I dont ever comment, but your setup instructions are unreal in their clarity, and simplicity. You, good sir, deserve your own ASMR and education channel. Cheers!
Well Mark I have to say you've convinced me to buy a set for myself just based upon that intro! But seriously, a really great and comprehensive review. I've been looking at the Thrustmaster TPR pedals but to be honest, the price is a little salty for me, not to mention I love the different pedal options available on the Turtle Beach and since these are also hall effect sensors, should do the job nicely. Thanks again!
I’ve watched a number of your videos recently and I’m thankful for your wonderfully thorough videos. This helped me with my decision to purchase the Turtle Beach VelocityOne set of Rudder Pedals and Control Center. All of this experience is new for me and I’m hoping my wife and I will enjoy using this together as we learn about MS Flight Simulator. I would love to see a video for Xbox users explaining how many flight related accessories could be connected to the Series X. I’ve seen other accessories that I’d like to incorporate but I don’t know what is Xbox compatible and if there’s a limit to how many peripherals Series X will support.
Thank you! As I’m new to flight sims I was confused about the foot positioning with the GA pedals and wanted to say thanks for pointing that out in that brief aside!
Watched your review and ordered a set of these pedals. I am new to sim flying and had just purchased all my gear, was not happy with my Logitech pedals, could not get comfortable with them, heel on floor control was very difficult. My pedals arrived today and what a difference, make the Logi set look and feel like toys, these pedals are worth every penny. With the GAA pedals installed and the front of the pedal lifted up they control perfectly with heels on floor, braking is so easy and comfortable, no stretching my legs way out to try and push the pedals down. Glad I saw your review while my return window was still open for the other pedals, back they go!
Very easy to increase brake resistance in GA mode by lifting the spring behind the pedal with a small screwdriver and screwing an M6*20 bolt into the slot to hold the spring up. Makes it about the same as in Airline mode.
Well - I'm going to have to take back what I said earlier about TB. My rudders were delivered just 2 days after I ordered them. I am on Xbox Series X and the set up was a 'piece of cake' using your video as a guide. To my immense relief the 12 V1F profiles I have set up were not overwritten, either by SU11 or during the TB Rudders installation. (I imagine that your problems Mark were something to do with your involvement with SU11 beta, as you suspected). All I had to do was set up the two toe brakes (left & right) on each existing profile as the rudder axis was already set up by default (as you mentioned). I couldn't be more pleased with my rudders. There is a lot more fine control compared to using the triggers and bumpers on the yoke, but I do need more practice to get the hang of turning and braking at the same time! I need to find a good use for the triggers and bumpers now.
I had the whole thing setup and working fine. Closed MSFS, shutdown my Xbox, and then when I fired it back up the next day, the pedal Brakes were no longer responsive (even though they were still properly mapped under Control Options). After doing some digging, I found a temporary fix that another user posted. This seems to do the trick for anyone else having this problem. 1. After starting the xbox normally and before clicking on the MSFS icon, go into the menu on your Velocity One yoke unit and deactivate the rudder under “accessories” (lights go off and on) 2. Then start MSFS normally 3. During the last booting sequence of the game, when you actual see the last game content liverages etc. and the blue loading bar is around 50% done, activate the rudder pedals again (accessories menu on the yoke again). Once you open up the game, brakes should be working just fine.
I'm so glad you showed the width expandability, Mark. I was viewing it with some concern about it being a nut-cracker in the early part of the vid. - Great vid as always, and much appreciated. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🍻
Have just purchased the Velocity One Yoke and Throttle Quadrant and have researched rudder pedals. Have watched a number of reviews but I find your reviews to most objective. So.... I will be placing the Velocity One Rudder Pedals on my wish list. Thank you.
Thanks Mark, I was holding out for the Honeycomb, (delays..uggh) but will probably go with these instead. Thanks for your videos, I really appreciate them.
Thanks for producing this. Just taken receipt of these pedals and wondered about the brake settings. I really do love the yolk and pedals but TB need to sort out the firmware issue as I had to use my PC to sort it out with a powershelgl script.
Great review. I just got mine November 2023. I don’t find the stickiness in the yoke on the pitch axis. It’s possible that they have addressed that. I do find that the upper throttle‘s are very loose still. I am doing the modification, that is shown by a online post to stiffen them up.
