FS2020: Velocity One Flight - My 'Few Months Later' Honest Review!

[@SCAerialsSteveCarpenter]

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!

[@Huddison]

I can't add much to do your comments justice - thank you :)

[@dunxy]

Same here! I found this channel researching this yoke myself and it has been very helpful indeed.

[@daxgaming6391]

Same here, found this channel after looking for a review a few months on. I read about the yoke stickiness and turtle saying it will ease up with use.

[@Turner9090]

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!

[@Huddison]

100% agree! I'm working on a video using it with other games to show its versatility.

[@inisolation6582]

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.

[@Huddison]

You humble me Sir - and I bet it's a massive upgrade for you coming from a Keyboard only.

[@dunxy]

I use the rim a lot myself, as far as real life goes it depends, the way modern airliners work they pretty well auto trim so i wouldn't call it cheating! I cant believe you flew on a kb, that would indeed be painful!

[@Len_J_]

@@Huddison agreed! Who the hell uses a keyboard to fly a plane! At least use a joystick!

[@thumperboyad1031]

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.

[@Huddison]

That's a good tip - enjoy your new yoke ;)

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.

Again, thanks for your opinions and have a wonderful day!

[@handoromper7987]

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.

[@Huddison]

Wow that's amazing - glad you're enjoying it as much as I am!

[@BXYKINS]

Do you use a headset for VR?

[@nopenotme6369]

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.

[@KlutchKuad]

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👍🏼

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.

[@Huddison]

Let me know how it goes.

[@aussiecaptsarcasm9100]

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!!!!

[@Huddison]

Great points, I can imagine it's a bit more challenging to discern controls in VR.

[@dunxy]

HAHA, its almost like two separate people/teams did the ga/trim (fantastic) and the quadrant (not fantastic)! I am happy to mod it, even if i have to void my warranty and pull the throttle apart and build a tensioning system, maybe even some nice billet levers...

Yup.... Between this and the throttle fix videos talking about putting a small piece of self adhesive felt pad into the gap to increase resistance, and it sounds like the V1 is the best bag for buck for the MSFS 2020 crowd. ie: Me. Good thing I can pick up overtime at work to pay for this monster! I also will be crying from Canada as my wallet bleeds! Cheers!

[@dave-j-k]

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.

[@Huddison]

Interesting, Ill have to test that.

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.

[@Huddison]

Fair score - & thank you ;)

[@tommy5285]

Apparently there is a cheap fix for the throttles. a bit of felt furniture pad will add resistance to the throttle and solve the loose issues with it.

[@thelatman41]

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.

[@Huddison]

The Radio panel is a good option, it's something I use a fair bit.

[@Kevin-hb7yq]

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.

[@Huddison]

I've a few videos up reviewing various aspects of the V1F. The yoke axis (particularly in the elevator) were sticky at first, but have since smoothed out with use. The trim wheel's sensitivities can be altered in both X-plane & MSFS; it is considered widely to be one of the very best trin wheels on the market.

[@Kevin-hb7yq]

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!

[@Huddison]

A mouse for sure; keyboard would be useful.

[@Dr.Occulari]

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.

Great point Dr; there is no doubt that a set of rudder pedal is the optimal way to fly & on that point, I'm very much looking forward to TB rudders hopefully coming soon.

@@Duvoncho It's probably the most features loaded system out there.

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

[@Huddison]

It should have a default profile setup for you, ready to use out of the box.

[@CRB487]

Thanks!

[@ZiggyAir]

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.

[@Huddison]

Yes, like with driving, you have better control with both hands on the yoke (or wheel in a car).

[@ZenonZolek]

And there in lies the problem, two hands and you can't adjust throttle or propeller

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 ?

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.

Currently, to navigate in menus etc, you still require either the gamepad or mouse.

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.

[@Huddison]

The SIP is still not implemented on Xbox at this time. I did ask James from Turtle Beach, as to when it will come to the Xbox: he said that they are working hard with Asobo to bring it over to the Xbox platform. That's all we know, at this time.

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.

[@Huddison]

Bear with the stiffness, it does improve - wobble though; can you elaborate more?

[@davewood482]

@@Huddison thanks for the reply. There is a couple of degrees movement in all directions with yoke where the shaft goes into the back of the yoke.

[@Huddison]

Thanks Dave. I've alerted James from Turtle Beach regarding my new video - I believe he's aiming to come in and answer a few queries

[@airste172]

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.

[@Huddison]

The Majority of Flight Yokes within this price range have an element of 'Toy-ness' about them. I'm still more than happy with my own V1F.

[@airste172]

@@Huddison I'm happy with the fact that I had the opportunity to try out a friend's yoke before making the purchase, which saved me a nice bit of money and spared me the disappointment.

[@TKOBarber]

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?

[@Old_B52H_Gunner]

Not yet, but Turtle Beach has some coming out eventually, I’ve seen them, they are currently in testing.

[@Huddison]

The only way to connect the T-Flight Rudders currently, is via the Hotas One.

[@stu8715]

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.

[@Huddison]

Try and use it often and you should find that the stiffness eases. It does need to be altered in production models going forward.

[@njdnjdnjd]

@@Huddison have they offered any update on a production fix for this issue. I’m so tempted to get this as I pretty much only fly the 152 or 172, as that’s what I learned to fly in real life. Also how is the response for subtle movements with the yoke? Is it good? Also what about the analog rudder buttons, do they work well? Thx 🙏

[@neodecker]

Has anyone used this Yoke in Star Citizen?

[@Old_B52H_Gunner]

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.

[@Huddison]

It sounds like you had terrible luck with your units - these are certainly worth keeping an eye on.

But other words such as Aluminium, he has no trouble with at all and doesn't completely ignore the last I and tell everyone thats how its supposed to be. Same for the Name Craig. despite his injury is still doesnt come out as KREG !!
