Thank you very much for your detailed and honest review after a few months of actual use. I just received my VO1 Controller, and I'll be going back to your previous video for setup help, instructions, and fine-tuning. As a relatively new subscriber to your channel, your videos have helped me prepare for my installation and first flight. Also, just joined your membership too. Thank You!

For anyone considering buying this considering you’re used to a joystick..let me just say, I’ve been flying desktop flight sims for YEARS…Always with a joystick..I set mine up an hour ago and I could never go back!!! It changes hand flying in a way that can not be conveyed…I strongly suggest you pull the trigger on this one!

I purchased this unit last week, upgraded from only using a keyboard. I can't express how much my FS2020 experience has positively increased since using it. I used to struggle achieving small subtle movements in flight but as you mentioned the trim wheel on here is amazing., I'm not even sure if I am meant to control the plane as much as I do by using the trim wheel but it is so smooth, subtle and accurate. The yoke is not really an issue for me and I also the weight and smoothness of how it handles. The throttle is also a godsend, I now have full control of my speed for landings. All the button allocation options are fantastic and I am still working on a configuration that suits me. I highly recommend this unit just like yourself. I now have confidence in moving up in aircraft size knowing that I have better control but more importantly enjoying the whole experience. Thanks for your videos, I have learnt a lot.

Best demo ever! Thank you for clarifying the issues which made it easier to make a decision to get one.

I just want to say thanks for the video. I recently made the decision to go for a private pilot's license and your review absolutely sold me on this yoke. I ordered it late a couple nights ago and should have it tomorrow so I can spend the weekend getting used to it. I'm really looking forward to it as well as the world of aviation. Again, thanks for your opinions and have a wonderful day!

Sold. Looks and works great that yoke set up. Thank you. Nice review 👌

Recently picked one of these up myself and love it. It's my first yoke every so it is taking some getting use to after using a flight stick for so long but I think it does add a bit more realism. I did encounter some of the sticking people talked about however I did notice that if I didn't rest the weight of my hands on it, it didn't stick at all. I also got some Teflon spray, sprayed some of that on a paper towel and then wiped that on the shaft of the yoke to help reduce the sticking. I think it's worked pretty good so far.

I love this Yoke, even though there is a slight sticking point the Yoke it’s self is just incredible. I have reprogrammed all the buttons and fly in VR only a Cessna 172 and it’s brilliant. It’ was your first video that made me go out that day and buy it. Cheers mate and happy flying.

I help maintain a fleet of PA-28’s, Piper Archers, for a large flight school. A clean lint free rag, and a spray can of silicone clears up this issue for us. Spray the rag and wipe down the yoke shaft, it will clean up any dirt and lube at the same time. Unless Turtle Beach has a problem with this practice it should work on the yoke. If Thrustmaster and Turtle Beach could make a hybrid stick and rudder system that could support multi engine configurations for Xbox that would be cool, but the HOTAS One w/rudder works good enough for bush flying the Savage Cub.

I just brought it like 2 days ago and I'm loving it i have been flight Siming since 1996 and now wow i Can't believe how far we have come

I've had the VelocityOne Flight for a few months now and I'm totally happy with it. The only thing I still wish Turtle Beach would do is to include interchangeable templates for the MODULAR THROTTLE QUADRANT, like the ones for the SIP. In the meantime, however, I have made my own templates for the MODULAR THROTTLE QUADRANT. 😊

Been going back and forth with this yoke and the Boeing one. I've officially solidified my decision and ordered the Velocity. Thanks for the help! Can't wait for Monday to get mine. I'm upgrading from the Hotas One which you also helped me set up perfectly. Keep up the great content thank you👍🏼

agree with most things you said,The mechanical engineer who designed the trim wheel needs a big bonus unlike the engineer who designed the throttle quadrant mine is very loose. I used some ice cream sticks and heat shrink to increase friction and this works well. I mainly fly vr and the controls on the yoke itself are brilliant easily accessed by feel. The 10 switches between the throttle quadrant and the vernier controls are very difficult to discern by feel. A more distinctive key top would be a definite bonus for us vr'ers. Overall I give it an 8 out of 10 damn good!!!!

Come here to check your review and then I see myself flying about in your video in a spitfire 😂

I never played flight simulator. Now i’m totally addicted and I own this yoke. I even rented a motion simulator they use for pilot training to see if I can fly and safely land a Boeing😄. Next month I got the appointment on the airport.

This is a great yoke system for us X-Box users but one issue that has been uncovered is that when using the built-in stopwatch it upsets the ailerons and causes random hard-overs. No idea how the two are connected but it happens, I have had my VF1 replaced by TB and the new one is the same, it seems to point to a firmware bug. If you don't use the stopwatch its perfect and i only discovered this bug when i started doing dead-reckoning flight planning, i use a separate stopwatch now.

