August 15, 20241 yr I just bought a new chair for FS2020. Trouble is when I use the rudder peddles the chair moves back. Yes its on wheels. I can't be the only person that has run into this. So, looking for some advice. As I write this it sounds like a stupid questions. But, its a real issue. Thanks to all who reply. Don't laugh too hard. Bill McCracken

August 15, 20241 yr Or replace the castors with brake castors:- https://www.amazon.co.uk/INCREWAY-Casters-Replacement-Universal-Function/dp/B07TTQXB1D
August 15, 20241 yr I also recommend locking castors. Perfect solution IMO.

August 15, 20241 yr I have castors but then I have bumpy sort of rug under my wheels. It works alright. My pedals tend to move around on the floor a little though - the rubber feet have worn off. | 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 |
August 15, 20241 yr My "go to" from Amazon, allows me to pump those pedals as hard as I want.

August 15, 20241 yr I too went for locking castors, these ones to be precise. Although these are out of stock, I'm expect there are identical ones under a different brand name. I chose them because they use inline skate-type wheels, so the polyurethane won't mark more delicate flooring than I currently use them on. They also don't slip on low grip surfaces they way solid plastic wheels can, again avoiding scratches. But as noted above, if you don't need the ability to move the chair around whilst seated, go ahead and replace the stock castors with non-moving pads.

Have to position them just right but holds fast. Vic green

My pedals tend to move around on the floor a little though - the rubber feet have worn off. I also use a bumpy throw rug. One end is under the rudder pedals (which are mounter on a piece of plywood), the other end of the rug is under the "rolling" chair. Seems to work well. AL
August 16, 20241 yr I stuffed cardboard/foam into the rear castor mount. Instant brake. As I realised I would never take it out I poured some super glue in there instead. Cheap and very effective. Invert the chair first though you don't want glue the chair to your carpet.. 😉 Russell Gough SE London
