FS2020: Velocity One Rudder Pedals: 5-6 Months Later Review, Thoughts & Findings! 

My wife surprised me on Monday with these rudder pedals and they are absolutely amazing.

I would love to see some sort of force-feedback pedals. In real life (at least in a GA aircraft) the effort is extremely light to move the rudder while on the ground or at low speeds, but as speed increases and in flight, they are much more stiff to move.

Got em coming in today! Good review

Had mine for 6 months - no issues!

Totally agree with your findings, great quality and enhance immersion significantly. Moreover, I have both V1 Flight Stick as well as the yoke. I use the former for helicopters and although it does have a twist action available for rudder control, I find this very difficult to use in helos when in the hover for any significant length of time. Not only is the spring on the twist axis quite strong (so fatiguing for my old wrists), but it is almost impossible to eliminate 'crosstalk' between the yaw, pitch and roll axes. So for me, the rudder pedals are essential . I suffered somewhat from the connection inconsistencies when I was using XBOX X (which improved when I connected direct to the PC rather than a USB hub) but on the PC they have been rock steady.

I use the V1 flight yoke an the Thrustmaster TPR Pendular Rudder paddle. Use them on Mfs an Xplane 12. Very happy wit that combination. The build quality of the trustmaster is awesome. Expensive but worth the money.

great video...thanks

Since Honeycomb is receiving alot of bad reviews online in terms of customer service and non-delivery, I'm considering the VO rudder pedals. Great review!

I got these a few weeks ago along with the V1 Yoke and stand. These pedals are great! I was using the the Thrustmaster T. Flight pedals along with the Hotas before as they where my only option on Xbox when MSFS first came out. Upgrading to the V1 yoke and pedals was game changing for me. The pedals seem to be made very well, with heavy duty Plastics and steel! The Thrustmaster pedals got the job done but they never quite felt right. The V1 pedals are so smooth and I love how they come with 2 different spring sets to adjust the tension. Mine came with the black ones installed which are the firmer ones. I haven't even tried the silver ones as the black ones felt good to me. I should try the silver ones though just to see the difference. I also love the different pedal options, I've been using the GA configuration and really like that! Like others if there was one thing I would change is the resistance in the toe breaks. I would like a little bit more resistance but that's just nit picking. They just seem like a solid product that will hopefully last for years to come!

Only had mine a few weeks but I'm very pleased with them. If I had to nit-pick I'd prefer the toe brakes to have a little more resistance. Perhaps they could be modded with stiffer springs.

Thank you

Recently got back into VR and, with DCS being so overwhelmingly complicated (wish it wasn't, but it makes you feel like you need an engineering degree, just to close the canopy and do pre-flight stuff), 'VTOL VR' is currently the only military flight sim which offers accessibility with realistic options. Never used rudder pedals before (and I come from the days of Microprose's 'Gunship', which brought a nostalgic smile to my face to the box of, in your introduction), but VV's non-HOTAS set-up makes the rudder control... Tricky. It does, however, allow for rudder pedals. Watching your videos on Turtle Beach's offering have definitely made me think they might be an ideal solution for that. And their flight stick combining mouse funcitons on it feels like an obvious new standard for VR stuff. It's really intriguing to see how the technology has now arrived where simulator game controllers now use things like magnetic fields to avoid any internal friction wear and tear.

My 15 year old saitek pedals broke on Sunday, I purchased the turtlebeach velocity one rudder pedals to replace them. Apart from the ease of adjusting the width, the swappable spring tension and pedals from GA to airliner, they are blessed with hall sensors, so you won't get the crappy noise you get from potentiometers, I believe even the more expensive honeycomb pedals aren't hall sensors.

i love the rudder pedals

I have the VelocityOne for my PC. As you know, it has rudder controls on the handles so this means I don't need the rudder pedals? If so, I can use the rudder controls on my handles for braking?