Excellent video Mark - the best I've seen on the V1F Rudder Pedals. So much useful information there and very clear presentation. So after SU11 I'm going to have to input my 12 V1F profiles all over again! Then more changes to each profile if I buy the pedals later? You are quite right to criticise TB over this, it is not acceptable. They seem to make great products but then let themselves down with the software.
Charlie now delayed to 1st quarter 2023…might be later from what I hear on the grapevine. Honeycomb failed to secure the component stocks apparently. I opted for the Turtle Beach as after two years since the Charlie announcement I can’t wait any longer.

Hi, Mark, and once again, a top review. I have just received my VelocityOne rudder pedals, adding now to my Alpha and Bravo setup. When this informative video review was released about 12 months ago, I noted at the time your views were that there were some possible issues with the installation process, as well as possible conflict in the mapping. Are you able to advise if these possible issues have been resolved as yet? Many thanks
about hardware experience, in my case i use the rudder direct to pc, and system found it, and works from the box. i update firmware. and i see double turtle in my devices and in msfs, both show same settings. no problem but looks strange.
Great review, one thing I found out unfortunately is the cable ( pc ) sticks out , so you have to make sure you do not bump the pedals and connection. I am hoping you can replace with cables, from third parties, in that I can't seem to get through to support to get the pc cable replaced.....if you have any knowledge if after market cables can be used. Many thanks
Excellent video, thanks for posting! 🙂 I have currently Thrustmaster rudder pedals which I am not satisfied with because it does not allow little/precise movements. Stucks a bit and afterwards moves more than I would like to be moved. What is your experience concernig this problem in the case of the Turtle Beach and the Saitek rudder pedals?
GREAT job, Mark! I've REALLY appreciated your clear, concise and often humorous insights across many different videos (MSFS, Velocity One, etc.) whilst preparing to get set up with a Velocity One system (rudder pedals almost here) on my Xbox series X. That said...and please forgive my "noobishness"...at 16:33, you advise, "Update the unit on a PC if possible". I'm not quite sure what that means. Is that going through the Xbox app or the Xbox Console Companion on my PC? This is all a bit new to me, so please pardon the confusion... If I follow you correctly, you're saying to NOT do the updates via the console itself, even if I've already downloaded the Control Center to my console. So I'm a bit mystified on how to get it from my PC to my console. Cheers from Bend, Oregon USA
Hi Neil, the update is to the firmware that is held and stored in the VelocityOne Flight peripheral. The firmware is for both PC and Xbox. If you update via PC you don’t need to update via Xbox as the ‘’in-built’’ software is now already up to date. Hope that makes sense 😀
Ahhhhh...I think I get it! So even though I'm not using any of the peripherals on my PC, if I download them to my PC, they'll automatically get picked up by my console? Is that because both are on the same network? I have Control Center downloaded and installed on both so hopefully that is how things get integrated...
@@neilmackey9626 firmware is an ‘’operating program’’ held on a peripheral (it has a writable eprom to hold data) so it functions regardless what it is plugged into. Update via pc and it is stored on the device. Plug into Xbox and Xbox recognises it as updated.
@@SimHangerFS Ah, I think I've got it now! 😉I wasn't aware the peripherals had any sort of eprom in which to store data. So, if I follow you correctly, for the major "new, right of the box" update, the process should be thus? 1. Download the TB Control Center to PC (and console, for later use). Plug yoke and throttle quadrant together and plug into PC; 2. Perform the initial download. When done, attach the rudder unit to the first two with the supplied patch cable; 3. Do the rudder update; when done, unplug peripherals from the PC and plug back into the console. Once attached to the console, I'm assuming it will notify you if there are any missing updates (or prompt for future ones)? And, for any subsequent updates TB does down the road, same process or do you think they'll download through the console OK? It sounds like the initial update and the rudder update were the big issues, thus your recommendation to do them through a PC... Cheers!
