19:20 My Thoughts
I am a real world Airbus pilot with thousands of hours flying the real aircraft and thought it would be fun to have a look at the new detailed simulation of the longest baby 'bus by Toliss as well as the new MSFS a320 NEO. Hopefully you find this useful and it brings another perspective to your simulation. Any thoughts or comments are welcome!

Just purchased this for Xbox Series X. I was expecting to work in the yoke for a few months as many reviewers explained. Nope, it's buttery smooth right out of the box. Absolutely zero stickynesss etc. Nice video, thank you.
That’s great would you recommend it?
Fantastic review. I'm hooked!! Just purchased the Xbox Xseries today April 30th 2022, solely because Microsoft Flight Sim has been brought out on Xbox. Microsoft really has come leaps and bounds with this sim. Actually blown away with what they have achieved on their console. It's going to take me all my brain power to learn most or all of the techniques to fly, and thank you for an absolutely fantastic review. You have done Turtle Beach justice. Out come the savings. I'm going to enjoy!
Thank you for the very watchable video. I just got this yoke and you cleared the air on a couple of questions I had.
I'm almost apeechless, I can't belive how well Turtle Beach have pulled this one off! Amazing review :)
Thanks very much D H!
Interesting that you say that because it seems absolutely dog S###. I can't believe its on the market when you can buy the honeycomb setup
@@bencalhoun8216 Fair point, and I agree. If you have PC and your very much into flight sim like me, the Honeycomb is the way to go. Especially for the price. However, If you use MSFS 2020 on XBox or if you want something with more functions and less seriosu, I think this setup is pretty good.
@@DHSimulations Exactly
@@DHSimulations your going to get a lot of casual users on the Xbox platform and many of those will not invest in this system, however for those that want the convenience of the Xbox without the investment required for a high end PC the offering is disappointing. As an Xbox user the yoke looks ok, I’ve seen reviews of people complaining about shaft friction/ binding, however the elephant in the room is the poorly executed throttle levers. There are already customers modifying the levers by adding adhesive rubber or draft seal to increase friction. I’m a retired engineering project manager, I’m astounded this was released, poor fundamental design, consumer testing, quality assurance and feedback groups.
I just bought this for myself and I got the Velocity One Rudder Pedals. I have no complaints yet.
It's so great listening to an actual working pilot and their real world settings? Please give us more? Maybe as you find tune the controls and switches? Much thanks!
A great looking product offering some great functionality, so well done to TB and a very informative vid.
Brilliant review, thank you. Your review has informed me enough, to the point that I am now going to purchase one!
I have seen some reviews, however, that there seems to be a small "dead zone" on each side of the movement, on the aileron axis?
I used to fly a Slingsby T67 (G-BLTW), Liverpool airport, many years ago, mostlty just GA traffic at that time, (no EASY JET etc).
Apparently, from other reviews, the first few small movements on the roll axis, on this product, nothing happens?
It maybe very small but I remember so vividly, that these SMALL movements makes so much difference, especially when landing, and in a cross wind or buffet?
The Slingsby was very reponsive indeed in this respect.
The Slingsby Firefly was pretty much a "Stick and Rudder" aeroplane and I was just hoping to try and replicate this somehow in my old age!
Thanks for taking the time and effort making a great review of this product - just about to buy one!

I’m new to flight sim and use the Xbox series S, I went from just using the controller to using a Hotas One to buying the VelocityOne and wow it has made my flying and landings especially so much smoother. I am so impressed with the whole set-up and yes can’t wait for the displays to work fully for the extra immersion.
Just started watching you tutorials on AP approaches on the Airbus so learning and using the Velocity is making the experience feel more realistic, but not quite sure if I’m ready for some VR yet 🤣.
Keep up the great work on the videos. 👍
Thanks for watching and good luck with your flight sim adventures!
I did the exact same thing for Series X. While I liked the Hotas, the Velocity One is way easier to control the plane etc. Enjoy the Series S!
@@xburk550 I have the hotas now more than a year and I want to buy something different, do you recommend the velocity or should I buy something else for the series x?
I’m looking forward to get mine next week. I already know which plane I will fly in MS flight sim and the quadrant throttle was also the reason I ordered it, because the plane I’m going to fly got four throttles. Though no flaps. 👍🏽😎
Thank you for this great video, I’ve just bought one of these and this has been very helpful
I’ve also got the thrustmaster airbus controls which I’m keeping hold of for now to use with the airbus for some realism
This seems like a good yoke, probably much better than the saitek but I think I'm going to pre-order the TCA Yoke since I fly more commercial planes like the 737 and 787, but great review anyway
Triggers are good for single brake axis! I use pedals without toe brake and that would work out well. Alas, I don't see myself moving away from the CH Yoke with X55 throttle setup I have now.
