Not sure if this has been addressed already, but I got the mixture handle to work properly by assigning it to the Mixture Axis (100% to -100%) mapping. Works as it should - able to reach all detents.
I may have found a solution to the mixture lever issue: I have set Sensitivity- to '-100%', Sensitivity+ to '-75%', Dead Zone to '50%', and Neutral to '-50%'. This has put the cutoff point at the detent position, and moving the lever immediately sets the mixture to low idle, and the top 25% range of motion sets the mixture to high idle. This is at least working for me on Xbox. I hope this helps someone, and thank you for the very helpful videos!
Whilst this worked fine in the C280B, the Kodiak does not appear to recognise the Condition Lever Low Idle / Cut Cut off commands - so I've added the Decrease Condition Lever command to the indent press as well... This correctly reduces the lever to cut off in the Kodiak, without adversely affecting the C208B... It does however require pushing the lever all the way forward in the Kodiak, then back again to Low position in order to put the Kodiak back to Low idle. Could also map the release event to the increase condition lever action, which would work for the Kodiak, but would result in other aircraft increasing to high idler condition when un-detenting, so not suitable for a generic profile...
Loved this set of three videos - they've really helped me to get a better control mapping on the V1F. Looking forward to any more updated control mappings you may come out with :)
Thank you!!! I am finally able to get my reversers to work, thanks to your clear and concise tutorial! Feathering works as detailed and I was able to apply the reversers to my Turboprop, Twin-Engine & Four-Engine Jets!!! Thanks again!
Great vid, would like to add by assigning Decrease Prop 1 pitch to the Prop detent position but setting it to 'on release' this will stop the in game Prop lever going to top position when you move the Prop lever out of the detent position on the quadrant
G’day fella, yet another beauty. I won’t pretend to understand what you did Re prop feathering settings…🤷♂️ As for the reverse thrust, I’d be kidding myself if I thought I’d know to set it twice on press, on release reverse, idle… surely these GUI’s could be a hell of a lot simpler and more intuitive!

Excellent Tutorial! Thank you so much. Helped me a lot. Sometimes its really hard for me to get the real meaning behind a programmers naming-convention. You saved me from searching forever...:)
Set up my rig today with the help of your videos. Thank you very much 😊 I found a way to set up the condition lever, Extremity Deadzone to 2%, "Decrease condition lever 1" to the detent Position on press. works fine for me 👍🏻
Aloha from Hawaii thank you for the update and I look forward to turtle Beach getting the lights to activate I love all your videos they're very informative.
Thanks very much for this excellent update Mark. You were able to do it very quickly as well. I had the throttle settings correct from Pilot/0083’s video but you also covered the prop feathering which I hadn’t done. I’ve now transferred the settings to the V1F Single TR and Twin TR profiles. Everything seems to be set up correctly now for me and currently it stays that way (as you say a bit buggy at first). Let’s hope TB are able to get the SIP working soon for those of us on XBox. It will then be a pretty awesome controller!
There is some sort of issue on xbox with it retaining the new settings. Also, same issue/solution for making the new detents show up. First, force quit MSFS, then unplug the Turtle Beach USB cable from the xbox. Restart xbox. When MSFS is booted into its initial screen, plug the TB USB cable back in. You should now be able to see the new detent buttons and configure the reversers per Mark's fine video. I only have an xbox, so not sure if this applies to PC users, too.....but, unfortunately, even after you've configured everything correctly and have it working, in order to have these new settings reappear correctly, you often have to unplug the TB USB cable after each MSFS shutdown and plug it in after MSFS starts up again. I've also been seeing some of this same behavior with my Thrustmaster TRFB rudder pedals---where the USB cable has to be unplugged and replugged in for them to show up after MSFS shutdown. Seems like there may have been a bug that has cropped up with the latest MSFS update???
Thank you. I spent so much time with it refusing to recognize it as a button & searching via Mark’s note that it should be button 41 I noticed there was no button 41 on my XB:SX. I just did the unplug & reset you suggested and it worked! I did have a strange cursor disappearing thing that happens sometimes that I have to press the Xbox button & come back it to have it back and for the second capture had it capturing as an axis again but just manually selected button 41, validated & saved and when I tested it worked! What a relief. Thanks to you both for this help. It was a good reminder for me to buy Mark / SimHangar Flight Simulation a cup of coffee last night. His patient, clear, poised walk through of setting this up saved me hours of frustration and was worth a few cups of coffee imho. Add on all the other great content from him I take for granted and it was a good reminder of the value this channel brings me and how I should not take that for granted.

