I plan on getting the honeycomb yoke and throttle quadrant set, but since they don't have rudder pedals I am holding off. Is it still possible to enjoy MSFS without dedicated rudder pedals if you only have the yoke and throttles?

Yes it is possible if you use the "on ground rudder aid", then you can steer the aircraft with the yoke like a car on the ground, you can also use one of the axis on the Bravo for the brakes.

I use Thrustmaster’s TPR with my Honeycombs. They’re expensive, but I didn’t have any pedals before and I had read great reviews. They haven’t disappointed- they’re really terrific.

TPRs. They feel like real rudder pedals and are under $800.

I use the Saitek Pro Pedals with my Honeycomb gear.

add me to that list.🙂

It does not matter what stick or yoke you use Rudders are rudders and IMO TPR are the best and it looks like the OP likes the best so...

I use the Honeycomb yoke and throttle with the Thrustmaster T. Flight Rudder Pedals. Sure, the quality of the Honeycomb products is much higher, but the pedals are good enough for my needs. For me personally the pedals are the least important component of the three, so I went for some cheap ones.

is it possible to disengage the centering mechanism an the Thrustmaster’s TPR ? I'd heard it was possible but haven't seen any info on it.

Take the springs off of the back maybe? Why would you want to do that ?

Funny that you think there is room on holding off.

These things are constantly sold out. I missed the window of oportunity again earlier this month.

And now there is actually a production stop because of the current shortage of semiconductors. New units are not expected to arrive before autumn.

To reproduce a more realistic 'anti torque pedals', i guess.

I am using both the Alpha Yoke and the Bravo Throttle along with my XBox controller mounted right on my yoke with some commercial quality Velcro and using a combination of buttons to co-ordinate with the Bravo I am able to control the aircraft while on the ground with very good accuracy and ease. I do have to have the rudder assist on though or it makes the rudders insanely sensitive and unable to effectively control. 

Here is the setup I'm using along with some keyboard bindings that make throttle adjustment even easier (quicker).

Keyboard throttle binds using num pad: 1=10%, 2=20% and so on up through 9=90%. This is especially effective for me in both the TBM and the CJ4 as I can immediately set a throttle position without guessing or actually having to look at the throttle position with my mouse to report actuals.

XBox Controller: Lower Triggers on the XBox controller for rudder control. I can make large rudder adjustments using the Triggers and small adjustments using the Yoke. It works fantastic, again as long as you have Rudder Assist on. I'm using the combination buttons A&B to immediately set Zero Throttle. I use the Y button as Brake and the Y&B buttons to toggle Parking Brakes.

This has been working very well for me.

They would seem to have a high center of gravity.  What keeps them from toppling?

lol, they never move they are very heavy. There all metal, metal plate for a bottom. Ali pedal. 7kg. Watch from 7min about "moving"

No Twisting action like MFG Crosswind, just pure push. 9:20 in the bottom vid about MFG also.
