You said "The proof of the pudding is in the eating". Not "The proof is in the pudding" as the vast majority of people incorrectly say. This alone made me subscribe! Oh, and great review.
That was the single most detailed review I have ever seen in my life! None of the other reviews go to this length to fully test a product. Great work. This was extremely helpful for me.
Most comprehensive review I’ve seen so far, look forward to the following review videos as I’m on the fence at the moment due to the issues you’ve identified along with other users in sim forums. Thanks for the time and effort.
What a great first review , thank you. I’m using this product with x box series s and I’m impressed with it so far, one thing I have noticed is rudder is very sensitive so I’m looking forward to watching your configuration and settings videos soon. Thanks again for a great start.
I enjoyed your recommendations. Thank you. I am a real world private pilot who can no longer obtain a medical certificate to fly. Question, Is there a way to play Microsoft flight simulator with Sata usb flight controllers and panels with a Xbox series 10 console, thru a meta quest 3 vr headset? Thanks for suggestion you can give me.
Hi Mark, thanks for the nice review, did the stickiness go away after some time as TB said and how about the throttle performance in time? Thanks for the answer greetz PH-DOC
The VelocityOne Flight controller does what it says it does…a few niggles, but overall a great addition to the flight sim peripheral market. I have it and no regrets! Check out my config video here th-cam.com/video/nm0y1QmH_0g/w-d-xo.html
Great review - thanks for uploading. It's good to know the concerns around the pitch stickiness the lightness associated with the levers. At the price point it might hold out buying for a while longer to see how these concerns fare out.
I added some electrical tape around the throttle quadrant levers, 3-4 layers added a good level of resistance to it, then add lubrication to get rid of the noise
Your TH-cam videos are brilliant. Very simple, clear and informative. As a novice simmer they have got me on the journey. The videos on the VelocityOne sold me on that, and I now have one of those. Anyway, now that Turtle Beach have released the 1.10 update and the detent controls are available on the XBox, it would be really good if you could do an update to the configuration video showing how you would now recommend we set up reverse thrust. Work around 1 is fine - but complex. And now that the detent capability is there I would love to see how that would influence your expert recommendation on how we should implement that in the profiles that we have created. Thanks for your good work - it is appreciated.
I've had mine a few days Mark and reported the sticky problem to Turtle Beach, they said it will free up with use. My concern is how long can we let it work loose before they refuse to RMA it if it remains sticky. Someone else said is you apply upward pressure on the yoke the stickiness is reduced. I do hope the stickiness does vanish because the unit is a well thought out concept. My other gripe, like you, is the looseness of the 4 power levers, they really do need more resistance.
Another excellent review Mark, looking forward to your configuration video. I have the Velocity also and I would rate it as 9/10, because of the two things you were not happy with, otherwise I would of given it 10/10. One of the main reasons I bought it was of the rudder controls on the yoke, as I have a gammy leg so can't use rudder pedals. Thanks again Mark for another great video.
I know you can't use the throttle without the yoke, but if you plugged in a flight stick at the same time as the yoke, could you use the flight stick for control and leave the yoke itself to the side, and just use the throttle?
The Logitech yoke can be sticky too, my solution is to lube the shaft with candle wax. Simply rub a parafin candle hard over the shaft and move it in and out a lot. Yes yes, I know about the inuendo of lubing the shaft and moving it. :)
@@SimHangerFS trust me though, it will help and being a hard wax, it won't be sticky other than a few white deposits. Seriously, it works. Doesn't collect dirt because it's a dry lube.
@@get_outdoors Yep, I tried dry lube but still found candle wax better and longer lasting. I use paraffin wax on my cycle chains, take them off, bathe them in melted wax. All much of a muchness though, it all helps :)
Mark, Great Review. I dont have this Yoke ( Full Saitek setup here....) but a friend of mine does ( on X-Box series X) and he shares the same enthusiasm as you, but sadly 'had' the same 'sticky' sensation during some pitch manoeuvres that your experiencing ( he's flying the TBM930 ) however, what he has discovered is that if his aircraft is perfectly trimmed ( and this is from a retired pilot) he finds there's no sticky input whatsoever! If the column was physically 'sticky' it would be sticky all the time, during all stages of flight! He's also had the same feedback from the company suggesting it should wear in time, and he's got the documentaion in-place for a return, HOWEVER! my friend is now saying that the column actually feels more realistic/lifelike because of this situation. He feels like the aircraft is actually ' fighting back, against the trim forces, simply because its not properly trimmed ( and you do have to trim often). He's now confident that the trim alone is the answer to his problem, and maybe yours,so maybe give this a thought/try and see what your feedback is?