Good day, Mark... Have you been having any issues with the rudder integration with the Yoke/TQ on Xbox? I recently started having control issues with the rudder inputs. Toe brakes were set/saved for L-Axis 13 and 14 and L-Axis 2 for the rudder axis. Things worked OK for a time but now, I'm finding that when I've logged out of MSFS (the "long" way, highlighting the MSFS program, hitting the "hamburger" button and then chosing "quit", as opposed to simply powering the Xbox down with MSFS running) and turning the console off, on the next bootup, those inputs have been forgotten. I see there are a number of other users having the same issue. I've been in contact with TB and have been working with them, sending them a number of detailed "quasi" crash reports. Part of their (possible) solution was uninstalling MSFS and then reinstalling it. I tried that, lost all of my sensitivity settings (but no my custom profiles, lucklily) and the issue still remains. The issue, IMHO (NOT a software engineer by any means!) is that even if you've updated the rudders from V1.0.0 to V1.0.1 and saved that update, after logging off and then back on, things revert back to V1.0.0. TB IS aware of the issue as they put this out; I've tried that several times and problem still exists. And, their solution is a PITB, involving switching cables, doing uploads/downloads, etc. support.turtlebeach.com/s/article/VelocityOne-Rudder-Issues-With-Rudders?language=en_US I've posted to some of the various Discords, etc. I did find a bit of a easier workaround from another user on the MS Flight Simulator forum that seems to consistently work and can forward that to you if you'd like. In the meantime, I've temporarily ditched the rudders and put the rudder/brakes inputs back on the yoke...nice, expensive footrest at the moment...😞
I am not sure. But I have had a few config ‘’losses’’ over time. I suspect it is a MSFS issue, especially after an update of TB firmware, MSFS seems to think it is new hardware! Please send the link I would be interested in other opinions etc.
Question: Just purchased this Turtle Beach Velocity One Controller. It’s been out of stock for some time now. I should be receiving it this Monday. Do you think I will have to do a firmware update? Thank you.
As a real pilot, I find that the lack of proper resistance on the toe breaks is an immersion killer. This is true with all other rudder pedals I’ve tried.
@@aquamich129 I haven't found any that I am satisfied with yet. I have thought about trying to make my own or modify mine to add some stiffness to the toe brakes.
Thanks Mark, just got my pedals for my V1, do you have any sensitivity settings for the rudder axis and brakes, I find it fine to line up for landing, but I’m having issues with the rollout after landing, I’m all over the place. 🤪
This is odd. I reversed the plug on the throttle and on the yoke with the cord that came with the rudder pedals and everything worked and I was able to update the firmware.
Is there a firmware update for the rudder pedals, or just the yoke? I just got the V1 pedals and they keep disconnecting. My old CH pedals were obviously entry level, but at least they were stable. Everyone says how much better the V1s are, but so far I'm not impressed! Any suggestions on the connectivity?
Just watched the velocity 1 Rudder pedal video. Do they fit on a dof platform? Looks like the pedals stand up very high compared to the Logitech that I have now. Thank you
Pretty good review, going over many info points. Is there a way to combine the toe brakes into one differential axis? I know TM pedals can do this via TARGET, and MFG have an option in their software tool.
Hello Mark. I have just got into flight sim on xbox and have just purchased the logitech pedals.I have plugged them in out of the box and the rudder controls works BUT the toe brakes don't and I can't search for them as an input as MSFS doesn't seem to recognise them. Could you help me with the process please. Thank you
@@SimHangerFS Thanks Mark. They do not register any movement. I have raised it with asobo and Honeycomb. I bought them on the strength of your video stating they were xbox compatible. It might worth be putting a foot note in to say they aren't fully compatible at this moment. Really appreciate your help sir and than k you for the vids you make
Hello Mark. Well miracles do happen. SO i just jumped onto MSFS and the toe pedals worked!! Just so you know they are joystick L axis 10&11. so ,stand down sir......logitech pedals are indeed compatible via xbox hub. Thank you for listening
Thank you for presenting a very good review I stay away from this until they work out software update issues with Xbox. Hopefully you’ll release a new updated review when that happens so those of us who do not wish to be continually frustrated with faulty software know when it’s time to purchase the product. If it turns out that’s just the nature of the beast, but I will not purchase the beast are you listening in Microsoft and turtle beach?
Mark....my Velocity rudder pedals work GREAT in MSFS, but I can't assign the axis in DCS. Any idea how to fix this? DCS sees the toe brakes, but not the rudder axis.
Nice review. I'm getting into helicopter flying in MSFS with PC. But I find my current rudder pedals (Thrustmaster T.Flight Rudder -pedals) inaccurate. These Velocityone pedals might be a good choice for helicopter flying and also in general - next level. I haven't found information if these pedals work also with racing games (e.g. Automobilista 2). Do you happen to know that? Thanks.