I was considering getting a V1 but decided shortly after to go for a Honeycomb Alpha + Bravo combo. Great video though! The V1 definitely is the best on a budget and for the value, but I heard so many complaints about the sticking! Honeycomb didn't seem to have that problem luckily. Super excited for it to arrive!

9.0 because the pitch sticks and the flimsy throttle quad. They are way to light but I do like the setup and what you can do with all the buttons, and you my friend have helped many of us setup up our TBVO system. In fact getting it setup for multi engine and GA have been helpful. On a side note I would love to see Gulfstream 650 or just the Gulfstreams in general along with more Bombardier Falcon and netjet type planes. Xbox series X here.

Good Lord, I knew I should not have watched this video! Now I have to have one of these!! My wallet may have to have a few words with you. Cheers from Canada.

always enjoyable ... great unit - but I miss the AP features like on the TM Boeing yoke combo

I LOVE my VelocityOne Yoke System. Total immersion!

Great video, as usual pal. I must be in the minority, I haven’t noticed the pitch sticking at all. My only problem is the issue with sensitivity settings not saving. However, I believe this is resolved for the HOTAS one in the upcoming SU8, I’m hoping it’s also fixed for the VO1 too. If not, it’s a disgrace.

Thank you so much for this!

Thanks for the update. I'll be getting one imminently. I'll check out your other videos for set up with xbox series X. Do you recommend that I also get a mouse and keyboard with this yoke?

Thanks for a great review! I was hoping you would do one just like this Huddison I have been on the fence about the V1 since it came out, and I’m glad I held off. To me the yoke is the most important aspect, and if it takes weeks or months to break in I’m not interested. I’ve had a few yokes over the years and none required to be broken in. I’m hoping it’s a design flaw that they address in future manufacturing, but I have no idea.

Ive been using mine about 3 days, really love the yoke itself, the GA controls are fantastic and ive found myself enjoying GA aircraft a lot as a result even though i mostly wanted yoke for flying airliners with the quadrant, the trim wheel is tops as well. Ive found the yoke and trim wheel helping a lot with with achieving smooth landings, mines not at all stiff in the pitch as long as you pull straight back with no downward tension. My only issue is with the headphone passthrough, which has been causing me grief (on pc) as i have to disable and enable to get it to function, TB support has been helpful and they offered a possible solution (i will edit this if it works!) to sort it im yet to test. Ive honestly not bothered with the indicator panel as once i get muscle memory on this new controller i will be playing in vr predominantly. Its a different world to my x56, but worth mentioning if you want to do any sort of aerobatics (like the air races) or dogfighting in other titles, don't get a yoke! I have pretty decent times on time trials with my x56 but it was near impossible with the yoke! Oh i do find my quadrant too loose, below a certain point they fall under their own weight! Ill deal with it in some way though, not a deal breaker for me at all. Enjoying your content Huddison, i see many more subs in your future!

Great review and I will be seriously looking at upgrading to this setup in the future. ✈️👍

Just love mine!

At 9:11 you state AP and Heading, How do you get your Autopilot to follow the course you laid in before take off? You mentioned AP button and "that" button?

Great review. I'm curious though. Does this yoke and throttle setup work for multiengine propeller plane as well? I have heard it only does single engine prop or multiengine jet. But I'd like to fly the DA42 twin propeller aircraft. Thanks. Ben

great stuff again -thanks for posting - Your video does convince me to switch to it .Question however : as a xbox x user I wonder whether I will be faced with the same issue for all the cockpit interactions (locked in last update and no way to switch to "legacy" to get rid of this issue.)Any advise ?

Hello Huddison, nice video - i like it. i noticed the numbers and color in your garmin display looks different to my garmin on a cesna. The colours and the indicators looks clearer and better then mine. Do you have any mods?

I would love to learn how to use this in Star Citizen. I am curious if there is any Turtle Beach or third party support for mapping/ integration for this game. The pitch/ roll/ yaw paradigm of the yoke seems compelling to use in this game, especially for a larger ship. That tasty display panel right on the yoke itself- what could be done with that?!?

Morning, So ive been looking at various Flight sim add ons and with this Yoke, it seems I dont need to buy the extra Flight panels? Or maybe just the Radiofrequency changer.I'm talking about the panels that are available on Logitecs website

Thank you very much for your reviews on this. I am brand new to any flight simulators and Im already looking to update from the xbox controller on pc but have been struggling so much with what to get and this helped a lot. One question on something I may have missed on one of your previous videos.....in the menu is the profile option for setting up different plane profiles?

