Flight Simulator Hardware for Console
Upgrade Your Experience with Xbox Flight Simulator Controls
Microsoft Flight Simulator on Xbox delivers an exhilarating and immersive experience, combining stunningly realistic graphics with the intricate details of aviation.
If you're looking to upgrade your flight experience upgrading from your traditional Xbox controller to a joystick or yoke system truly transforms your gameplay. Flight Simulator hardware provide a more precise and realistic handling of your virtual aircraft in comparison to you Xbox controller. Investing in specialized hardware not only elevates your gaming experience but also immerses you fully in the detailed and challenging world of Microsoft Flight Simulator. You’ll experience the skies with unparalleled authenticity and control, far beyond what standard controllers can offer.
Whether you choose a VelocityOne Flightstick (joystick) or VelocityOne Flight Control System (yoke), you're choosing a full set of flight controls.
With both controllers, you can access a set of full flight controls for Xbox Series X|S, including throttle(s) and rudder.
Looking to add extra realism to your simulator? Then you can add the VelocityOne Rudder to your setup as well.
Please note: your VelocityOne Rudder must be connected through your Turtle Beach flight controller to make it compatible with Xbox.
Our most sold Flight Yoke and Throttle Quadrant are now available for use on Xbox Series X|S as well! Enjoy the precision and versatility of Honeycomb's award-winning Alpha Flight Controls and Bravo Throttle Quadrant while soaring to the sky in your favorite airplane.
Please note: in order to make your Bravo Throttle Quadrant and Charlie Rudder Pedals compatible with Xbox Series X|S you need to connect them via the Honeycomb Xbox Hub and Alpha XPC.
Want to experience the thrill of realistic controlling an Airbus or Boeing aircraft?
Then, the Thrustmaster TCA-series is your hardware of choice. The Thrustmaster TCA-series flight controllers are for flight simulator-adjusted replicas for Xbox (and PC) to make your virtual flights as realistic and immersive as possible.
Please note: to make an additional throttle quadrant or rudder pedals work with Xbox Series X|S, you need to connect them directly to an Xbox-compatible flight stick or yoke.
Transitioning from a standard Xbox controller to specialized flight simulator hardware can significantly enhance your flight simulation experience. Devices like the Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas One, or Turtle Beach VelocityOne Flightstick, provide more precise control, better immersion, and access to advanced features that standard controllers lack. This hardware mimics real aircraft controls, making your flight simulations more realistic and enjoyable.
A joystick or a yoke is essential hardware for controlling your airplane in Flight Simulator.
A joystick is typically used in some GA (General Aviation) aircraft, different airliners (such as Airbus), fighter planes, and helicopters. A yoke is typical in most GA aircraft (like Cessna's) and airliners (such as Boeing or Bombardier).
If you prefer to fly aircraft controlled by a stick, choose a joystick; if you prefer those controlled by a yoke, opt for a yoke. If you're undecided, a joystick is a great starting point due to its versatility.
When selecting your Xbox Flight Simulator controls you need to be aware that different brands are not compatible with each other, unlike on PC.
Setting up your flight controls on Xbox is easy. Set your joystick or yoke to Xbox mode (how this is done depends on your controller), connect it to a free USB port on your Xbox Series X|S, and you're ready to fly. Any other peripherals, such as rudder pedals or a throttle quadrant, must be connected directly to the primary flight controller (joystick or yoke) or to a device connected to the primary flight controller.

Unfortunately, for those flying on Playstation and looking for a Playstation Joystick, there aren't many options, only three flight sticks are compatible with Playstation.
