Turtle Beach VelocityOne Flight Universal Control System - Xbox Series X & Xbox Series S, Xbox One & Windows 10 & 11 PCs with Yoke Handle, Throttle Quadrant, Trim Wheel & Rudder Controls

I spent a long time researching what controller I wanted to use for my MSFS2020 I am a student pilot, and I wanted something that felt like I was actually in the seat of a Cessna 172. I heard hundreds of people talk about the Turtle Beach Flight Yoke and controllers. Let's first say my wife thought I was losing my mind spending that much money on a controller, but I was always raised and taught you get what you pay for. So, with that being said this is a long review but worth the read. My first week of having the Turtle Beach controller it sat on my desk still wrapped up I was spending as much time as possible reading up on it and watching video after video. I will say this once you get everything dialed in correct it honestly feels like you're in the seat of a plane and you are ready to fly. So, the unthinkable happens after only using it 3 weeks it breaks, I was practicing my takeoff and landings and was noticing the yoke wasn't reacting to what I wanted it to do. Turns out a small piece inside the system broke off and this prevented me from landing the plane. At this point I was through the roof mad that how could something as good as Turtle Beach Yoke system go bad in a month. I contacted Turtle Beach Customer Service and spoke with Viele Grüße Sascha very helpful. Customer Support Agent Outstanding service they listened to my concerns and within days had a shipping label made for me to send the controller back and as that one was on its way back a new one was sitting at my front door. This is Truley what great Customer service is all about. So, with that being said, Turtle beach flight yoke system is the closest thing you will get to the real feeling flying a plane. and you always got top notch Customer support behind you making sure you are being taking care of.

Turtle Beach makes a great product. The set up is easy. We use this on X-box and it works great. There are some issues with flight sim on X-box, not the controller. I would certainly buy this again. The directions are clear and Turtle Beach support is good. Typical of all companies, you will not get the immediate support you want when emailing them, they are reasonably quick though. Make sure to put the Turtle Beach controller app on your xbox to update the firmware.

I've been using the Turtle Beach VelocityOne Flight with Microsoft Flight Simulator, and it has been an excellent experience. The controls feel smooth and precise, making takeoffs, landings, and long flights much more immersive. The build quality is solid, and having dedicated controls for trim, flaps, throttle, autopilot, and other aircraft functions makes flying much easier without constantly reaching for the keyboard. Setup was straightforward, and once everything was calibrated, it worked great. Whether you're flying airliners, general aviation aircraft, or helicopters, this controller provides a realistic and enjoyable experience. If you're serious about flight simulation, I highly recommend the VelocityOne Flight. It's one of the best investments I've made for my simulator setup.

First off the device does what is intended and is a yoke and throttle quadrant but that's about where it ends. The device was well packaged and was shipped inside of two boxes. Not needed and wasteful but ok it works. When I first pulled the Yoke out of the box and inspected it when I flipped it over internal parts started moving around like something is broken inside. Sounds like a screw with how loud it is. I thought great going to need to return it. But the Yoke still works. The springs are jerky and not really smooth at this time. This makes fine adjustments a complete pain in MSFS. To top it off I take this thing off my desk whenever I am done flying and put it back in the box. While putting it back in the box for the very first time I noticed a POV hat had come off while removing it from my desk. I thought interesting it must just pop off like normal ones no biggie. But the actual part it connects to is broken! Not even 8 hours old and a POV hat is broken. For the price this thing should be far better than it is. This is a $199 setup at best! The ONLY saving grace for this pile of crap is the throttles. Its the only one that has the same throttle found on most trainers. The big down side to them is you HAVE to use them with the YOKE so I cant buy a better yoke and use the throttles. Had I not just spent a bunch of money on my ground school and PPL training I would be returning this and buying the honeycomb stuff. Stay clear of this device if you are at all serious about GA sims or actual flight training. It will leave you disappointed and it will break at the slightest touch. Pure garbage.

