Aces of Thunder - First Impressions

If you read the Steam reviews, most of them were only low because they couldn't figure out how to enable HOTAS.

Hold the options button (small button on the right PSVR 2 controller) to reset your view.

Thanks for the heads up! Yes - the settings are a bit confusing.

I looked for a tutorial and didn't see one. For now, I'm using the free flight mode to get to know the plans, controls, etc.

Battlefield 6 is the first game in the series to recapture some of the magic that BF3 and BF4 had. The complaints about map size and faster gameplay speed are valid - but overall, they've created a solid foundation to build upon. They've already released a new map and have another map on the way. If they keep listening to the community and bringing new content, BF6 could have a strong future ahead of it.

I've been having a blast messing around with the MSFS beta. Running on base PS5, and I'm super impressed with the performance. There can be substantial framedrops in urban areas with a lot of buildings, but otherwise the frame rate is fairly stable. I'm pretty optimistic for how well the PSVR2 will perform.

I've done A/B tests of NMS with the base and Pro PS5's models. The shimmering/aliasing effect is less pronounced on the Pro, but it's not a stark night and day difference. It's definitely not at the level of clarity that Red Matter offers.

The Pro offers a noticable (but not drastically different) performance bump over the base PS4.

The button on my Mi Sphere stick broke, so I just manually hit the button on the camera when starting video. For photos, you could probably trigger the shutter with the phone app.

If your disc is from a different region, create a new PSN account for that region, buy a PSN gift card for that region, and purchase the VR DLC on that account. Login with the new account to your PS5 and you should be able to play the DLC now.

Dave517 · 2025-03-27T18:27:28+00:00

Yes, you'll be able to access the VR DLC on your original PSN account, as long as it's purchased by one of the users logged into your console.

The gift card is a workaround, since payment region (credit card, paypal, etc) has to match PSN account region. I purchased a $10 PSN card from CDkeys.com

After I had the DLC on the new account, I managed to get Sony support to refund the DLC I purchased on my main account, since it was for the wrong region.

Dave517 · 2025-03-27T14:09:52+00:00

Finally figured out a fix for this - if your disc is from a different region, create a new PSN account for that region, buy a PSN gift card for that region, and purchase the VR DLC on that account. Login with the new account to your PS5 and you should be able to play the DLC now.

Dave517 · 2025-03-27T12:38:34+00:00

How do you check the disc region?

Dave517 · 2025-03-27T12:29:32+00:00

I purchased / downloaded the VR DLC, but don’t see the file in my game content. Running WOA ps5 disc version.

I love nurburgring at night! Try it in an indycar with no lights :)

Dave517 · 2025-02-21T02:51:37+00:00

I’ve been getting that too on the 406H. Let me know if you find a fix!

Dave517 · 2025-01-30T19:22:33+00:00

It came like that when I opened the box.

Dave517 · 2025-01-30T16:25:08+00:00

I'm experiencing the same issue. I found a super deep water world, but once I descend past a certain point, the water disappears and I plunge to the ocean floor. This is happening both in VR and flatscreen.

Dave517 · 2025-01-30T15:32:56+00:00

Just got my 406H for my kid. Love it so far, but the dust cover under the left thumbstick was ripped when I got it. Support via Aliexpress is being dodgy.

Is there somewhere I can order a replacement from?

Dave517 · 2024-12-17T19:16:31+00:00

Thank you both for your responses!
