Pendulum rudder issue with “play” in the rudder axis.

[Craven]

Hi Forum -

 

First post here :) -

 

I discovered DCS around 1st of May coming from PSX and Xplane. Totally blown away of the immersion of DCS! :) Got my self a Virpil base with a metal f16 stick from Thrustmaster warthog set ( selling the TM base keeping the very nice throttle) Also got the TM pendulum rudder pedals yesterday which are really great but I am wondering if any of you have some rattling/ play in the ball joints ( not the ones attached to the toebraking sensors but the ones in the rudder mechanism) making it feel a bit loose on the rudder axis in the ball joints. When resting both feet’s all is ok as there is tension on the system.

 

For the price I expect absolute faultless mechanics and there should be no play on the joints IMO?

 

Any observations from other owners?

 

Thanks

The whole TPR Rudder bends quite a lot when you use it.

I haven't had any problems to date. Whether I look on the in-game rudder controls or use the Windows game controller function, I see smooth precise control. I observe the same when I am using them in game including helicopters and tail draggers that need good rudder control.
