Thank you very much for your detailed and honest review after a few months of actual use. I just received my VO1 Controller, and I'll be going back to your previous video for setup help, instructions, and fine-tuning. As a relatively new subscriber to your channel, your videos have helped me prepare for my installation and first flight. Also, just joined your membership too. Thank You!
I can't add much to do your comments justice - thank you :)
Same here! I found this channel researching this yoke myself and it has been very helpful indeed.
Same here, found this channel after looking for a review a few months on. I read about the yoke stickiness and turtle saying it will ease up with use.
For anyone considering buying this considering you’re used to a joystick..let me just say, I’ve been flying desktop flight sims for YEARS…Always with a joystick..I set mine up an hour ago and I could never go back!!! It changes hand flying in a way that can not be conveyed…I strongly suggest you pull the trigger on this one!
100% agree! I'm working on a video using it with other games to show its versatility.
I purchased this unit last week, upgraded from only using a keyboard. I can't express how much my FS2020 experience has positively increased since using it. I used to struggle achieving small subtle movements in flight but as you mentioned the trim wheel on here is amazing., I'm not even sure if I am meant to control the plane as much as I do by using the trim wheel but it is so smooth, subtle and accurate. The yoke is not really an issue for me and I also the weight and smoothness of how it handles. The throttle is also a godsend, I now have full control of my speed for landings. All the button allocation options are fantastic and I am still working on a configuration that suits me. I highly recommend this unit just like yourself. I now have confidence in moving up in aircraft size knowing that I have better control but more importantly enjoying the whole experience.
Thanks for your videos, I have learnt a lot.
You humble me Sir - and I bet it's a massive upgrade for you coming from a Keyboard only.
I use the rim a lot myself, as far as real life goes it depends, the way modern airliners work they pretty well auto trim so i wouldn't call it cheating! I cant believe you flew on a kb, that would indeed be painful!
@@Huddison agreed! Who the hell uses a keyboard to fly a plane! At least use a joystick!
Best demo ever! Thank you for clarifying the issues which made it easier to make a decision to get one.
Good to hear that this video has been helpful for you. Enjoy it when you do get it.
Sold. Looks and works great that yoke set up. Thank you. Nice review 👌
Thanks & you're most welcome.
I just want to say thanks for the video. I recently made the decision to go for a private pilot's license and your review absolutely sold me on this yoke. I ordered it late a couple nights ago and should have it tomorrow so I can spend the weekend getting used to it. I'm really looking forward to it as well as the world of aviation. Again, thanks for your opinions and have a wonderful day!
Wow, the best of luck with your PPL (& Velocity One ;).
Recently picked one of these up myself and love it. It's my first yoke every so it is taking some getting use to after using a flight stick for so long but I think it does add a bit more realism. I did encounter some of the sticking people talked about however I did notice that if I didn't rest the weight of my hands on it, it didn't stick at all. I also got some Teflon spray, sprayed some of that on a paper towel and then wiped that on the shaft of the yoke to help reduce the sticking. I think it's worked pretty good so far.
That's a good tip - enjoy your new yoke ;)
@@thesn00tyfox worked out pretty good.
@Micah The yoke setup is much more immersive than using a hotas.
@Micah They would suit your preferences then.
is this microsoft flight simulator
I love this Yoke, even though there is a slight sticking point the Yoke it’s self is just incredible. I have reprogrammed all the buttons and fly in VR only a Cessna 172 and it’s brilliant. It’ was your first video that made me go out that day and buy it. Cheers mate and happy flying.
Wow that's amazing - glad you're enjoying it as much as I am!
Do you use a headset for VR?
I just brought it like 2 days ago and I'm loving it i have been flight Siming since 1996 and now wow i Can't believe how far we have come
We live in the Golden age of Flight Simming.
I've had the VelocityOne Flight for a few months now and I'm totally happy with it. The only thing I still wish Turtle Beach would do is to include interchangeable templates for the MODULAR THROTTLE QUADRANT, like the ones for the SIP. In the meantime, however, I have made my own templates for the MODULAR THROTTLE QUADRANT. 😊
Wonderful 👏
I'm interested in seeing what you made.
@@slostboyz420 Unfortunately it is not possible to copy photos here
@@markusz1956 if you have imgur you can upload the photos and then just post the link.
@@slostboyz420 dont work here...