Well reviewed , Thank you.
Really good to see more and more good peripherals coming out for flight siming.
It’s a real change compared to a few years ago, I’m very happy to see it too. Especially when we get some creative ideas!
@@320SimPilot Yeah, lots of choices now. I personally hope to get the Thrustmaster Boeing Yoke with the Honeycomb Bravo Quadrant for planes like the PMDG 737 and other air liners with yokes next year, when the Boeing yoke is released separately.
@@TheGerudan You should probably go with the honeycomb. The TCA Boeing has a very plasticky, toy-like feel.
@@smasheduptoaster9186 But it is an actual column yoke.
@@TheGerudan Yes!! That’s exactly what I’m planning to do, though I must admit, 500 is a lot for a yoke and throttle considering the throttle forces you to choose between the flaps or spoilers. But, in comparison to the fulcrum, it’s a great deal. The fulcrum with no throttle, I may add, is around 497 dollars. That alone is also a deal, but considering the thrust master has fees on the licensing and other stuff, it’s a great deal. If you want the honeycomb instead I suggest maybe reselling the throttle for 5 dollars cheaper 😂
Hey, this is a great video thank you for making this! I also bought this velocity yoke but I'm completely new to this type of hardware, I've always played FSX with a controller. Please could you make a follow-up video focusing on the quadrant, specifically which attachments to use and for what, mine came with different coloured ones and different shapes. Secondly, please talk more about the buttons on the quadrant, which ones you leave as default and which ones you are customising. Thank you again!
I like the sun coming through the windows reflecting on the panel. I don’t recall my Xbox Series X having that level of fidelity. Could be wrong.
Thank you for a great video!
really helped me deciding what to buy between this and the alpha, bravo. since budget isn't a limit for me, i went with the alpha and bravo with some pedals from thrustmaster, and i've been really happy with them
Hi 👋 thanks 👍🏻 for sharing this content I've just received mine yesterday but have yet to try this out but all I can say is I'm very pleased with my purchase seen some really good positive feedback. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Take care & stay safe. 🛫 ✈🛬
You’re very welcome, thanks for watching!
That little notch when you put the throttle to like -10 should be reverse thrust it might just be the way we have the sims set in my aviation class
The detent on the throttle quadrant is a button to b used for reverse thrust.
Great video cheers.
As a half price alternative to the Honeycombo I've been keeping my eye on this. I think this would be a great GA addition to my Jet HOTAS.
I have both the Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo. I wouldn't trade them for this. It does a lot that this doesn't do.
@@ImpendingJoker such as? .. cause they both look like yokes and throttles with a bunch of customizable buttons to me.
The Honeycombo would have to suck me off under the desk as an extra feature to justify $400 dollars.
@@ImpendingJoker honeycomb is targeted towards actual pilots, hardcore flight simmers and simulators but this one is great for anyone looking to get into Flight Simulation or if you have a Xbox
I just returned mine back to amazon due to the yoke sticking and not being enjoyable.
THX for the presentation. Your opinion between the Turtle beach vs Honeycomb
Wouldn't surprise me if someone has 3D printed a flap lever or modified a honeycomb flap lever. Having a way to increase the friction of the throttle though would be nice though. But compared to the honeycomb it's great value for money for new to intermediate flight simmers. I'm still going to get the honeycomb as I use flight Sim as a training tool between lessons but for the casual flight simmer or people who just want a yoke it's amazing
looks great great review sir
Thanks Dg!
you flying yet sir hope your all good
Excited to pair this with my Quest2 for some VR epicness :D
Should be great fun, enjoy!
Hi, love your videos and have subscribed. If you had to select between the Honeycomb or Turtlebeach, do you have a preference?
perfect video
Shame they don’t sell just the throttle quadrant and trim wheel.
So excited to get mine next week! Thinking of getting rudder pedals next.
Rudder pedals will be a great addition and I highly recommend having some!
@@320SimPilot ordering some this week!
@@HockeytownGuru which ones are you getting? i was planning on getting honeycomb's charlie pedals but i haven't heard anything about it for a while.
Might wait, to make good choice. The rudder buttons on the V1 are pretty good IMHO
Looks nice but should be able to do better if the throttle design include reverse thrust.
Got my Thrustmaster Boeing yoke and throttles coming soon instead!