After about 20 hours in MSFS on the Xbox Series X - here are my impressions: It connected up easily and MSFS knew what it was right away and largely mapped all the buttons etc. correctly out of the box. You can customize your setup, but you aren't having to map everything manually. The little screen on the yoke is not a gimmick, it is incredibly handy for setup, changing the settings depending on the airplane type and helping you to learn the assignment of all the buttons and switches. And I love that everything is lit because I tend to fly in a darkened room. Overall, I think the design and build quality is about what you expect for the price point. It feels like something that if you take reasonable care of it, it should hold up fairly well, although time will tell. I think the yoke mechanics are pretty good and reasonably responsive/accurate in all 3 axis. It never feels like hand flying is not happening the way you intend because your inputs aren't going into the sim the way you intend them to be registered. Same with the power push/pull knobs. So the result is pretty immersive and realistic. I am not a real pilot so I can't say how closely this tracks flying an actual Cessna 172 etc. but it seems realistic enough to enjoy the sim. Yes, it is not perfect, and you kind of wish it was at this price point. Here are the downsides that matter to varying degrees: (1) There are no real rudder pedals and so you have to use pressure sensitive trigger buttons on the back of the yoke to substitute for your rudder input. Is this the end of the world? No. You kind of adapt to it, but I would definitely buy a set of rudder pedals to go with this thing if they were offered, and it is a bummer that you can't get them as a stand-alone product for the xbox currently. Hopefully Turtle Beach (or someone else) will come out with a set of dedicated rudder pedals for the xbox eventually. (2) the gorgeous trim wheel that looks just like what you would have in a real plane turns out to be incredibly aggravating to use in the sim because it is tuned to be way, way too sensitive. You just barely touch it and it shifts the airplane pitch 1,000 feet per minute in one direction or the other which makes properly trimming the plane very hard and twitchy. Even when you try to turn the sensitivity down in the program, it doesn't seem to help. Hopefully this will get fixed with a firmware update. So you tend to just hand fly or use the auto pilot on longer trips. (3) So far, the little indicator lights behind the yoke are for decoration only if you have it plugged into an xbox. Supposedly an update will fix this eventually, but for now they are merely for ambience. Do I think this is a huge deal that detracts enormously from the value of the thing? Not really. It will be nice when you can see the light change when the parking brake goes off or a light confirming your landing gear is down, but you are buying this for the yoke and the throttles, buttons, etc. That is kind of an extra bonus. (4) It is a wired peripheral and because of all the lights and such that are powered through the USB port there are limitations on how long the USB-C cord can be. The manual says 3 meters or a little over 9 feet is the longest USB-C cable you can use. So if you are hooking this up to an xbox and your TV, you may need to move the xbox closer to the couch and run a longer HDMI cable to the TV. So this won't work with every possible living room/xbox configuration. Bottom line: If you want the most immersive flight sim experience for the least amount of money, getting an xbox and this thing is pretty clearly the best way to go at the moment. Just a few years ago, it was multiple thousands of dollars to get something which was not even remotely close to what you can now get for under $1,000 all in. Maybe at some point somebody will put out something better, but for now this is very clearly the ticket you want.

This yoke and throttle quadrant by Turtle Beach has turned out to be better that I expected. I previously used a yoke by CH Products, which was almost useless due to its poor design and quality. The VelocityOne Flight yoke system is much better. I had read that there was a 'stickiness' problem with the yoke shaft causing problems in pitch control. Mine unit has none of that. It works smoothly. When I first received the unit, my computer (and MS Flight Simulator) only recognized the throttle quadrant and did not detect the yoke at all. I thought the unit was defective, but then I suspected that the problem was with the drivers in Windows 10. I updated the drivers that showed up in the Device Manager for VelocityOne but that made no difference. It was only when I updated the two drivers listed under "xBox controller", which only appear when the unit is plugged in, that the yoke was recognized and it then worked exactly as it should. I highly recommend this system for use with Flight Simulator.

