I've just ordered velocity one rudder pedals on Amazon and and paid $269:US I kept them on a wish list and the price has gone as high as 289 and as low as 229 but also there are lower prices for open box and and such,thanks for your video Huddison,I go to you for reviews on peripherals and you've been spot on each time ,greatly appreciated!
Oh wow, you're going to love using the V1 Rudders; it really does elevate your overall experience. Can you please link (either here or in discord) the US Amazon link you got them from & I'll add it in the description.
I think that these are the pedals I want. I have tried the cheap Thrustmaster ones and there are so many sticky spots that the motion is jerky no matter what I'd do. I also love the toe brakes on these. Thank you for the 1 year review, it shows that they will last.
I bought my VelocityOne pedals from Amazon (US) in August. At the time they were normally selling for $300 and I bought them on-sale for $270. They were a replacement for my CH Pro Pedals, which I used for 20 years. I've been quite pleased with them, and I think I've actually flown more frequently because of the improvement, particularly since at the time I bought them I was flying the Kodiak 100 a lot. I just looked and it seems that they are currently available on Amazon (US), for $270. (sorry if this appears twice; I posted it a while ago, then I went to make an edit and it had disappeared).
I just got them for £170 on Amazon UK! Thanks for your writeup about this. another review said that at their original price they were not worth it when some MFG Crosswind or VPC Ace was only "£50-£100 more, but if they were £200-£230 they would be great", and here we are!
Good video yet again.... I agree with all your comments. I have been using these for about 6 months on an XBox and they really are excellent. Very smoothy and sturdy. The only thing different that I do is use the airline pedals rather than the GA pedals. As you know you get both types included. I just find with the airline pedals you don't have to keep lifting your feet up like you do with the GA pedals...... it's probably my age though, don't like to expend too much energy!!!!! Thanks again for doing the video.
@@Huddison I think you will find them far more comfortable as you can just rest on feet on the pedal then press forward to brake. No lifting of tired old legs 😀
Just received my unit about three weeks ago for FS 2020 VR. Moved up from many years of CH. I do not have one negative comment, hope they last as long as my CH Product. 😊 Thanks for another excellent video.
I’ve had little to no complaint about any of my turtle beach equipment. The pedals are a must-have for sure. I leave mine in the airline configuration as it’s just more comfortable. Absolutely love mine.
I tried to hold out and get the honey comb pedals but after they could not get the parts to make them I bought the velocity one pedals and very glad i did they work flawlessly and well worth the money.
I think you really know what kind of rudder pedals you have NOT WHEN YOU’RE IN THE AIR, but when you’re on the ground TAXIING. The response of toe brakes how the plane turns on the ground when pressing right or left tells me all I need to know.
These will be next on the list. I got the Tobii eye tracker 5 this month.....I have to wait til next month for the rudder pedals. These are essential since I am a "Helicopterist"!
@@Huddison I couldn't wait that long. They will be in tomorrow. I paid the equivalent of 220 pounds here in Japan. I don't think I will sleep like a baby tonight...too excited.
It might be worth it for the honey combs here in the US. It's $300 on Amazon at the moment but it was $229 when I bought it a few months ago. Weird. Anyway, I have em, and they are friggen amazing. They are the difference in DCS between flopping a plane about and really flowing with its needs and on the edge. It's like Sim racing, first thing you get is a damn good set of pedals.
I bought these yesterday to use with my V1 Flightstick. Unfortunately I didn’t know that they don’t come with the USB-C to USB-C 3.1 cable that’s needed to connect the Flightstick, so I haven’t been able to use them yet. Turtle Beach customer support have been superb though, and a cable is already in the post. The pedals are set up under my desk ready to go and they feel great. I’m really looking forward to playing with them.
Going forward, I hope that TB package the necessary cable in with the Rudders or Flightstick for Xbox Simmers (PC Simmers need not worry about this). Enjoy them when your cable arrives & it's good to hear that Turtle Beach were helpful in this matter.
I recently missed a sale for these. They were $269 USD, now they're back up to $299. The Honeycomb Pedals aren't coming out. That company is on it's way out as the California office closed down last week. It's been pretty telling over the last year that something is wrong with that company.
I have the Thrustmaster TPR right now, but I might switch to the velocity one pedals, since I preordered the velocity one flight deck. Hopefully they will pair up nicely together.
Hi again Huddison. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the saitek rudder pedals in general. And also in comparison to the velocity one pedals that you have showcased here. Thank you sir. Ben
I really do like these pedals; they feel awfully close to what I have in my Beechcraft Musketeer. The only issue I've had is once or twice now I've had to unplug/re-plug the pedals because I would lose the right pedal response.
PC; but X-Plane 12, not MSFS. Like I said, I really do like the GA-style with tow-brakes. I fly many different types of GA; including Cessna 172's, several Piper Cherokees (one actually does not even have tow brakes) and our own Beechcraft; so, I know what pedals should feel like.
Wonderful feedback again. I've not had that issue on PC MSFS myself, but I know Xbox users can have a few issues (like with most hardware).@@martygenska8117
I'm about a year into my Velocity Rudder pedals. Squeaky.... they need greasing somehow. still precise but not quiet sadly... nothing is broken but they should be more silent.
Hello Professor Huddison! Thank-you for your review. Unfortunately, I have arthritis in both feet and ankles, and cannot take advantage of the differential braking. I am currently using Logitech's rudder pedals, but have to tweek the sensitivity substantially for each GA aircraft I fly. Will the Velocity One pedals be more consistent so that I do not have to modify the sensitivity as much for flying my GA aircraft? I am flying on a PC. Thank-you for your answer.
That's a difficult one to answer, per your own preferences. I've never owned the Logitech Rudders, so I cannot compare; but our Discord members might be able to shed more light on this.
I don't but a member of Airwego was asking about them a week ago if they were any good or not, he has bought a pair now and just said to him he could of done with this video a week ago lol@@Huddison
@@Huddison Just bought a pair last weekend for £200 from Amazon, Gave up waiting for the Honeycomb's plus would have meant reworking my office to fit them in. These fit under my desk nicely. I did watch your previous videos before purchase. And I can add that the smoother pads do grip my smooth floor covering nicely, and don't move in use.
Still love my TB rudder pedals. Unfortunately anyone waiting for the honeycomb ones probably will not see them with the company going bankrupt and have disappeared off the face of the Earth also a ton of lawsuits coming against them.
The toe brakes rarely work so I had to assign the brakes to another control just in case. Turning on & off accessories doesn't work now. Is it the xbox series x flaw?
Hi Huddison. I wonder if you can help me. I have just gone over to Steam the version of MSFS 2020 after my bought version would no longer reload on my Desktop. I have saved the Community folder from the bought version and its full of aircraft, airports etc. I cant find the community folder in the Steam version, I was hoping to transfer all my bought aircraft, airports etc into it and was hoping that would work. as a test today I rebought Haverfordwest airport, my local airport from within the sim and that worked great. Just hoping I don't have to buy them all over again. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks Dave.M
Do you know if these rudder pedals work with Airbus TCA Captain Pack on Xbox (not PC)? Amazon spec' infers pedals not work unless connected via Velocity One Yoke. You're suggesting Velocity One flightstick ok as that conduit to Xbox for pedals to function. But what about pedals compatibility for Airbus Captain Pack's stick & throttle quadrant, if using that Airbus flightstick instead of pedals requiring V1 stick? (I have V1 stick & Airbus TCA stick). Much appreciated, your experience. Thanks Ray
@@Huddison So good of you to take time to help with that answer. Much appreciated. Thanks. So I take it you've not stumbled across any fix to being unable use pedals with ThrustMaster TCA Airbus Throttle & Side Stick? Such a shame. Because when experimenting with both V1 Stick active as well as Airbus Stick/Throttle active, it causes Xbox MSFS conflict, where throttle on Airbus & throttle on V1 stick fail to throttle accurately. This is reason why I won't be able to buy V1 Pedals. Because to fly Airbus, I cannot also have V1 Stick active (which is the only way for pedals to communicate, via switched off V1 Stick). If you stumble across any fixes, grateful, as would love to buy V1 pedals. Ray
@@raybailey3475 Conflicts can happen often between controllers in MSFS. I really need to cover that topic in a future video. The t-flight rudders may work for you?
@@Huddison That would be a great topic. Especially as Xbox users are constrained by controller restrictions not always encountered on PC. Example the exciting Honeycomb product range, eg their throttle quadrant doesn't illuminate switch lights on Xbox but does on PC. Xbox limitations not always clearly advertised before buying peripherals. Hence, anxieties buying blindly, such as V1 Pedals that may or not work on Xbox when other peripherals connnected. You do such a good job on your Channel, that this woukd be an amazing Xbox focused topic. I'm 70 and should know better 🤣 buying my first Console a few weeks ago and so a newbie to FlightSim, wanting it to become a passion in retirement. Thankfully I'm very PC literate & tech' savvy. I'm wanting to literally learn to fly and become absorbed. My wife & I were ground based ex commercial aviation and I never had time for the PPL lessons I pomised myself, lifelong. Hence MSFS now. About to build an aluminium profile SIMrig. So I can understand how you caught the bug. Thanks again for your Channel. I'll follow you closely as it's a huge help for beginners and beyond. Regards Ray
Have been using these pedals for more than a year. No problems encountered and a pleasure to use.