That should be good fun! Thanks for watching
Considering this on Xbox as a pretty casual MSFS player. I mostly play racing sims, so this would easily clamp to my wheel deck, and the integrated rudder buttons would be perfect because I wouldn't want to keep swapping my pedals out for rudders back and forth. How would this compare to the TM TCA bundle?
I got one to see if an all in one unit would be able to replace my Honeycomb Alpha/Bravo however i'm not a fan of the Turtle Beach so far. Going to keep it a little while longer and give it more of a chance though.
Thanks for watching and for your perspective!
i dont see the reason to replace the AlphaBravo with a Velocity one except for space reasons.
Turtle Beach better get a move on and make a VelocityTwoFlight, with improved quality and added switches behind the yoke.
This form factor is amazing to me, Honeycomb Alpha Bravo is great but way to big and cumbersome for me.
I will say going from a t flight Hotas to a proper yoke made controlling my planes so much easier
Thanks for your very informative review on this yoke. I was going to buy one, but the lack of tension in those levers has put me right off. I currently use the Hotas One stick, and the throttle on that is also very loose which causes lots of problems during flight. So when I saw those crap levers on this £350+ yoke I thought thanks, but no thanks!
Thanks for watching and your comment, glad the video was helpful! I previously had the same HOTAS as you but the PS4 version and I found the same issue. On this Velocity One they are not AS loose and are not so top heavy so when used normally they don’t move around on their own at least!
I'm going to try a thin strip of velvet down the inside of each slot, to see if the gap can act as a resistance.
I want one!
Hi idk if you’ll see this but what’s your opinion on the yoke 3 months later?
It's equally good for X-plane 11 and 12 on Windows PC
I wonder how well a twin-engine complex plane could be managed with this system. Typically need 6 levers for them.
Thanks for watching Michael! Interesting idea, I’ll have to experiment. Possibly throttle and Props on the top, Mixture below?
The Honeycomb Bravo comes with enough levers for single GA, twin GA, twin jet, tri jet, and quad jet. The issue is finding one close to the actual retail price. I was able to get one back in October and do not regret it at all.
@@ImpendingJoker Yeah, I know the Bravo does all that, if I could justify spending over $1000 NZD I would just but it and the Alpha, I was just wondering how it could work with this system.
I had to watch this with the volume muted as the wife’s still sleeping next to me so I don’t know what you said lol! The main takeaways seem to be, floppy throttles and it’s very blingy right?
Hi, im on the xbox, and since i had problems with the controller to change the buttons and switches in the cockpit i bought the same set you are using. The wireless keyboard and mouse. So much easyer! So thanks for the tip! Only one problem, whatever i try, i cant get the left mousebutton to work. When im on a switch it shows that i need to press the left mouse button. But nothing works. I have been searching in the menu, but i dont know what settings i need to change. Could you please help me out?
Can you actuate the thrust reversers with the throttles.
I heard that Turtle Beach as developed a new Firmware version. Did I hear correctly?
Would you recommend this over a Honeycomb Alpha Bravo combo?
My velocity one quadrant doesn't appear in the sensitivity option? The switches and axis are configurable, but doesn't have a separate option area? Weird?
Pre-ordered mine and Hermes have managed to "lose" it , what a surprise !! Turtle Beach customer service so far has been pretty poor in chasing my order ! Thanks for the review 320 Sim Pilot.
Hermes are useless.
Turtle Beach sucks in terms of customer service. I bought their, what started out as very good rechargeable wireless surround sound headset, and I say started out because after about a year of use the rechargeable battery inside holds less and less of a charge till I couldn't even use them anymore. "What's that you say? Why didn't I buy a new battery for it? Because Turtle Beach soldered the batter into the headset, so it wasn't removeable and they didn't sell the parts for people that have the know how, could fix them themselves. Their answer to the outcry from all the people that bought them?: "We are sorry but you have to buy a whole new headset." This was the X800s, and they were $300USD. After the hell they caught over them they dropped the price to $150, then just stopped selling them altogether pretty much sticking up a middle finger to everyone that shelled out a lot of money for their products. I'll never buy from Turtle Beach ever again.
Thank you this is a product I am interested in., unfortunately the local website for TB does not include this product yet, I understand supply is also an issue right now. As I mostly fly Airbus and GA aircraft I think this product could be a great addition to my TCAS Airbus setup for when I am flying GA or dare I say Boeing here. Did you try to map one of the thrust levers to the flaps yet? I saw a button lit up for flaps so is that the way that are flaps are deployed in the default set ups?
