Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 was cleared for takeoff today, and if you’re an Xbox Game Pass member, you’ll find it’s now available in your library. To bring the game to the next level, consider pairing it with a flight stick to make the simulator more realistic. These are usually quite expensive, but a handful of popular flight sticks are discounted at Amazon ahead of Black Friday.
The most affordable flight stick on sale is the Turtle Beach Velocity One Flight Stick, as it’s now just $97 (was $130). Along with a sleek design, it offers customizable throttle and flap levers, 27 programmable buttons, eight axes, an integrated OLED flight management display, and some flashy RGB lighting. It’s designed specifically for Xbox, though it’ll also work on PC.
For a more premium option, there’s Turtle Beach’s Velocity One Flight Deck System. Featuring both a joystick and throttle, you’ll have a staggering 139 programmable buttons, contactless Hall Effect controls, a customizable OLED display, and adjustable haptic feedback settings. It’s currently seeing a nice $100 discount, so take a look at the high-end gadget while it’s on sale.
