Dakota — ha, you’re British, yes? — I meant the PA-28 Piper.

I’ll look later for that just off to dinner :+1:

Blame server load on release day.

Hi folks,

We are very closely monitoring the server load, and we’re not seeing any capacity issues thus far.

@aastrics, I’ve shared your post with our Customer Support team, and they advised that it looks from your screenshots that the sim is not connecting to either the Azure or PlayStation Network (PSN) servers. They mentioned this can occur if there are network blocks or filtering in your country/region.

For example, accounts in Russia are blocked from accessing PSN, as reported here:

Sony has suspended thousands of PlayStation Network (PSN) accounts linked to Russian users in a major crackdown on efforts to bypass regional restrictions. The move comes as part of Sony’s push to enforce service limitations following its 2022 exit from the Russian market.

After suspending official operations in Russia due to geopolitical tensions, Sony had blocked access to PlayStation Plus (PS Plus) and other digital services. However, many Russian gamers continued using the platform by relying on foreign billing addresses, VPNs, and international payment methods.

Thanks,
MSFS Team

this game isn’t really a system seller on console. also, not too much media and ad’s have been up for the ps5 version. i doubt many ps5 users even know this game is coming out or what it is.

2020 was the goat. 2024 a year later doesn’t even come close.

Certainly enough people knew about it. There isn’t a single Hotas 4 to be bought at the regular price. Not in UK anyway.

yes because it is a niche game and has a niche audience. what i’m saying is don’t expect the number of users to be like a FIFA / COD/ Battlefield type of game.

Oh no, I don’t expect anything like this. I have no idea how many people will use 2024, on any system. As long as it is there for me and those who love it, I am happy.

Can someone on PS5 confirm if the heavy cert is unlocked for career please?

They are all locked until you get there and it will take longer than su4 for ps5 users to get there probably. If not I will say.:+1:

problem with career mode on any system is it’s still so broken. i don’t think they would have made any fixes for career mode just on PS5 and not PC/XBOX

I tried a few Heli S&R rescues yesterday and saw new animations of the stranded. They must be doing something.

Amazon Canada you can buy it for 2.5x the normal price. Must be popular right now.

They have definitely made fixes I was able to load passengers in the 747 without a jetway on Xbox in SU4 beta. I’m just wondering if we are getting full career mode in SU4, but it does appear it’s also locked on PS5 anyway.

Yeah, it is the only flight stick that can be used on PS5. Flying with a controller is just not viable unless you have many years of experience flying this way - I don’t.

And im definately not paying that extreme amount of money for a plastic controller that wears out fast. So my PS 5 version is going to gather a little dust until someone, somewhere makes compatible flight sticks.
