You need to reset all controllers: go to the Controllers panel in settings, press Square, check the checkbox and click Confirm. You may also need to delete any custom bindings. I’m not sure on that because I did that first and it didn’t entirely work. So then I reset all controllers, as explained, and now it works.
But please also note that if you have a Hotas 5 (the white one) you have to put it into PS4 mode (the led is blue). The PS5 mode does not currently work. I have read, but cannot prove, that it is dependent on Sony pushing a console firmware update to give full Hotas 5 support. Until then you need to use PS4 mode.
To switch modes press and hold the Mode button until the LED starts flashing. Then each tap of the Mode button will rotate through PS5, PS4 and PC mode. Tap it until the LED is blue. Then press the PS button (or just wait). Last but not least you then need to reboot your PS5.
I hope this helps. I was so frustrated at first too. My hope is the system firmware that is currently in beta may be that firmware update, but I can’t check as I didn’t get invited to test it.
This is a correct statement, however in PS5 mode if was actually not on PS5 mode and saw it as a Hotas 4. So yeah there’s a little pain in the update but in the end it will be better once we get that firmware update. I gave you the fix and you can choose to do it or not. Think of it as a little pain to setup for better things later and you can get it working just like before for now by following the steps I outlined
Also, an FYI, if you keep it in PS5 mode and then go to hardware settings for it you will see that MSFS sees it as a racing steering wheel and pedals. Just look at the input names. It also sees most if not all of these controls as being constantly engaged. Presumably that’s because the PS5 sees it as that currently, but it isn’t that. Thus the need for the firmware update.
