Thanks so much for this video! It makes it so much easier to adjust these rotary switches using my VelocityOne than using my mouse to move the knobs up and down.
Good tutorial. I already set up my Vel1 for this, with some different mappings and including FLC. Here is my mapping: A: FLC mode, B: VS mode, X: HDG mode, Y: ALT mode. Hat1 UD (Up/Down): Alt; Hat1LR: Hdg bug, Hat2UD: FLC and VS. FLC and VS don’t interfere as you can use only one of these modes at the same time. By Clicking either A or B you choose which one. AP master and NAV mode are set to 2 buttons on the throttle quadrant. This way I make use of the XBox ABXY buttons, which I think is more logical. X for horizontal moves (Hdg bug), Y for vertical moves (Alt). A and B remain, not much logic in that. I have my Hat2LR set to rudder trim, with the small button on the right for rudder trim reset. This way I don’t need to use too many buttons on the throttle quad. If you like you might even use none of them for AP functions, for instance making a combo of LB+A,B,X,Y. LB and RB are mapped to brakes, so these don’t interfere when in the air. Hope this helps some of you setting it up even better.
I received my Turtle beach velocity one, was lucky received it in 5 days. It works great for flying on the Xbox series s. Thank you so much for your videos if it wasn’t for streamers like your self setting up the velocity would be difficult for some flight simmers. Happy flying.🛩
Nice vid! Would be interesting to know, if it would work to set decrease/increase VS and Altitude on the trim wheel... and switch them up via selecting buttons.
@Huddison, thanks for another excellent tutorial! Saves the bother of having to reach out frequently for the mouse, for interacting with the rotary knobs on the display! Please update the Logitech Yoke & Throttle recommended key mapping tut that you'd made earlier, to include these rotary settings controls too. I foresee a problem in that, since the Logitech Yoke & Throttle don't have any"spare" / unmapped keys!
There is one setting I really need that does not map as far as I know. That is GPS map zoom, which I use often. In flight I want to have an overview of the GPS Map, but at approach I want it zoomed. But FS2020 (to my knowledge at least) has no function to select the range knob. Or did I just miss that?
@@Huddison Don’t waste your time, James. I have checked several websites that have listings of keyboard mappings on FS2020 functions and none of them mention either selecting the range knob or map zoom or whatever. There is a change request in the FS2020 queue asking for this (and many more Garmin features) to assign a keyboard shortcut to it, mainly from pc users with a extensive home cockpit. But the status of this request seems unclear.
Another very informative video! Keep them coming 👍 By the way, I saw you sitting on runway 27 at eglc this morning, possibly while filming this. I flew touch and goes touching the runway where you were parked then bouncing back into the air to do it again 😂 I shot you a friend’s request on Xbox, feel free to ignore it, I’m used to it LOL. I actually enjoy using my mouse to use buttons and switches in the cockpit, imo it adds to the realism, as you have to click/push them irl. I do have buttons set on my hotas one to do most of the major functions for when there is a lot going on, but I try to click the cockpit ones when able. I’m most likely going to sell my Xbox one X, don’t need it as I have a series X, and try to sell my hotas one in order to buy the turtle beach velocityOne, or maybe trade them both in for store credit at GameStop to use on the VelocityOne.
@@Huddison I have the heading bug bound to my hotas and use the rocker on the hotas throttle to move it when I’m too busy to look down and click the cockpit one.
I have followed the video and mapped said buttons to my numeric pad on keyboard and works perfectly. What I would like to know is if you fly a plane without GPS ect how do you lock in a course and follow said course. In a modern plane used in video it follows the flight plan but if you have no gps how would you do this?
Forgive the newbie question but I see you only had a button set for VS on. When set and you're flying on autopilot, would you normally keep that or just switch to assigned altitude setting?
Great videos thanks. I took your advice and mapped the increase autopilot reference altitude (to the b11 button on my velocity one (decrease to b12) not the hat switch). The reason i chose b11 is I want all the autopilot controls on the b3 to b12 panel. Problem is the altitude increases in increments of 2200ft not 100 ft like the way you have got yours set. Any tips how to fix that?
@@Huddison Nevermind. I was wrong. Only my sensitivity settings aren’t saving. I’m so happy. Spent all day thinking and programming settings. Very time consuming with all the trial and error.
Thanks for the video. I’m using your settings and love em however when I hit approach mode it changes the cdi to green. I assigned a button to toggle autopilot approach mode but it changes to green whether I use the button I bound or the button on the dashboard. Using Xbox. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Richard
@@krismordente5472 It's a whole different ball game when flying airliners. I don't fly the A320 (at least not currently), you're best searching for tutorial videos for it.
I cant get this to work with the Fenix a320. Am I missing something, or does it not work with the fenix? I even tried binding a rolling wheel, similar to what is used in other aircraft alt adjustments
You are the MAN. Thanks so much for the help. You have made the simulator so much fun.
Glad to help.

