Xbox FS2020: Setting up the Velocity One Flight From Scratch!

[@DiscoDave50]

Another cracking video. I have a couple of different settings - I use the same button you have for brakes for left brake and the one on the right for right brakes so I have independent braking 👍

[@Huddison]

Great idea Dave 👍

@@Huddison Did you get your honeycomb XPC? I received both with the xbox hub

[@Huddison]

Not as et, but eagerly awaiting it.

[@cvt8001]

@@Huddison Once you get it, the Velocityone will go to storage. I don't think I'm going to use my Velocityone anymore. The honeycomb XPC and the Bravo throttle are superior and outstanding products.

[@pnc1969]

@@cvt8001 I didn't realize there's now another yoke that's compatible with Xbox. Glad I came across your comment! The Honeycomb XPC does have great reviews and seems to be a superior product especially with regard to the elevator control mechanism. I'm on my second Velocity One as the original had stiction in the pitch-up elevator control that, in working with TB support was still never cured. They replaced mine under warranty. I'm still in "break-in" phase on the second one and have fingers crossed pitch-up stiction does go away!!

[@xburk550]

Thank you for this. Mine is in for repair after last update and fear the same situation when it returns. I will hopefully get to use this video shortly. 👍👍👍On a side note, I've never seen so many issues due to an update in all my years of gaming.

[@Huddison]

Hopefully your profiles & assignments will still be there. I expect issues with any sim updates now.

[@05myles]

Seems to be lots of different scenarios happening with this update. I was lucky enough to not lose all my v1 settings. But if I want to set Flap axis (0 to 100%) the bar that was there that shows you moving the for instance joystick l axis 7 has disappeared. Its the same for any axis that has a setting (0to 100%). Plus it still crashes, not so annoying as it loads faster. Also I had to reinstall the sim. As it would always crash back to dashboard as I was starting my flights. Thanks Huddison for all the work you put in to help us out. Much appreciated.

[@Huddison]

It does seem te be quite the troublesome update for many. I'll have to look into the flaps axis issues.

[@richardcrabtree8846]

Thanks Huddison. This is really helpful.

No worries Richard.

[@Huddison]

Many thanks Mike.

[@dustyeagle]

I had an issue of SIP not working after FW update 1.3.3. I found that you need to -- 'activate SIP_FP001 in the Yoke´s settings'. Once I did that SIP works as advertised. I did not lose any of my profile settings yet (smile).......

[@errolrpartridge]

Seems like I was really lucky (so far...) not to lose all of MY profiles. I have about 8-10 setups, grouped into plane types, plus a detailed keyboard profile. I would have been mightily p!55ed off to have lost them. The ability to back them up within the VF app would be great.

[@Huddison]

100% agreed: we've wanted a way t back up MSFS since launch.

[@JuanJoseGarciaDelaCruz.]

🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@terrygarbutt5760]

Thanks for your usual great tutorial. Fortunately my update didn’t wipe out the basic settings but your info allows me to reset the basics to your more informed choice. As an aside i just received the new honeycomb xpc Alpha and the hub! Yes actually received this 2 days after release. I look forward to setting it up with the Xbox Series X! BUT The Bravo lights don,t work. A known HC issue. Blame MSFS/Aero! Sound familiar. While the lights don’t work the bravo does although the control assignment is hopeless. Unlike V1 Alpha,Bravo and Charlie show as one controller. None of the controls are labeled!!, HC US / Canada do not appear to be helpful ….yet… Time wil tell. I wonder HC Eutope or U will have any better support. I hope you have been able to purchase the new Alpha, Bravo and hub and give us the benefit of your experience please consider setting up a patron so we can donate to your $$ overhead. How best to contact you to cover some of my current discoveries.

[@Huddison]

I have mine on pre-order from day one, but still awaiting its arrival.

[@lostintime7292]

Did you by any chance make a video of these settings for the pc? I recently got mine yesterday and have been trying to set my controls up before I start flying with it. Thanks so much for your videos by the way, they are really helpful.

You should be able to copy the same setup from this video, on the PC.

