It’s been almost 20 years since I have been hardcore into Flight Simulator. Thanks so much for your videos and hard work! It has really helped me get back into the groove!
Dude thank you so much, you helped me alot, I was struggling finding the right video because my controls got wiped for some unknown reason. Thank you so much, you earned a sub!
I am incredibly grateful for this guidance. I would never have managed this alone in a million years. I have faithfully followed the guidance and enjoyed a few tremendous flights. Thank you.
Really Appreciate every video you have done for Xbox. I left Windows Many Years ago and Missed MFS so much. When it became available on Xbox I jumped at it, with your Help and Instruction I am like a kid again, I Love it so please keep up the excellent work....
Aloha from Hawaii!! Today's date is Thursday December 22nd 2022 and tomorrow my velocity one should arrive from Amazon. Your video on part one and two on how to configure the velocity one is absolutely amazing I can't wait to put everything in effect. The video and narration is absolutely great!! Thank you for making this video and I look forward to watching many more that you have available, Merry Christmas from Hawaii!!
I am new to Xbox and MSFS and have found your two tutorials (Parts 1 & 2) to be so useful in configuring my recently received VelocityOne Flight Yoke and Throttle. I have finished both parts now and everything has worked perfectly. You have made the tutorials easy to follow for a beginner. I thought I had a problem with the flaps, as did Andrew Rhodes, but I think I solved the problem by turning off Assisted Takeoff - please refer to my reply to his post. Thank you very much for your great work. I am a subscriber and look forward to all your flight simmer videos.
Mark, you are the ABSOLUTE BEST! You must have been a teacher in this or a past life...your instruction is concise, well-narrated and well-filmed, and I'm sure that I (as well as many, MANY others!) have greatly benefited from your experience. Glad you're here and dedicated to helping others... Couple of questions for you: 1. I've copied profiles over as you showed in Parts 1 and 2 and have stopped (for the time being) after setting up V1F_single_TR. Will get to twins and jets a bit later. When it came to setting up the upper right stick on the throttle quadrant for flaps axis, it programmed OK but when I go for a test flight and watch the flaps lever on the console, it moves sort of "herky-jerky". I can hear the "noise" of the flaps moving up/down and see them moving if I go to external view. It just doesn't seem to work as smoothly as it did when you demo'd it in your test flight. QUESTION: Could having "all assists" on when doing those test flights be interfering with the settings, or do the assists work ONLY in training and not in free flight? If it's not the assists, I must have mis-entered something and will have to go back a profile or two. 2. At this point, I have some "unassigned" buttons, namely, HAT-1 up/down, and B9/B10 on the programmable buttons on the TQ above the vernier controls. Any suggestions for things to program those to? I also don't have anything assigned to POV-2/External...best just to program that to an external 360 freelook? Finally, glad to see TB is on the ball and put out an update/instructions for the reverse thrust issue. (I liked how you had it set up on HAT-1 up/down but might as well do it TB's way as it seems a bit more...authentic). While I haven't gotten as far as twins and jets yet on the profiles, setting it up for one stick was pretty easy...pretty much the same thing for multi-engines? Cheers, and keep up the GREAT work! 🙂
@@neilmackey9626 thanks Neil, glad you found it useful 😀and thank you for supporting the channel, much appreciated. Unassigned buttons could be assigned to autopilot functions. Pilot assist does interfere with these settings as your setting flaps up and your copilot might be trying to set flaps down for example. Turn off pilot assist when checking assignments. 👍
Mark, your tutorials are the best. And I watch all tutorials for this gear. What make yours so excellent is the way you approach your viewers. Just explain how to set a control once (or twice) and rely on the intelligence of the viewer to repeat that for their own assignment. And you concentrate on the things that really matter. In this case which control is best used for a given function on a type of aircraft. One tip: on aircraft without prop control you might assign the vernier prop control to be used as parking brakes. On the aircraft shown the control is also a vernier like one.