I make these videos for folks like yourself Joseph - congrats on obtaining a Velocity One ;)
Your videos are awesome!!!!!!!!!!! I love your intros my dear youtuber friends and I hope you all keeping well. See you in the xbox air one day.
That's the feedback I'm looking for - thanks my friend! 😎
First Class - Thank You! Rotary switch assignment a game changer!
It's great isn't it ;)

Hey fascinating idea - one I will look into when I'm reunited with my Yoke system ;)
@@Huddison I like the sound of this as well, did anyone have a chance to try this?
Thank you for all your get videos. I like the way you setup everything. Just wondering did you assign a button to approach.
Thanks Gary. I don't have a button set up for approach, but not a bad idea.

With no GPS, I would just put it in heading mode and use that.
Nice. I'm going to rework my V1 button setting first thing in the morning
It really helps to ease the load.
Forgive the newbie question but I see you only had a button set for VS on. When set and you're flying on autopilot, would you normally keep that or just switch to assigned altitude setting?
With VS, once it reaches the assigned altitude, it turns itself off - Does that answer your query?
@@Huddison top man. It certainly does thank you!
Would love the same on the Hotas one!
On my 'to do list' ;)
Yes,please
I think atc would be great also, there for not needing the mouse
Yes, plenty of buttons left to bind on the Velocity One.
Great videos thanks. I took your advice and mapped the increase autopilot reference altitude (to the b11 button on my velocity one (decrease to b12) not the hat switch).

Ensure that you are setting the correct binding for it, there are a couple that look the same.
I have the correct binding. Thanks anyway mate. Not sure what’s going on there.
Awesome as usual……thanks much. I am using an X56 H.O.T.A.S …..using you suggestions, ,works great.
Good to hear thanks for the feedback.
My button setting never save. How do I fix this? Do yours save even after a game crash which happens daily?
Is that with the Series X or S? Do none of your button assignments save & are you 'applying' the changes when you make them
@@Huddison Nevermind. I was wrong. Only my sensitivity settings aren’t saving. I’m so happy. Spent all day thinking and programming settings. Very time consuming with all the trial and error.
@@stin987 Good to hear.

Hi Richard, does it change the CDI to LOC1 or other? I feel you may be better helped in our discord with this: discord.gg/5dsv4d2tEQ
@@Huddison yes loc1.
Hi there. When flying the A320, when you change the ALT using the HAT keys, the plane does not increase altitude? Any advice?
In airliners you generally have to activate alt mode. There's a fair few good tutorials on the A320 on TH-cam.
@@Huddison ALT mode? Is this a similar instruction for the AP like the NAV1 hold that you explain in your video?
@@krismordente5472 It's a whole different ball game when flying airliners.
I don't fly the A320 (at least not currently), you're best searching for tutorial videos for it.
I hope to set my volcity one to do away needing a mouse at all.
It is possible to an extent, although if you want to set procedures up on the right G1000, you'll still need a mouse.
Don’t know if it was possible a year ago, but now is through ‘cursor mode’ by clicking the ‘back’ button.
I cant get this to work with the Fenix a320. Am I missing something, or does it not work with the fenix? I even tried binding a rolling wheel, similar to what is used in other aircraft alt adjustments
I don't own the Fenix - but I know that a couple of our Discord members do and may be more helpful in this matter.
Thank you
You're welcome