Nice review! I had been racking my brains trying to work out the point of selecting profiles on the yoke itself. Now I get it😉 and know it’s nothing too critical for me. Thanks for clearing that up!
Did anyone have issues with the trim wheel not responding? Its not registering in the when scanning, nor is it showing in the training menu on the yoke.
I had to click to scan input for elevator trim then turn the wheel about 3 full revolutions or so to get it to recognize. Make sure you're scanning on the quad if using PC, not yoke.
Thanks for really precious information. My Yoke often time stuck when pull or push and move uncontrolled in a big step. You have any idea how ro make movements smoother. Use oil or something?
Doesn’t work well with Xbox series X. I purchased one and returned it. When you click the globe to configure departure and arrival, the globe starts spinning and won’t stop, making it impossible to configure your flight. I’m not buying any other yoke system until turtle beach fixes this problem and I’ll by it again because I loved it. Unfortunatly it didn’t work for me.
This setup works well with MS 2020, it is terrible, pretty much unusable with fsx. I wasn't aware of this when I purchased the Velocity one so I wasted the money.
Hmmm. Maybe I should wait for Honeycomb to release their yoke and throttles, and tango foxtrot flight stick for Xbox. The wait is kling me to have a setup for console.
A "clearly defined center" in the pitch and yaw axis is something that does not exist in a real aircraft and technically does not need to be there, but is there and something that I personally find to be extremely annoying about this yoke. I wish someone would post a video that includes a view of the inner workings of this yoke to explore the possibilities of eliminating that bump in the axis travel.
for almost $400, the fact that pitch is sticky, and those levers are so loose is... unfortunate. Still, I wish I could afford something like this. Also, I think it would be cooler if they let you swap out the buttons on it for actual switches! Nothing can replace the satisfaction of a nice switch. Also, for $400 you'd think there'd be a landing gear lever
I'm a PC guy don't game ... but what version of X-Box is required not really interested in all the MSFS Scenery. More to learn GPS approach/navigation with glass panels.
Just at the very start of getting into sim at later life stage & your review was Perfect for a true newbie....your vid showed & addressed sooo many things clearly & explanations made it encouraging to move forward w the hobby & the Velocity one. I really liked what looks like the relative ease of the setting up (menus & yoke screen)... Gr8 job Thx
Superb review! Subscribed. As for the Turtle Beach Control Center app... 175mb for an app that only is good for updating firmware is ridiculous. Ah, gotta have at least one thing to complain about. lol.
Mine is going back. My right hand buttons crapped out, no right hand brake and no right rudder, had it fixed, not long had it back same issue, it's crap, so going to demand a refund, not want this crap.
Any fix for the Cursor toggle? I am having issues during the training mode on MFS. I have to use my Xbox controller to access the Cursor feature. This is unfortunate since I've only owned this for two days.
Hi Mark, hope you don't mind me asking. Is it worth the extra money for a Keyboard with the buttons labeled up already . This is £109 and was interested what you thought on this. I will get a yoke & throttle eventually but for now keyboard with xbox controller. Many thanks Nick
A yoke etc is more realistic and makes control easier. If your happy with a keyboard then no problem go for it, although £109 does seem a bit on the pricy side.
@@SimHangerFS Yes definitely a yoke and throttle set later, but £350 on top of the £550 for the xbox x plus the MFS game this is a bit much to start with. What I was asking, is the pre labeled keyboard necessary or a none label keyboard find and easily use able. It seems most of the work of button clicking is done with the mouse. Hope you don't mind me asking. Cheers Mark.