Thank you for the review. Do you know if v1.5.0 of the Velocity One firmware will wipe out saved custom configuration profiles if I now add the rudder pedals (Xbox)?
Hi,wonder if you can help me please, I’m running MFS on XBOX X ,I have Turtle beach yoke ,throttle and rudders ,do you know a way of deleting all the setting I’ve set up on the controls , restoring MFS back to default settings, I’ve uninstalled the game and reloaded, but the setting have come back on again, any help would be very much appreciated
Hi Mark, I want to buy honeycomb alpha XPC, Bravo TQ and hub for xbox, charlie rudder pedals are not available, Since TFRP and Velocity one rudder pedals does not work separately, what do you suggest? I wish honeycomb alpha had LT RT like turtle beech yoke! Is ther a way to use honecomb alpha without rudder pedals!? Maybe xbox controller at one hand and yoke at the other hand while landing!?😄 What would you choose between turtle beech velocity one and honeycomb alpha- bravo?I mean without considering price. I had turtlebeech velocity one for a week, I noticed a 10 -15% deadzone from pitch down to neutral position. So I returned it.
Have not been able to get the velocity, one rudder pedals to work with X plane 11. I get an error message that the road pedals have been detected, but are not assigned to any access or button. I can’t figure out how to do this. They calibrate OK, but after calibration fail to actually control the aircraft rudder. This is a huge disappointment, because otherwise, the rudder pedals have all the benefits described in your video, which is excellent by the way. As far as X-Plane is concerned, for me they are at this point 5 hours of frustration away from plug-and-play. They seem to work fine in Microsoft FS.
Since the making of this video, have there been any firmware updates for Xbox users that make the firmware update for a new set of the pedals smoother? Or should I still resort to updating my pedals I'm receiving today on my PC? Thanks for the great video Mark!
@@SimHangerFS I went ahead and hooked it up straight to the Xbox last night and it updated with flying colors 👍👍 Thanks for the quality, detailed video to help me make my decision to order these! Now to learn how to fly again 😉
I have the Thrustmaster Pedal right now and I'm one the fence whether I should get the V1 Pedals. Any one here with experiences on both please chime in.
i can not judge this stuff, because i didn't use pedals before, and 30 years used twist before this pedals. second day of lelearning and i feel much less stress than yesterday:) looks like couple a weeks adaptation, but i will miss the twist all my life i guess. it will not give you same precision and if you don't need that benefit you don't need pedals. but twist if it works good enough, like mine in x65f, much much much more intuitive and convenient, than any pedals. but any way this thing is good:)
I was going to buy this rudder pedal as I could no longer wait for the Honeycomb Charlie, when while searching online people suggested MFG Crosswind V3 explaining that its one of the best, have you heard of it?
This tutorial is extremely helpful!! Thank you! Unrelated question, but what model of Cessna 172 are you using? The only ones I find don't have the "6 pack" instruments! I'm in training and want to be as close as I can to what I'm using.. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Hi Mark. Just got the velocity one yoke and rudders. The yoke updated easily but I just can't get the rudder firmware to update, I've tried through the xbox and a laptop but to no avail, any help would be appreciated as not having much luck with turtle beach
Hello Mark, it would be possible to make a video about how to setup the honeycomb throttle quadrant for the new a310 from inibuilds, i can't get the reverses right 😭😭
I'm looking to purchase a set of these Velocity rudder pedals and I have read on a Forum that for the PC, these rudder pedals do not work when combined with the Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo on MS2020.. I've tried to research any additional information unsuccessfully. Can anyone verify they do in fact work ? Thx.
Hi mark I’m looking for some help. I’m on Xbox x and have followed everything you have done but when I go to sensitivity the tow brakes aren’t there. I did dry powering down and rebooting and they appeared and worked fine but not 2x days later when I go back I can’t get them to work..??
Make sure they are configured to an axis. Test with different aircraft. Delete the brake configuration, restart and reconfigure. This may sort it out. Once done & no improvement you may have a faulty unit.
