March 19, 20224 yr I'm trying to use my PS5 controller for my drone camera and the sim is not detecting it, Is it even possible to use it in the sim and if iam able to use it how can I get the sim to detect it?

Therefore MSFS should see it. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

March 19, 20224 yr Yeah. Nope. MSFS used to work with the PS5 controller. But, along the way it stopped working/being detected after one of the updates. I generally don't subscribe to conspiracy theories, but in this case, here's mine: They (MS) want you using their controller and not those inferior Japanese controllers. MS dictated that PS controllers would not be used with their simulator. This really fried my bacon. But, sometimes, you just have to surrender the battle and live to fight another day.

April 19, 20224 yr I haven't tried but Fabio's Twitch video from yesterday (PMDG 737) he grabs a controller (looks like an XBOX controller) during a flight. He then uses that controller to move the view around (the Drone view / show camera view). So I guess it does work now. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

April 19, 20224 yr I have been using an Xbox controller for my drone controls since MSFS was released to the present, and it has always worked for me. But, Xbox is MS so go figure 😉 AMD Ryzen 9900X3D & ASUS X870E Gaming Plus MB, w/64 Gb GSkill DDR5 RAM, PNY RTX 5090 GPU, lots of SSD's and M.2 drives, HAVN Case, Virpil VPC Panels 2 and 3, Virpil Constellation Alpha Stick, Virpil Rotor TCS Plus w/ Hawk-60 Collective grip, TM TCA Yoke Boeing Edition, TM HOTAS A-10 and F/A-18 Sticks and TM TPR Rudder pedals.
