Per le mie esigenze la pedaliera ideale, risponde a tutti i miei requisiti: …prezzo onesto (l’ho pagato 89), dimensioni contenute, possiiblit di lavorare autonomamente o in sinergia con altre periferiche del costruttore (TM), possibit di sostutuire la molla di richiamo. Certo, binari di scorrimento a parte (in acciaio), costruttivamente c’ molto PVC, ma per un prodotto di questa fascia di prezzo, non credo si potesse far di meglio. Pi che soddisfatto.
It’s good and works really nicely. Easy to clean compared to my previous set of rudder pedals from Logitech. The pedals feel smooth and easy to move, but if you are pushing the toe brakes then you will find it very hard to move the pedals. From time to time, I have also found it quite hard to keep the pedals in the centre as it is not very distinct where the centre is.
Ich nutze dieses Produkt mit X-Plane11 und einer VR-Brille.
Vorteilhaft ist fr mich das auch eine Fubremse getrennt nach linkem und rechtem Pedal implementiert ist.
Der einzige Schwachpunkt ist aus meiner Sicht das es sich bei heftigeren Flugmanvern auf dem Boden verschieben kann.
Hier muss man zustzliche Manahmen zur Arretierung treffen.
Je l’utilise pour DCS world et cela me convient parfaitement, aprs pour le prix vous aurez un produit tout plastique et un peut “cheap” mais franchement pour dbuter il est plus que convenable.
C’est intuitif et ergonomique avec un HOTAS on s’y croirait. Je recommande
Great product for price paid! The most notable thing with these pedals is that they grip to my carpet easily out of the box, no need to drill them into the floor compared to slightly more expensive options.
My only complaint is the detent on this is very weak so be careful if resting your foot on the pedals as you may be applying unwanted yaw to the aircraft!
Great buy and recommend for people that want pedals that simply just do the job.
Mais je cherche le rglage car trop rapide a tourne il faut trouve le juste millieu
Little light weight but work straight out of box. Removing the heel supports provides better control.
Le pdalier est prcis et offre une bonne rsistance, le retour au centre de fait bien.
Niveau finition rien a redire pour l’instant, il tient bien mme aprs plusieurs mois d’utilisation quotidienne.
Seul point qui me drange, je trouve les pdales trop proches ce qui peut provoquer une gne au niveau des jambes aprs quelques temps de jeu.
Quand les logiciels de pilotage d’avions le prennent en charge cela permet de complter un quipement de type HOTAS WARTHOG et cela rend le pilotage plus complet.
Que son los mejores pedales que hay ahora mismo en el mercado para pilotar aviones
Palonnier vraiment intressant pour complter le combo manche + manette gaz . Avoir le contrle de l’ensemble des mouvements de l’avion est grisant. On peut mettre les freins sur le palonnier, et la gestion de la puissance de freinage est prit en compte. Les rglages sont facile mme pour un dbutant. (tester avec Xplane 11)
Pleasure to move the pedals when flying in FSx, and installation was painless.
Great product for the price, easy to use. How much it will endure is yet to be seen.
Qualit e precisione per questi pedali, plug&play :consigliati per gli amanti delle simulazioni
Ottimo prodotto per una esperienza ancora pi realistica di volo simulato.
Take some getting used to, but very good! A must for those starting in simulation.
Cumple perfectamente con lo q buscaba en mis pedales para el simulador de vuelo
The rudder pedals work fine but take a lot of adjustment to get right. I found it important to have a null zone. Also the brakes feel a bit soft and woolly. A lot of movement is required to get descent braking action.
The pedals fit great in the limited space I have by my pc but I can see what people mean about the spacing being a tad uncomfortable for men with bigger berries.
Also the pedals require a deft touch with a very slight center detent you will have to get used to them but if you want pedals that wont tax your strength then the smart rails are great.
Ive had them for a couple of days an the poti is holding up fine but years of use might yield differant results (Burned by the poti on the T16 twist breaking my reason for buying the pedals.)
But all together my experiance is positive.
Install en complment d’un hotas Warthog sur DCS world. Fonctionne trs bien. Mme s’il parat un peu “cheap” dans sa fabrication, le rapport qualit/prix est l.