I help maintain a fleet of PA-28’s, Piper Archers, for a large flight school. A clean lint free rag, and a spray can of silicone clears up this issue for us. Spray the rag and wipe down the yoke shaft, it will clean up any dirt and lube at the same time. Unless Turtle Beach has a problem with this practice it should work on the yoke.
If Thrustmaster and Turtle Beach could make a hybrid stick and rudder system that could support multi engine configurations for Xbox that would be cool, but the HOTAS One w/rudder works good enough for bush flying the Savage Cub.
Been going back and forth with this yoke and the Boeing one. I've officially solidified my decision and ordered the Velocity. Thanks for the help! Can't wait for Monday to get mine. I'm upgrading from the Hotas One which you also helped me set up perfectly. Keep up the great content thank you👍🏼
Wonderful, enjoy your new Yoke when it arrives 😎
I would love the boeing one but can’t justify almost $1000 aud. Velocity for me as well
I LOVE my VelocityOne Yoke System. Total immersion!
Absolutely!
9.0 because the pitch sticks and the flimsy throttle quad. They are way to light but I do like the setup and what you can do with all the buttons, and you my friend have helped many of us setup up our TBVO system. In fact getting it setup for multi engine and GA have been helpful. On a side note I would love to see Gulfstream 650 or just the Gulfstreams in general along with more Bombardier Falcon and netjet type planes. Xbox series X here.
Fair score - & thank you ;)
Apparently there is a cheap fix for the throttles. a bit of felt furniture pad will add resistance to the throttle and solve the loose issues with it.
always enjoyable ... great unit - but I miss the AP features like on the TM Boeing yoke combo
I was considering getting a V1 but decided shortly after to go for a Honeycomb Alpha + Bravo combo. Great video though! The V1 definitely is the best on a budget and for the value, but I heard so many complaints about the sticking! Honeycomb didn't seem to have that problem luckily. Super excited for it to arrive!
The Honeycomb set are excellent - enjoy!
Thanks for a great review! I was hoping you would do one just like this Huddison I have been on the fence about the V1 since it came out, and I’m glad I held off. To me the yoke is the most important aspect, and if it takes weeks or months to break in I’m not interested. I’ve had a few yokes over the years and none required to be broken in. I’m hoping it’s a design flaw that they address in future manufacturing, but I have no idea.
A lot of people are saying that their yoke is smooth & flexible; it might've just been a bad batch run.
@@Huddison That’s good to know, I will look into it a little more. Thank you!
Ive been using mine about 3 days, really love the yoke itself, the GA controls are fantastic and ive found myself enjoying GA aircraft a lot as a result even though i mostly wanted yoke for flying airliners with the quadrant, the trim wheel is tops as well. Ive found the yoke and trim wheel helping a lot with with achieving smooth landings, mines not at all stiff in the pitch as long as you pull straight back with no downward tension. My only issue is with the headphone passthrough, which has been causing me grief (on pc) as i have to disable and enable to get it to function, TB support has been helpful and they offered a possible solution (i will edit this if it works!) to sort it im yet to test. Ive honestly not bothered with the indicator panel as once i get muscle memory on this new controller i will be playing in vr predominantly. Its a different world to my x56, but worth mentioning if you want to do any sort of aerobatics (like the air races) or dogfighting in other titles, don't get a yoke! I have pretty decent times on time trials with my x56 but it was near impossible with the yoke! Oh i do find my quadrant too loose, below a certain point they fall under their own weight! Ill deal with it in some way though, not a deal breaker for me at all.
Enjoying your content Huddison, i see many more subs in your future!
Amazing comments & I'm happy to hear that you are enjoying your V1F as well ;)
I watched a video where someone used some sticky soft pads and stuck them to the controls to stiffen the resistance. Worked a treat . I'll try and find the link.
ua-cam.com/video/pVqmzlR4ZC4/v-deo.html
Thank you so much for this!
You're most welcome!
Just love mine!
agree with most things you said,The mechanical engineer who designed the trim wheel needs a big bonus unlike the engineer who designed the throttle quadrant mine is very loose. I used some ice cream sticks and heat shrink to increase friction and this works well. I mainly fly vr and the controls on the yoke itself are brilliant easily accessed by feel. The 10 switches between the throttle quadrant and the vernier controls are very difficult to discern by feel. A more distinctive key top would be a definite bonus for us vr'ers. Overall I give it an 8 out of 10 damn good!!!!
