Thrustmaster TFRP Flight Rudder Pedals – Realistic Aviation Control for Flight Simulators (Compatible with PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 5)

In MSFS 2020 I fly jets primarily with heavy use of the autopilot systems. So other than taxiing, takeoff, and landing I really have little use for rudders. Having said that I really DO need a decent rudder/braking system as good takeoffs and landings are pretty desirable parts of any trip. I was very tempted to go high end in the $300+ area, since my first cheap brand failed unexpectedly after a two year life. After too much thought and research I decided to give these $129 TFRP rudders a try. These pedals exceed all of my expectations. They are totally plug and play in a PC for MSFS 2020. They are very smooth, linear, quiet, and they get the job done. I am sure if you stepped up to the Velocity One or others in the $300+ category, you would probably find things that appeal to you. I am a general aviation pilot, and these TFRP rudders won't feel anything like a real airplane's rudder/toe-brake system, but functionally they do very well. If you want it all you will need to shell out some really big bucks and also make sure it all fits into your sim area.

These pedals are nice and large, my enormous feet fit on them with no issues. They are grippy, so they don't slide around. My PC picked them up right away when they were plugged in and configuration was a breeze. The axis seem to be fairly sensitive, but I was able to deaden that out a little bit in my configuration settings.

For the price point these pedals perform admirably and are of sturdy construction. I had no issues getting them setup, just plug them in and configure the settings in your game. They stick to the carpet well enough for their weight, they don't slide around on me under normal use. The rudder action is smooth and consistent, same with the toe brakes.My only gripe with them is that they are a little too close together. I don't have significant issues with that, but there is sometimes a slight "hip/knee-fatigue" for me after long flights. If you're someone (especially a guy, cough cough) with bigger thighs you may want to consider a wider set of pedals. That's not a problem with me, but I can see it being a problem for others. If these were about an inch or so wider they would be perfect.I worried a lot about the width concern when I was making a purchasing decision, but after buying the pedals and experiencing them myself I really don't think it's that big of a deal, especially with the cost of the pedals and their otherwise great performance. If you are very price-sensitive with your pedal needs, don't let the narrow width discourage you. I would absolutely buy these again with the same budget and what I know now.

I bought this last week despite a lot of bad press. They were cheap and plastic, they were too narrow, they were far too light - there was no end to how lousy they were. OK, there is a lot of plastic in them, but to me they do not feel cheap or flimsy. You can push on the plastic but it does not deform. For $80 or so you ain't going to get machined alloy. There are square rubber feet on each corner that grab the floor (wooden floor) solidly and there is no way the unit can move during use. The pedals are very strong and comfortable. I use them with socks on and there is adequate room, on them and between them. There is about 18cm between centre-lines of the pedals, and each pedal is about 11cm wide in the middle. They are about as wide apart, centre to centre, as a piper cherokee I have flown - an actual one. I suspect that a lot of the noise about them being cramped is from people who have not seen them, let alone used them. The pedals run parallel on metal rails, more or less silently, and very smoothly. You can unscrew the heel rests and use them with your heels on the floor, more like a real plane. I tried both, but prefer the rests in place. I placed the unit such that my legs were pretty much extended and got fine and easy movement in the pedals. I use them for Rise of Flight (WW1) so cannot comment on the brakes. I think that for $89 these are excellent pedals - quiet, smooth and solid - and I am really happy with them.

After finally getting the right product, they worked great.

Been a long time since we ordered it. Some others have broken seems to be well made

I bought these 4 months ago. For the first two months, they worked great. The third month started showing yaw control irregularities. I found that before using them, moving them back and forth a couple of times seemed to fix the issue. Now, the yaw/rudder issue has progressed to the point where they will randomly display as fully deployed to the right or left. You cannot control the plane (it has caused several crashes). I have turned them off.At a purchase price of $129 and life of 4 months, that works out to $32.50 a month.At this point, I will no longer consider (or recommend) anything with the Thrustmaster name. The quality is very low. I will be looking to purchase a different make of pedals.

I actually have a thrustmaster warthog setup along with Foxx Mounts, so I know what it's like to invest big bucks on sim stuff. I wanted a pedal system but did NOT want to fork out hundreds more on something I barely use. In DCS you're only using pedals during emergencies, landings, and take-offs. For $89 I got a great solution that allows me rudder control, ground steering and braking, without breaking the bank. As others have said NO ONE should be expecting this thing to be CNC machined metal. The plastic makes it light weight and there's no issue with durability that I've seen. You gotta play with the settings in your game a bit and make sure the axis are set up to your liking but that's any pedal system.I will say that YES the spacing of the pedals is close together and it can be uncomfortable to leave your feet there all the time, but again, I don't need to. They are very compact, tidy, and do not weight 20lb or take up a huge area. If you're on a budget, or just don't feel any need to buy super expensive fancy pedals, then grab these. But if you want machined metal, and advanced features, or are in need of pedals that you use very frequently in your game, you may want to look at other options too.
