News by Tom Phillips Deputy Editor Updated on 15 Jun 2021 8 comments The beautiful Microsoft Flight Simulator is, touch wood, the closest I'll get to flying a plane. But could it be more immersive? It turns out, for $350 (about £250), it probably could. Peripheral manufacturer Turtle Beach has announced the VelocityOne Flight system: a yoke handle and lever control set meant to work with Microsoft Flight Simulator on either Xbox or PC. Watch on YouTube As well as all manner of physical switches and buttons, some of which can be mapped to custom controls, there's also an LCD display panel to show flight stats.
