It is often said that N.America and Britain are two nations separated by a common language. However, since pure ENGLISH happens to be the primary language Internationally recognised for use in Aviation, including ATC communications, it can be argued that American spellings are not appropriate and only those appearing in the Oxford English Dictionary are acceptable. But before anybody to the West of the Big Pond gets mad and wants to put the BOOT in (or should that be TRUNK?) and argue against this hypothesis, I want them to understand these comments are made with 'tongue-in-cheek', so any response should be equally friendly and only add to Ray's COLOURFUL discussion (or should that be COLORFUL?). Oh well, who cares, you all know what I mean! LOL Edited October 31, 20196 yr by berts Bertie Goddard
October 31, 20196 yr Moderator @berts, nice to see you understood my tone was playful and not critical. I’m sure there are some Brit phrases that have crept into the American language. But to continue this would be unfair on the OP who wants to discuss pedals so I’ll stop there. 😉 Ray (Cheshire, England).

October 31, 20196 yr Don't consider the Logitech Pedals. Lot of RMA's and mine faulted after 3 months of use. Yesterday, they failed. TPR for me I think.

November 1, 20196 yr My old thrustmaster pedals are done, having had hundreds of flight hours and no longer move smoothly. Reading this thread convinced me to get the TPR’s, which I had been thinking about for some time. They arrive today. Best deal I found was on NewEgg / Dell, about $70 less than Amazon & others. Thanks for the recommendation guys. rgds, JB 9800x3d, ASUS TUF x870, 64GB G.Skill DDR5, MSI Ventus 4080, HP Reverb G2 VR, FlyVirtual.net, Private Pilot SEL rating, subLogic FlightSim 1983 & every release since
November 3, 20196 yr I just finished setting up the new TPR's and (splurged) the new Alpha Honeycomb yoke.....WOW !! What a difference new hardware makes. Much more immersive. Awesome. cheers, rgds, JB 9800x3d, ASUS TUF x870, 64GB G.Skill DDR5, MSI Ventus 4080, HP Reverb G2 VR, FlyVirtual.net, Private Pilot SEL rating, subLogic FlightSim 1983 & every release since

November 3, 20196 yr If you don't want to spend 500-600 bucks I like my Saitek Combat Pro pedals (the basic saitek pedals are word not allowed). I think I dropped about 150 USD on the combat pro's. Otherwise there are these which look ok for the price: https://www.amazon.com/ThrustMaster-2960764-Thrustmaster-TFRP-Rudder/dp/B015PII6YI?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_3 | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
