jeffham222 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Looking for some input on some rudder pedals to use with the Hornet and later the Tomcat. Right now it is looking like a toss up between the MFG Crosswinds and Thrustmaster TPRs... Yeah, I'm also holding out for the Thrustmaster Hornet stick and throttle as well when they are released in 2022! Actually, I have no idea when they'll be released but I figure 2022 is probably a safe bet... Thanks in advance!

Mr_sukebe Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Previously used a set of CH Pros and now have MFGs. The MFGs are very nice. The only real question is whether to go for the Thrustmasters, which do get very good reviews. The only real question is which is likely to be more reliable.

imacken Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Well, I have used the Thrustmaster TFRP T Flight pedals for over a year now and have been happy in all types of aircraft. At about £80, they are an absolute bargain, imo.

=Panther= Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I have used a lot of pedals over the years. My favorite was the Simpeds, sadly no longer in production and the version I have has the gameport plug... I went to MFGs afterwards but couldn't really enjoy them, as I was accustomed to the heel on the floor design of the Simpeds. I have never been a fan of pedals where your entire foot rest on the pedal. I currently use the TM TPRs and they are designed to match my wishes; heels on the floor. It comes down to what you want: budget, style, toebrakes? All rudder pedals do yaw, but not all have toebrakes.

For that much money (really anything over $100) without toe brakes they are useless, IMO. Do any of you guys run the TM Warthog stick and throttle? Had any issues with everything being programmable? I read where if you used the TM Warthog stick and throttle you ran out of something or other needed to program all the peripherals due to DirectX limitations...

sideshow Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I decided to go with the Thrustmaster pedals since my controls include the Warthog and Cougar MFD's. Also, I refused to purchase anything without toe brakes. I love my TPR's, and feel like the price is worth it if you're into helicopters and controlling a Harrier that's in the hover (the precision stuff). Honestly with jets like the hornet, and a-10 (at least in my own opinion) my old Saitek's were just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JumpinK Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Thrustmaster TPR Pendular Rudder!!! Not cheap, but compared to the other rudder pedals I've tested they are really the best choice IMO.

Placed on the carpet without securing them, the pedals would be all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sn8ke_iis Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I had some Saitek Combat pedals, the pot broke, nearly impossible to repair or source a spare. Love my MFGs, I keep them in place with heavy duty velcro with adhesive backing, works like a charm. I haven't used the new TM pedals, but if aesthetics are important, the MFGs have a German WWII look to them, the new TM pedals more modern. The MFGs are perfect if you have a center mount stick as well. More leg room and knee room for rolls and maneuvers. The hall sensor is more precise than any other pedals I've used.

imacken Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Thanks a lot, guys. Can I ask a basic question here? I have been using the TM TFRP T-Flight pedals for a couple of years now, and have no issues with landing/taking off/taxiing even in Spits and other prop planes. I like the pedals as they work on a rail, and there is no lateral foot movement at all. My question is, what benefit would I see by spending £££s on the either the TRPs or the Crosswinds? I realise that the build quality and sensitivity are vastly superior, but in practice, what difference what I actually see bearing in mind my current setup works fine? (BTW, I'm always happy to be convinced that I need to spend on new kit!)

Pukedogg Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Ive been using Saitek pro. Suits my needs for all flight sims. Havent had any issues. I swap out my set up for civil and Military sims with throttles, joysticks and yokes. But always use the rudder pedals.
