Turtle Beach VelocityOne Flight Universal Control System for Xbox Series X|S & Xbox One | Windows 10/11

Update: I feel it shouldn't be legal to manufacture something and claim that it does X, Y and Z when only X and Y work. For example, the warning lights behind the yoke look great, but they're all permanently lit and don't seem to do anything. Chatter around the Internet is that Turtle Beach are yet to get these functions working!! So you've made a product and it doesn't do what you've marketed it as doing?? That's misleading and surely not legal. That, along with the sticky yoke (it's just not smooth moving back and forth and jerks a little, but I hear it's something that fixes itself over time)..........is the only reason I don't like this system. But there are 100 reasons I do it like also..... Original review below...I’ve wanted this for ages. It was released but sold out quick, then it came in stock yesterday so I didn’t hesitate any longer to buy! Glad I got it! Came earlier today. The set up is easy to follow but takes time because you have to find a suitable place for it to go and then you have to connect cables. Then after plugging into Xbox you’ll end up tweaking some of the controls to suit your needs. For example, on the customisable panel on the throttle quadrant you can programme around 10 buttons I think to do what you want. I set to things like flaps up/down, landing gear, auto pilot, switch from external view to cockpit view etc. so the set up took a while.The flying itself takes a little getting used to if like me you’ve just moved away from using the Hotas One joystick. It’s like learning to drive in a Mini and then buying a Porsche. So many buttons to customise and memorise. But it’s awesome and feels very much like a real plane. Makes this whole set up feel less of a “game” and more of a real flying experience.I can’t recommend this enough. It works on PC as well as my xbox series S. no hassles at all setting up or using. The mrs wanted me to wrap it up for myself for Xmas day. She’s mental! it got opened and used right away… and you will too like a kid on Christmas Day! Enjoy

All these kind of games controllers are fairly expensive but in most cases they can transform your gaming experience. I found this to be the case with my Turtle Beach controller. The setup is reassuringly solid and clamps to my desk securely. My desk is 5cm thick and the clamps fits easily with the supplied allen key which is stored in the top of the unit so it would be difficult to lose. It can be installed and removed in seconds. All of the buttons and levers are programmable and there are some excellent videos on YouTube by users explaining pretty much everything. Glad I bought mine.

Not much choice for us xbox users, so this is the best you can get. I'm currently taking lessons in a Cessna so needed a yoke for some similarity and throttle, trim etc. This should help with muscle memory. I have it coupled with my already purchased thrustmaster stick and pedals, just for use of the pedals and it works great. There is that slight stickiness on flare when using single handed but not really when using both hands. But for the price like I say for the xbox it's the best you are going to get. You are not going to get simulator handling unless you pay real simulator prices (thousands in other words). Great to have a trim wheel albeit way too sensitive. So much mapping ability available and software update worked fine for me.A cheap peripheral for anyone actually learning to fly .

The fundamentals of the yoke are fine but there's still knowledge needed to use with MSFS as the relationship between the Turtle Beach documentation and MSFS over button numbers will have you tearing your hair out. The quadrant levers are a little light and care has to be taken when moving one that you don't brush against another as it will move. There's more work involved getting the status lights working (they only function on computer) and using the quadrant lever detents for reversers. Overall a good product for the price but you will have a stiff learning curve if you are not already well versed in setting up MSFS.

Looked good initially.Plugged it into the PC.The screen on the yoke displayed ‘update mode’Looked it up online.Downloaded the Control Console App.Pressed the Recover button.Recover percentage stayed at 0%.The Amazon return option implies that one should go to the manufacturer for help. This is misleading, to say the least.In the UK, if a purchased item is faulty on arrival, or develops a fault within the first SIX MONTHS, then it is legally the RETAILER’S responsibility to put it right, not the manufacturer. I did try the Turtle Beach customer service option. but it’s even more convoluted than that of Amazon.Also worth bearing in mind that Amazon doesn’t collect heavy items for return. I have to trot on down to the Post Office to send it back, and it’s quite heavy and bulky in its box. I told Amazon that I’m disabled and its response was to arrange my own collection and return delivery and then they would ‘help me out’. Poor quality service and not the first time I’ve received electronics from Amazon that were not 100% perfect condition.I have reordered the thing again. so let’s see what happens with the replacement.

Don't hesitate to buy this product. If you are using a simulator for X consoles this is the best choice.For the money it's a really good flight yoke. I recommend it.

great bit if kit, takes a little while to programme the buttons but very versatile when done
