonyâ reason. I donât think ms would be allowed to sell anything in a platform controlled by sony without giving sony a cut of that revenue. So if they allowed marketplace purchases to carry over, sony may argue that users will be able to bypass the sony platform while purchasing addons (for example buying it in windows) and then use those in sony platform without paying sony anything. I think the same applies to the steam and Microsoft Store version of the product in PC.

It sounds very likely that Sony has a say in this.
So I have been on this website for Playstation where they advertise upcoming games - NOT 1 mention of MSFS 2024!?? Why wouldnât they do this if this was supposed to be the be all and end all product? Clearly MSFS 2024 to PS5 is not a big deal in the grand scheme of things in Sony!
Only that the PSVR2 can be used on PC via an adapter 
I was mainly referring to the alleged possibility of running FS20 on the PlayStation.
The possibility of running VR2 on the PC cannot be taken seriously, judging by the comments on this topic.
If there does end up being no cross play between PS5 & XBox/PC users it wonât be a technical constraint.
Years, perhaps decades back, Microsoft ran tests of cross play on some games, I forget which, between PC, and XBox users before it was released to the public. What they found was the PC users dominated the console players because they were mouse users, and aiming is simply superior with that device. It was blocked for a long time, but eventually we started to see it in some games.
Iâm not suggesting that might be the reason for the PS5 maybe not being able to fly with non-PS5 users, just that there may be other non-technical reasons why, and it probably involves lawyers, and contracts.
No one actually said anything about 2020 running on PS though.
No idea how well PSVR2 works on PC, havenât looked into it much, but I thought it worked in general, thatâs what Iâve read elsewhere.
Yes the psvr2 works great o the pc version of msfs2020, the psvr mk2 that I have also worked sort of ok but not as good or easy to setup as the psvr2 was.