The only real issue I have with mine is that it is a dust magnet. I have to constantly clean it. I never had that issue with my old pedals. I dummo if it is a property of the metal or because it is black. Still, I'm loving mine.

I'd really love to buy these to replace my Thrustmasters, which have gotten sticky. Silicone spray helps. But in my particular setup, the Velocity One pedals would be a problem since they are so high from the floor. My keyboard tray is almost at lap level and the Velocity One pedals would push my knees too high. Something to consider if you're contemplating these. I could remove the keyboard tray but I prefer the keyboard to be easily accessible.

Well crafted things last years, I'm sure this could be a well worth it investment.

Hi Hud, another great video - many thanks! Have you ever used the logitech ones? I bought a set when I first got into flight simming but they're now just gathering dust. I just wondered if you have any thoughts about the comparison.

post my own update since i owned it since launch. I fly airliners and with the default springs, its actually pretty strong already 🤣(Also to add do to the way my floor and janky desk setup is, with the default springs the thing slides on the floor, so gotta fix that issue before i try the stronger one). As for any issues, I have a dog that sheds a lot, so even when it collects dog hair, I still haven't had problems. Would recommend especially if ur looking for a first rudder pedals (and highly recommend over the Logitech dogshit).

I'm definitely wanting rudder pedals as one of my next flight simulation investments. Just going to wait to see how well the Honeycomb Charlie Pedals compare to these! Already have the Alpha Flight Controls and Bravo Throttle Quadrant so having the Xbox / PC compatability would be nice where I wouldn't get that if I got the Turtle Beach pedals. Definitely will be great to compare though. Turtle Beach made a great product!

I started with the airline style pedals but found the shallow angle made it very difficult for me to apply the brakes - my feet just don't naturally stick straight out like that. Maybe if you're a ballet dancer. I also initially installed the silver springs but I'm thinking of going back to the black ones. There has been an ongoing issue in Xbox with the brake mapping. It seems that if you do a soft reset it loses the brake axis, it doesn't even show up when you search by input and there have been all sorts of threads on how to fix or avoid it. I set my Xbox to never go to sleep so it's either full on or completely off cold and dark. My final solution - I'm building a PC and ditching Xbox.

Just picked these up the other day... any specific deadzone or sensitivity you recommend?

hope i will not regret after use twist method from the end of 90x lol. just ordered this stuff because of curiosity, what the heck is that, and how much it will more precise than i have in x65f twist axis. i absolutely good with twist, however, i think, some time in heli i need more rock fixed position for hovering and landing, and some of models like asobo mustangs have a broken logic for toe so there only way to use tow brakes for normal taxi. in standard situation for lazy folk like me, we can use twist, and then when we press brake button, tow brakes pressed asymmetric, but some of models don't works that way, and so we need to use * and - keys on keyboard, because whatever your rudder position pressing brake trigger in that models press the both virtual brakes and that's annoying as hell. so that's two cause and only that's two cause i bought that stuff. one more cause probably, if i will good with pedals it's probably can motivate me to take realsimulator's stick that's have some more functions than grip of x65f, but same cool concept of force sensors control. no crosswind in local stories, so i get this one, i guess they are similar cool quality. one day long time ago i said to myself if i will got pedals that's will crosswind. but after all this thing was out and i change my mind, as this looks good enough:)

I’m seriously considering buying these V1 rudder pedals. I exclusively use X-Plane 12 on windows 11 do you know if these are compatible with that?

I heard in one of the videos on youtube that you can order the USB connection cable between the Turtle Beach pedals and the Turtle Beach VelocityOne Flightstick joystick. And that they deliver these for free, but can you provide the link where I can order these?

can you uses these with the Honeycomb Aeronautical Alpha on a pc?

Would these connect to boeing yoke thrustmaster for xbox

You really need a decent monitor my man. And please put it in center.

"Turtle Beach sent me these rudder pedals to review"................discredits the whole video unless one simply accepts this is a product endorsement rather than a 'review'.
