I would recommend the Kensington Expert Trackball over thte Simblade Pro. You can click anywhere on one of the large four buttons. Also, the scroll wheel works great. It uses the same software for programming. The Simblade Pro does look a lot prettier though.

Sorry, but this is in the wrong forum. Yaw 3 is not made by RealSimulator.

One issue I encountered in attaching it to the Monstertech mount plate for the Warthog/AVA is that the two holes on the right side of the AVA that match the Warhog holes are partially blocked by some of the inside parts of the AVA. Please see attached image. A screw can only go in about 3/16 of an inch before hitting the internal part. That is much shorter than the screws Monstertech supplies with the mount plate. I've reached out to Monstertech to see if they are going to be providing shorter screws for the AVA or producing a new base plate for the AVA.

Just an update: I received instructions from Slaw via email. And was able to complete the calibration. Had to set the center dead zone at 5.0 for the rudder axis and the upper dead zones for the brakes at 2.5. All working fine now. Also an updated video with the new software is supposed to be posted on youtube in a few days. Appreciate the good service Slaw provides.

Just received these pedals and am having problems with the calibration. Dummy that I am, I can't figure out the proper sequence in calibrating the pedals. No instructions were give given and can't find any on Slaw's web page and the video on his youtube channel only shows an older version of his calibration software. Have made several attempts and the brake axis are fine but the rudder axis centering is off even with a 4.5% deadzone. Have attached image of calibration screen. Hopefully someone here who already has these pedals can help me figure out what to do. Thanks!

Both are very good. But I agree with Guppy. If I could only pick one it would be the TPR.

Good luck. Expect a long wait even if they do go back in production. My order shipped on May 7 and still have not received it. Latest tracking info showed it left Netherlands on May 11.:mad:

Finally had a chance to check this out on the WIN 10Pro computer that has my Thrustmaster gear on it. I don't see a problem with displaying controllers in the TARGET Device Analyzer. Please see attached images. Image #1 shows the device analyzer. Image #2 Shows a Win10 update I still have not installed. Image #3 Shows recently installed updates. I have all but the rudder pedals plugged into a USB 2 10 port powered hub. The pedals are plugged into a Inateck Superspeed 7 Ports PCI-E to USB 3.0 Expansion Card. Edited: Just want to add that I went ahead and updated to the latest version of Win10 and still see all controllers in the Device Analyzer. So looks like my original thought that this issue might be related to different versions of Win10 was wrong.

I would agree. If moving up from CH or TM entry level pedals, this would be the next best step.

To each their own. I would never get rudder pedals without toe brakes.

Would second that. Especially if one lives in the US. Currently selling for $118 on amazon. The VKB pedals with shipping cost $268.

Maybe it would be helpful to see if this issue is tied to a particular version of Win10.

Slaw's latest model is the RF Dora V2.: Total cost including shipping to US was just over $570. Received a set a few weeks ago. Now my favorite pedals.

Order #3277 arrived. Had ordered two. Both installed and working great. No issues with the calibration. Would highly recommend.:thumbup: Didn't have any issue removing old sensors. But I did have a problem with one of the installations: the wires running up into the joystick handle came loose from the board. Had to take off bottom of throttle and pull the wires further up into the handle so that I could plug them back into the board. Have attached image of the wires after I pulled them further into the handle.

Hi Merrek, Thanks for sharing that. Considering your affection for the F-16, have you taken a look at the Realsimulator F16SGRH? It can also be used with the TM Magnetic Base. Or with their FSSB R3L base.