I figured out the condition lever on the Cessna 208 B (PC) at least: Condition lever 1 low idle (joystick button 13 on press, joystick R axis y-) has 2 binds. Condition lever 1 high idle (joystick r axis y+) and condition lever 1 cut off (joystick button 13 on press). It doesn't 100% make sense to me because button 13 is bound to two different actions on press. But it does work!
Would there be any appetite from Simhangar to do a video with V1F mappings for something like the Osprey? I know it's probably best suited for a Flightstick but there are plenty of people out there with a V1F who are trying to figure out the best mappings for it, I'm sure. Keep up the excellent work!
Your videos are so informative. I never realized what the propellers do when they are feathered. I find most of your settings to work well. I'm wondering if you would do a VelocityOne setting for the PMDG DC-6 as it's a very sluggish plane.
Thank you for this latest update. I am a novice and might have something wrong here - but I have noticed a problem with the prop feather function. When I apply as suggested, after moving out of detent, the in cabin lever flicks back to the top (minimum pitch) the Xbox version picks up the axis rather than the button click (e.g. axis rather than button 41, 42 etc). But it works fine if I search for the control and select button 41, 42 etc. Thanks
Thank you for this. I've found all of your Velocity One videos really helpful and very accessible. I did have a query though as I'm unsure how to configure the throttle quad on PC for single engine jets, I have your twin and four engine configs complete with reversers working perfectly! But what would be your suggested single engine jet configuration?
Any chance of doing an update for the lights on these units? do the lights turn on for example: landing gear switching from blue to green or is this not a feature?
Mark, thanks for the videos, they're a great help! Question: what did you end up assigning to the Hat2 Up and Down Switch, as well as the Quad buttons labelled B9 and B10?
Thank you again Mark for an excellent video! I have a question: is there a way to get the quadrant buttons to light up when pressed (see this video 0:13 for example), apparently that is not working in my case.
Good morning, Mark! Neil the "problem child" here again...hope this finds you and yours well! 🙂 I copied your V1F-single-TR settings over to create the V1F-twin-TR profile. THROTTLE settings seem to work fine by duplicating the imported #1 settings to #2. This includes getting reversers by going into the detent position, so all good there. As part of that import, it copied over the PROP settings as well. On the single TR (Caravan), I can shut the engine down by using the mixture control. Once stopped, using the blue TQ lever, I can physically see the blades moving, but only when I go into the detent on that lever...nothing happens going from the top down to just short of the detent. Is that normal? At any rate, after duplicating the prop settings from Single-TR to Twin-TR, nothing happens when I shut the engine down in the KA350i...moving the lever, even into detent, the blades don't change pitch. LOL...honest, I Googled it first and checked around in the forum but can't seem to determine if the KA350i has "feathering" props, although there were a few references to that model doing it automatically. Did I miss the boat somewhere here? Finally, at the time you put this video out, TB and MSFS hadn't done their "detents" update yet. You suggested a workaround, but now that detent is available on "condition lever/mixture", can you advise on the proper settings? Right now, I have CONDITION LEVERS 1 & 2 assigned to Joystick Axis 6 (the red TQ mixture lever) with "reverse axis" unchecked. (I'm on an Xbox Series X). Moving the lever moves the scroll bar back and forth and both move in unison in the cockpit. (You "fast-forwarded" a bit after the first set and even after rewatching it a few times, I'm still a bit confused). I also have the MIXTURE settings for Mixture 1 & 2 Axis set at Joystick Axis 6 as well, with "reverse axis" unchecked. If I clear those settings and pull the mixture lever down from "0" into detent, it shows Joystick Button 43 (the detent position) with, "Warning: selected button input is not recommended for this action". NEITHER of those settings gives me the "on press" / "on release" options like we used in some of the other detent settings...😞 Suggestions??? Cheers, and sorry for being a bit long-winded!