The GA config can seem a little high for many; I must try using purely the Airline pedals config to see how that suits.

The great news is that these Rudders are fantastic with Choppers - in fact, they're fantastic full stop.

Thank you sir.

Hi Ben, I never owned the Saitek Rudders, so can't give my opinion or comparison on them.
You should make a video where you land a water plane in the Hudson river but call it the Huddison river 😩
🤣
I really do like these pedals; they feel awfully close to what I have in my Beechcraft Musketeer. The only issue I've had is once or twice now I've had to unplug/re-plug the pedals because I would lose the right pedal response.

You should be able to grease or oil the springs.
Hello Professor Huddison! Thank-you for your review. Unfortunately, I have arthritis in both feet and ankles, and cannot take advantage of the differential braking.

I hope that's not true regarding HC, but the signs don't look good.
What are your sensitivity settings please?
@@Huddison In your first video you show that you had reduced the sensitivity on the rudder to -30% , is this not the case now?
The toe brakes rarely work so I had to assign the brakes to another control just in case. Turning on & off accessories doesn't work now. Is it the xbox series x flaw?
Yes, toes brakes can often fail for many Xbox users; our discord users have a work around for that (maybe I'll make a future video on this).
@@Huddison Thank you. I read the Discord comments on this, hopefully I can get it to work. It's super frustrating.
Great review. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
I have the Thrustmaster TPR rudder pedals. The best you can buy. But these look pretty decent. Especially if they can be used with Xbox.
Current US price on Amazon is US$269
Thanks for the feedback; that's fairly good considering exchange rates etc.
Just got VO today. It can yaw on sky but I cant taxi on ground or control direction during takeoff, please help…
What platform are you flying on?
