Looking for Rudder Pedal Recommendations

[Ozz13]

Ordered the Warthog, yay. Need to now order pedals. Any suggestions? I don't know how important quality is as they seem to be fairly simple input for a singular action. I'm probably wrong. Any knowledge that you can share is greatly appreciated!

[Ozz13]

Besides the crosswords :D. If pedals prove to be as outstanding as I've read I'll order these down the road.. from what I read i should just get on the waiting list now.

 

I'm looking at this: Thrustmaster T.Flight Rudder Pedals

 

Basically in the $100 to $200 range

I had Saiteks, now have MFG Crosswinds. The difference isn't describable. You can't go wrong with MFG.

I'd Just go for the crosswinds and if you need a way of mounting all of your new toys, the wheelstand pro is well worth a look.

mfg crosswinds

Of course, there is no doubt that the Crosswinds are probably the best quality pedals out there, however, if you - like me - couldn't justify paying £300 for pedals, then I highly recommend the Thustmaster TFRP pedals http://www.thrustmaster.com/en_UK/products/tflight-rudder-pedals

I bought mine over a year ago, and they have served me very well. With all the practising I did with the Spitfire take off and landings, I can assure you they got a real bashing!

Not the same build quality as the Crosswinds (obviously!) but an excellent buy for around £75.

I have the Warthog too along with the Thrustmaster TFRP Pedals. The TFRP pedals work well and does the job. However, I recently bought the Wheelstand Pro Warthog Deluxe V2 and I have center mounted the joystick (with 15cm extensions and between the legs) making the TFRP a bit difficult as the left and right pedals are about only an inch and a half apart are very close together. I have my Crosswinds arriving in a few weeks.

 

So if you don't plan to center mount, the TFRP works well. But if you do plan to center mount (which takes the Warthog to a whole new level, especially with extensions), I suggest the Crosswinds, or if you have cash to burn and don't mind the longer wait, the Slaw Viper RX.

Thanks all. Im going with the TFRP while waiting for the crosswinds.

 

Also, thanks for the wheelstand info!

I'm a bit late, but definitely a good choice and +1 from me for the Crosswinds. :thumbup:

I'm shocked no one has mentioned Slaw RX pedals. They are a masterpiece! And the customer service is second to none.

Just saw Christiankirk mentioned "Slav RX" hehe

OP mentioned a price range of 100-200 bucks.. so it hardly makes sense to go. "Hey.. I know you want to spend one to two hundred bucks... so I suggest you buy a five hundred and fifty dollar set!:thumbup:"

[Ozz13]

I stepped up and will get the crosswinds.. but those slaw pedals look sexy. I’m going to do some research.. I might lean toward the Slaw. Let’s say I’ve narrowed it down to two options :D

In all fairness I highly doubt their customer service as any better than MFG. They are exceptional.

[Mars Exulte]

Slaw Device Vipers ftw!

 

You have two or three options for sub-$200. Saitek, Thrustmaster, and CH. All three are pretty piss poor quality. Pedals are sufficiently niche you have very little option.

i use the pedals from g25 steering wheel :music_whistling: :pilotfly:

I did. May have mispelled it the first time. "So if you don't plan to center mount, the TFRP works well.

[christiankirk81]

Are you considering extensions for the Warthog as well? Worth thinking about, there are some pretty decent extension manufacturers here in the forums like Sahaj and MFG creates extensions as well. I got mine at Sahaj's.

I was just about to recommend the Slaw RX pedals. They are about as close as you can get to the A-10, F-5, F-16, and F-18’s rudder pedals. I prefer that set up than the MFG crosswinds and those are more like WW2 rudder pedals from what I’ve been told.