Thank you for the tutorial, Is there any chance you use the fbw A320? If so could you possibly post a video on how to calibrate the velocity one within the tablet on the aircraft as I have been trying for ages but the reverse thrust is always the issue I have while trying to calibrate my velocity one. Again thanks for the great tutorial, lee.
Hi Mark - excellent video as usual. I'm desperately trying to hang on until the Alpha XPC is released but keep looking at this yoke...however in your full review you were cautious about the lack of friction on the throttle controls and sticky 'feel' on the pitch axis. Just curious how does your yoke now feel after a few months? Any better or worse?? Thanks
:10 into this vide it shows the B3-B12 lights turning on and off. It doesn't appear that this is possible even with the latest updates. Anyone know if this part of a future update they've said is coming? I'm guessing the video B-Roll/Stock video from Turtle Beach that SimHanger is using here?
Hi, thank you for your videos. Just got mine to work on the prop but not on the cj4. By the time the lever reaches the detent, it shows all the way down in the cockpit. Im i doing something wrong or it doesn't work on the cj4? Thank you
First and foremost, thanks for all three videos. The profiles you have created are a great start to get one in the air fast. The problem I am having is with the twin turboprop profile, propeller pitch isn't working properly. It does work properly in other profiles. The axis shows a full range of motion in the controller programmer but in the sim the controller is restricted to the lowest 25% of the range. I can move the pitch full range with the mouse but as soon as I touch the propeller control it jumps back down to the bottom of its range. Thoughts?
Sorry - the last comment got a bit garbled. Should have read: Thank you for this latest update. I am a novice and might have something wrong here - but I have noticed a problem with the prop feather function. When I apply as suggested, after moving out of detent, the in cabin lever flicks back to the top (minimum pitch). I fixed this by adding an ON RELEASE function to set the pitch to minimum after release. But I might have the original setting running from maximum to minimum rather than minimum to maximum - but if I reverse the axis then the VelocityOne position does not match the in cabin levers?? I'm just not 100% sure what's correct. Perhaps you could explain what the correct settings for pitch are - is the pitch at minimum when the lever is up? I have also noted that the Xbox version picks up the axis rather than the button click (e.g. axis rather than button 41, 42 etc) whne using detect control. But it works fine if I search for the control and select button 41, 42 etc. rather than use the detect control function. Thanks
@@SimHangerFS Thank you for the reply. So if I have understood properly, the pitch is maximum when it is all the way up, we reduce the pitch as we pull the lever down to the detent position. Then we pull it into detent, the button press triggers hold reverse thrust, and increase pitch. So when we release from detent the pitch is high again. Surely ON RELEASE we need to set the pitch back to minimum otherwise when we move out of detent the simulator will reposition the in cabin propeller lever to the high position that it came out of detent at?
Hi! Thanks for this video! What a pity! Although I have the VelocityOne with firmware 1.1.0 and the "Training" recognizes all four buttons, my Xbox does not recognize them 😭
Sounds like your update has not completed. It is a problem some have experienced. Check here for more details support.turtlebeach.com/s/article/4416572106779-VelocityOne-Flight-Control-Center-Update-Firmware?language=en_US

Can´t I just assign the button to "toggle throttle reverse thrust" with the PMDG? Can anyone please illuminate how they set this up for the PMDG aircraft?
I entered all of your settings from single basic to 747, and I &ounce a p4oblem The prop and condition levers fro single advanced to King Air worked in reverse orde and there was NO WAY to check a box for reverse. In addition, when trying to set say prop on the Bonanza, I get the message (using an Xbox X) “Warning: selected button is not recommended for this action” The button referred to is JOYSTICK L-Axis 5. How do I get the Prop and condition levers to show a reverse so that they work in the correct direction?
Right now, I can fly only single engine fixed prop aircraft because the prop levers (I am on an XBox X) work in the reverse direction to what they should and there is no box for “reverse” when selecting prop 1 axis or condition 1 axis. Please help!
Thank you very much for the video Mark! I've just finished customizing the prop settings and when I move it out of feather and back to the detent it automatically puts the lever at Max instead of staying at the detent?
