Folks, I had the exact same issue as jimj2001. A good samaritan at cust support at VO sent me this and it fixed the problem. The trim is still set at -99 at first flight (Crazy…) but at least brakes work :). A new version of Control Center is now available. It adds in support for our new REACT-R range and includes Recovery mode for VelocityOne Flight. Update now, on Xbox and Windows PC via the Microsoft App Store. This update enables 'Legacy mode' on PC for use with titles like X-Plane 11 and Elite Dangerous. It also enables connection lines in anticipation of VelocityOne™ Rudder pedals, as well as bug fixes including throttle quadrant recognition and stability fixes.

If put down on the Floor the included Grip Pads can be used on the Pedals to give them a good stand. However depending on your surface they can still slip around when giving rudder inputs, which might will push them further away from your feet. The other function you’ll find at the tip of your toes you won’t find on cheaper pedals – a differential braking system. Just like stepping on the ball is an analog motion and feeling, brakes are also an analog action. You’ll want to gradually apply the brakes, not just slam them on full blast as soon as you land. The Velocity One Rudder Pedals sport a set of spring-actuated brakes you apply by pushing your heels towards the ground. These are individually controlled, so you can adjust your plane’s trajectory on the ground with gentle left and right brake applications to steer onto your centerline. When you release your heel pressure, the brakes release, as they should. The VelocityOne Rudder releases on October 31st 2022 for Xbox Series X/S and PC. For this review, as always, we take a look at the Pedals on the Xbox Series Consoles. Whats in the Box?The Yoke needs Firmware 1.3.0 or greater to Support the Pedals. If you are running an older Firmware you need to update your VelocityOne Flight system. On the Yoke´s FMD use the arrow keys to navigate to “06: Accessories” and activate the Pedals once connected. All of this to say, there’s as much an art as technique in smoothly turning a plane without ending up in a situation where you are either causing additional stress on the airframe or burning your fuel unevenly from your tanks. While Flight Simulator doesn’t take into account uneven fuel consumption between your tanks (or at least that I know of), it very much takes into account how well you step on the ball. Mastering this technique is one of the most important parts of flying smoothly, both in real life and in the simulation, so if you intend on either learning the craft for real, or just want to make your game as realistic as possible, you’ll want pedals.

On your flights you experience a smooth rudder axis aswell as a good feeling of the toe brakes. You dont have any problems making smooth rudder inputs. Because of the solid feel you dont need to have any fear when making harder rudder inputs if needed. There aren’t a lot of pedals out there for flight simulation, but to say that the few that exist vary wildly would be a huge understatement. Let’s look at their primary differentiators and characteristics, and why they might matter. A hot patch update (v.1.3.3) for VelocityOne™ Flight Control System is available through the Turtle Beach Control Center app. This fixes some bugs and improves device stability. Integrating the pedals into your existing stand or getting a stand for your Pedals and other Flight Sim Hardware is recommended. All in all the Rudder feels pretty great while flying and really enhances the simulation experience. Along with the changeable pedals and springs they are among some of the best pedals on the market and the best pedals available on Console.

So where are we with Star Citizen? The whole story as of Q2 2023

Another great feature are the interchangeable Pedals. You can swap the larger ones to smaller steeper ones which resemble the Pedals of GA Aircraft. Again you are able to customize your Pedals to your likings and find the Pedals you feel most comfortable with or change them regulary depending on the Aircraft you are flying. For everyone that was maybe looking forward to use the VelocityOne Pedals with other Hardware, like the Thrustmaster Hotas One, and hoped beeing able to connect them directly to the Console might be a bit disappointed. The VelocityOne Pedals need the VelocityOne Flight on Console to work. Confirm that moving the VO Rudder axis on the pedals and the two toe brakes results in a test bar appearing on the Training screen. If not, the hardware is not configured correctly.

You can easily adjust the width of the pedals by reaching under them on the sides and pressing down a button. Each side can be adjusted into 5 fixed witdh positions depening on your preference. This works of course even when the Pedals are screwed down to your Stand as long as the rudder sides are free underneath.The next thing you might notice is that these are listed as Universal Rudder Pedals, meaning you don’t have to use them exclusively with the Velocity One Universal Flight System. That said, they go together like peanut butter and jelly, so why wouldn’t you? When connected to the Velocity One, they immediately sync and are ready to go, but if you aren’t using them with that system, you can simply use a USB-A cable to connect them to your PC. Windows takes over at this point, and games that support rudder pedals (e.g. Elite Dangerous, Microsoft Flight SImulator 2020, etc.) recognized them instantly, based on my testing. It’s nice when things just work, and doubly so when it’s an input enhancement device like this one. Plugging these into the Xbox through the Velocity One Flight Controls, the Xbox immediately recognizes them and they are ready for flight. In MSFS 2020 Control Options, make sure your brakes are mapped to L-Axis 13+ and L-Axis 14+ — NOT to L-Axis 13 and L-Axis 14 without a plus sign ( + ) after the numbers. Interchangeable Springs to adjust the Pedals push resistance (2 already fitted inside the unit / 2 for swapping) I mounted the Pedals onto a Wheelstand Pro V2 for Logitech Saitek Controls which already had my V1F mounted to it. The Pedals dont fit the stand directly as it simply wasnt designed for that, but with the included screws and a bit of craftsmanship they can be easily mounted into any existing setups with no problems.

If you have a VelocityOne Flight (VOF) and you’ve added the VelocityOne Rudder (VO Rudder) to it, but in MSFS the brakes are still controlled by the VOF and not the VO Rudder pedals: With the VelocityOne Rudder Turtle Beach has again delivered a very competitive and solid product for the Flight Sim Market. After releasing the “VelocityOne Flight” to some success, Turtle Beach is releasing its second Flight Sim related Product. The VelocityOne Rudder will expand the already released Yoke with a set of Rudder Pedals to further enhance the immersion of flying from home. To bind the Pedals in MSFS you just need to go into the Control options, select the “VelocityOne Flight” and search for the Rudder Axis. Simply Scanning for input and moving the rudder will bind them. The same applies to the brakes. The process is pretty easy and straight forward. You will then need to manually assign the Left Brake Axis and Right Brakes Axis to their respective pedals.Really discouraged. I think they designed and built a really great product but the software, or interface, or MSFS links, or whatever is being blamed lately, is just a complete lemon.