Just a question, can the yoke be used without their throttle? I have in mind using the yoke with a thrustmaster tca airbus edition quadrant ala CRJ setup.
@@SimHangerFS What about the other way? ie. can you use the TQ with a separate joystick, for appropriate aircraft. I know you said the TQ and Yoke can be separated but the TQ still needs to attach to the yoke and then PC. But I wonder if you could set up a profile that disables the yoke axes and incorporates a joystick.
You are using the rightmost Lever as a flap switch ... is it possible to configure a cowl flap handle. You will burn up your Engine without opening the COWL FLAPS on take off.
I had purchased this directly from Microsoft store. Had to return it, as the yoke was "sticking" and not sliding smoothly. It made take off nd landings impossible. The only control I enjoyed and was made well, was the Trim Wheel.
Once i select the radio frequency with xbox controller the knob keeps on spinning and cannot be adjusted. Also seems randomly video clips are created. How do you change values? How do you adjust the altitude bug? Thanks
Mark I found my dumb ass mistake, it was like you said in the Assist. I had Assist set for mixture. Everything is cool now and thanks for all you do and all your help. Only thing now is trying to get my screen to fit, but I don't think I can on this TV. Thanks again.
Well they 100% screwed themselves here they Throttle should have be able to be used as a single device, The Throttle alone I would have purchased because it offers something 99% of the rest dont and that is the extra axis for mix, prop and 4 engine control. I would have loved to got it and added it to my pit but guess they didn't think about making extra cash with the system.
I purchased this controller to use with my Xbox, when I tried to update the Firmware it would lock up and do nothing. I contacted turtle Beach and they told me the only way to fix it is with a Windows operating system computer with that being the only way to get the firmware upgrades done. Is there any other way to do this? I do not have a Windows computer nor do I know anyone who has one
Excellent Review I purchased the Velocity one over to Honeycomb an other one because it hf the Veneer (Push Pull) controls because I fly Cessna more than Piper of Mooney. I don't care about any scenery except the runway thresholder at 200'& 1/2 mile on an LNAV, VNAV, & LPV GPS/RNAV approaches.
I purchased this and returned it for a refund, unfortunately there are a lot of programming , software and hardware issues with this unit, the major issues is with V1 and XBOX very little to no functionality
Great review Mark. Thanks to you I'm feeling more comfortable purchasing it and I think we can definitely expect some 3rd party 3D printed rubber mods to increase the resistance of the levers.
Very nice ... I have the Honeycomb Yoke and throttle... I wish there was a RUDDER /brake component on the yoke as you described using the triggers with your index fingers. Do you know of any solution for using a yoke and applying rudder and brakes with the yoke features ? I actually applied the rudder to the same axis as the ailerons and that seems really good, but not perfect. I also note in MSFS that my trim wheel is a little sluggish ? Great job as always .
As someone who plunked down over $600 for the Honeycomb yoke and throttle, and to find out later, they weren’t Xbox compatible, I’m wishing I had waited.
@@llkmarkll6934 i believe there may be a third party adapter out now but the makers of the honeycomb controls announced an early 2022 spring release of the Xbox compatible controls and the adapter for the honeycomb controls. Sorry for the confusion. So just hang in there it’s coming lol
I have velocity one but it is not recognizing in the flyght simulation, I use it on PC, it appears however without the photo and without any button configured could it help me?
Is it possible to separate the throttles from the yoke and fasten the throttle quadrant on a separate desk? I have a special smaller table next to my desk that would position the throttles at the proper position relative to the yoke placement.
Ordering the Alpha+Bravo in PT it nearly 600 euros, when this setup costs 380. The Saltek is at 160 though. I saw all 3 reviews. I am a student, and I'm actually learning how to fly an aircraft, and therefore I want to buy this as a compliment for learning at home. What would you recommend me? P.S. I saw 2/5 here vs 5/5 to the Alpha, do you really believe that the low quality of the buttons in the Alpha on-yoke momentary switches and the main switch won't start to malfunction or even break in the long term?
I really like my Honeycomb Alpha, but this yoke looks pretty nice. I like that it has triggers/bumpers for rudders, and having the screen looks handy for figuring out what all the controls do.
