December 12, 20169 yr Commercial Member Last week there was a sale for the HOTAS which included a free pair of rudder pedals. I don't have a link, but think it was on Amazon. It's probably still going on. Best wishes. Dave Hodges System Specs: I9-13900KF, NVIDIA 4070TI, Quest 3, Multiple Displays, Lots of TERRIFIC friends, 3 cats, and a wonderfully stubborn wife.
December 12, 20169 yr Rudder pedals are the way to go. I use the Thrustmaster Warthog stick and throttle quadrant, and Saitek PRO Flight Combat Rudder Pedals for yaw (and toe brakes). I previously used the CH rudder pedals, which are well made, but too close together for comfort and a bit small for my feet (shoe size 13). They also had a noticeable "clunk" when passing through the detent at the center position. That's not so good for helicopters where you want fine control on the yaw axis, or steering a plane during the takeoff roll. The Saitek pedals are further apart with less detent in the middle. You can get more expensive pedals from higher-end sim companies, but these work for me. X-Plane and Microsoft Flight Simulator on Windows 10 i7 6700 4.0 GHz, 32 GB RAM, GTX 1660 ti, 1920x1200 monitor
December 12, 20169 yr I've been using Pro rudder pedal with Warthog for years and so far things have been fine. I never got used to the twist thing for rudder control, way too artificial. 9950X3D / 64GB / RTX5090 / Pimax Crystal Light / Win11
