The only major downside to playing with a HOTAS controller comes with the discomfort of it sitting in your lap. Combine that with the in-your-face visuals of a cockpit while playing inside of a PSVR headset, and you're experiencing the best way to play a flight simulator.

With all of these options combined, you're left with everything you need to feel like you're holding the controls of an actual plane. The T-Flight HOTAS 4 has a dual-rudder system, a joystick complete with a rapid-fire trigger, a detachable throttle, 12 action buttons, and a resistance system to simulate real turbulence.

Using your Move controllers does offer a level of immersion by giving you the option to touch and grab everything in the cockpit, but a HOTAS controller like the Thrustmaster T-Flight HOTAS 4 will have you feeling like you're flying a real plane. When it comes to playing these sorts of games, you can either use Move controllers or an official HOTAS controller. The design is comfortable to hold, but also has the buttons strategically placed around the device to simulate the parts of a gun you would need to interact with if it were a real gun.įlight simulators are popular in the gaming community, and there are quite a few choice options for the PSVR. Some of the smaller guns you play with may feel a little odd, but the overall "point and shoot" idea and having to physically aim a single motion sensor (as opposed to holding two with the Move controllers) has a significantly better feel to it. The Aim controller feels more like a rifle than a pistol. While that's intensely immersive as it is, it's only heightened by making you feel like you're holding a gun in real life. This places you into the experience first hand, with the ability to turn, dodge, duck, and cover within the game environment. Instead of playing in a first- or third-person view while staring at a TV screen, you're playing with the screen directly on your face. Once you put on your PSVR headset, you're met with a whole new world. While you can play all of these games with the Move controllers, and some of them with the DualShock controller, the PlayStation Aim controller offers the best immersion for your shooting games. There are plenty of games for the PSVR that revolve around holding a gun to shoot your enemies.
