Flight Simulation

A basic setup for any serious flyer should include a yoke or joystick, throttle quadrant, and rudder pedals, all categorized under flight sim hardware. For immersion, displays or VR can be added, and some pilots prefer full flight simulator rigs with mounted controls. Software compatibility and mount adjustability also play a key role in selecting the right flight simulator gear for home use.

• Plug the flight simulator equipment into an available USB port on your PC or console.
• Wait for the device to be automatically recognised or install any driver provided by the manufacturer.
• Launch your simulation software and go to settings > controls to map axes and buttons.
• For consoles, make sure the product is explicitly marked as console-compatible before connecting.

Start with reliable flight sim gear that’s plug-and-play with basic simulators. A good yoke or joystick, plus throttle control, will cover most general aviation aircraft. As you progress, modular expandability becomes important. Look for flight sim hardware that supports rudder pedals, additional panels, or trim wheels.

The Turtle Beach VelocityOne Flight offers a full-flight setup with a 180° yoke, built-in rudder, and a modular throttle quadrant with a trim wheel for precise, realistic control. It includes a Flight Management Display for quick configuration, and a Status Indicator Panel for real-time alerts on supported sims. You also get 12 axes, customisable lever handles, and a secure desk clamp, ready to plug and play via USB on Xbox Series X|S or Windows 10/11 PCs.

The VelocityOne Rudder stands out with non-contact hall-effect sensors on all axes, giving smoother, more precise input and longer life than standard pedals. It features adjustable pedal width, swappable springs, and differential brakes for realistic control across aircraft types. With stable mounting options and Xbox compatibility via pass-through, it's built for flexibility and pro-level realism on both Windows 10/11 PCs and Xbox Series X|S.

Turtle Beach flight simulator equipment, like the VelocityOne Flight and Rudder, is compatible with Microsoft Flight Simulator on Xbox and PC. They connect via USB and support basic and advanced flight controls depending on the title. For X-Plane or Prepar3D on PC, manual configuration may be required. Always check the software’s control mapping section after connecting your gear.
