Settings Is Everything: FS2024 on Xbox, PC, and Now PS5

With Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 now preparing for takeoff on PlayStation 5, the sim world welcomes its third major platform -joining Xbox and PC. Like the Xbox version, PS5 currently faces hardware limitations, with the Thrustmaster T-Flight HOTAS One standing as the only officially supported control system at launch.

I’ve spent plenty of hours flying with that same setup—paired with Thrustmaster’s TFRP rudder pedals—both on my Xbox Series X at home and on my PC for off-site demonstrations. It’s a compact, reliable, and capable kit that sets up easily. But as every seasoned simulateer knows, setup is only half the battle—settings are everything. Each aircraft behaves differently, and dialing in the right control sensitivities can transform a good flight into a great one.

I’ll admit, finding that perfect balance took time. My controls always felt slightly off - until I stumbled on a solution from one of my favorite YouTubers, Huddison. His recent video on sensitivity tuning for the HOTAS system in FS2024 finally clarified the process and helped me achieve smoother, more realistic control responses.

If you’re configuring FS2024 on your own rig—on PS5, Xbox, or PC—I can’t recommend his walkthrough enough. Huddison's straightforward approach makes fine-tuning FS2024 accessible, even for newcomers.

In future posts, we’ll talk more about controlling sensitivity in FS2020 and X-Plane.
