![]() Today, we have Turtle Beach's VelocityOne Flight yoke to get you started on this journey. This brings us the question, is Microsoft Flight Simulator realistic enough for this movie scene to actually happen in real life, and what would it take for one to learn how to fly from the comfort of their home? The latest version of Microsoft Flight Simulator was raved by professional reviewers and enthusiasts alike since its release for its realism, but if you end up in a situation where you are a passenger on a commercial jet and somehow need to take over to land it like Troy in the movie, then you will need more than just a keyboard and mouse to train. Jackson, eventually they land the plane successfully, but not before struggling to stop the Boeing 747 because Troy usually would have ended the game by that time already. it is not a video game, alright? It is a flight simulator." After an epic facepalm reaction from Samuel L. "Man, I am telling you, them video games got their **** locked down tight." "Sir, are you telling me that your only real flight time is at the controls of a video game?" the ATC controller exasperates. "The Awesome Fighting Aces," Troy answers as he turns to Agent Flynn. F-15's, F-16's, A-10 Warthogs, I have flown all that ****." "Then we are all thankful to have you, sir. "Sir, have you got any experience piloting a jet aircraft?" ATC began. Both pilots were dead, and the two of them as the new pilots started to communicate with air traffic control. Jackson, and Troy, a bodyguard of another passenger on the plane played by Kenan Thompson, took control of the plane to try to land it at Los Angeles International Airport. VelocityOne Flight review unit provided by Turtle Beach.One of my favorite scenes from the 2006 film Snakes on a Plane was near the end of the movie when FBI Agent Neville Flynn, played by Samuel L. I might have been skeptical about Turtle Beach diving into the flight sim game, but clearly the company knows better than I, as it has completely blown me away with this unit and I can’t wait to see what’s next! I’m particularly impressed with just how easy this product is to attach and remove from a desk, making it super portable and fantastic for those who don’t have the room or desire for a full-time flight sim setup living in their home. Though there are competing control systems for PC, prices quickly climb, and so the VelocityOne is a fantastic option for PC players, too. Turtle Beach VelocityOne Flight Review: The final verdictĪt $379.95, Turtle Beach is delivering a ton of functionality that will make Xbox users especially happy. Otherwise, using this product feels great, especially for the price. It’s a shame that this is the weakest point when it comes to feel, as it’s one of the most used parts. These move a little too easily and I’d love the ability to go in and tweak them. The only element where the tension could be better is the throttle system. The trim wheel’s tension is just right and it feels superb in use. Metal is incorporated in the parts that matter most, resulting in smooth movement and an especially great-feeling trim wheel. ![]() Most of these feel great, despite the heavy use of plastic on the outer shell. Though compact, there are many elements that control part of the aircraft. Looking at the number of inputs, the Turtle Beach VelocityOne has a lot going on. ![]() It is ready to go with Microsoft Flight Simulator and even the most novice of users will get up and running (flying?) in 10-15 minutes. With how intimidating units like this can be, to the point of requiring hours of tweaking and learning before enjoyment is finally achieved, I must say Turtle Beach has done an incredible job with accessibility. It’s as plug-in-and-play as it gets with this kind of enthusiast-level peripheral. However, I found that the existing profiles already worked well enough in-game. Despite the small amount of room it takes up, the yoke itself is still large and very comfortable to use, even with my bigger-than-average hands.Ī display on the front of the yoke assists with initial training, showing what each button does and minimizing guesswork, while also helping with rebinding and profile setup. It’s impressively designed and ideal for those who lack room in their gaming space, but still want as many features as possible. Everything is tightly packed together, without being too crowded. In addition to the light weight, the overall compactness of the unit is also worth mentioning. ![]() I could definitely see this being combined with a TV tray for couch-play, even! Compact yet comprehensive It’s quick to attach and remove, making the setup process a breeze. This is always ready and available to loosen or tighten the desk clamps. An included Allen wrench lives in the top of the unit, hidden beneath a magnetic flap. Adding to the portability is the fantastic clamp system. ![]()
