Anybody tried the new thrustmaster pedals?

To be honest I have the grey/white version and wish I had the black ones. MMMMM black.

 

Just bought this today:

Now I'm eager for those to come ^^

I own the TFRP rudder pedals and can recommend them if you don't have the money for the more advanced ones.

I've been using my sim racing pedals with UJR/vJoy for a while now for rudders, but just caved and bought the Thrustmasters. Having never used any rudder pedals before (but having the best of the best sim racing pedals) I'm pleased with the Thrustmasters after about 30 minutes of flying. Control seems great- MUCH better than the UJR setup I had going on. The pedals match up with their cost as far as I'm concerned, and that is enough to satisfy me. Hopefully they last a while. I'm a complete sucker for solid metal designs of any sim gear, but given the amount I fly and the fact I had never tried actual rudders before I wasn't keen to spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars and time to try a really good set. These fit entry level category for sure, but I don't exactly see why they wouldn't satisfy more experienced aviators either.

 

As for getting them to work with the Warthog Hotas - I had an initial problem with it as well. I could have the pedals plugged in or the throttle plugged in - not both. If I had both plugged in the throttle would turn off, or the pedals would turn off/not register. This was without the drivers or anything though, just plug and play. I downloaded the drivers for the pedals and also the adapter calibration tool (it's under the same page I got the drivers from) from the Thrustmaster website and once I did that and ran the cal tool everything played nicely with one another at least for this virgin flight.

I concur, just bought it yesterday and couldn't be happier about it considering its price. Now I'm relearning how to fly KA-50 and Gazelle effectively with the rudder. Its take time to getting used to it tho...