[@Huddison]

[@1956guillermo]

Hello Mr. Huddison, as always, this is a great video. I wanted to ask you something that is off topic, please help. I want to upgrade my video card. At this moment I have a Radeon RX 590 with 8 RAM. I wanted to buy a NAVIDIA RTX 3080 is it worth it or do you recommend something better? I only have $1,000 to spare. I have an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8core processor and 32 G of RAM. If anyone of your followers have an impute, it is welcome.

[@Huddison]

Definitely asking this one in the Discord (link in the description) - I personally would opt for the 3080; but I' not really a GPU expert.

[@terrygarbut1442]

It would be great if you could do a similar YT for the new Honeycomb XPC Alpha, the Bravo (which currently is not fully operational with the Xbox …sound familiar Asobo?) and the Logitech pedals (which is better IMO than Charlie) but it’s brakes don’t work. I asked Honeycomb to do the right thing and send you the XPC Alpha, Bravo & hub! Your Xbox support would be greatly appreciated!

[@Huddison]

I have the XPC yoke on pre-order, but still yet to receive it. Edit: just took a quick look at my email & my pre-order has been cancelled, due to stocking issues. Que sera, sera

[@onlyapawn4371]

Thx for these videos huddison you are a life saver. Just one question. My profiles are still intact and I notice the sensitivity settings on this video are slightly different to the ones you recommended 4 months ago and I was just wondering whether there has been a slight error or if these are the revised settings. No worries if you don't get time to answer me I'll try them both anyways I was just curious. 🙂 Thx again.

[@Huddison]

Sorry missed this comment; it got put in my 'Held for review' comment section. The settings are revised for this video. Feel free to use which ever suit yourself :)

[@Theslowsquid]

Hi! Thanks for this video, I’m new to flight sim and just picked up the V1. In regarding to the engine levers is this a general profile that will work for most aircraft’s? Or do I have to be specific and make different profiles for different types of crafts? (I.e # of engines etc)

[@Huddison]

You are best setting up different profiles for aircraft that have different engine configurations; like 3-4 engine aircraft.

[@Kuzey6707]

I don’t even have an option for velocity one flight when I go to controls options. There is only a controller option. I have the yoke set on the xbox option because that’s what I play on but I can’t even get the game to acknowledge it. Please help🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@jennifercasper7629]

Yes it lights up. But doesn’t show up on my control options

[@TonyGator78]

Hi @Hudisson I have tried to follow this video to configure my new Turtle Beach Velocity One Flight but seem to have got into a right mess. First off I am using it on an Xbox Series X with MS Flight Sim. I have set it up with default Single Engine plane on the sim as well as the controller. The buttons are already assigned with settings in the controller but I am having problems either changing them or using them in the sim training mode. *Do you move the curser around the screen by having a keyboard or Xbox controller or a mouse also attached or in your video is your Velocity One Flight the only device connected to the Xbox S? *I tried using the standard Xbox controller (wirelessly) alongside the Velocity One Flight to access menus and settings that the Velocity One could not (?) but the combination of both connected devices played havoc with the things I tried to change/test/copy from your video. I am finding the Training Mode/ Control and Settings familiarisation guides in the FS ask for specific key strokes that are not active/available for the use requested, and cannot progress through actions in order to perform the tasks/events being requested by the narrator. Sorry to take up space and time on your KZbin video but would really appreciate any advice or tips etc., your video is excellent but it just didn’t work in the same way on my setup as it stands at the moment. Cheers 👍🏻

[@Huddison]

I use a mouse with my Velocity One Flight, on my Series S. Are those the training missions that you are referring to? This will be easier to answer on our Discord & you'll also get pointers there from others who may have encountered the same issues.

[@TonyGator78]

@@Huddison thank you for your response. How do you connect the mouse to your Xbox S and does it clash with the Velocity One? The training I refer to is the “how to fly and use the controls and instruments” pre-flying narrated lessons. A female voice explains different actions to illustrate controls and settings inside the cockpit prior to actual flight.

[@Huddison]

@@TonyGator78 I use a standard USB mouse connected to my Series S. It does not conflict with the Velocity One Flight. I believe the training missions use their own pre-set controls scheme (I could be mistaken on this).