Great points, I can imagine it's a bit more challenging to discern controls in VR.
HAHA, its almost like two separate people/teams did the ga/trim (fantastic) and the quadrant (not fantastic)! I am happy to mod it, even if i have to void my warranty and pull the throttle apart and build a tensioning system, maybe even some nice billet levers...
Great video, as usual pal. I must be in the minority, I haven’t noticed the pitch sticking at all. My only problem is the issue with sensitivity settings not saving. However, I believe this is resolved for the HOTAS one in the upcoming SU8, I’m hoping it’s also fixed for the VO1 too. If not, it’s a disgrace.
Let's pray that they are both resolved 🤞
@@Huddison I’m with you there. I only change a couple of axis on my VO1, but I’ve not flown the F18 yet because it sickens me having to reconfigure my H1. It’s only a few axis I change, but I’ve gotten to the point where until they fix it I haven’t used it.
I never played flight simulator. Now i’m totally addicted and I own this yoke. I even rented a motion simulator they use for pilot training to see if I can fly and safely land a Boeing😄. Next month I got the appointment on the airport.
Let me know how it goes.
This is a great yoke system for us X-Box users but one issue that has been uncovered is that when using the built-in stopwatch it upsets the ailerons and causes random hard-overs. No idea how the two are connected but it happens, I have had my VF1 replaced by TB and the new one is the same, it seems to point to a firmware bug. If you don't use the stopwatch its perfect and i only discovered this bug when i started doing dead-reckoning flight planning, i use a separate stopwatch now.
Interesting, Ill have to test that.
Come here to check your review and then I see myself flying about in your video in a spitfire 😂
A star is born! ⭐;)
Great review and I will be seriously looking at upgrading to this setup in the future. ✈️👍
Thanks & great to hear
Good Lord, I knew I should not have watched this video! Now I have to have one of these!! My wallet may have to have a few words with you.
Cheers from Canada.
Always happy to help you spend Jamie 😁
Yup.... Between this and the throttle fix videos talking about putting a small piece of self adhesive felt pad into the gap to increase resistance, and it sounds like the V1 is the best bag for buck for the MSFS 2020 crowd. ie: Me. Good thing I can pick up overtime at work to pay for this monster! I also will be crying from Canada as my wallet bleeds!
Cheers!
im happy with my alpha yoke & bravo throttle, but this looks also beatiful !
I’m between the honeycomb and this one from turtle beach. What do u think
@@BobbyGonz im still happy with my alpha yoke everyday :) my next step... brunner force feedback yoke :D
@@ZockerBudeVR Just pulled the trigger and bought one. Thanks
@@BobbyGonz congrats :) its a nice peace of hardware :) also the price is very good!!
@@BobbyGonz try before you buy, I'm not happy with the Velocity 1, still sticking for me
I love the look of this and am really tempted to buy one. The only thing that’s putting me off is the fact that I play this on Series X on a big TV in the living room sitting in a comfy chair with a keyboard on my lap and so I don’t have any where to mount it. Unless I move my Xbox to a different room and use a spare monitor which I do have, but i want the Xbox left on the big TV for all other games. 🤷♂️🤔
Some folks use a movable table to mount their yoke on.
I'm weighing this up in my head too. I play in the living room laid on a sofa. I'm considering building something to go over my legs to mount a yoke on.
@@markmayfield3488 Check in the comments and the Discord; people use a sliding/movable table to mount their yoke on, whilst sat on the sofa etc.
Good news! SU8 downloaded to my Xbox Series X last night, tested them this morning and both the HOTAS One & Velocity One sensitivities now save and persist past game shut down and restart!! Hooray!!
Yippie! Expect my settings vids on those soon.
@@Huddison When I saw the HOTAS referenced in the release notes, I hoped it would also sort the VelocityOne as it couldn't possibly be on a per device issue, had to be something global. Maybe a registry save that fails or something.
I just got my xbox series x and flight sim, and my hotas, how do you adjust the sensitivity? Thx 🙏
@@njdnjdnjd ua-cam.com/video/LiFZm_LNa_s/v-deo.html
@@njdnjdnjd On the settings panel make sure you have the HOTAS selected, on the top left you will see a menu item that says sensitivities, click on that then go through each axis you want to adjust
Looks like a great yoke! I only wish the color display can be customized for the Xbox. Would love to display things like airspeed and altitude since we are limited to the kind of peripherals we can use for the xbox
The front display you mean?