En revanche, une fois de plus livr simplement dans sa boite d’origine sans aucune protection avec l’tiquette de transport colle directement dessus.
Trs bon palonnier, qui se met en place facilement (sauf sous linux) et fonctionne correctement.
Work as advertised . Good simple and responsive pedals used in DCS
The pedals are little close each other and sometimes the moving is not so smooth, but they do the work just fine. I am pretty sure this is the best choice for all of you guys who spend few hours per week on the flight simulator.
For the money though…. not so bad.
Adquir este producto de una oferta de amazon indicando que era un producto devuelto y la caja estara abierta. El precio mereca la pena. Al recibirlo el producto estaba impecable, aunque la caja estaba abierta, no se notaba que se hubiese usado. La instalacin fu muy fcil y funcion a la primera. Hay pedales mas caros, pero estos se ven muy duraderos con un material resistente y lo suficientemente pesado para que no se muevan. Contento con la compra.
Ich habe die Rudder gekauft fr mein Spiel DCS World. In verbindung mit den Thrustmaster System sind die Rudder ideal fr die Perfekte Kontrolle von Hubschrauber und Flugzeuge.
Die Rudder sind schnell aufgebaut und schnell Installiert. Beim Fliegen kann man auch mall ordentlich rein treten (ohne groe gewallt) ohne das sie verrutschen oder kaputt gehen. Die Reaktion ist sehr schnell und gut, so das man Punktgenau fliegen kann. Ich mag sie gerne und wrde nie wieder ohne Fliege
Trs bon palonnier pour faire de la simulation arienne.
Je recommande sans rserve.
So wie erwartet, gute Qualitt zum gnstigen Preis. Passt hervorragend zum Thrustmaster Warthog.
Bonne qualit, utilis pour de la simulation de vole, il rpond parfaitement au attentes.
Ho acquistato questo prodotto per fare un regalo. Il risultato stato sorprendente, contentissimi di averlo ricevuto. Dalle informazioni che ho avuto, funziona benissimo, lo hanno istallato e settato il pochissimo tempo. Ho chiesto se funziona davvero bene la risposta stata: da la sensazione di essere su un aereo vero. Credo non si possa chiedere di pi.
Had other pedals from saitek . Was never really able to get it working but these are really good . Set up and they work well with the warthog stick. Are a little light so will slip on smooth flooring.
Bei mir sind die Rudder jetzt seit knapp 3 Jahren im Einsatz. Hier also meine Eindrcke und Erfahrungen damit.
Pro
-Preis Leistung ist hierbei sehr gut, es ist bei weitem keine Profihardware, erfllt aber ihren Zweck bis heute fehlerfrei
-groe Fuauflagen und ist daher auch fr groe Menschen geeignet
-sehr robust
-einfache Installation
Contra
-kaum Widerstand, wodurch przise Manver zur Herausforderung werden
-schlechte Bodenhaftung, die Rudder rutschen auf glatten harten Oberflchen, auf Teppich bleiben sie an ihrem Platz
The controls are sensitive and will require in game adjustments (DCS World) and sometimes it’s a little tricky finding the centre spot. Practice does make it easier, been using them now for 46 hours flight time. I would recommend.
They grip the floor well, theyve moved a little on a plastic – under chair – mat I have (floor/carpet protector), but not much.
For me using FSX SE and Windows 10, these were plug and play – easy.
Great quality, proportional control, great value and really good fun.
on funziona sui giochi manca la predisposizione anche se il sistema lo riconosce vedr in futuro se con aggiornamenti si risolve
Dan muy buena sensacin en el simulador. Robustos y de buena calidad. Lo recomiendo.
Using with TM warthog playing dcs world great product light but well build. Packaging could be bette
Gracias. El producto tal como lo anuncian ha venido muy bien para haber sido por segundo comprado
Works great makes your flight sim better and easier to play, well made and a lot less expensive then some.
Are they worth buying? Yes they are.
I was worried that they might be too narrow (I’m a big chap) but no they are not.
Worked out of the box no down loads and nothing to change in X plane 11.
