Velocity one flight stick - absolute beginner

Just set up my new stick

Which devices do I need ?

At the moment on series x i have xbox controller, mouse and flightstick

Is that correct ?

Also I cannot find a way of adjusting rudder on the velocity one flightstick

On x box controller it is left and right triggers

What is the default way to change rudder on flight stick joystick ?

On the control options it says joystick l-axis 2 for rudder axis - dont know what this means

I dont have pedals - just the joystick only

Thanks

What you have is called a “twist grip” joystick. If you twist the stick left or right that is your rudder. Check with this forum thread with other V1 Flight stick users, they can be a lot of help.

As well you can “search by input” in the controls menu. Click that search bar and twist the joystick one way and it will show you what it is mapped to.

I have tried twisting the stick left and right - the rudder does not work

What i have to do is engine and throttle up up on the stick which is my top left lever and then press B to release brakes

And I have to usd the trigger buttons on the controller to use the rudder - as nothing works on the stick

Sounds like your rudder is not mapped. Or you’re not in the correct profile for the controller. Make sure it’s not in “rudder mode” on the stick that is for use with pedals… hmmm sounds like a tricky one. I would create a new controller profile and try to add rudder inputs on an axis manually.

Can I assign something on the stick as a rudder

Yes the twist left or right should be mapped to your rudder. Search by input. Or search by “rudder” then map the twist axis left, then right.

Not sure how I set rudder on flight stick

I go to controls options first…

Yup control options. And on the left side of that page you will see different search bars. One for finding an option by typing a term like rudders or aileron. And one search bar for map by input, where you click and then make an input on the stick and it shows you what is mapped to.

On the top of the page is the controller profiles you can switch. As well you can create a new profile or copy one to work from.

Maybe watch a YouTube video on controller profiles and mapping. I’m sure there is one out there. :blush:

Found this one. Looks pretty good.

I just got the VelocityOne flightstick(Xbox) , all seems nice but I can’t seem to map the twisting of the stick to the rudder… any tips?

Basically when I scan for rudder input and twist the stick nothing is discovered…

From the stick, “rudder lock” is off.
Firmware updated to the latest too :sob:

Does anyone map the speed break to one of the axis sliders, trying to work out if its possible and how to do it, as in arming the speed break as well increasing/decreasing when needed.