@@sethkazzim731 There might be an even better way. Since today TB released new firmware, that makes it possible to map reverse thrust to the four top levers by way of using the full downward move of all those as a new button. If you don’t need all of those levers for engines and have set one up as gear up/down you could use the down move for parking brakes. That will not interfere with gear up/down as parking brakes only make sense with your landing gear being down.
Just managed to input all your settings from both videos. Had to get through some bugs, but finally figured it all out. I recommend anyone who purchased the V1 to do the same. Even if you find it's not perfect for your taste, it makes you learn a ton along the way. Thanks SH!
hi MArc... first able i never comment on video or esle.. However for you i had too... i wanted to buy a yoke for my xbox as a mid beginner but passionate and your video first on yokes helped a lot. then what can i say i bought this morning the Velocity and i love it despite a tough start with the firmare update bug... i have to be honest without these settings videos i dont think i would have bought one, kinda comlicated to all set up... but i follow yours step by step and it came out just GREAT!!!! the job you did, the patience, the time you took to describe it all its AMAZING and i cnt thank you enough. My msfs20 experience will take a huge turn and its cause of you so THANK YOU
Thanks Mark, superb tutorial as always. your a great help to the sim community, thank you for your commitment to helping others. Looking forward to your tutorial for the PC.
Of course, as soon as I fiddled around with the reverse thrust question, Turtle Beach releases a firmware update (and accompanying instructions) that now make the detent/reverse thrust functionality work as it should have from day 1. Kudos to TB for solving that issue so quickly.
Except having just updated Firmware to 1.1.0, it doesn’t work. Firstly the detent action only seems to work ONCE when recording inputs in the control settings - once recorded for one of the inputs, they stop working. Secondly, the input recorded by the Xbox does not match what TB advise in the instructions. It is supposed to be Buttons 41-44 but I actually get Joystick L-Axis 2+ (or close variations). Have given up and reverted to the suggestions here.
@@PrinceBarin77 That's exactly what happened to me. In order to get buttons 41-44 to show up, I had to force-quit MSFS, remove the VF1 USB cable and then start MSFS from scratch. Then everything worked as expected. It's all just a tiny bit fiddly right now, but after a few fits and starts it seems stable now.
@@Rick-ik2dd Thank you!! I think the “quick resume” status of my game was the issue. As you suggested, force quit the game, restarted everything and voila! All sorted. Much appreciated 🍻
Amazing video, expecting to have mine V1 arriving soon, perfect video to make the experience more enjoyable, Thanks so much for the video, that was a lot of work and time you put in to this video!!
I finally figured out how to use thrust reversers on the jumbo jets without hold or toggle. Just goto settings and change throttle 1 decrease thrust as lever 2 button beyond detent and same for throttle 2 for lever 3 on velocity levers. Once thrust is at 0 pulling lever 2 and 3 back now decreases throttle into the reverse position. Hope its easy to understand now i dont have to press anything else just pull thrust levers back now and it reverses. Took me ages to figure out 😁
Thank you so much for these profiles! I got a new V1 today. I could not make the flap lever work, it kept “stuttering” in every plane neither going completely flaps down. I’m going to assign the flaps to two unused buttons but I’m not sure which one is best. Okay I figured out I had some assists that were still on. Thanks for all your help.
Thx a lot for useful settings🎉the v1f now is much better to handle, modd & understand with most of its rich combinations...firstly turtle beach has to spend a big pay check outsourcing their job on you😉Cheers Mark🍻
Thank you so much, it was a challenge for me since my game is in Spanish and not everything is in the same place, but it helped me a lot. My husband bought me the controller for my birthday and I haven’t been able to use it because of the configuration; now the issue is that in-game, it doesn’t detect the VF controller…
A tutorial to help you configure your Velocityone Flight controller for use with multiple different aircraft in MSFS. Hope it helps. Comment below if you have a better way of doing things for the benefit of the flightsim community. Thanks
For reverse thrust I’m using toggle reverse thrust and mapping it to Joystick L-axis 8+ (pulling the black Venturi throttle stick towards you) It didn’t work but my theory would be that that “button” would activate reverse thrust and then I could push it back in to deactivate and do the same with the prop feather. Wonder why I can’t get that to work? Any idea why it won’t let that be a work around?
