Rudder pedals for A330

[Zimmerbz 168]

Are there any good/realistic A320 rudder pedals out there?  I currently use the Logitech pro pedals but am looking for something more geared for the A320.  Thoughts?

Title says A330 but I meant A320

Zimmer, you should probably wait for the Honeycomb Charlie unless you really want something that is Airbus specific, then I don't know...

I fly the Fenix 99% of the time and I use the Logitech Pedals, which work fine. What do you want the pedals to do?

Another solution : MFG Crosswind pedals + Airbus footrests kit :

These pedals have hall sensors, no potis, so no wear and tear at all. I have mine since five years now.

If you additionally buy the hydraulic dampers, you can set them up quite close to the real force , and they also almost eliminate the centering force. Real A320 pedals don't have any centering force (unfortunately present in many pedals, even expensive replicas like Opencockpit or FSC).

If you want them to look even more like A320 pedals, you can get these center cover. Fits well over the MFGs. : https://airframelab.eu/product/a320-saitek-rudder-mod/

Just looking for a more realistic setup. I have a throttle quadrant on order from throttletek and have a realistic airbus stick so I wanted to see if there was anything more a320 specific.

Are the opencockpit ones compatible and plug and play with msfs?

I’m sure I just missed it but where are the foot rest kits for the mfg crosswind?   And that rudder mod in the second link is just the center portion for the saitek?

The footrests kit is below the base pedals. Click on the model selector and choose 'Airbus'. 

Yes, the second link is just meant for the center portion. If you contact them, you can get a reduced price for just that.

Ah. I see it now.  Thanks.  You have these and like them?  Seems like the best option for under $1000.  Do they sell these pedals anywhere other than the site you sent?  Any msfs compatibility issues, particularly with the fenix?

Yes, I have two of these in my A320 home cockpit with P3D and FSLabs and like them. According to two A320 RW pilots the feel is very close to the real thing.

I plugged them once into my Laptop, no problem at all to set them up in MSFS. I don't have the Fenix though, so can't tell.

You can only buy them directly from MFG. They are usually out of stock with the base pedals around Christmas, but should restock them soon.

Thanks.  I will definitely consider these!

The answer to really any kind of rudder pedal desire at all anymore is the MFG.  I don't even think the dampener is required but some folks like it.  I have the "combat footrests" which don't exactly mimic any aircraft but are really just normal aircraft footrests, the kind where you fly with your heels on the floor and balls of your feet on the bottom of the pedals.  They feel plenty realistic enough in the sim for everything from a Stearman to a 737.  If you want more aircraft specific foot rests, those are available too.

I concur with the other MFG users above. They are some of the best sim rudder pedals availble now days. I bought mine around 5 years ago, and they are working as best as they were when they where brand new. No issues at all. Supper smooth, easy to set up and strong.