Hello, José from Portugal. Just received my rudder pedals. I have made the update firmware but have un issue! Every time I shut down the MSFS and start it my brakes does not work and have to start the configurations again wich is,s not easy because in the settings they exist but not working until ok, but .... again. Is that a bug? Does it happens to you, too? Very strange because yestarday they works fine, only since today got the problem. Well, if you have any sugestion I woul apreciate thanking you in advance. See you. Jose Andrade
I don’t have this problem, suggest you create another profile and save it and delete the one causing problems. Make sure your selected profile is the active one.
I have those Turtle Beach rudders also. I find them to be total garbage. Every time I turn off the sim, I need to manually remap them or the toe brakes are not automatically found. It's a known problem. How about you?
Hi Mark, I've recently purchased the rudder set up for my partner to connect with the velocity one yoke, I've followed the steps to set it up but it's not working, it won't let me switch on rudders through the yoke settings. Everything is connected and lit up properly but it's not recognising them at all, any help or advice you might have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I use the Xbox series X, but when I connect my rudder pedals to my velocityone yoke, they are not listed in the “controls options menu”. Everything is connected properly, and the rudder is on Xbox mode. What could I have done wrong?

If I follow you correctly, you're saying to NOT do the updates via the console itself, even if I've already downloaded the Control Center to my console. So I'm a bit mystified on how to get it from my PC to my console.
Cheers from Bend, Oregon USA
Hi Neil, the update is to the firmware that is held and stored in the VelocityOne Flight peripheral. The firmware is for both PC and Xbox. If you update via PC you don’t need to update via Xbox as the ‘’in-built’’ software is now already up to date. Hope that makes sense 😀
Ahhhhh...I think I get it! So even though I'm not using any of the peripherals on my PC, if I download them to my PC, they'll automatically get picked up by my console? Is that because both are on the same network?
I have Control Center downloaded and installed on both so hopefully that is how things get integrated...
@@neilmackey9626 firmware is an ‘’operating program’’ held on a peripheral (it has a writable eprom to hold data) so it functions regardless what it is plugged into. Update via pc and it is stored on the device. Plug into Xbox and Xbox recognises it as updated.
@@SimHangerFS
Ah, I think I've got it now! 😉I wasn't aware the peripherals had any sort of eprom in which to store data.
So, if I follow you correctly, for the major "new, right of the box" update, the process should be thus?
1. Download the TB Control Center to PC (and console, for later use). Plug yoke and throttle quadrant together and plug into PC;
2. Perform the initial download. When done, attach the rudder unit to the first two with the supplied patch cable;
3. Do the rudder update; when done, unplug peripherals from the PC and plug back into the console.
Once attached to the console, I'm assuming it will notify you if there are any missing updates (or prompt for future ones)? And, for any subsequent updates TB does down the road, same process or do you think they'll download through the console OK? It sounds like the initial update and the rudder update were the big issues, thus your recommendation to do them through a PC...
Cheers!
Good day, Mark...
Have you been having any issues with the rudder integration with the Yoke/TQ on Xbox?
I recently started having control issues with the rudder inputs. Toe brakes were set/saved for L-Axis 13 and 14 and L-Axis 2 for the rudder axis. Things worked OK for a time but now, I'm finding that when I've logged out of MSFS (the "long" way, highlighting the MSFS program, hitting the "hamburger" button and then chosing "quit", as opposed to simply powering the Xbox down with MSFS running) and turning the console off, on the next bootup, those inputs have been forgotten.
I see there are a number of other users having the same issue. I've been in contact with TB and have been working with them, sending them a number of detailed "quasi" crash reports. Part of their (possible) solution was uninstalling MSFS and then reinstalling it. I tried that, lost all of my sensitivity settings (but no my custom profiles, lucklily) and the issue still remains. The issue, IMHO (NOT a software engineer by any means!) is that even if you've updated the rudders from V1.0.0 to V1.0.1 and saved that update, after logging off and then back on, things revert back to V1.0.0.
TB IS aware of the issue as they put this out; I've tried that several times and problem still exists. And, their solution is a PITB, involving switching cables, doing uploads/downloads, etc.
support.turtlebeach.com/s/article/VelocityOne-Rudder-Issues-With-Rudders?language=en_US
I've posted to some of the various Discords, etc. I did find a bit of a easier workaround from another user on the MS Flight Simulator forum that seems to consistently work and can forward that to you if you'd like. In the meantime, I've temporarily ditched the rudders and put the rudder/brakes inputs back on the yoke...nice, expensive footrest at the moment...😞
I am not sure. But I have had a few config ‘’losses’’ over time. I suspect it is a MSFS issue, especially after an update of TB firmware, MSFS seems to think it is new hardware! Please send the link I would be interested in other opinions etc.
