Turtle Beach VelocityOne Flight makes jumping into the cockpit a breeze

The company's first flight yoke controller doesn't stick the landing and is on the pricey side, but it's still a ton of fun to use. Xbox users will be happy to know they finally have a proper yoke solution that works straight out of the box.

Hey guys, Chase here! I see some questions about the head tracking-- I am using the Tobii Eye Tracker 5 to translate my head movements into the game. Reply to this comment with any other questions you have, whether about the VelocityOne Flight or flight sim peripherals in general! Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed the video.

You know VR is a thing, right?

[@garymarch4711]

@@Bongo2k You wouldn't be able to look at your actual physical buttons, controls, etc.. Would be cool though to have see through high tech VR goggles.

[@jaysonv2]

a little helpful advice... when reviewing something like this you should never use other products like in this case "Tobii Eye Tracker Five" which cost an addiction $250. People would want to see exactly how this would work with default equipment included when doing a review. Better to have shown us the view (looking around) using the HAT button or whatever you can use with any or all the Turtle Beach Velocity products included, but nothing added.

Hey Chase. New flight sim. Can you pair any peddles with this velocity one flight on Xbox?

[@callmekorben]

@@jaysonv2I totally agree with you.

Gotta give CNET credit. They have a ton of enthusiast on the ready for just about any category to give detailed and robust reviews. You would rarely get reviews like this outside of a flight sim KZbin channel. Kudos 👍🏾

That looks totally awesome! I think I will give the Velocity One a try. It looks like something I would enjoy without it being overly complicated.

[@owenklein1917]

I’ve had this yoke for over a year now. I love it. My favorite part about it is the little pad below the throttles, they aren’t preset so you can bind them to whatever you want. Although I wish there was more tension for the throttle quadrant

[@mstk8845]

In the past, I only knew Turtle Beach for their cheapo gaming headsets. This is an interesting move towards a very enthusiast/niche market. I see they took some inspiration from Logitech/Saitek with yoke RGB resembling the Logitech X56 HOTAS flight controller. One question: What is GNU/Linux compatibility like?

Like this ! great review - I think the AP features of the ALPHA and the TM Boeing are better options. My inventory seems to be growing ! I couldnt help but notice the detail of the SF Bay Area on your SIM (MSFS ? ) did you add any terrain features ? I am an SF Native and have had trouble getting a satisfying realism for SF. I did use ORBX for XPLANE which was an improvement. NOt sure about MSFS. Thanks -

Can we add a pedals controller after for MFS ? or only is possible to to use one control at a time ? I ask because I do not know anything about it and I want to buy this and pedals to trying to get a closer experience to real, thank you for your time to answer

[@garyruff2755]

[@stephenmason5682]

Small, precise movement on the pitch is a tad juddering? Now I've noticed when using the rudder on the xbox version, the vhs map zooms out? Not traced the error yet?

[@grantar2]

Three questions. The triggers work as rudders are they pressure sensitive so you can regulate input? Can regular rudder pedals say those from Logitek be used? Will you be doing a comparison between this rig and the Honeycomb yoke and throttle?

[@chaseevans9184]

Yes the triggers are pressure sensitive, if youre on xbox than I would double check compatibility with those rudder pedals but if you are on PC than you can plug in any assortment of controllers and MSFS will see them all. I may do a comparison between the Honeycomb and this, since I have both. Thanks for the idea!

[@grantar2]

@@chaseevans9184 Thanks for the reply. I will be running my flight sim using a PC and MS Flight. I had been planning on waiting until the Honeycomb rudder pedals were available and go the who set, but the Turtle Beach looks like it could be a better choice as the design supports my chosen aircraft 152 and 182. However, in setting up a useable cockpit the issue is which offers more value and requires fewer add Ons.

[@Gio-vf1zf]

How did you get the IR Tracker to work on Xbox console? Isn't that PC based only?

what do you use so you can turn your head and the screen moves dosent look like your using VR headset?

[@PublicEn3my1]

What are you using to make the camera move while you turn your head?

[@benh2134]

I can't seem to find the answer to this... does this yoke only do single engine prop and multiengine jet? Or can it do multiengine propeller as well? Like the DA42 for instance.

[@PimptatoPCs]

At 0:36 you're pulling and turning the yoke and the plane doesn't respond at all. I was expecting a small delay but it didn't respond at all. What's up with that?

[@danielxyz405]

If you don't have the rudder system then which buttons are used for that?

Is it as good as the Honeycomb Alpha Yoke and Bravo throttle quadrant. It's cheaper the the Honeycomb.

[@jeffl1484]

I wonder how bad the "lag" is between controller and the plane actually following the pitch/bank. Seems to be a bit?

[@get_outdoors]

The play is terrible on the yoke, I really hope they fix this along with the poor throttle resistance.

[@bobcomit854]

Good video but on the last part of the video where you are flying a 150 or 152 it does not have prop control they have fixed props

[@dguisinger]

I wish it had rudder pedals.... as a pilot I hate the guy of flight controls that are "so close" but having a major set of controls moved on me, I don't really like the idea of hopping in an airplane and accidentally trying to use the rudder triggers when I need rudder during a landing....

[@doubleitp]

you can always just buy a set of pedals...

[@dave-j-k]

This is a great yoke, a little expensive but works well, please be aware though that there is a bug in the software [FS2020] that is preventing save of controller sensitivity settings - its not restricted to this controller either. It really is a big issue as the sensitivity on some axes really does need tweaking to get good response.

Yeah it's affecting my Hotas One as well

[@MartysRandomStuff]

That play on the rod can't be normal, it will just lead to the plastic breaking eventually. This seems to be aimed at higher end sim users so why did they add that detent? The throttle quadrant seems nice, but too many issues with the yoke for that much money. Several pilot deviations in that flight, better be ready to take down a number to call... 🙂

[@Zuckerpuppekopf]

Do the vernier controls acutally operate as vernier, ie. turning them fine tunes the position, as they do in real life? This is more important for the mixture control, so the cable and screw motions should be present to properly simulate that control at minimum.

[@chaseevans9184]

Great question! The vernier controls do not rotate. Also, sadly the prop mix is useless in MSFS at the moment. Really hoping they change that soon!
