As an FYI in real life and as these are designed - You rest your heels on the floor - And only come up on the pedals when braking is needed. They will be less touchy when you use the finer muscle control of your ankles and not your valves/hamstrings.
Yeah, I LOVE these rudder pedals. And you definitely get what you pay for. I have thought about adjusting the response curve on the brakes and the rudder controls as they almost seem a little too sensitive. But I’ve been extremely happy with mine. I’ve had them for about 6 months ISH now. Thanks for the comment!
Hey Richard. You are correct, these are awesome. Regarding the price, you definitely get what you pay for with these. I have had them on my flight sim for over a year and absolutely love them. Like you, I also have a Mac Studio running X-Plane 12. I found that I had to use the XP response curve in order to get the braking pressure adjusted the way I like it. Also I bolted them to my sim to keep them in place. They have performed flawlessly since installed. Great video!
I ran nothing but Macs for 10 years, because that’s what my wife wanted, and at the time I couldn’t afford two computers. Now I can, and once I bought a PC for myself I would never go back to simming on a Mac. Apple pretty much abandoned the desktop computer market and is only focusing on the iPhone and iPad, since they sell far more of those. With a PC, you get far more sims available, greater compatibility with hardware such as this, and much better performance for your money.
Nice Review, thank you. All that thought and engineering design and yet they put a standard connector socket lead on the back. Which is great if you set it up and never ever have to move them are get near the lead, but I'd of thought they'd of designed a better solution whilst they were on an over engineering kick, or at least something where the cable was secured into position.
Excellent point. The only other thing is they really need to be bolted down. Otherwise, they WILL move. Thanks for watching and thanks for the excellent comment.
These are fantastic for helicopters if you remove the springs and add a damper. You can rest your feet on the floor and control the anti torque with the balls of your feet or even just your big toes.
Nice review Sir.Have been thinking of upgrading to TPR .My sim set up is on a table and I sit on a computer chair,how would TPR pedals work keeping in mind that I am not sitting low but perhaps little higher compared to your set up.Kind regards.
Should work fine. Just remember you’ll have to “bolt” them down somehow or they will slide. But other than that, HIGHLY recommend them. Thanks so much for the kind words.
Hi I will buy this product soon I need to know do they flip or move on the ground not bolted?? Ive seen in another video that the weight and larger shape on the back makes them super stable even with heavy use even not bolted on. Thanks
@@WingITFlightSim yea!! My thrustmaster 16000m kit with the plastic rudder of them have served me since 2015 in Il2 great battles every days I need to retire them Its my 1st pro kit
I don't know... 5/6 years ago when it first came out, it would be ok, but now for the price, the TPR seems totally outdated with the competition for adjustability and footprints (MFG, VKB, Virpil, Winwing) or in terms of build and Force feedback (Brunner, FI).
It might have something to do with the price tag for Prepar3d, which is currently $350 US as I write this. It’s definitely a niche product among niche products.
@@singleproppilot mmmmm, well……yes the Pro (commercial licence) is $350 but the private, home user, price is $59.99, which is around $20 cheaper then, say, X-Plane, and cheaper then MSFS……..so not sure that argument is really valid!

Thanks for the tip! And the comment! 🙂

I will second all your comments, had mine for 18months and they are so realistic, probably the best pedals on the market.
Couldn't agree more! Love ‘em!

Thanks so much. Yeah, these things are amazing. And I love the response curve setting in X-plane- really lets you customize the feel of your aircraft.

Great review and video production quality. I'm surprised you only have 564 subscribers.
Thanks so much! We just started less than a year ago. We do this for fun though, not $$.

I don’t fly helicopters. WAY too difficult. 🤣
But these are amazing rudder pedals. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching.
@@WingITFlightSim It is never too late to try, its just a sim so not too dangerous🤣 I started about a a year ago at the age of 70.
Good review! Wish I had the money :D
Work hard. Keep a positive attitude and you will have the money someday 🙂
Thanks for the comment.

It does move. I would recommend bolting it down somehow. If that’s not possible, maybe push it against a wall or something.
@@WingITFlightSim Ok thanks I have my flight seat comming this May with my extended 8" ww2 Luftwaffe joystick so it will be bolted then.
You will LOVE these rudder pedals!

Thanks for the comment. I’ll look at those others- definitely worth checking out. But I do love the TPR’s.
Just curious……why do reviewers these days leave off mentioning Prepard3d……..has LM become persona no gratis??
I left it out simply because I don’t use it. No nefarious reason or intention. 😂
