Thrustmaster T-Flight Rudder Pedals Review - Microsoft Flight sim 2020 / XP11 / DCS

[@GamerMuscleVideos]

Hope this video gave you the information you were looking for! Amazon link to the Rudder pedals - amzn.to/37PHstN

[@somecallmetim42]

I've had mine for a while and now I can't fly without them. Using rudder peddles with a flight sim makes flying so much better especially in prop aircraft such as the warbirds you find in IL-2 or DCS World.

[@CurbsRacing]

I have these pedals, they work great in DCS World in the F18 Hornet. I lay a box in front of them against the wall, does the job and keeps them from sliding. Great review, straight to the point!

[@beanieteamie7435]

They still going strong?

[@samcarter1848]

I can’t get DCS to read the pedals. Any advice?

[@beanieteamie7435]

@@samcarter1848 Does windows read the pedals?

[@samcarter1848]

@@beanieteamie7435 yes if I open my windows control panel and go to game controllers windows reads every button, It reads the joystick, and it reads the pedals. But when I get into DCS I have no rudder control and the game does not sense it. I was wondering if I need that adaptor to plug the pedals directly into the pc using usb

[@Lukania]

lol They do.

[@Avetorro]

I’ve used these for combat sims for a few years but always found they are too close together to be able to have the fine control you need to aim at a small ground target. I’m moving over to saitek as they are better spaced apart.

[@DonnyDonnMendoza]

"... because I mean, every one knows, you don't slide dry, you slide with a bit of lube; it's going to be more fun. I mean, come on Thrustmaster; you're called Thrust Master!!! You should get these things right!!!" Nothing truer has been said! The best way to begin 2020!

[@unclealig]

you can stick velcro tape (the side with the hooks) with adhesive layer onto the underside of the rudder pedals to get them secured on the carpet.

[@FilingAccount]

I now have 2 sets of Thrustmaster pedals, 1 set of logitech ones... and no flightSIM. Influence success 100%!

Im just wrapping my hrad around using them for war thunder tank rb, using the right one as gas and the left as a break pedal with the turning for tank turning whilst driving tanks. For planes it might be a complete gamechanger, with the indipendent left and right wheel break, capping caps with planes gonna be a lot easier

[@azaralamouri5140]

[@NiklasTheis]

Could you do a review of these pedals after some time/months of usage?

[@vantazel]

I’ll tell ya, they’re great. I use them for DCS. They are sensitive. I need a lot of de sensitivity lol. I use the x-52 pro and always hated the twist. Played x-plane 9 and Falcon Allied Forces also. Some day, it’ll be the $650 pedals lol.

[@crevusllohcin]

I have these and just out of warranty a toe brake cable broke. Luckily I repaired them but wouldn’t waste money on another pair. Yes they don’t glide that smooth. It’s better to bite the bullet and save up and buy descent Rudder pedals that would last along time.

Use stick on velcro to keep them from sliding on carpet. I have had these pedals for 2 years and never knew they had toe brakes.....F thanks for the education

[@overratedprogrammer]

Lmao

[@alexf1525]

how did you brake?

[@russsechler9504]

Look for once and for all, ALL SINGLE PROP AIRCRAFT turn left due to P Factor, corkscrew affect, engine torque, and gyroscopic procession. Its not a bad pedal setting nor cross wind. Look them up.

[@GamerMuscleVideos]

No these pedals are rubbish , yes I know about planes pulling to the side from the torque as well as helicopters.

[@LaLaObeRoT]

Had them for a year now. They were great in the first few weeks, but now they are binding/sticking really bad. Cleaned them, lubed them with Teflon, Silicone etc., but the are getting worse and worse. Thinking of getting rid of them as they ruin the experience...

[@website8362]

Great review. My favourite part was the thrustmaster lube section haha!

[@yungdadi]

"Everybody knows you don't slide dry; you slide with a bit of lubricant on it" -GamerMuscleVideos

[@bluescan92]

The Yaw on takeoff power is due to the torque of the engine.

[@sksupply]

Yep. P factor.

[@AN2Felllla]

The lack of lubrication is incredibly frustrating. Especially when you're landing taildraggers!