Diese Pedale sind sehr empfehlenswert , die Qualitt ist sehr gut und der Preis ist ok.
Ottimo articolo, solido e di buona qualit. Il controllo preciso e le molle sono resistenti.
Se devo trovare delle pecche sono l’assenza del sistema di ancoraggio vero e proprio (ci sono dei gommini anti scivolo, ma non sono sufficienti. Delle ventose sarebbero state meglio, ma comunque non un problema gravissimo) e l’impossibilit di allontanare i pedali dal centro.
In definitiva, comunque, un prodotto sicuramente consigliato.
ot bad, for a FIRST time using flight pedals, in sim flying. mostly heavy duty plastic apart from pedal rails. no replacement spring. and the spring inside. not strong enough to “pull pedals back into rest position” apart from that. not bad. perfect for a new player to flight sims. overall 4 out of five. calibration. easy. just follows directions to Thrust master website for the firmware.
Fr Flugsimulatoren (bei mir DCS mit der F/A18) sehr zu empfehlen. Bei Spielen wie Star Citizen macht ein Stinky Board mehr Sinn…
Very nice rudder pedals, Easy to move and manuvere and they can be used for flight and car games. I think that they are just as good at the Logiteck Saitek rudder pedals for 40.00 cheape
Tolles Produkt, jedoch sind die Pedale nicht immer flssig zu bewegen, sondern ruckeln ein bisschen. Mglicherweise kann ein Tropfen Schmierl helfe
great product and is very responsive to the controls and works well with any aircraft that I fly
These rudder pedals were purchased to replace faulty ones, which I didn’t like, but endured to the end. So, their demise was a pleasant reason for the change. Having proved Thrustmaster to be the producer of an excellent Joystick, I trusted them to do the same for these Rudder Pedals. I was not disappointed.
The Pros: Good value for money compared to others on the market. They have toe brakes and the pedals slide smoothly. They worked straight out of the box I just plugged them in and calibrate them in the game itself with no need to download and install drivers (I use Windows 10 and the game was X-Plane 11).
The Cons: The cable from the pedals is quite short so your PC needs to be on, or next to, the desk/chair you are going to use them from. The two pedals are set quite close together and may be a little uncomfortable if you keep your feet on them all the time. There is no means of adjusting any of the tension in the pedals and may be a bit stiff for children under about 7 or so.
I am more than happy with this product and think if you want a pair of pedals for a flight simulator these are the ones you should go for, unless you want pay out 200+ .
Thrustmaster, almeno per me, sempre una garanzia. Pedaliera solida e facile da installare, c’ poco da dire, ottimo prodotto
Ce yoke est meilleur que mon prcdent tous points de vue: Aspect, souplesse du manche, poids et adhrence sur support. la techno magntique devrait fiabiliser la profondeur et la cde de virage. Malgr ca le prix me semble OK.
OK et reconnu d’office par Xplane10 depuis 2 semaines.
Reste a savoir si les boutons en haut du manche tiendront sur la duree car les fils a l’interieur sont surement sollicites.
I bought this rudder pedal because the Logitech ones weren’t available when I bought my yoke and throttle set. I’ve used Thrustmaster steering wheel and pedals for Euro Truck Sim 2 for years and always found them solid and reliable and genuine value for money, and this set seems just as solid, if not more so.
Have only been using them for 24 hours but can’t find anything negative to say – I’d recommend them and they plug into the USB on the Logitech yoke or into your PC.
Very fast delivery and excellent packaging. After a few moments in setting up the pedals work as expected. The flying experience is upgraded with them, although I need some time to get familiar at using them correctly.
Nach anfnglicher Skepsis, da ich keinerlei Erfahrung habe, habe ich doch bestellt. Gewohnt flotter Versand. Ausgepackt, angeschlossen, Treiber heruntergeladen (Seite von Thrustmaster gut aufgebaut) und in Betrieb genommen.
Sehr schick auch das Target GUI wo man fr seine Anwendungen und Spiele die einzelnen Komponenten nach belieben einstellen kann.
Lediglich die Zuweisung der einzelnen Achsen und Knpfe erfordert etwas Wissenschaft und Trial & Error aber nach kurzer Zeit war ich dort wo ich hinwollte.