Question: Just purchased this Turtle Beach Velocity One Controller. It’s been out of stock for some time now. I should be receiving it this Monday. Do you think I will have to do a firmware update? Thank you.
As a real pilot, I find that the lack of proper resistance on the toe breaks is an immersion killer. This is true with all other rudder pedals I’ve tried.
I agree. I am also a RW pilot and have the LogiTech ones and the brake is soft, no resistance.
Hi, which one would you recommend please?
@@aquamich129 I haven't found any that I am satisfied with yet. I have thought about trying to make my own or modify mine to add some stiffness to the toe brakes.
@@pilotguy1597 What about TPR or charlie?
@@pilotguy1597 virpil ace?
Great review matey! Wonder how they'll fair against the Honeycomb Charlie Rudder Pedals?
Good question, we will have to wait until 2023 for the answer.
One rudder pedals you didn’t include that is compatible with the Xbox is the Thrustmaster TPR. I use them with my Thrustmaster Boeing yoke.
Yes, I do mention them, but excluded as they fall into a different price category.
@@SimHangerFS thanks - I must have missed that in the review.
Thanks Mark, just got my pedals for my V1, do you have any sensitivity settings for the rudder axis and brakes, I find it fine to line up for landing, but I’m having issues with the rollout after landing, I’m all over the place. 🤪
Brakes I leave as linear. Rudders sensitivity -30%
@@SimHangerFS Thanks Mark
This is odd. I reversed the plug on the throttle and on the yoke with the cord that came with the rudder pedals and everything worked and I was able to update the firmware.
Think I'd like to see the option of the Xbox lead setup on a pc if you have them setup on a stand better to have only 1 lead going to the pc
Agreed, tried it, didn’t work unfortunately.
Is there a firmware update for the rudder pedals, or just the yoke? I just got the V1 pedals and they keep disconnecting. My old CH pedals were obviously entry level, but at least they were stable. Everyone says how much better the V1s are, but so far I'm not impressed! Any suggestions on the connectivity?
Just watched the velocity 1 Rudder pedal video. Do they fit on a dof platform? Looks like the pedals stand up very high compared to the Logitech that I have now. Thank you
No they don’t. Too long.
Pretty good review, going over many info points. Is there a way to combine the toe brakes into one differential axis? I know TM pedals can do this via TARGET, and MFG have an option in their software tool.
I would assume just configure both to one axis/function in msfs
Tip: Put some adhesive skateboard griptape on the pedals to prevent slipping. cheap and very efficient
I use the 3M bathtub tape with my flight and driving sims. Its grippy, lasts forever and wont ruin socks.
Hello Mark. I have just got into flight sim on xbox and have just purchased the logitech pedals.I have plugged them in out of the box and the rudder controls works BUT the toe brakes don't and I can't search for them as an input as MSFS doesn't seem to recognise them. Could you help me with the process please. Thank you
Logitech only work when connected to the Honeycomb Alpha XPC Yoke via the hub. Do you have this?
@@SimHangerFS Hello Mark. Yes it is connected through the hub to an XPC yoke good sir.
@@RetroJulesWorldofTanksConsole check in sensitivity settings to see it they register movement. If not then suggest you query with Honeycomb.
@@SimHangerFS Thanks Mark. They do not register any movement. I have raised it with asobo and Honeycomb. I bought them on the strength of your video stating they were xbox compatible. It might worth be putting a foot note in to say they aren't fully compatible at this moment. Really appreciate your help sir and than k you for the vids you make
Hello Mark. Well miracles do happen. SO i just jumped onto MSFS and the toe pedals worked!! Just so you know they are joystick L axis 10&11. so ,stand down sir......logitech pedals are indeed compatible via xbox hub. Thank you for listening
Thank you for presenting a very good review I stay away from this until they work out software update issues with Xbox. Hopefully you’ll release a new updated review when that happens so those of us who do not wish to be continually frustrated with faulty software know when it’s time to purchase the product. If it turns out that’s just the nature of the beast, but I will not purchase the beast are you listening in Microsoft and turtle beach?