When you say you won't compare this device to the Honeycomb because they are aimed at different markets.... Can you explain what you mean by that? What market is the honeycomb aimed at, and what market the velictyone? Thanks!
So quick question, im using the single prop config. Whenever i hit the view button to toggle cursor, nothing happens. Im am also unable to use the pov switch #1 to move the cursor in the menu. This is what the manual says will move the cursor and i have checked to make sure the buttons are right on the game and they are…

I almost don't want to watch this review because I just purchased the T-Flight Hotas for Xbox series S.. is this controller better??
They are different controllers, this is a yoke and the one you have ordered is a flight stick.
I have the Hotas and I bought this instead. Miles better. But I still use the Hotas if i want to fly the F18 for example
@@ZimmermanTelegram Thanks.. I want to get this eventually.. but it's a bit out of my price range and I want to get better at fly simulation
@@SimHangerFS Okay thank you
boo hoo, I want one!
Do you know if this is at all compatible with P3dv4.5?
Very useful review. Thank you for the good job. Greetings from EDWB.
Hi Mark how do you start the engine via velocity 1 thanks.
As someone who plunked down over $600 for the Honeycomb yoke and throttle, and to find out later, they weren’t Xbox compatible, I’m wishing I had waited.
did the same and returned thru amazon luckily. waited for this to release
They make a $30 adapter for Xbox
@@joshuawright4898 seriously? That would be great news.
@@llkmarkll6934 i believe there may be a third party adapter out now but the makers of the honeycomb controls announced an early 2022 spring release of the Xbox compatible controls and the adapter for the honeycomb controls. Sorry for the confusion. So just hang in there it’s coming lol
@@joshuawright4898 I’ll definitely wait. Thanks for the info.
I have velocity one but it is not recognizing in the flyght simulation, I use it on PC, it appears however without the photo and without any button configured could it help me?
Check it is switched to pc mode and update firmware on yoke.
@@SimHangerFS checked 1.4.0
Mine gets delivered tomorrow, I'm excited to get flying
Is it possible to separate the throttles from the yoke and fasten the throttle quadrant on a separate desk? I have a special smaller table next to my desk that would position the throttles at the proper position relative to the yoke placement.
great video , i plan to buy flight controls soon.This was a very good review.
Ordering the Alpha+Bravo in PT it nearly 600 euros, when this setup costs 380. The Saltek is at 160 though. I saw all 3 reviews.
I am a student, and I'm actually learning how to fly an aircraft, and therefore I want to buy this as a compliment for learning at home.
What would you recommend me?
P.S. I saw 2/5 here vs 5/5 to the Alpha, do you really believe that the low quality of the buttons in the Alpha on-yoke momentary switches and the main switch won't start to malfunction or even break in the long term?
The Logitech peripherals are good value for money. Honeycomb is more realistic and better quality.
I really like my Honeycomb Alpha, but this yoke looks pretty nice. I like that it has triggers/bumpers for rudders, and having the screen looks handy for figuring out what all the controls do.
yeah im in the same boat. I assume the Alphas are a bit more sturdy but it's hard not to want all the extra features this provides. Argh. Want.
Such an amazing review! I got my FS2020 and waiting a couple of days to buy this one!
What a great review. Great product too. Thanks for this video!
As said before super Review of this product...
Thank you, this video was amazing and very informative
Great review. Looking forward to practicing ILS/RNAV approaches. Thanks
I use my keyboard, and mouse it's just as good.
When you say you won't compare this device to the Honeycomb because they are aimed at different markets.... Can you explain what you mean by that? What market is the honeycomb aimed at, and what market the velictyone?
Thanks!
The Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo (you have to include both to compare to V1F) fall into a very different price bracket. Circa £600 vs £350.
So quick question, im using the single prop config. Whenever i hit the view button to toggle cursor, nothing happens. Im am also unable to use the pov switch #1 to move the cursor in the menu. This is what the manual says will move the cursor and i have checked to make sure the buttons are right on the game and they are…
I couldn’t get it working either. I believe it is a known bug in the default config
Great work on your review of this product, I enjoy watching your video's about Flight Simulator 2020 .
