VelocityOne Flight Stick: Dream for the Casual Flight Simmer?

- This is my review of the Turtle Beach VelocityOne Flight Stick I go through the VelocityOne features, build quality, and who it's most suited for, and with the likes of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 just around the corner. Is this a great entry into the world of flight simulation?
The Turtle Beach VelocityOne Stick is compatible with quite a few flight sims and flying games like MSFS, DCS, Ace Combat, X-Plane, War Thunder & more. This review centers around MSFS but was also tested in Warthunder and X-Plane.

This review was perfect. Ordered it based on your thoughts. Seems to be right up my alley.
Glad it was helpful
this review is amazing thank you
Thank you. Glad it helped.
As a VR user, I wish it had a larger track pad instead of the display on it. I'd be making any stick-specific adjustments in its software before starting up the sim in VR, and I'd get a TON of use out of an integrated trackpad in sim. Blindly grabbing for my mouse is one of two gripes I have with my current setup.
I can appreciate that. Thanks for sharing.
Epic stick, looks better than my warthog. Nice to see you flying left handed as most civil aircraft are intended to be flown. 👍✅
Not the same build quality as the warthog but it’s a great entry level stick
The spring modification is an absolute must. So much more minor precision at center, and it doesnt pull the base around (as much).
I cut mine literally in half. Put the flat end facing up and the bare point facing down toward the plate. Still holds dead center, but its so incredibly easy to make minor inputs. If you dont like snipping a spring, you could just buy a shorter, or softer spring of equivalent diameter.
Thanks for sharing. Great advice/input for anyone that owns one of these.
I would highly recommend this for flying any GA style aircraft which natively would use a stick. The central detent from my actual flying experience feels good as most of the time you are only moving the stick a few degrees in each direction. Works well for gliders too. This would be a brilliant option as a first flight controller as it covers everything.
A joystick mount is a must to use the stick but other than that, it's very good.
Thanks for the insight and for sharing. Always great for people to see opinions from others.

I think this review is more geared towards those just getting in to simulation. At this stage people can be put off by the vast array of flight sim products and the expense. This review highlights that all you need to start is a stick like this.
Good vid ❤
Appreciate it
I just got into flight simulation a few days ago (I’m a little late to the party) and this seems like a great beginner stock for me to get comfortable on MSFS in preparation to going over to DCS. Great review
Thanks. DCS is great fun but also have a look at IL2. Great for warbirds.
IL2? I’ll look into now
personally id recommend the VKB gladiator for this price range
How long have you had the VKB?
Yep, went from a T16000 to VKB Gladiator to VKB Gunfighter (using the grip from the Glad), no regrets. The Glad was absurdly good value, but it was also cheaper than the later EVO revision.
i think the biggest thing for me would be it would be hard to use left and right handed@@MoleUK1
@@g-locmedia To swap between left/right? Yea. You can get it in the left or right variety though, not sure how much buying a left/right grip to swap in is. Not a bad idea to have two for HOSAS either.
@@MoleUK1 yea. Hey, thanks for the insight in the VKB. Always great to hear different opinions
Will be interesting to contrast this low cost stick with the new $400 HOTAS setup coming out next month
Yes it certainly would be. I’m hoping to get my hands on a review unit.
The links in the description kept sending me to amazon's home page but not the product
Thanks for letting me know. I’ll have a look at that. Where are you based?

I've heard the centering mechanism is bad. It is exactly opposite of the high-tier stick like Virpil. The linearity is upside-down. Common stick has increasing centering force with increasing deflection and with very low centering force at detent. Turtle Beach has very strong detent and the with increasing deflection the force is reducing.
I found that its not really supported by warthunder on pc is it?
It doest auto configure like MSFS but you can easily configure it on your own and it works well.
Does it gave a 3.5mm port for headsets?
Yea you can put a headset in
Have you seen the new turtle beach flight deck?
I saw an image of it. Looks quite interesting
This stick has 2 big problems. One is the stiffness, which can be fixed (as others said). The other one is the very small movement angle of the stick. And that can't be fixed. Compared to my old Thrustmaster stick, the Velocity One has almost half the movement. This just feels bad if you are used to a good flight stick with a proper movement angle. It simply can't have the same precision if you need only half the stick movement for the same movement in the sim. I tried the Velocity One stick and returned it immediately. It has very nice features, but unfortunately that's all worthless if the stick fails completely in the most important points: Comfort/ feeling and precision. In my opinion a complete misconstruction.
What was the Thrustmaster stick you had?
@@g-locmedia It's the T.16000M, still using it.
Xbox simmers don’t have much choice !! Nobody is giving us the controller choices pc users get. If we got better choices some of us would be more than just casual !
Unfortunately I don't see this changing much. I see X-BOX as a gateway for some simmers that will eventually move to PC for a deeper experience as the sheer volume of peripherals available for PC is astounding. A lot of this is because of x-box licensing issues.
As a dcs player I would never recommend this or there future flight deck model… the screens take up too much space it’s not got enough buttons or switches and a STECS and gladiator would be much better
A bit more on expensive side those two together. Thanks for sharing though. Always great for people to see other opinions
I use it with DCS, IL2 BOS and CLoD and MSFS I don't have any problems with it. But I do most prop planes so...