@@Huddison The display on the yoke itself
@@UnrelatedNonsense Yes I hope that more features are added to it in the future.
Thank's a lot for the review ! I'd like to buy it, but I really don't like all those rgb lights and bells and whistles on this yoke.
You can turn the lights off. Well worth buy as a flight yoke system.
Thanks for the update. I'll be getting one imminently. I'll check out your other videos for set up with xbox series X. Do you recommend that I also get a mouse and keyboard with this yoke?
A mouse for sure; keyboard would be useful.
I really need the SIP panel lights on the XBOX! it doesnt work yet. But I love my Velocity One Flight!
Seems like it may be on its way soon.
Like you and others, I was at first concerned about the pitch stickiness. It made short field landings, where I need one hand on the yoke and one on the throttle, sketchy, but at some point - I'm not even sure when - it went away and my bush landings smoothed out.
My only quibble is, while putting the rudder controls on the back side of the yoke handles on what are essentially the Xbox controller trigger buttons is a reasonable solution, it makes a left crosswind side-slip landings impossible, or at least more difficult, since I have to take my hand off the right rudder to control the throttle.
Great point Dr; there is no doubt that a set of rudder pedal is the optimal way to fly & on that point, I'm very much looking forward to TB rudders hopefully coming soon.
Great point
I've learned a lot from watching your videos. Thanks so much. As far as I can tell, the SIP is still not supported on Xbox (as of April, 2022). Is that true? That seems like a HUGE drawback to me. I couldn't justify to myself spending that kind of money not knowing when (or if) this major feature is going to be implemented.
The SIP is still not implemented on Xbox at this time.
I did ask James from Turtle Beach, as to when it will come to the Xbox: he said that they are working hard with Asobo to bring it over to the Xbox platform.
That's all we know, at this time.
I would love to learn how to use this in Star Citizen. I am curious if there is any Turtle Beach or third party support for mapping/ integration for this game. The pitch/ roll/ yaw paradigm of the yoke seems compelling to use in this game, especially for a larger ship. That tasty display panel right on the yoke itself- what could be done with that?!?
I don't know of any support for it in SC; it sounds like an exciting prospect though. The front display is mainly used for setting up settings/colours etc currently.
Thank you very much for your reviews on this. I am brand new to any flight simulators and Im already looking to update from the xbox controller on pc but have been struggling so much with what to get and this helped a lot. One question on something I may have missed on one of your previous videos.....in the menu is the profile option for setting up different plane profiles?
On the yoke's screen utility, there are currently a couple of profiles you can switch between: Single Prop and Twin Engine - but they are not what I would class as extensive,
You're best setting up your own profiles and parameters in MSFS itself IMO.
@@Huddison I saw in another review that the individual started to experience some side to side wiggle where the yoke itself attaches to the rod. Have you experienced this at all? Sorry for the questions I just want to make the right decision as its not a cheap investment and you have used the yoke for a while. I also don't want to make a decision off of one persons not so great experience. Thank you again
@@nitrofrogg431 I've not noticed any wiggle on the yoke personally; it may really depend on a person's prference to seek for issues on it. I typically seek to focus on the positive aspects of the given controller.
At 9:11 you state AP and Heading, How do you get your Autopilot to follow the course you laid in before take off? You mentioned AP button and "that" button?
See this video, for how I set up my Autopilot on my VF1: ua-cam.com/video/_CC2Zm6jtSc/v-deo.html
Great review. I'm curious though. Does this yoke and throttle setup work for multiengine propeller plane as well? I have heard it only does single engine prop or multiengine jet. But I'd like to fly the DA42 twin propeller aircraft. Thanks.
Ben
You can more than likely configure the push/pull levers for multi prop aircraft.
great stuff again -thanks for posting - Your video does convince me to switch to it .Question however : as a xbox x user I wonder whether I will be faced with the same issue for all the cockpit interactions (locked in last update and no way to switch to "legacy" to get rid of this issue.)Any advise ?
Come and ask this in our Discord: discord.gg/Ameu93sHfY for more in-depth advise.