Mark....my Velocity rudder pedals work GREAT in MSFS, but I can't assign the axis in DCS. Any idea how to fix this? DCS sees the toe brakes, but not the rudder axis.
Nice review.
I'm getting into helicopter flying in MSFS with PC. But I find my current rudder pedals (Thrustmaster T.Flight Rudder -pedals) inaccurate. These Velocityone pedals might be a good choice for helicopter flying and also in general - next level.
I haven't found information if these pedals work also with racing games (e.g. Automobilista 2). Do you happen to know that?
Thanks.
Their config is the standard generic interface so should work with any program more of less. I have the TM set too....no comparison.
Thank you very much!
good job as always... thanks
Thank you for the review. Do you know if v1.5.0 of the Velocity One firmware will wipe out saved custom configuration profiles if I now add the rudder pedals (Xbox)?
@@MDowntown410 sorry, I don’t.
I already have pedals ..but I'm loving your style 😂👍😀
Thanks Mark 👍
Ps.. I can't think of anything worse than all my profiles resetting! 😮
Hi,wonder if you can help me please, I’m running MFS on XBOX X ,I have Turtle beach yoke ,throttle and rudders ,do you know a way of deleting all the setting I’ve set up on the controls , restoring MFS back to default settings, I’ve uninstalled the game and reloaded, but the setting have come back on again, any help would be very much appreciated
The configs are held in the cloud. In the controls menu you can delete profiles under the profile manager.
Thank you
Can you use the velocity one rudder pedals with the honeycomb alpha and bravo with xbox?
Not via the Honeycomb hub, but plugged in seperately ...yes
How hard is it to use the Thurstmaster T.F. rudder pedals with the Turtle beach yoke and Xbox. How do they plug in? Thanks
@@rickl6697 the TM rudder pedals you refer to don’t connect directly to Xbox unfortunately. Only connects via the TM Hotas as far as I know.
Hi Mark, I want to buy honeycomb alpha XPC, Bravo TQ and hub for xbox, charlie rudder pedals are not available, Since TFRP and Velocity one rudder pedals does not work separately, what do you suggest?
I wish honeycomb alpha had LT RT like turtle beech yoke!
Is ther a way to use honecomb alpha without rudder pedals!?
Maybe xbox controller at one hand and yoke at the other hand while landing!?😄
What would you choose between turtle beech velocity one and honeycomb alpha- bravo?I mean without considering price.
I had turtlebeech velocity one for a week, I noticed a 10 -15% deadzone from pitch down to neutral position. So I returned it.
I recommend Alpha and bravo for a fuller experience. You could assign rudder to the toggle switches on the right hand side.
@@SimHangerFS Thanks Mark.
Does this rudder works with Mac computers and X-plane 12?
Have not been able to get the velocity, one rudder pedals to work with X plane 11. I get an error message that the road pedals have been detected, but are not assigned to any access or button. I can’t figure out how to do this. They calibrate OK, but after calibration fail to actually control the aircraft rudder.
This is a huge disappointment, because otherwise, the rudder pedals have all the benefits described in your video, which is excellent by the way. As far as X-Plane is concerned, for me they are at this point 5 hours of frustration away from plug-and-play.
They seem to work fine in Microsoft FS.
I have not tried them in Xplane 11.
Since the making of this video, have there been any firmware updates for Xbox users that make the firmware update for a new set of the pedals smoother? Or should I still resort to updating my pedals I'm receiving today on my PC? Thanks for the great video Mark!
You can update via Xbox or PC.
@@SimHangerFS I suppose my question was do you still advise against updating on XBOX or have you heard it doesn't get stuck anymore? Thanks 😎
@@jhallock seems okay at this stage. 👍
@@SimHangerFS I went ahead and hooked it up straight to the Xbox last night and it updated with flying colors 👍👍 Thanks for the quality, detailed video to help me make my decision to order these! Now to learn how to fly again 😉
I have the Thrustmaster Pedal right now and I'm one the fence whether I should get the V1 Pedals. Any one here with experiences on both please chime in.
i can not judge this stuff, because i didn't use pedals before, and 30 years used twist before this pedals. second day of lelearning and i feel much less stress than yesterday:) looks like couple a weeks adaptation, but i will miss the twist all my life i guess. it will not give you same precision and if you don't need that benefit you don't need pedals. but twist if it works good enough, like mine in x65f, much much much more intuitive and convenient, than any pedals. but any way this thing is good:)
It's two years since this video was posted and it is still nigh on impossible for X Boxers to upload firmware updates from the control centre 🥴😟
What USB hub do I need to connect my turtle beach pedals and my alpha honeycomb yoke to my Xbox?