Hey there I was just wondering how did you get the back sip panel working from the start of the video the back panel many thanks

im happy with my alpha yoke & bravo throttle, but this looks also beatiful !

I love the look of this and am really tempted to buy one. The only thing that’s putting me off is the fact that I play this on Series X on a big TV in the living room sitting in a comfy chair with a keyboard on my lap and so I don’t have any where to mount it. Unless I move my Xbox to a different room and use a spare monitor which I do have, but i want the Xbox left on the big TV for all other games. 🤷‍♂️🤔

I have update 1.1.0 and my prop 1 axis does not give me the “reverse” option box for constant speed props, so the levers and/or vernier control move in the wrong direction. Did this change since you did your setup for single engine advanced? I am now limited to fixed pitch prop planes? Please please help. Love your videos. TNX 4 your help.

Is there any kind of lubricant I can put on the yoke stick to make it move smoother? Mine is sort of sticking and difficult to pull and push. That part doesn't seem to be well made. I like the rest of it.

How did you set up the trim wheel because sometimes when I use it in air like barley touch it the plain wants to do a backflip

I really need the SIP panel lights on the XBOX! it doesnt work yet. But I love my Velocity One Flight!

Thank's a lot for the review ! I'd like to buy it, but I really don't like all those rgb lights and bells and whistles on this yoke.

Good news! SU8 downloaded to my Xbox Series X last night, tested them this morning and both the HOTAS One & Velocity One sensitivities now save and persist past game shut down and restart!! Hooray!!

I'm having trouble with the altitude settings when flying airliners,When I click on the altitude button it just goes up to 99,000 and I can't reverse it...Any advice please?

Looks like a great yoke! I only wish the color display can be customized for the Xbox. Would love to display things like airspeed and altitude since we are limited to the kind of peripherals we can use for the xbox

That 747 pops out of no where suddenly blows away the Cessna 🤣

When I use the velocity one flight with my controller to use switches and the altimeter it seems to turn them up and not let me use them such as turning the altitude up to 99000, do you know how I can stop this (I play on Xbox)

wears in? so when does it stop wearing in? how sloppy will it become with use? sounds like a version 2 is needed if something is "wearing in"... Xbox just needs more controller support for their xbox version.. I have to buy all my controller and pedal stuff again? oh the pain of changing...

I've learned a lot from watching your videos. Thanks so much. As far as I can tell, the SIP is still not supported on Xbox (as of April, 2022). Is that true? That seems like a HUGE drawback to me. I couldn't justify to myself spending that kind of money not knowing when (or if) this major feature is going to be implemented.

Like you and others, I was at first concerned about the pitch stickiness. It made short field landings, where I need one hand on the yoke and one on the throttle, sketchy, but at some point - I'm not even sure when - it went away and my bush landings smoothed out. My only quibble is, while putting the rudder controls on the back side of the yoke handles on what are essentially the Xbox controller trigger buttons is a reasonable solution, it makes a left crosswind side-slip landings impossible, or at least more difficult, since I have to take my hand off the right rudder to control the throttle.

Nice video! Do you know if there are any rudder pedals that work with this setup for Xbox?

Hello i’ve had FS for two weeks now and need help! I’m running it on xbox with the velocity one. I’m a newbie at this! My question is can I run the velo 1 without using the game pad? And if so how do I set it up? Please help!!!!😕

Im wondering why we have no FFeedback Yoke / Sticks ? do they have any plans for that ?

I've been considering this for a while. But my issue is with those buttons, they look like T16000M quality. I'm used to using a Virpil CM3 Throttle and Constellation Alpha sticks so I suppose I've been a bit spoiled. Like when I upgraded to Beyerdynamic headphones and then used my rubbishy in ear things on the tube. I guess my question is: Is the build quality and performance up to the £350 price tag? or, is there a brand that has build quality to match the likes of Virpil gear?

Is it possible to use on the couch as you like to use your Hotas One?

Can you add pedals controller along to this one on PC ? or how control pedals ?

What rudder pedals are compatible with the turtlebeach velocity one? Are they sold individually?

I'm currently looking for a flight yoke to supplement my actual flight training. The features that have attracted me to this device are the inclusion a trim wheel, and the vernier style ( push pull ) throttle. From 7:32 - 17:16 you aren't showing the control yoke at all. You've only moved the trim wheel once for a couple seconds. Same with the throttle. For this Turtle beach setup, the primary complaints I've read from reviews is the sticky yoke and or an overly sensitive trim wheel. Apparently the full travel of this yoke is back one inch. I still need to see a review of this product.

