VELOCITYONE FLIGHT AIRCRAFT CONFIGURATION | PART 2 for XBOX | Including Reverse Thrust | MSFS 

Thank you for your help and support 👍

Glad it was of some help 👍

It and you help me a lot with MSFS 2020. Your tutos are very well done and explained. Thank you and continue your tutos.

For reverse thrust I’m using toggle reverse thrust and mapping it to Joystick L-axis 8+ (pulling the black Venturi throttle stick towards you) It didn’t work but my theory would be that that “button” would activate reverse thrust and then I could push it back in to deactivate and do the same with the prop feather. Wonder why I can’t get that to work? Any idea why it won’t let that be a work around?

Glad I was able to help 😀

@@SimHangerFS well you did more than that.... so really Thank you!

Yes, brilliant idea for the parking brake! 👍

Smart, I’m going to do that.

Took a while to figure this one out: Joystick L-Axis 9 -, then on press.

@@sethkazzim731 There might be an even better way. Since today TB released new firmware, that makes it possible to map reverse thrust to the four top levers by way of using the full downward move of all those as a new button. If you don’t need all of those levers for engines and have set one up as gear up/down you could use the down move for parking brakes. That will not interfere with gear up/down as parking brakes only make sense with your landing gear being down.

@@caskraker True, I will do that for my TBM-930 profile, your suggestion works nicely with my Cessna 152 once I got it in sync.

Your very welcome

Literally just spent the day configuring mine and then reads this. D’oh! 😂. Great news though, thanks.

Except having just updated Firmware to 1.1.0, it doesn’t work. Firstly the detent action only seems to work ONCE when recording inputs in the control settings - once recorded for one of the inputs, they stop working. Secondly, the input recorded by the Xbox does not match what TB advise in the instructions. It is supposed to be Buttons 41-44 but I actually get Joystick L-Axis 2+ (or close variations). Have given up and reverted to the suggestions here.

@@PrinceBarin77 That's exactly what happened to me. In order to get buttons 41-44 to show up, I had to force-quit MSFS, remove the VF1 USB cable and then start MSFS from scratch. Then everything worked as expected. It's all just a tiny bit fiddly right now, but after a few fits and starts it seems stable now.

@@Rick-ik2dd Thank you!! I think the “quick resume” status of my game was the issue. As you suggested, force quit the game, restarted everything and voila! All sorted. Much appreciated 🍻

Hi, I would love to, but I dont have that product at the moment.

TB really need to sort out their update process. 👍

Did you end up figuring this out? Also looking for an awsner

Update the firmware. Process shown in my review video.

Hi, yes there is one for the PC coming up next week. 👍

I’m not sure if this is assigned, try the trim wheel?

Thank you for the advice! This solved the issue with the flaps

The training reads only the default bindings.

Firmware update via Xbox is available. No problem

I may have figured it out. Testing further tomorrow!

Mark, you are the ABSOLUTE BEST! You must have been a teacher in this or a past life...your instruction is concise, well-narrated and well-filmed, and I'm sure that I (as well as many, MANY others!) have greatly benefited from your experience. Glad you're here and dedicated to helping others... Couple of questions for you: 1. I've copied profiles over as you showed in Parts 1 and 2 and have stopped (for the time being) after setting up V1F_single_TR. Will get to twins and jets a bit later. When it came to setting up the upper right stick on the throttle quadrant for flaps axis, it programmed OK but when I go for a test flight and watch the flaps lever on the console, it moves sort of "herky-jerky". I can hear the "noise" of the flaps moving up/down and see them moving if I go to external view. It just doesn't seem to work as smoothly as it did when you demo'd it in your test flight. QUESTION: Could having "all assists" on when doing those test flights be interfering with the settings, or do the assists work ONLY in training and not in free flight? If it's not the assists, I must have mis-entered something and will have to go back a profile or two. 2. At this point, I have some "unassigned" buttons, namely, HAT-1 up/down, and B9/B10 on the programmable buttons on the TQ above the vernier controls. Any suggestions for things to program those to? I also don't have anything assigned to POV-2/External...best just to program that to an external 360 freelook? Finally, glad to see TB is on the ball and put out an update/instructions for the reverse thrust issue. (I liked how you had it set up on HAT-1 up/down but might as well do it TB's way as it seems a bit more...authentic). While I haven't gotten as far as twins and jets yet on the profiles, setting it up for one stick was pretty easy...pretty much the same thing for multi-engines? Cheers, and keep up the GREAT work! 🙂

@@neilmackey9626 thanks Neil, glad you found it useful 😀and thank you for supporting the channel, much appreciated. Unassigned buttons could be assigned to autopilot functions. Pilot assist does interfere with these settings as your setting flaps up and your copilot might be trying to set flaps down for example. Turn off pilot assist when checking assignments. 👍

Not yet functioning with Xbox. Expect this to be enabled after the next sim update 👍

Hi, in the assistance main menu, check you have pilot assist functions all switched to off.