@@SimHangerFS I do have mine set to propeller 1 axis which matches your video. I wonder if something's changed in the recent firmware updates that might explain it? I noticed in your video that you panned the camera towards the blades and away from the levers so I couldn't see how your lever behaved after you moved it back to the detent
I have update 1.1.0 and the prop 1 axis and condition 1 axis do not have the option box to “reverse”, so they both move in the wrong direction and consequently feather and reverse are at the wrong end of the lever movement. How did YOU get theses to show “reverse” box option? Also, they both gave warnings: this button is not recommended for this function. Say what?? These are the same button numbers on my XBox X as you showed on your videos. Thank you so much for your great videos and for your help.
Hi Ted, not sure what the issue is. I do have the reverse boxes….make sure your V1F is selected from the top menu selection…in your controls option menu. To help you suggest you join my discord, invite in video description, then post your issue in the help-me-posts section. We can then discuss and we can share photos etc. Regards Mark
I have been wondering how to simulate an engine failure in a twin piston airplane with this peripheral. My guess is that we can configure one engine with the levers, and the other with the black, blue and red push-pull controls. Am I on the right track? Please, I am not asking for a detailed answer, unless you want to type details for posterity's sake.
@@SimHangerFS Using the mouse, I guess, since both engines are bound to the same lever? But if I touch a lever after the "failure", won't both engines react the same way?
Hey, i have followed your tutorials, but when I set up the detent/reverse thrust my throttle lever only moves a tiny bit down not all the way down, what am I doing wrong? also on another note following your other video, my flaps seem to go only from 21% when its all the way up and 75% when it is all the way down on the quadrant. any ideas?
I followed the instructions but the SIP does nothing. At least not in the Cessna 172 and King Air 350. Ah well... Nontheless, thank you Mark for your video on this - I would have missed the Firmware update otherwise !
@@SimHangerFS Thanks a bunch ! I forgot the ON part of it, I must have missed that in the description. The panel works but I find it a bit ... lackluster. I wonder if we will eventually get some configuration tools for it. So that the Autopilot light doesnt blink all the time when the autopilot is OFF etc.. Anyway, thanks again !
Has anyone been able to set up the prop feathering for a twin turbo prop like the King Air 350? The issue I’m running into is that there is only one “Hold Propellor Reverse Thrust” function. So therefore you can only feather both engines at the same time, not one at a time. This is an issue because if there is an engine failure in flight you don’t want to feather both the working and non working engine.
Check out this config…for Bravo and single engine, but the config for a twin would be the same…prop 1 prop 2 etc. ruclips.net/video/Yv1JRURqqaU/видео.html
I downloaded version 1.1.0 and on the Training tab on teh Control Column, it recognised that there was an extra "switch" after you entered the indent on the throttle controls. However, When I went to the setup on my "Twin Turboprop" tab and tried to assign this function, the software would not recognise the indent as a separate function to register Throttle Decrease or Throttle Cut. Are you able to assist.
@@SimHangerFS Thanks for all your guidance and advice. My settings on a KingAir B200 works well. However, on my daughter's profile, Her KingAir B200 only worked on Reverse Thrust for Throttle 1 whereas the propellor feathering worked OK. Did the unplug-plug routing a number of times. Any furhter advice?
Hey guys, the action for detent at 6:17 does not do anything for me. I have the right firmware and I follow exactly what you says on the video. But moving to detent position does not do anything… what am I doing wrong. It only detects something when sliding up or down. Please HELP!!!😩
There is a problem on some systems with the update. It means your update has hung. There is a recommended fix on the Turtle Beach Simulations discord or forum. support.turtlebeach.com/s/article/4422096162203-VelocityOne-Flight-Detent-Buttons-Don-t-Appear-In-Flight-Sim-After-Update-On-Xbox?language=en_US
Being following this when pilot083 put it up a week or so ago. It is very very buggy mine will not pick up the buttons 75% of the time at the detent position without unplugging the V1 shutting down the xbox and trying again.
@@SimHangerFS Thanks pal tried all ways mate sometimes it sees the button other times invisible without mucking about unplugging everything and a reboot of console. Give up and went back to the method 1 in your guide.
@@karlluinen5034 If you are using the XBox version, I found that I had to search for the buttons (button42 etc) rather than detect them - since the detect function only found the xAxis not the buttons. But if you select the buttons from the search function it works fine.
