    Yes , most wireless controllers will work on android or IOS , it takes some getting used to using a gamepad, but it works really well .

    Hello, I just noticed in the description “AP”, does the thrustmaster airbus edition work with Mac? Officially, compatibility is only listed with Win.

    For me, the Thrustmaster Airbus Edition works with FS 4 on the Mac, but not with FS global on iPhone or iPad.

    Just for the record if anybody has the same question.

    The X-Box wireless controller (actual version) works well with the iPad, I guess with an iPhone too.

    Best regards, Juan

    That's good news :-), I have a PC Mac M4, do I need to solve the firmware? I use a PlayStation Dual Sense game controller, but I don't like the throttle control. Will the combination of PStation and Qvadrant Thurstmaster work? thanks

    According to my experience, FS 4 recognises the individual controllers very well and so far all combinations of different controllers work plug & play without additional driver software.

    did anybody tried the PS4/5 Joystick? Or are there any recommendations that work for iOS as Joysticks?

    A ps4 joystick works fine. I’ve never used my ps5. Incidentally MSFS 2024 is coming to PlayStation. And a VR patch in 2026. (Aerofly your not on PlayStation so I don’t think this a conflict of interest)
