Are wheel brakes broken while using HOTAS?

Since i switched to HOTAS a few days ago i don't seem to be able to use brakes when landing half as effectively. It can be a problem, so if anyone has a fix I'd be grateful.

PRO upgrade

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.

Non VR + PS5 Controller game experience

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?

Best & Worst Planes

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

Another compilation of my gameplay this week.

I'm finding making these videos nearly as fun as playing the game though I must say my kill counts have suffered massively because I'm waiting for every kill to look cinematic...

Trophies - Too easy/quick to platinum?

I know its a bit hypocritical as I have not yet got the platuinum, but i'm nearly there and really just the double ace to go, but in my defence i have not been even attempting it yet.

But all the other trophies unlock so soon, for example the 'Ace' trophies (destroy 100 planes) and such like, should they all have been 1000 planes, and the destroy 10 ground could have been 100 or 500 (encourage more ground attacks). the get 1 assist, coule realistically be get 100 assists.

I think this would mean the game would take a lot longer to platinum and improve longevivity, for me when I get a platinum i tend to play a game less and move onto a new one as much fun as it is there seems no big draw.

to keep my attention i'm focussing more on unlocking every ammo belt, every bomb ets and all the decals. trying to restrict myself to just doing the daily targets, that seems to be slowing my progress enough. I do hope the devs add more game modes.