When using this on Xbox, do you need to set any controls on the flight sim or can you get straight ahead to flying?

Can you show us your assigned settings for everything?

Would you say there is “lag” using this setup in msfs2020 when flying various aircraft? Particularly pitch and bank?

Put lub on pitch shaft, stops sticking, a little slicon grease, that won't eat plastic, or a little vegetable oil that won't eat plastic will stop this, qont need much

I,m thinking about purchasing this but I wonder if it is worth it since I fly VR.

Does it have the landing gear indicator for up and down?

if you dont have rudder pedals how do you control the rudder with just the V1 yoke set up here?

Can you do a test on PC for this on the Xbox cloud gaming on MSFS I want to know if this will work , my Xbox USB controller works on my PC for cloud gaming but I want to know if this will definitely work on the official Xbox app on PC

I have the 1.1.0 update but my led panel dont is same like your

Real aircraft do not have a center detent point in the elevator axis as this yoke does. I tried a friend's Velocity One Yoke a few months after he purchased it and I found the elevator travel was not smooth. It was great to see that Velocity One included a Cessna style vernier throttle quadrant, but the reduced size compared to the real thing made it feel very toy-like and not at all realistic in its operation to the point that I actually prefer using the little lever throttle found on top of the CH Products Yoke. While I confess to being one of those people who find buttons and lights to be alluring in some way, in this case the buttons and lights are more of a nuisance and a distraction rather than having much of anything to do with operating an aircraft in a realistic way. One weird thing about this yoke that I dislike very much is the fact that the shaft does not rotate with the yoke, but instead the yoke merely pivots at the end of the shaft that only goes in and out. From an engineering perspective, this doesn't look like a very structurally sound design as I've already noticed some wobble from the yoke in relation to the shaft after only light use.

So the back lights won’t show on Xbox?

A new Sip Software update has been released. 06.07.2022 if i am correct, vers. 1.2 (PC).

Has anyone used this Yoke in Star Citizen?

I am wondering if by pulling with one hand, you are making the issue worse, as it will tend to pull the joke in the oposite direction.

The SIP panel not working for me on the XBOX is disappointing..

It still doesn't work with rudder pedals does it?

I’ve had mine for 6 weeks or so and the stiffness is still an issue. I’ve been in touch with TB a few times and they tell me to stick with it, but I’ve found I am using it less and less as landing into small airfields (my preference) is really frustrating. Somebody posted elsewhere that the weight of the yoke Itself doesn’t help and I agree with this. If I lift the yoke slightly, minor adjustments are much smoother, but clearly this isn’t a permanent solution. Not sure where I go next as I’m beyond the return period, but I have read using printer paper on the shaft has helped some people - I found this on TB Discord so plan to give it a go.

Which flight simulator are you using?

can someone that uses this in PC share the working mapping file... C:\Users\(name)\AppData.... inputprofile_(xxxx...numbers) is a xml file... thanks in advance

Just got my V1F two days ago and I love it. But when it comes to rudder pedals I don’t see anywhere to connect them the the V1F. Am I supposed to plug them straight into my Xbox?

My pitch axis is still sticky, even after almost half a year.

Looks like a great bit of kit. Shame about the price, nearly the cost of the new consoles itself. You don't get this exposure to expensive enthusiast peripherals on console.

Will it work with WP3DV4

Very nice controller, and another great informative video, but as you know and mentioned the SIP lights may work for pc users, but not for anyone on Xbox. Also getting 2 defective ones in a row has soured me on it. I’ll probably get another at some point but not until they get the manufacturing issues taken care of. Also imo it’s not worth getting yet for Xbox owners unless they don’t mind waiting God knows how long until all the advertised features are actually there. While not completely Turtle Beaches fault, the missing features were used at last years e3 as selling points, if in not wrong that was almost 8 months ago, and are still not there for Xbox users, and the features shown for the screen on the yoke don’t work yet for anyone. No offense meant to you, but it was a 6/10 for me as I said I got 2 in a row with manufacturing defects, the replacement was worse than the first with 2 major issues as opposed to the one issue with the first one. I see incredible potential here, but for me at least it needs a few more months in the oven as it were.

The stiff pitch has caused a small amount of play and wobble with my yoke on the shaft. If it gets any worse I’m thinking of returning it.

Not every day you have a 747 landing on your head pal.

Mine still sticks, landing is terrible I've had mine for months, wish I didn't buy it

now how the hell is it 13/02/2022 if it was 8 months ago and 13 isnt a month

It’s always cracked me up how particular brits/Englishmen are yet they say basic words wrong. Three they say free. Why do Brit’s not use th and always changer to an F. Instead of together it’s togefer 😂