[@MrHyho]

Great video. But what do you use to control the throttle?

[@MrMOGHammer]

On the thrustmaster T.flight 4 stick you can lock the rotation of the stick so it won’t interfere with the pedals

[@ruthlessadmin]

Nyogel 767a probably would make these feel better. I have the TWCS throttle as well, which was unusable until I greased the rails with it....Will try it on the pedals as soon as they arrive.

[@frankmacs9379]

Was the Nyogel 767a any good on the pedals?

[@EricPenn1147]

Thank you. Good info... Just purchased....

[@captainflatspot]

Gonna try using my clutch and gaspedal for the rudder. Should work. But the toe brakes is something I could fall in love with. Don't like using buttons for that. Almost always results in a spitfire drift session. Good video btw.

[@VongolaEX10]

How was it? I am seriously considering the same

[@captainflatspot]

@@VongolaEX10 worked good. Just need to remember to lift the other foot when using the other one. I got used to quickly

[@qad417]

Cant imagine why thrustmaster havent used linear bearing. they cost 0,5$ per piece. These plastic slides are horibble.... Im going to make mod to this one, soon it will be awilable on thingiverse :)

[@oldtimer2192]

Don’t buy these whatever you do, they are very sticky. Thrustmaster calls them the “SMART” rail system but it is really quite dumb as to why there are no bearings. Yes I’ve tried various greases and silicone lube but it makes little difference. Mine are going in the bin as soon as I get a decent set of pedals with smoother actuation!

[@esotericman22]

To be fair I dont think these pedals feel 'tacky' at all. I agree they are not the most expensive pedals out there but for £67 I personally think they are solid. They dont feel cheap. If you are think of buying these I would absolutely say you wont be disappointed...a good solid buy for people who dont have loads of cash.

[@MichaelThomasOflaherty]

I got a Thrustmaster t flight hotas 4 recently but the box said I need a rj12 rudder pedals set

[@brianj.robinson330]

Not working in MSFS 2020! Has anyone gotten them to work or is having the same trouble!?

[@yorinov2001]

I have, go to the controls setup then choose the T-Rudder. I then clicked on sensitivity and it will show the axis names and graph the movement. then I backed out of sensitivity and set each axis. for my setup the left brake is L-Axis Y (reverse direction), right brake is L-Axis X (reverse direction), Rudder is L-Axis Z. what confused me was the L- it does not mean left or right rudder pedal but that the whole rudder pedal unit is considered the left controller and that my flight stick unit is the right controller.

[@brianj.robinson330]

Awesome thanks!!

[@harbinguy1]

good video! some mentioned this paddle is very sticky.? not accurate?

[@noggs4vlogs]

Great review. Thanks

[@MrShadowpanther3]

Price point, usability, and quality are always a trade off game. It is perfectly possible to pick up some nicely built aircraft aluminum high quality pedals for 5x the price.

[@ArcherAC3]

I just can't get used to it, I'm about to apply some lubricant to it's moving parts, wonder if anyone else has the same issue: they feel way too "sticky" for you to have precise controls with your muscles. What happens is that I have to use an irregular amount of force on my feet for it to move, I keep pressing slightly harder and harder for it to finally move, so it's impossible to be precise because I either don't move it at all or apply too much force and move it too much, it's pretty hard to apply just enough force for it to just move slightly.

[@artyboy1377]

Your review was pretty spot on! I just received mine and I'm very pleased with them. For its price its very decent quality, the build is very hard plastic so it doesn't flex or creak on pressure. I have a Warthog HOTAS and this seems to complement it very well.

[@remko6095]

you still use them both with no isseu's?

[@artyboy1377]

@Remko ☘️ They work fine. Only thing is the rudder calibration is a tad drifty so it's hard to get the sensitivity right. It lacks precision but for the price I guess can't complain.

[@CatPawGaming]

What pedals are better, these ones or the logitech ones?

[@joegranata7936]

I have those pedals and today I tested them on MFS 2020. They got detected but are not working

[@yorinov2001]

[@joegranata7936]

@@yorinov2001 Actually I managed to make it working. You have to assign axis your own both to rudder rotation and differential braking because default assignment is wrong.

hey man whats up thanks for the video, i actually just got these pedals but i am having a slight issue. the game and all is recognizing the pedals and all the settings are correct but when i go into flight the rudder pedals are not operating. inside the cockpit the pedals are not moving and also the outside of the aircraft the tail is not moving as well. i installed the driver as well.