I'm one of the unlucky ones that is now stuck in Update Mode after tying to apply the new update. TB support sent me the recovery tool but no go. Has now been elevated to figure out the issue. I suspect they'll RMA it, I just got it last month! Have to go back to my logitech yoke for now to keep flying I guess.
@@runningthingsgaming3980 tried that first, didn’t work. Everything was fine before I tried to install update, got “update failed” message and been stuck ever since.
When I try to put a new profile on the v1 yoke I keep getting an error saying that the quad is not being detected. Over the year I have put a few new profiles trying to emulate your great videos, so I have probably screwed something up somewhere. Any suggestions?
Hi, your tip is so helpful to setting my V1F. However, in case of a multi engine (king air 350) prop feathering, both of props go feathering all together. I've tried two individual levers to control each prop's feathering separately but it always work together. How can I make one prop go feathering when the other one is running with V1F levers only without using mouse? (XBOX version)
i already updated my V1F controller to 1.1.0 on xbox series x, yet button 41 and 42 do not appear as an option. Is there a solution to this? Your video on V1F is quite helpful, thanks
Hi, im on the xbox x. I used the app for downloading the firmware. In the app it says there is new firmware (1.1.0) so i put the velocity in download mode and the download starts. When it's ready i reboot everything. Then in the lcd from velocity it says i still have 1.0.4 So i try again. And again it says there is new firmware. I did this 4 times now and i still have 1.0.4?

can someone that uses this in PC share the working mapping file... C:\Users\(name)\AppData.... inputprofile_(xxxx...numbers) is a xml file... thanks in advance
I got the same problem. No way I can config the settings as shown in the video. The fact that the trim-wheel don't work at all and flaps only works every now and then makes me regret buying this thing. It's just not worth the money. Luckily I got 50 days where I can return it and get my money back, and so I will. Now I got to figure out what to replace it with. Very dissapointed with Turtle Beach.
I had the same problem. Simply unplug the controller from the xbox while in the pause menu and plug it in again right away. It should fix this error and the 4 new “functions” should now work.
The V1F gets an important update, activating the 4 buttons in the detent position. We can now set reverse and prop feather more realistically. 😀
Excellent video as always.
How has the yoke broken in? Is it as responsive at it should be?
@@Zarkaithnia it is better but still a little stick on the pitch axis.
@@SimHangerFS Glad to read it's gotten better! Have you had any issues with the quadrant levers falling down?

Same issue here, I'll mail this to their support, hopefully they can fix this
Great video. Thanks!
Thank you Mark!!
Thanks! You saved me a lot of time. Will this also work for twin engine jets?
Hi Huddison. I found a solution for the condition lever problem. 😎🤩
Thank you for this. I've found all of your Velocity One videos really helpful and very accessible. I did have a query though as I'm unsure how to configure the throttle quad on PC for single engine jets, I have your twin and four engine configs complete with reversers working perfectly! But what would be your suggested single engine jet configuration?
Same as twin, but second throttle etc deleted.
Any chance of doing an update for the lights on these units? do the lights turn on for example: landing gear switching from blue to green or is this not a feature?
Mark, thanks for the videos, they're a great help! Question: what did you end up assigning to the Hat2 Up and Down Switch, as well as the Quad buttons labelled B9 and B10?
They are still unassigned.
Danke!
Thank you again Mark for an excellent video! I have a question: is there a way to get the quadrant buttons to light up when pressed (see this video 0:13 for example), apparently that is not working in my case.
The only way is to delete the honeycomb driver completely and reinstall. Not sure if that would impact your profiles though👀
Good morning, Mark! Neil the "problem child" here again...hope this finds you and yours well! 🙂
I copied your V1F-single-TR settings over to create the V1F-twin-TR profile. THROTTLE settings seem to work fine by duplicating the imported #1 settings to #2. This includes getting reversers by going into the detent position, so all good there.
As part of that import, it copied over the PROP settings as well. On the single TR (Caravan), I can shut the engine down by using the mixture control. Once stopped, using the blue TQ lever, I can physically see the blades moving, but only when I go into the detent on that lever...nothing happens going from the top down to just short of the detent. Is that normal?