Put lub on pitch shaft, stops sticking, a little slicon grease, that won't eat plastic, or a little vegetable oil that won't eat plastic will stop this, qont need much
I have restrained myself from doing this so far and after a few months, there's little cause to do so
@@Huddison That is why I am staying away from yokes right now! I have a little used set of saitek rudder pedals and am desperately seeking info about how and when the partnership of Logitech-Honeycomb will make equipment available which will make them xbox compatible!
Just to echo Dennis, don’t get excessive with the lub, put the lubricant on the rag and not on the yoke, and then clean the shaft.
Morning,
So ive been looking at various Flight sim add ons and with this Yoke, it seems I dont need to buy the extra Flight panels? Or maybe just the Radiofrequency changer.I'm talking about the panels that are available on Logitecs website
The Radio panel is a good option, it's something I use a fair bit.
Hey there I was just wondering how did you get the back sip panel working from the start of the video the back panel many thanks
This video explains it all Mike: ua-cam.com/video/jRN_ikVinbs/v-deo.html
I'm currently looking for a flight yoke to supplement my actual flight training.
The features that have attracted me to this device are the inclusion a trim wheel, and the vernier style ( push pull ) throttle.
From 7:32 - 17:16 you aren't showing the control yoke at all.
You've only moved the trim wheel once for a couple seconds.
Same with the throttle.
For this Turtle beach setup, the primary complaints I've read from reviews is the sticky yoke and or an overly sensitive trim wheel.
Apparently the full travel of this yoke is back one inch.
I still need to see a review of this product.
I've a few videos up reviewing various aspects of the V1F. The yoke axis (particularly in the elevator) were sticky at first, but have since smoothed out with use.
The trim wheel's sensitivities can be altered in both X-plane & MSFS; it is considered widely to be one of the very best trin wheels on the market.
@@Huddison It's cool to see some of these companies finally making a trim wheel available, have you noticed any with a carb heat?
That 747 pops out of no where suddenly blows away the Cessna 🤣
😂
Hello Huddison, nice video - i like it. i noticed the numbers and color in your garmin display looks different to my garmin on a cesna. The colours and the indicators looks clearer and better then mine. Do you have any mods?
Hi, Just the NXI G1000 mod (free from the marketplace).
@@Huddison thank you. I will download this
I have update 1.1.0 and my prop 1 axis does not give me the “reverse” option box for constant speed props, so the levers and/or vernier control move in the wrong direction.
Did this change since you did your setup for single engine advanced?
I am now limited to fixed pitch prop planes?
Please please help.
Love your videos.
TNX 4 your help.
I don't believe anything has changed Ted; join our Discord (linked in description), lots of brains to help you sort this there.
Nice video! Do you know if there are any rudder pedals that work with this setup for Xbox?
Not dedicated rudder pedals as of yet, although you could use the Hotas One/tflight rudder pedals combo.
TB are aiming to release their Rudder Pedals for Xbox/PC soon.
@@Huddison awesome. Thanks for the quick reply!
I've been considering this for a while. But my issue is with those buttons, they look like T16000M quality. I'm used to using a Virpil CM3 Throttle and Constellation Alpha sticks so I suppose I've been a bit spoiled. Like when I upgraded to Beyerdynamic headphones and then used my rubbishy in ear things on the tube. I guess my question is: Is the build quality and performance up to the £350 price tag? or, is there a brand that has build quality to match the likes of Virpil gear?
Interesting question - for similar quality, the Honeycomb yoke and throttle may be your better choice - or even something like the Yoko Yoke (very expensive though).
@@Huddison I had looked at the Honeycomb but it seemed a bit light on features. Hmm, I do like the look of that trim wheel and push/pull controls on the Velocity One. Thank you for sharing your experiences and opinions. You've given me plenty to think about. 👍
@@Duvoncho It's probably the most features loaded system out there.
Is there any kind of lubricant I can put on the yoke stick to make it move smoother? Mine is sort of sticking and difficult to pull and push. That part doesn't seem to be well made. I like the rest of it.
It does ease with use and time, but I remember one or two of our Discord members saying they used lubricant on the shaft.
Keep in mind this warning from TB: support.turtlebeach.com/s/article/VelocityOne-Flight-Yoke-Sticking-In-One-Place?language=en_US#:~:text=NOTE%3A%20Never%20use%20any%20kind,which%20will%20worsen%20performance%20severely.
How did you set up the trim wheel because sometimes when I use it in air like barley touch it the plain wants to do a backflip
It does that, so I just pre-empt and trim up/down quickly to bring it back into line.