Summary: If you already have flight controls, you probably won’t be happy with this. If you have cheap stuff or nothing, you will probably love it! I wouldn’t say I’m a sim snob, but I’ve got quite a few hours under my belt. Have been using the fancy Logitech H.O.T.A.S for several years and decided to switch to a yoke. I was stuck between this and the expensive Honey Combe gear, but landed on this one due to the sale price. Observations: It is somewhere below premium, but not cheap feeling. 3/5 The pull throttle, prop, and mix controls are the best part. 5/5 The 4 levers are ok, very light on the push, but they do have a reverse detent. 3/5 Never used the trim wheel. It freaks the plane out when you use the yoke buttons then the wheel. 1/5 The button on the throttle are handy but a little small. 3/5 The indicator panel is finicky at best with PC. 1/5 The yoke feels fine to me, however I’ve flown stick my entire sim career. 4/5 Rudder on the yoke is very nice if you don’t have pedals. 5/5 The default button mapping is good, but a little crowded on the yoke. 4/5 And my biggest grip and what led to my return. The flight screen… 1/5 Very frustrating to navigate, but hey it’s a little screen… the real problem is they include flight profiles, but I could tell the did anything on PC! This would be a great thing, if it actually disable the sticks, or pull throttle. I couldn’t tell what it was doing and there is no customization that I found to it. All that being said; if you have nothing, this will be great. Perfect first controller, or upgrade from cheaper options. If you already have something nice, you will probably be a little disappointed. I really did consider keeping it and just working through the issues, but I would rather take the money spent on this and get a true premium option, especially if the amount of set up is the same.

I was trying to decide between this and the Boeing controller and my thought was that the Boeing controller looked cooler but this was more practical because it has controls that mimic the type of aircraft that I might one day learn to fly. And in that respect I couldn't be happier, the pull out throttle and mix controls do work just like the matching controls in a Cessna 172. What I didn't expect was how cool this thing does look. I thought the LED stuff was a gimmick that I wouldn't care about but it really does look pretty awesome. And the controller feels great as well, I really enjoy flying with it as opposed to a flight stick.

Update: I feel it shouldn't be legal to manufacture something and claim that it does X, Y and Z when only X and Y work. For example, the warning lights behind the yoke look great, but they're all permanently lit and don't seem to do anything. Chatter around the Internet is that Turtle Beach are yet to get these functions working!! So you've made a product and it doesn't do what you've marketed it as doing?? That's misleading and surely not legal. That, along with the sticky yoke (it's just not smooth moving back and forth and jerks a little, but I hear it's something that fixes itself over time)..........is the only reason I don't like this system. But there are 100 reasons I do it like also..... Original review below... I’ve wanted this for ages. It was released but sold out quick, then it came in stock yesterday so I didn’t hesitate any longer to buy! Glad I got it! Came earlier today. The set up is easy to follow but takes time because you have to find a suitable place for it to go and then you have to connect cables. Then after plugging into Xbox you’ll end up tweaking some of the controls to suit your needs. For example, on the customisable panel on the throttle quadrant you can programme around 10 buttons I think to do what you want. I set to things like flaps up/down, landing gear, auto pilot, switch from external view to cockpit view etc. so the set up took a while. The flying itself takes a little getting used to if like me you’ve just moved away from using the Hotas One joystick. It’s like learning to drive in a Mini and then buying a Porsche. So many buttons to customise and memorise. But it’s awesome and feels very much like a real plane. Makes this whole set up feel less of a “game” and more of a real flying experience. I can’t recommend this enough. It works on PC as well as my xbox series S. no hassles at all setting up or using. The mrs wanted me to wrap it up for myself for Xmas day. She’s mental! it got opened and used right away… and you will too like a kid on Christmas Day! Enjoy

I purchased same unit last year June for my Son but he didn't open it for several months and then after opening we found some software issue and tried to sort it by myself and manufacturer support team but didn’t work, I inform the issue to Amazon (seller was Amazon) for the first time after 14 months of purchase and they accept to replace it with a new one 😍 which working perfectly now. Thank you so much Amazon team, you guys are amazing.

muy completo pero el yoke se siente de calidad pobre, tengan cuidado con los cursores en forma de cruz, se rompen al uso si los aprietas mal

Likes: Trim wheel, throttle quadrant, ability to simulate small prop plane and large commercial aircraft, almost plug & play. Dislikes: Confusion, erroneous, inconsistent instructions. Overall, I found the product to be very good for use as a training tool to keep up with the flying skills, or to learn new piloting skills.