Hey Mark, as always very clear and precise directions on configuring the Velocity One. Thank you as you really do make things simple. Finally you mentioned some information on configuring sensitivity settings. Is that in a separate video?
You are such a life saver! I'm very new to MSFS and VelocityOne and I was having extremely hard time trying to figure out all the controls and somehow found my way to your videos which is very helpful! Thank you so much for the detailed guide, I setup my controls exactly as you did! I have a rather silly question and I hope you don't mind me asking - What button or stick is assigned on VelocityOne to do the same function as "Right Stick" on Xbox controller? I'm unable to scroll down/left/right of the screen or even reduce the airspeed of a jet using the knob on the cockpit as it needs to be rotated. Idk if i'm doing it all wrong but it's been very confusing as a newbie.
Setting Flaps as per your instructions, however when I go to test them the flaps are set at Flaps 1 and no matter which way I push or pull the Flaps Lever it goes back to Flaps 1, even when in flight I cannot retract the flaps, any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong please.
I have the same problem with engine 3 and 4. I have them both assigned to Joystick L-axis 6 but they act weird. No problem with engine 1 and 2 which are assigned to Joystick L-axis 5. All help is very much appreciated.
Hi all, Im a green beginner, I know nothing about flying or Microsoft flight sim. I just purchased an XBox X and the Turtle Beach Velocity One. I don't know where to begin. Can someone please advise how to get the most out of the system? Thank you so much.
@@SimHangerFS I'm trying to get the zoom to work on a plus and minus range with a button, ie the more you press and hold the further/closer the zoom goes.
These tutorials were amazing, thank you. How do we get the green lights behind the yoke to work? They dont seem to flash or do anything when used with the xbox?
Excellent videos thanks for sharing. Can I just ask the various additional profiles you set up here for the different types of aircraft, do these named profiles show up or need to be selected on the little screen on the yoke? I think mine just says default, single engine and twin engine so only shows 3 options even though I created more profiles in the sim.
Thanks Mark for your tutorial 1/2. Still have a problem whit my yoke wich is still very ... well, not smoth in up and down specially in taxi and take off. Is it possible put some vaseline or any kind of oil (wd 40 as ex.) ? Y have almost 100 hours .... Thanks a have a great and safe 2022. From Portugal (jose)
To whoever this helps, for reverse thruster, they did make the detent a mapable button. But still, none of the hold/toggle reverse options actually put it in reverse. So I mapped that new button to "decrease throttle," and now when I'm at 0 throttle and lower it into the detent, it will go max reverse. So, there is no way to use the 0 to -15% throttle it goes from 0 to max -15% throttle.
Another awesome video. When you were saying (in the 747 setup) to put the engines in Rev, to use the throttle cut button on the yoke hat switch. Is that the up button? And to take it out of reverse you hit the down button. Thanks
Hi Mark thanks for the clips really useful. I have a question as I am new to flight sim and gaming I note Turtle beach recommend to keep all configurations on default to complete some of the flight training. If I configure as your part one and 2 will I still be able to use the flight training menu thanks.
I have an Xbox one, the controller worked out of the box in the main xbox menu etc. But not within msfs itself. I updated the firmware, restarted the Xbox, unplugged the controller etc. However, the control still doesn't work at in msfs, or show up as a controller option, any ideas?
Thanks for the setup tutorial as it has really helped me get up and flying with the TBV1F! When trying to fly the TBM 930, I cannot get the throttle over to the “idle/feather” position using the propeller. I have my setup exactly as yours is set for Turbo Props, but no matter what I do, I can’t get the throttle back over, it simply moves downward on the left side. Any ideas??? Thanks!