For PC - none. They connect individually. For Xbox the Honeycomb hub does not support the TB rudders.
Do you think this rudder will work well with helicopters?
Yes, most rudder pedals do, the GA config will help.😊
I was going to buy this rudder pedal as I could no longer wait for the Honeycomb Charlie, when while searching online people suggested MFG Crosswind V3 explaining that its one of the best, have you heard of it?
That is definitely one of the best ones. I have one.
Can you use these pedals without having the Velocity one yoke on PC?
Yes, direct connection only for the PC…as mentioned numerous times in the video.
This tutorial is extremely helpful!!
Thank you!
Unrelated question, but what model of Cessna 172 are you using? The only ones I find don't have the "6 pack" instruments!
I'm in training and want to be as close as I can to what I'm using..
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Default C172 in MSFS Cessna - not the G1000 model. (Skylane)
@@SimHangerFS thanks for the quick reply, are you sure you don't mean the 152?
All of my available 172s are G1000
@@PcN3wb yes definitely 172, I have the premium version of MSFS.
@@SimHangerFS this is likely the culprit!

Can you use the rudder pedals without the turtle beach yoke
On PC yes you can. Xbox … no
Can you use these rudder pedals with the Velocity Flight stick on Xbox Series X?
Yes…see here for details th-cam.com/video/hcWwaU1rsrw/w-d-xo.html
@SimHangerFS thank you, sir. I think I'll give these a try
Hi Mark. Just got the velocity one yoke and rudders. The yoke updated easily but I just can't get the rudder firmware to update, I've tried through the xbox and a laptop but to no avail, any help would be appreciated as not having much luck with turtle beach
Does this rudder pedals work with honeycomb alpha and bravo?
PC yes, Xbox via the hub, no.
Hello Mark, it would be possible to make a video about how to setup the honeycomb throttle quadrant for the new a310 from inibuilds, i can't get the reverses right 😭😭
In the EFB change reversers to no….then it works 😀
I'm looking to purchase a set of these Velocity rudder pedals and I have read on a Forum that for the PC, these rudder pedals do not work when combined with the Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo on MS2020.. I've tried to research any additional information unsuccessfully. Can anyone verify they do in fact work ? Thx.
how nice do these sit on carpet
@@yooturboo excellent.
Will these work with the honeycomb flight yoke if I am using a PC?
Thanks in advance!
Yes, but they require a separate usb port. 👍
I can't seem to get these pedals to register in star citizen. They do nothing and I can't set them to any axis it just doesn't do anything. Help?
Hope someone can assist. I don’t have that program.
Hi mark I’m looking for some help.
I’m on Xbox x and have followed everything you have done but when I go to sensitivity the tow brakes aren’t there.
I did dry powering down and rebooting and they appeared and worked fine but not 2x days later when I go back I can’t get them to work..??
Make sure they are configured to an axis. Test with different aircraft. Delete the brake configuration, restart and reconfigure. This may sort it out. Once done & no improvement you may have a faulty unit.
Hello, José from Portugal. Just received my rudder pedals. I have made the update firmware but have un issue! Every time I shut down the MSFS and start it my brakes does not work and have to start the configurations again wich is,s not easy because in the settings they exist but not working until ok, but .... again. Is that a bug? Does it happens to you, too? Very strange because yestarday they works fine, only since today got the problem. Well, if you have any sugestion I woul apreciate thanking you in advance. See you. Jose Andrade
I don’t have this problem, suggest you create another profile and save it and delete the one causing problems. Make sure your selected profile is the active one.

Hi Mark,
I've recently purchased the rudder set up for my partner to connect with the velocity one yoke, I've followed the steps to set it up but it's not working, it won't let me switch on rudders through the yoke settings.

Update rudder firmware only as shown, with rudders attached. This may help.
Got it sorted thank you 😊
I use the Xbox series X, but when I connect my rudder pedals to my velocityone yoke, they are not listed in the “controls options menu”. Everything is connected properly, and the rudder is on Xbox mode. What could I have done wrong?
