Thrustmaster Reveal - TPR Rudder System

TM Revealed new rudder pedals... made of Steel and Aluminum (I will most likely be getting some foot time with these next week at E3, so standby)

Awww just what we need. Nice find buddy

Looking forward to your review, I’m definitely interested.

Exactly can't wait for your impressions - looks really promising on the pic

They look really good, bit like a cross between F-16 and 737 pedals.

Perfect timing, my Saitek Pro combat pedals have sand in them and dont work smoothly anymore.

These look really cool. Can't wait to see how to work exactly and if they must be mounted or something. :thumbup:

May have found a replacement for my dodgy CH Pro Pedals...

Wow, thanks for the heads up.... my wallet hurts already cause I was looking for new pedals!

Soooo looking forward to this.

HEART (HALL) sensor in this TPR

Thrustmaster should send me a set to test head-to-head against the holy grails (Slaw's) :music_whistling:

Not required, but is recommended. There are holes on the base plate for mounting.

Wonder if they offer a proper damping mechanism?

This is certainly interesting, I would not have thought they would do something like that. Good move on their part.

I myself am very happy with my Crosswinds so I likely would not be interested, but nice to have an option like this.

They look really nice but recent products from Thrustmaster's racing line have had silly price tags

These are mechanically very similar to the very high end pedals I like. If the quality is there and the price isn't over the top, I just might retire my ever-lasting Saitek Pro Pedals. The super expensive ones that I like even replicate the little handle you turn to adjust the pedal reach to match your leg length. My application is for mimicking an F-4 Phantom setup, and these look close enough to save me a ton of money compared to the other ones I have been looking at.

If they are 299 or less US dollars then it is a day one buy for me.

This is certainly interesting, I would not have thought they would do something like that.

In fact they teased a new pedal for 2018/19 in E3 2016:

And a new HOTAS for 2020/21. F18? :)

Looks like leg movements are independent from each other? Not sure I like that.

If I was to buy new pedals I would want hall sensors, with hydraulic dampers no springs or pots, must have toe brakes.

At what price point? Sim racing pedals with real hydraulics are generally $1000+.

I myself am very happy with my Crosswinds so I likely would not be interested, but nice to have an option like this.

My Crosswinds will arrive 3 weeks from now, so sorry TM. But a decent new Throttle though... :music_whistling:

Looks like leg movements are independent from each other? Not sure I like that.

Is not, the turnbuckles in the inverted 'L' piece at each side are linked to an horizontal bar behind pedals, so pedals move together, in opposite directions.

If I was to buy new pedals I would want hall sensors, with hydraulic dampers no springs or pots, must have toe brakes.

TPR pedals use what Tm call H.E.A.R.T. (HALL EFFECT ACCURATE TECHNOLOGY) in all three axes - rudder and brakes, see in their PR.

This pedal is inspired in airlines pedals - GA market (FSX, X-Plane...) is bigger than CFS (IL-2's, DCS...) market, but P-51, P-47 pedals use similar geometry.

Hopefully will be able to use these new pedals in TARGET so that I'll be able to combine my TM gear into one controller to play some older games like Freespace Open.:)