At any rate, after duplicating the prop settings from Single-TR to Twin-TR, nothing happens when I shut the engine down in the KA350i...moving the lever, even into detent, the blades don't change pitch. LOL...honest, I Googled it first and checked around in the forum but can't seem to determine if the KA350i has "feathering" props, although there were a few references to that model doing it automatically. Did I miss the boat somewhere here?
Finally, at the time you put this video out, TB and MSFS hadn't done their "detents" update yet. You suggested a workaround, but now that detent is available on "condition lever/mixture", can you advise on the proper settings? Right now, I have CONDITION LEVERS 1 & 2 assigned to Joystick Axis 6 (the red TQ mixture lever) with "reverse axis" unchecked. (I'm on an Xbox Series X). Moving the lever moves the scroll bar back and forth and both move in unison in the cockpit. (You "fast-forwarded" a bit after the first set and even after rewatching it a few times, I'm still a bit confused).
I also have the MIXTURE settings for Mixture 1 & 2 Axis set at Joystick Axis 6 as well, with "reverse axis" unchecked. If I clear those settings and pull the mixture lever down from "0" into detent, it shows Joystick Button 43 (the detent position) with, "Warning: selected button input is not recommended for this action". NEITHER of those settings gives me the "on press" / "on release" options like we used in some of the other detent settings...😞 Suggestions???
Cheers, and sorry for being a bit long-winded!
Neil, check through the videos on my channel, there are numerous updates to that original video. Start here ruclips.net/video/n3aSfoWTqC4/видео.html
Thank you for the tutorial, Is there any chance you use the fbw A320? If so could you possibly post a video on how to calibrate the velocity one within the tablet on the aircraft as I have been trying for ages but the reverse thrust is always the issue I have while trying to calibrate my velocity one. Again thanks for the great tutorial, lee.
Hi Mark - excellent video as usual. I'm desperately trying to hang on until the Alpha XPC is released but keep looking at this yoke...however in your full review you were cautious about the lack of friction on the throttle controls and sticky 'feel' on the pitch axis. Just curious how does your yoke now feel after a few months? Any better or worse?? Thanks
No worse, perhaps slightly better….the Alpha I expect will be last quarter 2022 in terms of delivery.
@@SimHangerFS ah brilliant, thanks Mark. I think I’ll press the button and order the current Alpha Bravo then. Top work Sir, thank you.
:10 into this vide it shows the B3-B12 lights turning on and off. It doesn't appear that this is possible even with the latest updates. Anyone know if this part of a future update they've said is coming? I'm guessing the video B-Roll/Stock video from Turtle Beach that SimHanger is using here?
Version 1.5 firmware, button 11 doesn't register at all, only the other 3 detents...
A++++
Hi, thank you for your videos. Just got mine to work on the prop but not on the cj4. By the time the lever reaches the detent, it shows all the way down in the cockpit. Im i doing something wrong or it doesn't work on the cj4? Thank you
First and foremost, thanks for all three videos. The profiles you have created are a great start to get one in the air fast. The problem I am having is with the twin turboprop profile, propeller pitch isn't working properly. It does work properly in other profiles. The axis shows a full range of motion in the controller programmer but in the sim the controller is restricted to the lowest 25% of the range. I can move the pitch full range with the mouse but as soon as I touch the propeller control it jumps back down to the bottom of its range. Thoughts?
Check out this (twin otter) profile….although for the bravo, the mappings are there for you to copy. ruclips.net/video/itxz0HVnzQI/видео.html
Sorry - the last comment got a bit garbled. Should have read:
Thank you for this latest update. I am a novice and might have something wrong here - but I have noticed a problem with the prop feather function. When I apply as suggested, after moving out of detent, the in cabin lever flicks back to the top (minimum pitch). I fixed this by adding an ON RELEASE function to set the pitch to minimum after release. But I might have the original setting running from maximum to minimum rather than minimum to maximum - but if I reverse the axis then the VelocityOne position does not match the in cabin levers?? I'm just not 100% sure what's correct. Perhaps you could explain what the correct settings for pitch are - is the pitch at minimum when the lever is up?
I have also noted that the Xbox version picks up the axis rather than the button click (e.g. axis rather than button 41, 42 etc) whne using detect control. But it works fine if I search for the control and select button 41, 42 etc. rather than use the detect control function.
