thanks for the comprehensive review! no other review on YouTube was as good

[hermannk]

Agree with your review on the Thrustmaster TFRP Pedals: In neutral there is a sort of "stickiness" where you have to use force to get the pedals to move forward. Makes for a very uneven pedal movement and difficult to get aircraft on the centre line for takeoff or taxiing.

[joergbock]

Thanks for the direct comparison. Recently, I got the BF 109 and taxiing that thing with but a controller or a twist rudder joystick is next to impossible since you have to rely on differential brakes to turn. Going for the Saitek pedals. I think the wider spacing is more comfortable in the end and the option to set the rudder tension is a big plus too.

I have never bought sim equipment before, beyond a heavily specialised tank gunner control handle from a private company that doesn't distribute online, this video was SO HELPFUL! Thank you, you are very well spoken and a helpful man. I appreciate your work and will be choosing the Saitek design!

[DallasJW]

Thank you. Exactly what I was looking for.

The best review I could have asked for no one seems to show the way they function like this! Helps me decide where to start on pedals as I have been trying without pedals which has proven rough.

[Bunnxies]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video to help others.

Great video! Very good in depth analysis from the user experience!

Great demonstration! Thank you much! You could also use Self-Adhesive Hook and Loop fastener, which i use to fix the left pedal of my kickdrum double pedal on carpet. Could work on non carpet floors, too, if you find one that comes with both sides of the hook and loop AND is self-adhesive. The one that i use on carpet is really strong and sticks to the metal plate forever.

Thank you for this review, I was debating between the two. I think I'm going to go with the Logitech

[Denis.flores]

Thank you for taking the time and for posting your comparison video. Thank you!

I initially fixed the awful stickyness of the TM TFRP pedals with some silicone spray. This however made them too slippery.
Then I bit the bullet and ordered some Nyogel 767A from German Amazon and applied it. At first, it felt weird. Too much resistance at times, too little at others, but I just needed to wear it in. They're perfect now, except for the horrible creaking noises when in use. I know they're some of the cheapest rudder pedals you can buy, but they're still way too expensive for something that feels so cheap and plastic-y.

[rbsims]

Thanks. I'm glad now that I decided to purchase Saitek. Thank you for the review.

[edgarw.espinosa]

Thanks for the review, didn't want to go over 200+ dollars on rudder pedals. This helped my decision.

[fredjones]

Thank you for your review, very complete and detailed

[seralyncampbell]