It either needs a MSFS or TB Patch.
What rudder pedals are compatible with the turtlebeach velocity one? Are they sold individually?
For PC - any rudders that will work generally with PC.
For the Xbox consoles - your only option is to have the hotas 4 attached & plug the T-flight rudders into that; currently.
@@Huddison thats a different controller than the velocity one . Its more of the fighter jet style. So nothing of a plane style
I'm having trouble with the altitude settings when flying airliners,When I click on the altitude button it just goes up to 99,000 and I can't reverse it...Any advice please?
I don't really fly airliners currently, I'm afraid.
I’ve had mine for 6 weeks or so and the stiffness is still an issue. I’ve been in touch with TB a few times and they tell me to stick with it, but I’ve found I am using it less and less as landing into small airfields (my preference) is really frustrating. Somebody posted elsewhere that the weight of the yoke Itself doesn’t help and I agree with this. If I lift the yoke slightly, minor adjustments are much smoother, but clearly this isn’t a permanent solution.
Not sure where I go next as I’m beyond the return period, but I have read using printer paper on the shaft has helped some people - I found this on TB Discord so plan to give it a go.
Try and use it often and you should find that the stiffness eases. It does need to be altered in production models going forward.
@@Huddison have they offered any update on a production fix for this issue. I’m so tempted to get this as I pretty much only fly the 152 or 172, as that’s what I learned to fly in real life. Also how is the response for subtle movements with the yoke? Is it good? Also what about the analog rudder buttons, do they work well?
Thx 🙏
@@njdnjdnjd A lot of people are reporting no pitch stickiness & the rest of the yoke is very responsive.
When I use the velocity one flight with my controller to use switches and the altimeter it seems to turn them up and not let me use them such as turning the altitude up to 99000, do you know how I can stop this (I play on Xbox)
All I can suggest is that you use a mouse instead of a controller.
Hello i’ve had FS for two weeks now and need help! I’m running it on xbox with the velocity one. I’m a newbie at this! My question is can I run the velo 1 without using the game pad? And if so how do I set it up? Please help!!!!😕
Currently, to navigate in menus etc, you still require either the gamepad or mouse.
Im wondering why we have no FFeedback Yoke / Sticks ? do they have any plans for that ?
FF will likely make an appearance at some point in the near(ish) future.
A new Sip Software update has been released. 06.07.2022 if i am correct, vers. 1.2 (PC).
Yes indeed it's what I'm using in this video.
@@Huddison your Video is five month old.
The new Version is from the 06. July. 2022. Sip connect.
@@trex70 My mistake, I thought you had left a comment on my most recent V1F video: ua-cam.com/video/N7DTHg24obU/v-deo.html
@@Huddison ok thank you
wears in? so when does it stop wearing in? how sloppy will it become with use? sounds like a version 2 is needed if something is "wearing in"... Xbox just needs more controller support for their xbox version.. I have to buy all my controller and pedal stuff again? oh the pain of changing...
Mine's near perfect after 5 months - definitely my preferred flight controller.
Real aircraft do not have a center detent point in the elevator axis as this yoke does.
I tried a friend's Velocity One Yoke a few months after he purchased it and I found the elevator travel was not smooth.
It was great to see that Velocity One included a Cessna style vernier throttle quadrant, but the reduced size compared to the real thing made it feel very toy-like and not at all realistic in its operation to the point that I actually prefer using the little lever throttle found on top of the CH Products Yoke.
While I confess to being one of those people who find buttons and lights to be alluring in some way, in this case the buttons and lights are more of a nuisance and a distraction rather than having much of anything to do with operating an aircraft in a realistic way.
One weird thing about this yoke that I dislike very much is the fact that the shaft does not rotate with the yoke, but instead the yoke merely pivots at the end of the shaft that only goes in and out. From an engineering perspective, this doesn't look like a very structurally sound design as I've already noticed some wobble from the yoke in relation to the shaft after only light use.
The Majority of Flight Yokes within this price range have an element of 'Toy-ness' about them. I'm still more than happy with my own V1F.
@@Huddison I'm happy with the fact that I had the opportunity to try out a friend's yoke before making the purchase, which saved me a nice bit of money and spared me the disappointment.
Would you say there is “lag” using this setup in msfs2020 when flying various aircraft? Particularly pitch and bank?