First and foremost, thanks for all three videos. The profiles you have created are a great start to get one in the air fast. The problem I am having is with the twin turboprop profile, propeller pitch isn't working properly. It does work properly in other profiles. The axis shows a full range of motion in the controller programmer but in the sim the controller is restricted to the lowest 25% of the range. I can move the pitch full range with the mouse but as soon as I touch the propeller control it jumps back down to the bottom of its range. Thoughts?
Mark - Thank you for your tutorials. I am a beginner and would have been completely lost without your lessons. I have a question and am hoping you or someone here can answer. I followed your part 1 and part 2 exactly. But when I set up my flaps axis using the right most level, it works fine in the control options. When I move the lever to the top the bar indicator moves to the right and if I leave the lever at the top, the bar indicator stays to the right. Same happens when I move the lever down. The problem is when I am back in the cockpit and I move the flaps lever, it kind of flickers but no matter where I leave the lever the indicator inside the cockpit snaps back to the center. In your video it nicely stays on the top. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. Many thanks again for your videos and Happy Holidays
Hi Mark thanks for part 1 and 2 I have spent a few hours on this now. When I create a new profile and configure the velocity 1 apply and saving after every configuration. The problem is it does not save the selections that I have made and does not even save the title of the profile. On my last attempt which is the 5th it seems to have saved the selected buttons under the default title and not the single engine basic which I named it. I worry about creating another profile and using the duplicate key and making the changes and re naming. I tried it last time and it did not duplicate from the basic settings what am I doing wrong I have followed your TH-cam clips 100% sorry and thanks for the advice.
Having a difficult time trying to get flaps to work the way you’re showing. When using your set up if my flaps extend at all will be by 10%, when way hung flap lever it comes down then immediately back up (747 set up). Firmware 1.4.0 Xbox series x
It should move. Check externally if the flaps are moving. If not then the config is wrong (make sure all pilot assist features are off) or the aircraft you’ve loaded is not using the default config. Check with default aircraft.
My issue is that when I scan for the lever for the spoiler or flaps it picks it up on scanning but when I validate it it doesn't show in the box and hence won't work. I've been at it trying to fix it for an hour or so and nothing worked. I did a firmware update to see if that was the issue and still nothing..
Hi Mark, this has been an amazing help - thank you! I seem to be having a problem with the flaps using the fourth quad arm. When I move it up and down, the flap lever in the cockpit is moving slightly but goes back to the original position. Did I do something obvious wrong?
You might have had the same problem as me Andrew. I went through Mark's tutorial and the flaps didn't work on any of the aircraft. I thought that it might be due to an overarching setting in MSFS (as I am new to simming and had everything set to "EASY"), so I went into Assistance Options/Piloting and turned off Assisted Takeoff. Hey presto - the flaps then worked everywhere!
@@flybeeson7950 Hi Alan, I'm using FS2020 on XBox X series, and was having exactly the same problem as you and Andrew with the Flaps returning to the middle and not having full function, etc...... Thanks to your very helpful comment ref turning the assisted take -off to "Off" has worked perfectly, so a huge thanks to you mate !!. All the very best John Urwin.
I am brand new to this flight sim. I have the Xbox x can the turtle beach controller be set up to the Xbox with just the Xbox controller or do I need a keyboard ?
Brilliant tutorials, I’m a newbie and they have helped a lot. Question: Will you need a Windows PC to do controller firmware updates, or can it be done via the XBOX? I’ve only seen peeps mention downloading the Turtle Beach control Center on Windows 10. ? As a Mac user only, I’m not sure if I’ll ever be able to update the controller and may need to return it whilst I can (Xmas present)😥
Hello and thanks so much for the detailed setup... Very helpful. I have one question/problem perhaps you've encountered. It seems no matter what throttle quadrant lever I assign ”flaps" to (using flap axis) the function is all over the place... Glitching out of you would. I thought it was a hardware defect on the velocity one however when I swapped with other items on the same level (say spoilers axis) the control was smooth and 1to1 matching in the sim... Very much unlike what the flaps were doing. Is there something I'm doing wrong or perhaps have conflicting settings? I watched part 1 & 2 if your videos very carefully b and think I did everything right??? Any suggestions would we very much appreciated. Thanks again for such great content.