Thanks
Pitch is maximum when all the way up. MSFS config with Xbox is buggy.
@@SimHangerFS
Thank you for the reply.
So if I have understood properly, the pitch is maximum when it is all the way up, we reduce the pitch as we pull the lever down to the detent position. Then we pull it into detent, the button press triggers hold reverse thrust, and increase pitch. So when we release from detent the pitch is high again. Surely ON RELEASE we need to set the pitch back to minimum otherwise when we move out of detent the simulator will reposition the in cabin propeller lever to the high position that it came out of detent at?
Does it still feel sticky in the pitch axis?
Hi! Thanks for this video!
What a pity! Although I have the VelocityOne with firmware 1.1.0 and the "Training" recognizes all four buttons, my Xbox does not recognize them 😭
Sounds like your update has not completed. It is a problem some have experienced. Check here for more details support.turtlebeach.com/s/article/4416572106779-VelocityOne-Flight-Control-Center-Update-Firmware?language=en_US
Do u have a video of the set up for the DC6
Have done your part 1 & 2 and happy with the results. Can you help
Thank you
This is great, mine arrives tomorrow so your vids will be very helpfull. Isn't it possible you upload the pc profile so we don't have to assign it manually?
Not a simple process and would require editing profiles outside the sim.
@@SimHangerFS Ah ok, I hoped a profile could simply be imported. I'll do it manually then. Thx for making these videos.

Can´t I just assign the button to "toggle throttle reverse thrust" with the PMDG? Can anyone please illuminate how they set this up for the PMDG aircraft?
I entered all of your settings from single basic to 747, and I &ounce a p4oblem
The prop and condition levers fro single advanced to King Air worked in reverse orde and there was NO WAY to check a box for reverse.
In addition, when trying to set say prop on the Bonanza, I get the message (using an Xbox X) “Warning: selected button is not recommended for this action”
The button referred to is JOYSTICK L-Axis 5.
How do I get the Prop and condition levers to show a reverse so that they work in the correct direction?
Right now, I can fly only single engine fixed prop aircraft because the prop levers (I am on an XBox X) work in the reverse direction to what they should and there is no box for “reverse” when selecting prop 1 axis or condition 1 axis.
Please help!
Thank you very much for the video Mark! I've just finished customizing the prop settings and when I move it out of feather and back to the detent it automatically puts the lever at Max instead of staying at the detent?
Make sure you have the correct axis assigned to the prop.
@@SimHangerFS I do have mine set to propeller 1 axis which matches your video. I wonder if something's changed in the recent firmware updates that might explain it? I noticed in your video that you panned the camera towards the blades and away from the levers so I couldn't see how your lever behaved after you moved it back to the detent
I have update 1.1.0 and the prop 1 axis and condition 1 axis do not have the option box to “reverse”, so they both move in the wrong direction and consequently feather and reverse are at the wrong end of the lever movement.
How did YOU get theses to show “reverse” box option?
Also, they both gave warnings: this button is not recommended for this function.
Say what?? These are the same button numbers on my XBox X as you showed on your videos.
Thank you so much for your great videos and for your help.
Hi Ted, not sure what the issue is. I do have the reverse boxes….make sure your V1F is selected from the top menu selection…in your controls option menu. To help you suggest you join my discord, invite in video description, then post your issue in the help-me-posts section. We can then discuss and we can share photos etc. Regards Mark
I have been wondering how to simulate an engine failure in a twin piston airplane with this peripheral. My guess is that we can configure one engine with the levers, and the other with the black, blue and red push-pull controls. Am I on the right track? Please, I am not asking for a detailed answer, unless you want to type details for posterity's sake.
Cut the mixture/fuel flow to one engine.
@@SimHangerFS Using the mouse, I guess, since both engines are bound to the same lever? But if I touch a lever after the "failure", won't both engines react the same way?
Hey, i have followed your tutorials, but when I set up the detent/reverse thrust my throttle lever only moves a tiny bit down not all the way down, what am I doing wrong?
also on another note following your other video, my flaps seem to go only from 21% when its all the way up and 75% when it is all the way down on the quadrant. any ideas?
Make sure all pilot assists are turned off in MSFS
I have set this exactly but my Prop is going to max after I get it out of the detent.
