I've just successfully configured the VelocityOne Flight Yoke in X-Plane 12 and it is working just as expected, but now every time I launch the sim I get a BE ADVISED message:

Error reading joystick configuration (.joy) file:

Resources/joystick configs/VelocityOneFlightYoke - Windows.joy

Errors were:

Unknown axis (Axis 3)
Unknown axis (Axis 4)
Unknown axis (Axis 5)
Unknown axis (Axis 6)
Unknown axis (Axis 7)
Unknown button (Button 20)
Unknown button (Button 21)
Unknown button (Button 22)
Unknown button (Button 23)
Unknown button (Button 24)
Unknown button (Button 25)
Unknown button (Button 26)
Unknown button (Button 27)
Unknown button (Button 28)
Unknown button (Button 29)
Unknown button (Button 30)
Unknown button (Button 31)
Unknown button (Button 32)

Looking at the in-sim control setup, the unknown axes and unknown buttons are not shown so don't seem to exist.

I'm not sure if it's related but there doesn't seem to be any image of either the yoke or throttle in X-Plane, even though the pictures for it do exist in the joystick configs folder.

Any help would be appreciated as clearly something is not quite right!

Title update

Hello Luke, I only took delivery of mine yesterday, so I'm no expert.

However, have you checked that the input is for PC and not XBox, that was a mistake I made.

Also, when you update the firmware, you have to change the input over to XBox prior to the update and then back to PC.

 

Good Luck!

Phil

Hi Phil, thanks for your message. I have checked both of these points and it is/was set up correctly.

I’ve not had mine long either but have been using it successfully with MSFS and it works quite happily once X-Plane is running. Just the message on XP12 start-up suggesting that something’s wrong ‘under the hood’.

Sorry Luke, I wouldn't know what to try next.

I only fly XP and I don't have the problems that you are getting.

Perhaps your best bet would be to contact Turtle Beach about it?  https://support.turtlebeach.com/s/contactsupport

I have now been able to solve the problem by looking through the Turtle Beach support pages and learning that for X-Plane the 'PC' mode is not recommended and that the 'Legacy PC' modes are what should be used. These have removed the error messages and the product images now also appear with the sim's joystick set up, so all is solved.

Thanks again for the replies.

Luke

 

I'm glad that you have got it sorted.

It's strange though, I'm just running standard pc on mine without those problems, win 11 xp12.

They're strange things computers, they'll never catch on!

Best....  Phil