[@stephenedwards9693]

Halfway up the cable is a rectangular plastic box. On one side is a very tiny switch that allows you to use these as rudder pedals or racing pedals (accelerator and brake). Check that you are on flight mode.

[@Hoekstes]

Try right on the aileron and left rudder on that crosswind from the right. You want to land on your right wheel. 😉

Do these work on fs2020 or nah, I’ve purchased them based off this review and I can’t get it to work properly on the rudder axis.

[@jkennan]

I've got the same problem. It can see them in the control options and it works fine in the Thrustmaster config app; just doesn't respond within the FS2020 play

[@YourXLNerd]

Ok so I did get it to work... the problem is I don’t really know how or why it started working - so sorry I can’t give you great instructions. Installing the device driver and the calibrater didn’t seem to help. I was getting this issue where the rudder axis was weird where right rudder wasn’t registering. To reset what actually seemed to do it was the switch in the back by the usb plug in. Cycled that and it seemed to start working. Hopefully this does the trick for you

[@JasonRenfrow]

I know you seem race a ton as well. Do you use the same cockpit for both? Do you have to change out wheel and pedals every time you want to fly?

I have the T.16000M and the Yaw control completely broke on the inside, meaning I am basically forced to look at rudder pedals...

[@JaguarInfinity]

New to flight sims, and I am from the Dover area, so when I saw that footage from the glider used for a moment my jaw dropped! I didn't know there was anything that represented my local area so well. Is it a particular scenery expansion pack for XP11 that you use? Would really appreciate finding out!

[@GamerMuscleVideos]

It's orbex true earth great Britton , might be worth holding out for MSFS2020 right now ytough

[@JaguarInfinity]

Thanks! And I'll take that under advisement :)

[@GamerMuscleVideos]

Only downside with xp11 is that it doesn't simulate wave lift , but does have a randomised thermal system over land and does have ridge lift for hills.

Would this be something to buy if I want to build my own pedals? Just transfer the electronics?

[@shiningoveryu9743]

Is this compatible with both Xbox series x/s and PS4/PS5?

[@ChickentNug]

for some reason mine sticks a ton whenever I first move, and it has really jerky movement. It kind of smooths out if I use the inertia after it gets moving, but it's impossible to do precise movements. I don't know how to fix it and make it smooth again

Use the toe brake as well as full rudder 👍

Maybe you should make another video using this pedals on a combat simulator (War Thunder or IL-2) because in that environment they are really useful if not essential. Also the pedals are too close together causing stress on your knees on the long run. The lack of tea drinking and the word "honest" on the title are unacceptable.

Rudder pedals just now in operation in MS Flight Simulator 2020: The pedals are recognized unter "controls" and the display bar also shows the corresponding deflection. In the normal position , the bar display is in the middle (= ok).When used on an aircraft, the rudders always return to zero position despite full permanent left or right actuation (if you press "0" or "enter" on the keyboard, the rudders remain in their angled position). Can anyone help?

[@gerrypi51]

Problem solved: if you set "rudder axis" to "reverse axis", the assignments in "rudder left / right" are not automatically changed. The correct setting is (make it manually!): Reverse axis deactivated: rudder right = joystick L-axis Z-, rudder left = joystick L-axis Z + Reverse axis activated: Rudder right = joystick L-axis Z +, rudder left = joystick L-axis Z- Which is actually the correct setting that can be found in the real aircraft? Left before = right curve or vice versa? Full deflection now works perfectly, but the rudder "flutters" when adjusted slightly, so precise control is not possible. Possibly Software problem, similar to the current error in the elevator trim Airbus ...

[@BuddySpike101]

Rudder pedals allow you to fly level with the horizon but at the same time move left and right just by pushing the pedals with your feet. It you push the left pedal then you start to turn left and if you push the right pedal then you turn right. This is known as yawing. Also these rudder pedals allow you to steer on the ground by pushing the pedals with your legs.
