I have ben playing AoT on PSVR2 since launch and recently got Microsoft Flight Simulator. However my base/OG PS5 was... not the greatest platform for MSFS. so I decided to convince my wife to let me buy a 3rd (2 upstairs in games room, put the obselete one in the living room) PS5 and upgrade and buy the PS5 PRO.

I decided to quickly put on AoT to see what the daily challenges were for me.... and... OMG.

For starters when the game opens the black screen with white AoT lettering list oddly crisp and clear, I was quite surprised and between the couple of seconds it was taking to the server i wondered if the game would be any different.

Well....

OMG (again) the game looks phenomenal, its so clear, so crisp, so frsh and smooth. The details on the plane outside in the hangar was very impressive, so i loaded up a match.

OMG (yet again) the cockpit, whilst highly detailed on base OG PS5 was something, but on the PS5 PRO this is something else, I was gobsmacked how clear the cockpit was, the view out of the window was perfect to the vanishing point.

Now, im not a tech guy, I have no idea whether its resolution, framerate, upscaling, PSSR or whatever but what i can say is the difference is mind-blowing.

Ig you have £800 to spare or are considering an upgrade don't consider it any mor, just get it.

Oh BTW, i never did get round to putting MSFS on i'm yet to see how that compared.

my verdict: AoT on PS5 PRO is infinitly better.

Aces of no more development?

Hey everyone,

I recently came across this game and it instantly reminded me of the original IL-2 Sturmovik series. I used to play for years back in the day with different squadrons and absolutely loved it.

I’m curious about the experience for non-VR players using a PS5 controller. I’m not sure I’m ready to invest in a VR headset or a HOTAS setup yet, but I’d still really like to give the game a try.

Is the controller good enough for flying and looking around the cockpit comfortably?

I played microsoft flight simulator on psvr2 today and i can tell you first hand the control scheme is abysmal. The UI and controls etc on AoT are amazing in comparisson.

Unfortunately i now need to sell MSFS and its gonna cost me a big hit. Really disappointed as i was looking forward to playing it. Just dont want to have to juggle HOTAS, dualsense and vr controllers at once.

How on earth people can give that game good reviews is beyond me.

Which planes do people prefer to use in battle? And which ones do people hate.

I hate the D4Y3 and love the FW190 A-4

I have nearly 10k hours in war thunder mainly realistic and sim and ive played games like dcs and other flight sims ive looked at some videos of the game and it looks really fun even just the single player stuff im just wondering if it's worth getting on the psvr2 i do also have a simple hotas i can use if need be

Does anyone know if they ever plan on adding jet fighters?

In the Custom Battles we got errors lately, impossible to create one.
Any news on that? Could be another update on the serves

The Decals you can unlock through doing daily challenges, I'm currently at 145 (23%), so at an average of 2 challenges a day it should take me about another 10 months
