Hello everyone. I need support because I don’t know where to start to resolve my proble.

Situation

On november 24, 2025, Navigraph (third party) offer to get pilote lessons through their platform using Microsoft flight simulator as the main software to pilot the virtual aircraft. At the end of all the lessons, the student have to pass the final exam in the way to get virtual private pilot licence.

Before getting to the first lessson, the user have to adjust the settings of MSFS (2020 in my case) According to the Navigraph team, those settings are probably the most important thing to do before going further in the lessons.

Those settings are located to control options, cockpit options and assistance options of MSFS.

My main issue came with the first lesson where the user have to pratice leveling the plane combined with right and left turns. During this lesson, the plane is already in flight above Miami, Florida, USA. All assistance option are set to HARD and few instruments are visible to the pilot. The idea is to force the pilot to use the visual dimension as point of reference. Finally, considering the interdependance between the dashboard and the horizon.

In this lesson, it is really really hard for me to stabilize the atltitude first. It was like the feeling of a lot of turbulence over Miami region. In addition to the problem, the plane is swigging right left giving the feeling that the rudder is loose or always moving in both side. After 4 or 5 minutes of swingging in both ways, I wasn’t able to continu the use of the simulator beacause I was almost sick to see what was going on the screen.

Realizing the situation, I decide to return to my default setup with my sim and it was a mess. I got really hard time to understand what was going on. Many hours to stabilize the situation and I was exasperated in front of my computer seeing all the trouble I was getting with this third party sotware.

After reading the VelocityOne documentation and support on Turtle beach web site, I have noticed this paragraph maybe important :

« 6, Familiarize yourself with the buttons and controls. You can find a full breakdown of what each button and control does – for the Default profile (active out of the box), but also for the two other profiles initially available – here. Those profiles are: Default Mode, Single-Engine Prop, and Twin-Engine Jet.

PLEASE NOTE: In the Microsoft Flight Simulator menus, make sure the profile selected is the correct profile you want to use – and that the profiles in both the Flight Simulator menu and on the VelocityOne Flight itself match.

You can also select a specific profile using the FMD, and then enter the Training Mode to see in real-time what each button does – once you are in the Training Mode, whenever you press a button or otherwise engage a control on the VelocityOne, the FMD will show what that feature that button is assigned to control. »

At this point, I decided to delete the few customized profils on VelocityOne yoke, cadrant (quad) and the rudder. After those modifications, all those 3 modules were set to the default profil established by Turtle beach. On VelocityOne, the flight management display (FMD) was ok for the profil (single engine-prop) and it was set like this since the beginning of this adventure. With those modifications, the simulator start to stabilize on normal use without using Navigraph lesson.

Questions remain with those default profils.

When using Navigraph software, we must adjust setting in the controls options. Doing that, force the user to create a new profil that is not visible on the FMD. How do I match the profil on the yoke and the simulator? Or maybe, I have to leave those controls options unchanged to make things work.

Do I must understand there are only 3 profils available on the yoke and creating a new one on the simulator won’t be recognized on the yoke and will create disfunctions?

What about binding keys modifications? Will works?

I don’t blame any person on this problem but I just try to understand.

Thanks for your support

Hi Andre,

I have the same hardware (Turtle beach VelocityOne flight + SIP & Turtle beach rudder pedals).

From my experience, the Turtle Beach instructions that come with the products appear to be for MSFS 2020, not MSFS 2024.

If using the one of the three controller profiles provided by Turtle Beach (Default, Single Engine, Twin Engine) in 2024, then set the profile in the Yokes’ Flight Management Display (FMD) to match.

If you have created custom controller profile(s) within MSFS 2024, then the profile setting in the FMD does not seem to matter - just ensure the custom in-game profile(s) are active for the aircraft that you want to fly. Your modifications should work. For example, the attached file is an Open Office spreadsheet that shows how I have configured the Yoke, Throttle and Rudder device settings in 2024. Just remove the .txt extension and the Velocity One Settings.ods should be viewable in most spreadsheet applications.

Hope this helps!

Hello

I am using MSFS 2020. So, if I understand, it would be easier to set the profils with MSFS 2024 ?

Thanks

My bad - I didn’t notice the msfs-2020 tag.

I would not say that creating device profiles in 2024 is easier (there are a number of topics in the forum that discuss this). It took me about six hours to create all my custom profiles - most of that time was configuring camera views for the various cameras (cockpit, external, drone, slew, character).

There’s really no correlation between the profiles on the yoke and those in the sim. I just set the yoke to either single engine prop or twin engine jet depending upon what I’m flying. I don’t remember what this even does to be honest. I think it may have to do with how the throttle, flaps and spoiler levers are treated.

What matters is the profiles you have setup in the sim. It doesn’t matter what you call them or how many of them you have. Just so long as you have the commands mapped to the controls you want, that’s all that matters. Just map it to match whichever profile you currently have set on the yoke and then always pair that one with the one in the sim.

For example, I have 3 different sim profiles set up for different single engine prop planes. But they all are set up for the single engine prop profile on the yoke. If I were to change the yoke to multi engine jet, it probably wouldn’t work right.

thanks you for the information.

I think I am going to gather the maximum information I can to try different scenarios and see the reaction. A email was sent to Turtle beach this morning asking them more information how Velocityone interact with the simulator. Same for Navigraph.

This afternoon, I made a couple of test with Navigraph lessons (in single engine prop -default) default profile on the simulator, cockpit with modified settings according to Navigraph, but no assistance options were activated (all in easy mode)

The 2 lessons were good and the simulator was acting ok

Next step will be enabling the assistance options gradually (easy to hard according to Navigraph settings)