Hello. I have followed the recipe for setting it up Velocityone, and it seems fine, EXCEPT the elevator axis It doesn't work properly at all What can I do??? Karl.
Mark, Excuse me again, I know I'm boring, but I need another help, when I use the autopilot but even if without this, the joke sometimes makes a quick movement always to the right, I think it's an input problem maybe something conflicts but I can't find the problem, has it happened to any of you? I would like to put a video to make it clearer but I am not authorized. I hope I made myself understood
i have a problem with your config. The game will not allow throttle one to work as normal. What i mean is the throttle will working in reverse, that means to get power i have to pull the black throttle back. If i set it to normal i.e. get rid of reverse axis, the throttle only goes in half way, it does not complete the full range of movement. when i have the throttle in reverse it does complete full movement. Also sometimes the game will pop the throttle forward or backwards, meaning it will jump half its movement.
@@SimHangerFS hi thanks for the reply it does not work i have all assists off. Also the trim wheel causes massive spikes, it is unusable. I got it to work it was a firmware problem. How do you map the jet to the pc velocity throttle etc, it has different names for axis , so i cannot use your video on for it. Thanks
i did manage to get the jet engines to work,, well in in a fashion i did. The black throttle for the small planes only works in reserve, meaning to get power, i have to pull it out. Tick the reserve box deadens it. I am at a loss what to do. i have no assists on and the throttle is now bound any where else.
Following a firmware update see my new reverse thrust and prop feather config here th-cam.com/video/n3aSfoWTqC4/w-d-xo.html

These videos are fantastic thank you! Can you do a video on your profile for the Super Hornet?
Hey Mark, as always very clear and precise directions on configuring the Velocity One. Thank you as you really do make things simple.
Finally you mentioned some information on configuring sensitivity settings. Is that in a separate video?
thank you for your advice and your time
Your very welcome
DONT FORGET TO TURN OF ASSISTED TAKE OFF AND LANDING OR ELSE SOME FUNCTIONS AS FLAPS WONT MOVE AND RESET BACK TO 10 DEGREES
Thank you for the advice! This solved the issue with the flaps
Can’t thank you enough! You have helped make this so enjoyable. 10/10🎉
You are such a life saver! I'm very new to MSFS and VelocityOne and I was having extremely hard time trying to figure out all the controls and somehow found my way to your videos which is very helpful! Thank you so much for the detailed guide, I setup my controls exactly as you did! I have a rather silly question and I hope you don't mind me asking - What button or stick is assigned on VelocityOne to do the same function as "Right Stick" on Xbox controller? I'm unable to scroll down/left/right of the screen or even reduce the airspeed of a jet using the knob on the cockpit as it needs to be rotated. Idk if i'm doing it all wrong but it's been very confusing as a newbie.
I’m not sure if this is assigned, try the trim wheel?
Setting Flaps as per your instructions, however when I go to test them the flaps are set at Flaps 1 and no matter which way I push or pull the Flaps Lever it goes back to Flaps 1, even when in flight I cannot retract the flaps, any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong please.
Hi Mark, check you have all pilot assist options turned off in the assistance options menu.
My throttles only start the power from the middle of the lever and up. How do you get power from the indent to the full throttle position like yours?
Check you are using the correct axis assignment…there are two, they act differently.
@@SimHangerFS May I ask what the right one is?
I have the same problem with engine 3 and 4. I have them both assigned to Joystick L-axis 6 but they act weird. No problem with engine 1 and 2 which are assigned to Joystick L-axis 5. All help is very much appreciated.
Hi all, Im a green beginner, I know nothing about flying or Microsoft flight sim. I just purchased an XBox X and the Turtle Beach Velocity One. I don't know where to begin. Can someone please advise how to get the most out of the system? Thank you so much.