Hi Richard, I have the far right throttle assigned to flaps when operating a two engine or single engine aircraft! I hope in the future to be able to use a flap lever style handle here
the thing i don't understand about this yoke, is why the throttle quads leavers are so stiff to take off..
How does the Honeycomb and TCA Yoke Boeing Edition compare to this?
Got mine yesterday, the throttle quadrant is annoying as like you said the buttons are obstructed by the levers. Be interested to see your setup with it for use with the 320 👌
Thanks for watching! So far I have found leaving the top levers fully forward is the best way to avoid this, as long as they aren’t moved they don’t seem to interfere which is great.
@@320SimPilot I’m using the middle 2 as the throttle on the 320 though 🤦♂️
Ah of course! I’ll have an experiment and see what works for me. So far I’ve mainly been using it to re live my Cessna days!!
The yoke sucks
Poggggg ❤️
You say that it is for the for Microsoft Flight Simulator, but can you play other sims on it like x-plane 11?
Hi, what rudder pedals are you using?
Hi, great review. Do the lighted indicators behind the yoke do anything?
Thanks Justin! For now they do not, but it is a planned feature. We shall see how it turns out in the future!
Thx! I was lucky enough to get one and I'm just getting acquainted with it.
ive wanted one of these since it was first announced :D thanks for the review! how far back does it go? just thinking of desk space. do you know the approx measurement
Hi James thanks for watching! The measurements are available on the turtle beach website, support section for the Velocity One!
@@320SimPilot awesome i shall have a look
How did you hook up the rudder peddles
Why roll doesn't line up with the game? I saw Honeycomb Yoke review and it was perfectly lined up, what's the problem with this one? Is there a way to fix this?
I like to fly with the C-17. It had 4 engines. Will this work?
I like LCD but not sure on the overall setup compared to Honeycomb, which is the same price range. Honeycomb seems to be much more solidly built especially in the clamping to the desk space and general heftiness as well as overall flexibility of setup. The big part of course is internal electronics. My Honeycomb bravo is dead after less than 6 months with dead button contact and bad potentiometer on the axis. Pandemic is not helping with quality unfotrunately. I am surprised that wing wing and virpil haven't jumped on the bandwagon and came out with their yoke and throttle setup.
did you get a replacement? honeycomb has good customer service
@@smasheduptoaster9186 Not yet it's closing on two months now. CS is hard to hunt down. Takes weeks between responses and phones are not answered really. They finally placed a warranty replacement order for me on 16th and I haven't gotten a shipment update since.
in the box, it says that this yoke can be used for A320? for real? 😃😃
I have had my Velocity one for a couple of days and would be interested in your impression of the smoothness of the yoke in pitch axis? If you think it's good try doing a typical climbing turn in the Cessna.
Can you expand on this please
@@get_outdoors on my velocity One the pitch axis of the yole exhibits "sticky spots along its travel making fine adjustments impossible. This seems more noticable when doing a climbing turn, or steep turn where you are banking aand pulling back to maintain attitude. As another RW pilot I though you might have noticed it perhaps more than just simmers, of course it could just be my unit that's faulty. A few, but not many, other reviewers have mentioned it.
Hi, thanks for watching! So far I have had no issue with the pitch axis, I will keep you all updated if I do! Turtle beach have said the axis may need to wear in a bit from new.
@@320SimPilot that's the answer I received from Turtle beach. My concern is how long can we wait for it to "wear in" before they refuse a RMA if it doesn't wear in.
@@flyhalf2 there are now a number of reviews on YT identifying the issue you have raised
Whaaaaaa...... since when did Turtle Beach do input Devices for flight sims? its the fisrt time ive ever heard of it.
Hi, do you know if l can add any pedals to this set and play on the xbox sx?
Is there auto throttle auto pilot release parking brake gear or flaps
I have no intention of buying this. But I watched the whole video. Why? Because 320 Sim Pilot. Simples 😀
Thanks as ever Haden!
Does the controls have a feedback loop?
Can you change the settings based on the aircraft youre using?? I.e. top throttle on airliners and cessna throttle on cessnas??
It has profiles for customizing settings
Hi great video. Do you know how to avctivate reverse thrust?
I believe for now you have to assign it to a button, Turtle Beach have said they need an update from MSFS before they can add it to the levers
@@320SimPilot thanks for the information
@@320SimPilot Thank you for a great introduction of this yoke model. I am looking for a most appropriate model to replace old Saitek one. Regarding the reverse thrust, look like that Honeycomb can do without requiring any MSFS update, to be confirmed ?