Neither that I've found; the sim is very responsive to aircraft maneuvers.
@@Huddison Fantastic, thank you, I think this will be my next purchase over the Honeycomb Alpha/Bravo combo.
Can you show us your assigned settings for everything?
Have a quick search through this playlist (you should find a settings video in there): ua-cam.com/play/PLEIvySbqiwXW1APLhY9CpOJHDU6GFDEGD.html
@@Huddison thank you so much! Im getting mine soon
Is it possible to use on the couch as you like to use your Hotas One?
I remember someone commenting that they had a portable table setup for their V1F, so that they could play it on their couch & then put the table away once they were finished.
Can you do a test on PC for this on the Xbox cloud gaming on MSFS I want to know if this will work , my Xbox USB controller works on my PC for cloud gaming but I want to know if this will definitely work on the official Xbox app on PC
Come and ask this in the Discord - a few folks use cloud gaming for MSFS there.
@@Huddison what's the discord link
Can you add pedals controller along to this one on PC ? or how control pedals ?
On PC, you can add pretty any Rudder pedals you wish.
When using this on Xbox, do you need to set any controls on the flight sim or can you get straight ahead to flying?
It should have a default profile setup for you, ready to use out of the box.
Thanks!
I,m thinking about purchasing this but I wonder if it is worth it since I fly VR.
Some of my Discord members use it in VR & say it works well.
if you dont have rudder pedals how do you control the rudder with just the V1 yoke set up here?
The Triggers on the yoke do a mighty fine job as rudder control.
@@Huddison amazing! was really hoping there was rudder control built in to this, as this thing really seems to be an all-in-one type of thing. i was definitely looking to get something that could be as "throw and go" as possible and i think this fits the bill!
do you like the "feel" of the rudder w those triggers? how has it aged? i have heard that the "smoothness" also increases over time, curious to know your thoughts too
They are adaptive Triggers and have always behaved smoothly since day one for me.
The next best thing to owning a pair of actual Rudder Pedals. @@incubrian
@@Huddison thats hugely helpful! really appreciate your info, yeah i may do pedals someday, but currently i need something that can be setup and torn down quickly. i'll def tell TB i bought this because of you!
Very nice controller, and another great informative video, but as you know and mentioned the SIP lights may work for pc users, but not for anyone on Xbox. Also getting 2 defective ones in a row has soured me on it. I’ll probably get another at some point but not until they get the manufacturing issues taken care of.
Also imo it’s not worth getting yet for Xbox owners unless they don’t mind waiting God knows how long until all the advertised features are actually there. While not completely Turtle Beaches fault, the missing features were used at last years e3 as selling points, if in not wrong that was almost 8 months ago, and are still not there for Xbox users, and the features shown for the screen on the yoke don’t work yet for anyone.
No offense meant to you, but it was a 6/10 for me as I said I got 2 in a row with manufacturing defects, the replacement was worse than the first with 2 major issues as opposed to the one issue with the first one.
I see incredible potential here, but for me at least it needs a few more months in the oven as it were.
It sounds like you had terrible luck with your units - these are certainly worth keeping an eye on.
@@Huddison I spoke with James@tbs about this and he graciously offered to have technicians open one up and ensure it’s defect free. I decided to wait a bit and told him I would most likely take him up on that after I get my income tax refund in about a month. I agree, my luck was indeed horrible, and it was a hard decision to wait, as I did love using them.
@@Old_B52H_Gunner James really does a lot to help promote a helpful side to the company.
@@Huddison He really does. We had a disagreement a time or two early on, but it was clear to me he really wanted to help, and that is a big part of the reason I almost assuredly will get another. Keep the awesome videos coming!
Just got my V1F two days ago and I love it. But when it comes to rudder pedals I don’t see anywhere to connect them the the V1F. Am I supposed to plug them straight into my Xbox?
Not yet, but Turtle Beach has some coming out eventually, I’ve seen them, they are currently in testing.
The only way to connect the T-Flight Rudders currently, is via the Hotas One.
Does it have the landing gear indicator for up and down?
Yes this displays correctly on the SIP panel.
The stiff pitch has caused a small amount of play and wobble with my yoke on the shaft. If it gets any worse I’m thinking of returning it.
Bear with the stiffness, it does improve - wobble though; can you elaborate more?