Not sure I understand your query….there are zoom functions within the cockpit camera settings.

@@SimHangerFS I'm trying to get the zoom to work on a plus and minus range with a button, ie the more you press and hold the further/closer the zoom goes.

Hi Mark, check you have all pilot assist options turned off in the assistance options menu.

Check calibration in windows if you can.

You might have had the same problem as me Andrew. I went through Mark's tutorial and the flaps didn't work on any of the aircraft. I thought that it might be due to an overarching setting in MSFS (as I am new to simming and had everything set to "EASY"), so I went into Assistance Options/Piloting and turned off Assisted Takeoff. Hey presto - the flaps then worked everywhere!

@@flybeeson7950 great solution….thank you

Switch to Joystick L-Axis 6 (or another number). Not 6- or 6+.

@@flybeeson7950 Hi Alan, I'm using FS2020 on XBox X series, and was having exactly the same problem as you and Andrew with the Flaps returning to the middle and not having full function, etc...... Thanks to your very helpful comment ref turning the assisted take -off to "Off" has worked perfectly, so a huge thanks to you mate !!. All the very best John Urwin.

Sounds as if something is corrupted. Try restart console. Check for updates.

Hi I’m using Joystick L-Axis 6, not 6- or 6+, reverse axis is ticked/on ☑️

Flap Axis, not the %

Thx Seth. This issue got fixed on its own. I deleted the profile and went through simhanger set up again.

Check your using the correct flap axis, there is more than one, also ensure pilot assist functions are all off.

Up to you works with all three. Keyboard is recommended.

Yes it can, but using a keyboard is. Much easier and quicker

It should move. Check externally if the flaps are moving. If not then the config is wrong (make sure all pilot assist features are off) or the aircraft you’ve loaded is not using the default config. Check with default aircraft.

Hey thanks so much for the fast response I just had to exit the menu then enter in again thanks so much I’m loving the controler

You can't on Xbox. You need a simgle profile im afraid.

@SimHangerFS Ok. So I should rename the Yoke profile and add the basic quadrant functionality into one profile.

@@jmoestretti yes Sir, exactly that.

Hey Rick, sounds like a great solution. I’ll give it a go 👍

@@SimHangerFS After further experimentation, it looks like this is only an effective solution in the single engine turboprop configurations. The "hold reverse" button still seems to be the best way to get into reverse in the twin props and all the jet configs.

Check you are using the correct axis assignment…there are two, they act differently.

@@SimHangerFS May I ask what the right one is?

I have the same problem with engine 3 and 4. I have them both assigned to Joystick L-axis 6 but they act weird. No problem with engine 1 and 2 which are assigned to Joystick L-axis 5. All help is very much appreciated.

Check under your assistance menu….sounds like you have pilot assist turned on. Turn it off

I have no date from Honeycomb also. TB is the next best thing.

thanks for your quick reply. im on xbox for a long time and just got series x lately, but would like to get on flight sim and get all the right accessories the first time to save money in the long run. i will be following your channel. thanks again

xbox has so many versions of the flight sim with the standard edition that comes free with game pass. Would you recommend the standard edition for newbies?

@@butch5187 yes, try that and see if it what you want…you can always upgrade to premium or deluxe later.

Make sure all pilot assists are off in the assistance options.

Works for me, check you have the correct flap axis mapped, there is more than one.

@@SimHangerFS I will do that as soon as I get home thanks for making such a great tutorial videos.

L 483mm (19.01”) x W 496mm (19.5”) x H 183mm (7.2”)

@@SimHangerFS Thank you sir. Length is total depth from Yoke to the lower part (towards monitor) ?

@@psour33 uk.turtlebeach.com/products/velocity-one-flight

Under preset manager you can delete all user profiles. The default profiles that come with the unit cannot be deleted.

Hi, the default profiles on the yoke are for ‘’training’’ purposes only. In other words so you can check the buttons/axis in something like windows calibration etc. They serve no useful purpose actually and the setting has no effect in the simulation. To all intents & purposes I ignore them. The peripheral has some default profiles built into MSFS.

@@SimHangerFSMr. Mark, thank you thank you thank you my good man, I cannot tell you how relieved I am to hear you say that because I truthfully had like no way of knowing either way if it was that important or not. Glad to know now though. I sincerely appreciate all you have done here to help newbies and amateurs like myself. Hopefully you dont mind it when people like myself ask you questions....cuz if i cant find an answer online, id much rather ask someone with knowledge and experience than believe everything I read on the net hahaha. take care sir. until next time!