How do you get the external view to zoom in and out with a percentage axis type control? Many thanks Mark 😊 🙏
Not sure I understand your query….there are zoom functions within the cockpit camera settings.
@@SimHangerFS
I'm trying to get the zoom to work on a plus and minus range with a button, ie the more you press and hold the further/closer the zoom goes.
These tutorials were amazing, thank you. How do we get the green lights behind the yoke to work? They dont seem to flash or do anything when used with the xbox?
Not yet functioning with Xbox. Expect this to be enabled after the next sim update 👍
Excellent videos thanks for sharing. Can I just ask the various additional profiles you set up here for the different types of aircraft, do these named profiles show up or need to be selected on the little screen on the yoke? I think mine just says default, single engine and twin engine so only shows 3 options even though I created more profiles in the sim.
@@mikeallen789 if you saved them they should be there? Try restart?
Thank’s 👍
Thanks Mark for your tutorial 1/2. Still have a problem whit my yoke wich is still very ... well, not smoth in up and down specially in taxi and take off. Is it possible put some vaseline or any kind of oil (wd 40 as ex.) ? Y have almost 100 hours .... Thanks a have a great and safe 2022. From Portugal (jose)
hi thanks for the video, it helped a lot, as for tobii i cannot get it to zoom in no matte what settings i used.
How did you get the throttles to work I put in that exact input and it kept going up and down and not moving at all
To whoever this helps, for reverse thruster, they did make the detent a mapable button. But still, none of the hold/toggle reverse options actually put it in reverse. So I mapped that new button to "decrease throttle," and now when I'm at 0 throttle and lower it into the detent, it will go max reverse. So, there is no way to use the 0 to -15% throttle it goes from 0 to max -15% throttle.
Another awesome video. When you were saying (in the 747 setup) to put the engines in Rev, to use the throttle cut button on the yoke hat switch. Is that the up button? And to take it out of reverse you hit the down button. Thanks
Thanks Mark for another great tutorial. Did you say in part one there will be a PC version of this tutorial?, is that still happening?. Cheers.
Hi, yes there is one for the PC coming up next week. 👍
Hi Mark thanks for the clips really useful. I have a question as I am new to flight sim and gaming I note Turtle beach recommend to keep all configurations on default to complete some of the flight training. If I configure as your part one and 2 will I still be able to use the flight training menu thanks.
The training reads only the default bindings.
I have an Xbox one, the controller worked out of the box in the main xbox menu etc. But not within msfs itself. I updated the firmware, restarted the Xbox, unplugged the controller etc. However, the control still doesn't work at in msfs, or show up as a controller option, any ideas?
For the single prop advanced does anyone know why the propellers won’t spin? I configured everything like the video said for it. Plz help asap
Thank you Mark for your awesome tutorials! Any chance you could review and make a tutorial for the "Thrustmaster - TCA Yoke Pack Boeing"?
Hi, I would love to, but I dont have that product at the moment.
thanks for the vid it help
Thanks for the setup tutorial as it has really helped me get up and flying with the TBV1F! When trying to fly the TBM 930, I cannot get the throttle over to the “idle/feather” position using the propeller. I have my setup exactly as yours is set for Turbo Props, but no matter what I do, I can’t get the throttle back over, it simply moves downward on the left side. Any ideas??? Thanks!
I may have figured it out. Testing further tomorrow!
I dont know how to set flaps on axis 4 you dont let see it in this video pls help me
Any advice on how to configure the altitude button for the A320? It seems to go to 99,000 feet and you cannot decrease it,Can anyone help?
I have tried to configure A310 on my Velocity One but could not get Lights configured on same pattern as A320-Wonder if missing something
First and foremost, thanks for all three videos. The profiles you have created are a great start to get one in the air fast. The problem I am having is with the twin turboprop profile, propeller pitch isn't working properly. It does work properly in other profiles. The axis shows a full range of motion in the controller programmer but in the sim the controller is restricted to the lowest 25% of the range. I can move the pitch full range with the mouse but as soon as I touch the propeller control it jumps back down to the bottom of its range. Thoughts?