@@Huddison thanks for the reply. There is a couple of degrees movement in all directions with yoke where the shaft goes into the back of the yoke.
Thanks Dave. I've alerted James from Turtle Beach regarding my new video - I believe he's aiming to come in and answer a few queries
I have the 1.1.0 update but my led panel dont is same like your
Did you install Sip Connect also?
Has anyone used this Yoke in Star Citizen?
The SIP panel not working for me on the XBOX is disappointing..

Otherwise, the TB Discord is your next best help.
Looks like a great bit of kit. Shame about the price, nearly the cost of the new consoles itself. You don't get this exposure to expensive enthusiast peripherals on console.
Let's hope for more affordable yoke systems for the Xbox platform, available in the close future.
@@Huddison Or a pay raise! I have a flightstick that has a lot of shortcomings to reach it's lower price, so I can appreciate quality accessories even if they cost a bit.
I am wondering if by pulling with one hand, you are making the issue worse, as it will tend to pull the joke in the oposite direction.
Yes, like with driving, you have better control with both hands on the yoke (or wheel in a car).
And there in lies the problem, two hands and you can't adjust throttle or propeller
It still doesn't work with rudder pedals does it?
Not as yet, although if you own the Hotas One, you could use the T-flight Rudders via that route.
@@Huddison Ahh still not ideal. I plan on switching over to the V1 so i will just return the rudders and i'll be patient for Turtle Beach's option.....have they hinted at them?
@@TheMayorPete Not as yet.
can someone that uses this in PC share the working mapping file... C:\Users\(name)\AppData.... inputprofile_(xxxx...numbers) is a xml file... thanks in advance
My pitch axis is still sticky, even after almost half a year.
That's not good.
So the back lights won’t show on Xbox?
Not until they implement it.
Which flight simulator are you using?
MSFS
@@Huddison I’m an idiot, after I asked the question I saw in the title is was FS2020 😀 how does the yoke go on XPlane?
@@ontheroadaustralia-soleman1911 See my video here (it works well in X-Plane): ua-cam.com/video/_sgakv2w-zE/v-deo.html
Not every day you have a 747 landing on your head pal.
It was a shock for sure ;)
Will it work with WP3DV4
I'm not certain, but it works well with X-plane 11, so there's a high possibility it will.
@@Huddison Thank you very much
Mine still sticks, landing is terrible I've had mine for months, wish I didn't buy it
Get in contact with TB.
now how the hell is it 13/02/2022 if it was 8 months ago and 13 isnt a month
and this was on the discord screen shot
That's the day bud. Majority of the world goes by day/month/year instead of month/day/year. So it would be February 13th 2022.
It’s always cracked me up how particular brits/Englishmen are yet they say basic words wrong. Three they say free. Why do Brit’s not use th and always changer to an F. Instead of together it’s togefer 😂
Im assuming youre not from the uk. its a gang thing, what you dont appreciate is that Huddison was massive when it came to gang culture a few years ago. He basically invented the stockport Massive. in fact it got so big and he became so notorious that a hit was taken out on him and although he survived the Rpg attack
, The resulting facial injury means he has difficulty in pronouncing some words.. such as Gobshite and chippy twat. But other words such as Aluminium, he has no trouble with at all and doesn't completely ignore the last I and tell everyone thats how its supposed to be. Same for the Name Craig. despite his injury is still doesnt come out as KREG !! Go figure eh ? but with your support of his videos he practicing everyday and one day he'll live up to your expectations. or you'll get run over by a milk float beforehand. Either way its a win win and Victoria sponge in the Naafi tonight !!
You'd really love the Irish pronunciation for 'th' - for reference: I love it :)
So let me get this straight. You've come onto this video to highlight someone's speech impediment in saying f in place on th in some words because of what reason? Does it make you make feel better about yourself and make you feel mighty and superior? We live in world where we feel entitled to being a twat and call it "freedom of speech". We are all different and we should embrace it, not mock it - it just makes you look small minded. But hey if that's the look you're going for, you do you. Just remember no-one is perfect, not even you, sorry to burst your bubble.
@@dizzychoonzthis is all true, I used to run with Hudi, as he was called by the coppers, he was the best knee capper we had, sadly after the other gangs tried to off him, he gave up that lifestyle and is now a nun in Kent.
I'm starting to love this mini thread :D@@Old_B52H_Gunner
