The setup of the Velocity One is very nice. it has everything, throttles, flaps, trim wheel.. all kinds of programable buttons and a fantastic way to clamp to the desk.. BUT,, when it comes to landing a plane,, using one hand on the throttle and one on the yoke,, it can NOT be done smoothly,, a very basic thing yet without it makes everything else pointless. The elevator control, the pushing and pulling of the yoke cannot be done smoothly. As pretty much ALL reviews say, it's 'sticky'. instead of a smooth flare on landing it becomes and up and down yoyo motion. I read it would smooth out over time.. I didn't see any change in two weeks and hundreds of landings. I wound up returning the unit to Best Buy. I REALLY wish it would have smoothed out as there are many other good things, but if you can't land smoothly none of them matter. (There is a guy on Etsy selling a 3D printed bearing that may help) Would have gladly gave it more stars but not with the issue mentioned.

The flight control system operates well. The only reason I give it four stars. Is due to the amount of space it consumes and is difficult to store.

It is an amazing product for the money, however mine came with a slight issue where one of the pov switches was mapped as down when moved up. I recalibrated it a couple of times then shortly after called bestbuy. They told me i could bring it in, give it to them and they would reorder it. it costed me no more and im greatful that they did that.

Turtle Beach - VelocityOne Flight Universal Control System for Flight Simulation on Xbox is easy to install on almost all kinds of cockpit. If you are using a mouse, I'd suggest you mount the mousepad on the left side because the throttle can only be mounted on the right side. BTW, the listed feature "Rumble Vibration - Yes" could be wrong as it never vibrates.

Love the set up by turtle beach. Makes flight sim 2020 a million times better. Great that it works with windows as well. Sucks that the price went up $30 for original but what can we do?

It's a bit sticky at first but after a week or two of using it it's smooth as butter. All the buttons are pre-mapped for MSFS and it's basically plug and play. I'd recommend this for flight simmers.

Unfortunately the product is plagued with the highly common sticky shaft defect. When you are paying $400 for something, you expect at least some decent quality. Which you do not get from this. For some reason they decided to use nylon bushings for the aileron and elevator axis shafts. Turtle Beach states that they "break in" over time which is not the case. It is just a plain bad design. The bridge from the main shaft to the "spring shaft" is plastic and both shafts ride on nylon bushings. The tension springs, which are decent, create to much pressure to the plastic bridge causing a binding issue when moving forward and aft. That mixed with crap bushings causes problems. If the bridge was aluminum and had ball bearings, this would be an excellent product. The quadrant is great, the yoke displays are great, and is plug and play. Unfortunately, the sticky shaft is enough to make this product very disappointing. Should of spent the extra money and got the Honeycomb flight yoke system.