Will it work with X-Plane 11?
What are the specs of your computer? Thanks
anyone know if there’s a way i can lube this yoke up without breaking it. it’s so sticky when i push in or pull out doesn’t feel smooth
Reason i sent it back to amazon, looks good but flying with it sucks.
So this quadrant will work in more than just a twin engine correct? Like and a380 or 747?
Yea I've set it up similar to a 2 engine jet but have engine 1/2 on 2 and 3/4 on 3. With lever 1 being speed brake and lever 4 flaps.
What are you using for Rudder Pedals?
I use the Logitech pedals!
@@320SimPilot Thank you. Great Video
Do we have any explanation of what the actual issue is with the annunciators? Please let it be B-events not being exposed....Please let it be B-events not being exposed....Please let it be B-events not being exposed....
If it is the B-Events then MS/Asobo HAS to fix it, which will make the rest of the cockpit building community IMMENSLY happy, as the B-Event system broke a bunch of existing controller setups for may airplanes
Hi Schwigg, thanks for watching! I am not sure what the actual issue is, turtle beach do have a discord that may be worth asking that question on!
@@320SimPilot No problem Cap, my pleasure. I'll go do some looking around about it. I don't know if you use Spad or Axis and Ohs for any of your gear, but this issue has been wreaking havoc on those who do since SU5. Big sad.
If I find it's the same issue, any chance you could ask the pax to vote up a forum topic and hopefully get some of Asobo's eyes on it?
Also, hope you're doing well and enjoying working again. I'm assuming this week is travel hell in Europe as well
Xbox controller works great

i’m having problems with mine 😔 during my flights my plane randomly does sharp right turns even though i’m holding the yoke straight. also some of the buttons just don’t work light parking brake, flaps, landing gear
Sorry to hear that. For me I had to select the correct profile in the yoke as well as in MSFS itself, on BOTH the yoke and quadrant in the controls menu. Hope that helps!
Hello, sir. Very nice one :). You should also try the Thrustmaster Yoke. It has a realistic feeling, compared to the side stick
Edit: I am still watching the review. Sorry for being ignorant, sir.
Thanks for watching! Perhaps I will try it out one day!
@@320SimPilot, :D
I hate to break it to you but those are not Vernier controls. Verniers have a spiral grove inside them, so that when you twist or turn the knob with the button UNPRESSED you can make very fine adjustments to controls. Pressing the button in the middle causes the two legs inside that engage the spiral groove to retract so you can make larger adjustments, the release to tune it to where you want it, and then lock the control in place. SInce these do not have the spiral grooved tube, AND does not have the button on the end they are not Vernier, they are simply, push pull TPM. So, either they are straight up lying, or they have no idea what the word Vernier means.
Thanks for the info! Learn something new every day. Either way I am a big fan of this style for GA aircraft!
@@320SimPilot You're welcome. The only reason that I brought it up was because I would have LOVED for them to be Vernier controls. I have the Honeycomb Bravo and would have bought this ~just to get the Vernier TPM. I am glad I watched this video and didn't just read the description of it on their website, I would have been very upset.
Gotta say, as a professional pilot for over 15 years, sim flying just doesn't replicate the real thing as well as I want it to... I have these controls but everything is complicated and kinda glitchy. I think I've just lost to love of sim flying after doing it for real so long
It’s been working well as a learning aid for IFR and checklist practice while working on my Instrument. Saves me plenty of money too.. controls probably worth about 1.5 hrs of air time lol
Those levers look absolutely terrible, cannot believe they didn’t add more resistance or the ability to adjust friction. Just cancelled my order, thanks for the video information.
The thrust levers and the roll of the yoke are major weak points. Way overpirced for the quality it offers
Thanks for watching, I’m glad the video was helpful! I aim to show as much as possible to help you with your decisions
@@320SimPilot thank you for providing such an informative video and an unbiased view of the product.
I have the unit n it works great.
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.
Your expectation is pretty low for a $400 yoke, I own one and it feels like a toy rather than a simulator accessory
سلاممممم
This is a big nope, too many flaws.
such as?
@@neiltristanyabut i dont remember why i didnt like this throttle, I only remember that for example the levers when in specific positions impede to reach some buttons.
Over $300 for this toy is absurd.
You're too polite. The movement on those throttle levers is shit.
Cheap and nasty
Cheap?!? Nasty?!?
I like the sun coming through the windows reflecting on the panel. I don’t recall my Xbox Series X having that level of fidelity. Could be wrong.