Check calibration.
@@SimHangerFS ??
I followed the instructions but the SIP does nothing. At least not in the Cessna 172 and King Air 350. Ah well... Nontheless, thank you Mark for your video on this - I would have missed the Firmware update otherwise !
Make sure you right click CONNECT and then ON to activate
@@SimHangerFS Thanks a bunch ! I forgot the ON part of it, I must have missed that in the description. The panel works but I find it a bit ... lackluster. I wonder if we will eventually get some configuration tools for it. So that the Autopilot light doesnt blink all the time when the autopilot is OFF etc.. Anyway, thanks again !
Hiya mark, my reverse thruster work in the detention position but it only goes to 5%, is there any way to fix this so it goes to 100%?
Did the sticky bit get any better after use alot of people mention it but never give any updates on if it gets better like turtle beach say
Yes it is better, but not gone.
hi, sorry where is the button 5 and 6 ?
Anyone have luck with the V1F and the TBM 930 after all these updates?
Has anyone been able to set up the prop feathering for a twin turbo prop like the King Air 350? The issue I’m running into is that there is only one “Hold Propellor Reverse Thrust” function. So therefore you can only feather both engines at the same time, not one at a time. This is an issue because if there is an engine failure in flight you don’t want to feather both the working and non working engine.
Check out this config…for Bravo and single engine, but the config for a twin would be the same…prop 1 prop 2 etc. ruclips.net/video/Yv1JRURqqaU/видео.html
I need help?!?! My velocity one controller doesn’t show button 41, 42.. When I scan them it says JoystickL-axis 5+. I made sure it was up to date
Same for me! Please HELP
I downloaded version 1.1.0 and on the Training tab on teh Control Column, it recognised that there was an extra "switch" after you entered the indent on the throttle controls. However, When I went to the setup on my "Twin Turboprop" tab and tried to assign this function, the software would not recognise the indent as a separate function to register Throttle Decrease or Throttle Cut. Are you able to assist.
Unplug and plug back in the V1F. Restart.
@@SimHangerFS Thanks for all your guidance and advice. My settings on a KingAir B200 works well. However, on my daughter's profile, Her KingAir B200 only worked on Reverse Thrust for Throttle 1 whereas the propellor feathering worked OK. Did the unplug-plug routing a number of times. Any furhter advice?
@@trevorabrahams5129 Can only suggest delete the axis assignments and reassign/config. Check no other binding is conflicting with that axis/button
Hello. I think the same thing does not exist for Xbox?
Hey guys, the action for detent at 6:17 does not do anything for me. I have the right firmware and I follow exactly what you says on the video. But moving to detent position does not do anything… what am I doing wrong. It only detects something when sliding up or down. Please HELP!!!😩
There is a problem on some systems with the update. It means your update has hung. There is a recommended fix on the Turtle Beach Simulations discord or forum.

Being following this when pilot083 put it up a week or so ago. It is very very buggy mine will not pick up the buttons 75% of the time at the detent position without unplugging the V1 shutting down the xbox and trying again.
You do need to move into the detent and out again for the button to register correctly. Try that. Hope it helps. The MSFS config is buggy I know.
@@SimHangerFS Thanks pal tried all ways mate sometimes it sees the button other times invisible without mucking about unplugging everything and a reboot of console. Give up and went back to the method 1 in your guide.
@@karlluinen5034 If you are using the XBox version, I found that I had to search for the buttons (button42 etc) rather than detect them - since the detect function only found the xAxis not the buttons. But if you select the buttons from the search function it works fine.

How do we set up the configuration for the tbm 930. I can’t seem to get my prop configuration right
Excuse me, I mean feathering.
Hi, your tip is so helpful to setting my V1F. However, in case of a multi engine (king air 350) prop feathering, both of props go feathering all together. I've tried two individual levers to control each prop's feathering separately but it always work together. How can I make one prop go feathering when the other one is running with V1F levers only without using mouse? (XBOX version)
i already updated my V1F controller to 1.1.0 on xbox series x, yet button 41 and 42 do not appear as an option. Is there a solution to this? Your video on V1F is quite helpful, thanks
Try to see it will update again. After update restart. You can check by using search by input in the controls options menu.