Le titre est moins grandiloquent qu'il n'en a l'air, étant donné qu'il s'agit du seul yoke compatible xbox actuellement, mais vous n'y méprenez pas, il n'en reste pas moins excellent et propose un package particulièrement complet, qui intéressera les utilisateurs Xbox comme PC ! Mon ressenti en 10 points : Les + : - Propose un ensemble complet et versatile, qui se suffit à lui même lors des vols. Nul besoin d'acheter d'autres produits afin d'avoir un rendu immersif, même sans palonnier les gâchettes permettent un contrôle relativement convaincant (un palonnier Turtle Beach arrive cependant bientôt sur le marché). Le fait d'avoir le manche, les commandes de gaz, de volets, ainsi que des boutons personnalisables, tous inclus dans un seul et unique package est très agréable à l'utilisation. - Le V1F n'est pas avare de commandes personnalisables : que ce soit sur le manche directement ou près des commandes de gaz, il y en a une flopée. Cela permet de limiter au maximum le recours à la manette ou au clavier/souris pour effectuer certaines actions, on peut réserver ces derniers à des action très spécifiques avec des boutons assignés. - Les boutons "hatswitch" sont très pratiques, ils permettent un maniement facile de la caméra et donc une meilleure immersion. En assignant correctement ces boutons, on peut vraiment arriver à se sentir libre dans le cockpit. - La roue de trim est absolument fantastique, je n'avais encore jamais vu ça sur un système comme celui-ci, et c'est très réussis au niveau du ressenti : un ajout très appréciable étant donné la forte utilisation qu'on fait de celle-ci dans le cockpit. - La présence de commande de gaz façon aviation générale, un ajout génial. Cela ne rend pas les commandes du dessus inutiles pour autant lorsque l'on pilote un avion type Cessna 152, on peut facilement les configurer pour autre chose (par exemple la commande des volets). Les - : - Les configurations de base sont utilisables dès la première connexion, mais trop générales. Il reste pleins de boutons non attribués. Vous devez donc prendre le temps de configurer différents profils en fonction des types d'avions que vous souhaitez utiliser. Pas de panique, il existe plein de ressources sur Youtube pour vous accompagner dans la configuration. J'ai personnellement utilisé une video de SimHanger Flight Simulation, et cela fonctionne à merveille. - Le panneau d'affichage SID fonctionne sur PC mais pas encore sur Xbox. Cela arrivera très certainement, mais impossible de savoir quand exactement. - Au début, le manche fait preuve d'une certaine friction dans l'axe avant/arrière (profondeur), cependant cela s'estompe avec le temps. Pour accélérer ce processus, vous pouvez bouger le manche d'avant en arrière pendant les temps de chargement. - Les manettes de gaz du dessus n'ont pas beaucoup de friction. Ce n'est pas dérangeant dans l'absolu étant donné qu'une fois positionnées elles ne bougent pas, mais c'est moins immersif. - L'écran sur le manche n'est pas très utile en pratique, il permet simplement de naviguer dans les paramètres et pourquoi pas mettre un chronomètre. J'ai essayé de trouver autant de points négatifs que de points positifs, mais il est clair que les moins sont minimes par rapport à tout le positif. Pour la plupart ils sont seulement temporaire, et n'entacheront pas votre expérience sur le long terme. Je ne peux que vous le conseiller, d'autant plus que le support est très réactif et à l'écoute, avec notamment un serveur discord dédié. Les FAQ sont aussi bien fournies. Ce n'est pas donné, mais avec d'autres marques cela reviendrait plus cher d'acheter séparément les modules afin de constituer un ensemble avec les mêmes fonctionnalités que le V1F.