R prop, mix,& throttle levers programmable?
Mark - Thank you for your tutorials. I am a beginner and would have been completely lost without your lessons. I have a question and am hoping you or someone here can answer. I followed your part 1 and part 2 exactly. But when I set up my flaps axis using the right most level, it works fine in the control options. When I move the lever to the top the bar indicator moves to the right and if I leave the lever at the top, the bar indicator stays to the right. Same happens when I move the lever down. The problem is when I am back in the cockpit and I move the flaps lever, it kind of flickers but no matter where I leave the lever the indicator inside the cockpit snaps back to the center. In your video it nicely stays on the top. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. Many thanks again for your videos and Happy Holidays
Hi I’m using Joystick L-Axis 6, not 6- or 6+, reverse axis is ticked/on ☑️
Flap Axis, not the %
Thx Seth. This issue got fixed on its own. I deleted the profile and went through simhanger set up again.
Hi Mark thanks for part 1 and 2 I have spent a few hours on this now. When I create a new profile and configure the velocity 1 apply and saving after every configuration. The problem is it does not save the selections that I have made and does not even save the title of the profile. On my last attempt which is the 5th it seems to have saved the selected buttons under the default title and not the single engine basic which I named it. I worry about creating another profile and using the duplicate key and making the changes and re naming. I tried it last time and it did not duplicate from the basic settings what am I doing wrong I have followed your TH-cam clips 100% sorry and thanks for the advice.
Sounds as if something is corrupted. Try restart console. Check for updates.
Merci beaucoup 👌👍
Having a difficult time trying to get flaps to work the way you’re showing. When using your set up if my flaps extend at all will be by 10%, when way hung flap lever it comes down then immediately back up (747 set up). Firmware 1.4.0 Xbox series x
Check your using the correct flap axis, there is more than one, also ensure pilot assist functions are all off.
With the flap axis when u said if I move it up and down this will show on the screen, for me it just stays at the same position
It should move. Check externally if the flaps are moving. If not then the config is wrong (make sure all pilot assist features are off) or the aircraft you’ve loaded is not using the default config. Check with default aircraft.
Hey thanks so much for the fast response I just had to exit the menu then enter in again thanks so much I’m loving the controler
My issue is that when I scan for the lever for the spoiler or flaps it picks it up on scanning but when I validate it it doesn't show in the box and hence won't work. I've been at it trying to fix it for an hour or so and nothing worked. I did a firmware update to see if that was the issue and still nothing..
@@tallspiffyfish rather than scan, select the axis/button manually from the drop down list. Try that.
@@SimHangerFS I'll give that one a go.
Hi Mark, this has been an amazing help - thank you! I seem to be having a problem with the flaps using the fourth quad arm. When I move it up and down, the flap lever in the cockpit is moving slightly but goes back to the original position. Did I do something obvious wrong?
Check calibration in windows if you can.
You might have had the same problem as me Andrew. I went through Mark's tutorial and the flaps didn't work on any of the aircraft. I thought that it might be due to an overarching setting in MSFS (as I am new to simming and had everything set to "EASY"), so I went into Assistance Options/Piloting and turned off Assisted Takeoff. Hey presto - the flaps then worked everywhere!
@@flybeeson7950 great solution….thank you
Switch to Joystick L-Axis 6 (or another number). Not 6- or 6+.
@@flybeeson7950 Hi Alan, I'm using FS2020 on XBox X series, and was having exactly the same problem as you and Andrew with the Flaps returning to the middle and not having full function, etc...... Thanks to your very helpful comment ref turning the assisted take -off to "Off" has worked perfectly, so a huge thanks to you mate !!. All the very best John Urwin.
Great video!! Both part 1 and 2 were a great help! What button do you use to toggle the engine on and off?
Did you end up figuring this out? Also looking for an awsner
My throttle 0-100 is registering as the same as my aileron and my prop 0-100 registers the same as my elevator. 😔
I am brand new to this flight sim. I have the Xbox x can the turtle beach controller be set up to the Xbox with just the Xbox controller or do I need a keyboard ?
