Frequently Asked Questions
Which flight simulators does the Turtle Beach VelocityOne Flightdeck work with?
The Flightdeck is built for major PC flight and space sims. It supports Microsoft Flight Simulator, DCS World, X-Plane, and Star Citizen. Its modular design suits both civilian aviation and combat missions, and with 139 programmable buttons across physical and virtual inputs, you can map controls to fit nearly any simulator in your library.
Does the VelocityOne Flightdeck work on Xbox, or is it PC only?
This is the PC version of the Flightdeck. It is compatible with Windows 10 and 11 PCs and is a PC HOTAS controller. If you fly primarily on a Windows desktop or laptop, it is designed to integrate directly with your system and popular flight simulation software.
How does the Flightdeck connect to my computer, and what do I need to run it?
The Flightdeck is compatible with Windows 10 and 11 PCs and integrates with popular flight simulation software. Configuration runs through the Flight Hangar companion app, which handles firmware updates, RGB lighting customization, and profile management across your sim library. You can set up profiles per aircraft or game so your buttons and axes behave the way each title expects.
Is the Flightdeck one combined unit, or a separate stick and throttle?
The Flightdeck is a HOTAS system, meaning hands on throttle and stick. It pairs a combat-ready modular stick with a customizable throttle system that adapts to your preferred aircraft type. The modular design suits both civilian aviation and intense combat missions, so you can tailor the layout to the kind of flying each session calls for.
What is the Flight Touch Display and the OLED HUD on the Flightdeck?
The Flightdeck introduces the world's first integrated Flight Touch Display, a touchscreen that puts critical flight data and 39 additional virtual controls at your fingertips. It also features a customizable OLED head-up display. Together they let you read key information and trigger extra functions without reaching for a keyboard, keeping your hands on the stick and throttle.
How many programmable buttons does the Flightdeck have?
The Flightdeck offers 139 programmable buttons spanning both physical and virtual inputs for extreme customization. That count includes the 39 virtual controls available through the integrated Flight Touch Display. With this many mappable inputs, you can assign almost every function a simulator exposes without leaning on your keyboard during flight.
What are Hall-effect sensors and why do they matter on this controller?
The Flightdeck uses magnetic Hall-effect sensors on its main movement controls. These sensors are contactless, so the moving parts do not wear against each other the way traditional potentiometer designs do. That contactless approach provides surgical accuracy and is built to outlast traditional systems, helping the stick and throttle stay precise through countless flight hours.
What is the Flight Hangar app and can I customize the RGB lighting?
Flight Hangar is the companion app that configures the Flightdeck. It handles firmware updates, RGB lighting customization, and profile management across your flight simulation library. You can adjust the lighting to your taste and build per-aircraft or per-game profiles, then keep the controller current as new firmware is released, all from one place.
Can I plug a headset into the Flightdeck and use Turtle Beach audio features?
Yes. The Flightdeck integrates the renowned Turtle Beach Audio Advantage, so you can connect any 3.5mm headset directly to the controller. You then get access to advanced audio features such as Superhuman Hearing for enhanced situational awareness during critical flight phases, keeping your audio gear connected at the same hub as your flight controls.
Who is the Flightdeck designed for?
The Flightdeck Ultimate is the pinnacle of PC flight sim HOTAS engineering, designed for enthusiasts who demand professional-grade precision and control. With 139 programmable buttons, a Flight Touch Display, and a modular stick, it rewards pilots who want deep customization across titles like Microsoft Flight Simulator, DCS World, X-Plane, and Star Citizen.