[@TWOKDOK1]

I was trying to set up my system for the first time today. One question, when you go from pilot position over the nose to normal position and then use your POV again it takes you into instruments. Does this mean that the last POV down (Next insturment view) toggles you into instrument view and POV up from there takes you out of instrument view. The fact that there is a toggle instrument view command suggests that you need to toggle in and out. Presumably this means that this toggle is done automatically when POV'ing down (and up) from pilot view to switch you in and out of instrument mode (very confusing)

[@Huddison]

I'm not 100% clear on your question here David, but when I go move my hat down to select 'Previous Pilot Position', I then have extra settings (still under Camera/Instrument Views) for 'Previous Instrument View' (left hat) & Next Instrument View (right hat) - hope that clarifies this for you.

[@TWOKDOK1]

@@Huddison The issue is that, as you showed in your video, using the same POV for cockpit and instrument views means that, to avoid a conflict, the system has to switch between cockpit and instrument modes. There is a SET instrument view so I initially thought that you would have to use that to separate cockpit and instruments. However, it appears that continuing to clicking down from over the nose, through pilot position and then down on to the LH PFD switches thePOV from cockpit to instrument control. I have now set it up that my left hand POV controls it all, when in instrument view, clicking right on POV takes me through all the instrument views and clicking left repeatedly takes me back right thru the instruments to pilot view (I can also use the reset view - button 2 in my case). So the switching in and out of camera mode from and to instrument mode is done for you; Most of these settings are in the single engine piston profile except that next and previous instrument views are on HAT1 rather than the POV1. I simply re-mapped these to the POV1 and now have very intuitive control of the pilot and instrument views on the one button.

[@Aj-vg7fp]

Many thanks , I have no clue why the trim wheel is not moving , yes Im using the pc version setup and I'm switching between them but not giving any signal that it functions If you have any clue please share with us Thanks By the way we truly miss your technique setting up VR its a loss for us

[@Huddison]

The only thing I suggest re the trim wheel is to endure that the cables are securely connected between the throttle & yoke - but I'll be sure you have already ascertained that.

[@glennfeldt2009]

My throttle lever only goes half way in the game. It doesn’t go all the way from 0 to 100%🤔

[@robertgrady4079]

I came aboard again after the update 10 but I am having a problem with the quadrant of the VF1 with the throttle. I have deleted the reverse but the power never reaches full but about halfway through it goes back to idle power. This occurs with my Flight Stick throttle setting also. Any suggestions or should I go to Turtle beach support? Thanks

[@Huddison]

It sounds like either a conflict or a wrong binding. I do have a channel in the Discord showing my V1F setup - or we can certainly help you in there.

[@TPHI17]

Great video once again. I was lucky enough not to lose any of my bindings, but all my sensitivity settings were lost. And now I find if I try to go into the sensitivity settings before the picture of the velocity shows up on the right hand side it shows no data so I have to wait a good 20 seconds After the picture has shown up and then I can enter sensitivity settings

[@Huddison]

I noticed a fair bit of buffering after SU10.

[@outdoorsdelmarva5691]

Can you do a video on the proper way to set throttles for twin engine planes? Mine was working fine out of the box, but then ...all heck broke loose. A few friends have had the same issue, where all button assignments were dropped from the profile. on the Xbox Turtle Beach yoke system...some profiles even disappeareed.

[@Huddison]

I'll certainly consider that.

[@goofydudeoutdoors614]

i did the update on my v1 and yea all my settings still good ,the only thing is my alt light stays on all the time . do you know why?

[@Huddison]

I'm not certain why the 'alt' light stays lit; the TB discord may uncover some answers.

[@oscarburke-ik5vb]

When I go in the plane all cockpit screens and lights are turned off where can I find where to bind this to automatically turn it all on

[@Huddison]

This will be a great question for our Discord - many have been helped there.

[@CRB487]

I’m worried that when I buy this item I will need to update it. Is the Turtle Beach App on Xbox?

[@Huddison]

It's not mandatory to update it, but doing so will give you SIP panel functionality etc.

[@kiflelk]

How do you jump back into the cockpit after selecting your buttons?

[@Huddison]

My preferred way of doing this is to set a button on your controller for 'COCKPIT/EXTERNAL VIEW MODE', Under 'CAMERA MODE SWITCHES' in Controls Options. It'll toggle you to/from Cockpit/external views.

mine will not connect to my xbox series x