Up to you works with all three. Keyboard is recommended.
Flaps won’t work on my 747 even though I have the far right lever mapped to flap axis.
Works for me, check you have the correct flap axis mapped, there is more than one.
@@SimHangerFS I will do that as soon as I get home thanks for making such a great tutorial videos.
Brilliant tutorials, I’m a newbie and they have helped a lot.
Question: Will you need a Windows PC to do controller firmware updates, or can it be done via the XBOX? I’ve only seen peeps mention downloading the Turtle Beach control Center on Windows 10. ? As a Mac user only, I’m not sure if I’ll ever be able to update the controller and may need to return it whilst I can (Xmas present)😥
Firmware update via Xbox is available. No problem
So do you use the Xbox controller to navigate the menus normally and then just use this once flying?
@@michaelbutler7016 yes, or use a mouse to navigate menus
Great thank you. Just got this for my dad, he used to fly as a hobby so this is such a great tutorial to set it up for him.
Wish it had cabin heat key bind
Hello and thanks so much for the detailed setup... Very helpful. I have one question/problem perhaps you've encountered. It seems no matter what throttle quadrant lever I assign ”flaps" to (using flap axis) the function is all over the place... Glitching out of you would. I thought it was a hardware defect on the velocity one however when I swapped with other items on the same level (say spoilers axis) the control was smooth and 1to1 matching in the sim... Very much unlike what the flaps were doing. Is there something I'm doing wrong or perhaps have conflicting settings? I watched part 1 & 2 if your videos very carefully b and think I did everything right??? Any suggestions would we very much appreciated. Thanks again for such great content.
Hi, in the assistance main menu, check you have pilot assist functions all switched to off.
Thank you

Hello.
I have followed the recipe for setting it up
Velocityone, and it seems fine, EXCEPT the elevator axis
It doesn't work properly at all
What can I do??? Karl.
Make sure all pilot assists are off in the assistance options.
I want to delete all the velocityone flight controls and start new. I can’t seam to get the garbage can to come up so I can. HELP!,,,
Under preset manager you can delete all user profiles. The default profiles that come with the unit cannot be deleted.
Mark, Excuse me again, I know I'm boring, but I need another help, when I use the autopilot but even if without this, the joke sometimes makes a quick movement always to the right, I think it's an input problem maybe something conflicts but I can't find the problem, has it happened to any of you? I would like to put a video to make it clearer but I am not authorized. I hope I made myself understood
Check under your assistance menu….sounds like you have pilot assist turned on. Turn it off
joystick button 27 on throttle cut is not doing nothing. Nothing happen.
i have a problem with your config. The game will not allow throttle one to work as normal. What i mean is the throttle will working in reverse, that means to get power i have to pull the black throttle back. If i set it to normal i.e. get rid of reverse axis, the throttle only goes in half way, it does not complete the full range of movement. when i have the throttle in reverse it does complete full movement. Also sometimes the game will pop the throttle forward or backwards, meaning it will jump half its movement.
Disable pilot assists in sim.
@@SimHangerFS hi thanks for the reply it does not work i have all assists off. Also the trim wheel causes massive spikes, it is unusable. I got it to work it was a firmware problem. How do you map the jet to the pc velocity throttle etc, it has different names for axis , so i cannot use your video on for it. Thanks
i did manage to get the jet engines to work,, well in in a fashion i did. The black throttle for the small planes only works in reserve, meaning to get power, i have to pull it out. Tick the reserve box deadens it. I am at a loss what to do. i have no assists on and the throttle is now bound any where else.
@@Mulberry2000 Sounds like a hardware fault?
Can velocity one controller be set up to Xbox x with the Xbox hand controller or do I need keyboard. Confused, can anyone help ?
Yes it can, but using a keyboard is. Much easier and quicker
Great. After following the instructions carefully for over an hour, MSFS decides to glitch out and delete the entire settings