Es ist wohl kein High-End Teil, kommt fr mich im Moment aber ziemlich nah ran.
Die Verarbeitung ist super, es wirkt nicht billig oder windig, es ist halt aus Kunststoff. Die Pedale bleiben auch am Boden dort wo sie sollen. Man sollte sich nur berlegen fr seinen Brostuhl bremsen einzurichten, da ein zurckrollender Stuhl mehr als nervig ist.
Alles in Allem finde ich das Produkt sehr gelungen und spreche aus derzeitiger Sicht eine klare Kaufempfehlung aus.
Ottimo prodotto. Ho avuto qualche difficolt iniziale, ma solo perch non avevo calibrato la sensibilit sul simulatore.
Ora vediamo se durer a lungo, io quando non lo uso lo avvolgo nella plastica per non far prendere polvere ai meccanismi.
Me hace sentir como un piloto de verdad, y adems es multiusos: coche y avin. Ya haba odo hablar sobre Trhustmaster, pero ya s que es una compaa de confianza.
Has made aiming and coordinating turns much easier than with Thrustmasters twisting T.Flight Stick X. They have good sensitivity and a negligible dead zone and have not slipped or tipped up during breaking on our carpeted floor.
Los compr para DCS, por este precio no hay nada mejor. No tuve que instalar nada y el simulador lo detecta automticamente. Muy recomendable
Die Verarbeitung ist wie gewohnt sehr gut, obwohl ich mir weniger Plastik gewnscht htte. Habe vorher nicht besonders viel recherchiert und war daher etwas ernchtert. Aber: Es ist dennoch von ordentlicher Qualitt und keineswegs schlecht.
Die Kontrollfhigkeit ist wirklich super. Die Pedalen sind sehr leichtgngig und przise. Sowohl mit, als auch ohne Schuhen wunderbar zu bedienen. Ich habe relativ kleine Fe (Gre 42) und komme am besten klar, wenn ich die Fu-Sttzen am unteren Ende abschraube. Der Fuballen kann dann auf dem Boden aufliegen. Sicher Geschmacksache.
Einziger Makel am Produkt ist meiner Meinung nach, dass die Gummis, die die Pedalen an Ort und Stelle halten sollen, nicht ausreichend sind. Hier habe ich mit zustzlichen Stoppern den Widerstand erhht. Das verhindert dann ungewolltes Rutschen.
Wer also eine sehr gute Alternative zu den Saitek/Logitech-Plastikbombern sucht, ist mit diesen Pedalen gut beraten.
Lieferung kam eher als vorausgesagt. Funktion sofort nach Anschluss am USB-Port sofort gegeben. Ruderempfindlichkeit mit der A10-Simulationssoftware justiert. Landungen mit Seitenwind, Bremsaktionen nach Landungen und Lenkungen am Boden sind jetzt leichter und realistischer zu handhaben in der Simulation. In der Kombination mit der Bodenplatte des Thrustmater Warthog Joysticks, knnten die Ruderpedale ruhig etwas weiter auseinanderliegen.
First rudder set I use with any PC flightsim.
Works very well and smooth right out of the package. Can really recommend it.
Macht was es soll. Wurde problemlos von Win10 mit P3D4erkannt.
Hatte Bedenken wegen dem geringen Pedalabstand. Ist aber durchaus OK
Amazon a repris ces frais, remboursement en 48h, deuxime envoi par Amazon super rapide.
Plus aucun soucis de configuration.
Je m’en sert tout les jours depuis 6 mois aucun problme pas grippage des pdales, trs bonne sensibilit, j’ai retrouv le plaisir de piloter mes hlicos.
Ottimo prodotto, settaggi precisi, replica perfettamente il comportamento di una vera pedaliera di aeromobile, basta settare la sensibilita a livelli in medio bassi poich se di default piuttosto sensilbile .
Prodotto acquistato assieme all’hotas Thrustmaster Warthog. Completa in maniera perfetta il sistema di controller di volo. Il rudder si pu gestire assieme agli altri dispositivi Thrustmaster con il software T.A.R.G.E.T e costituisce l’ecosistema TM. Consente la frenata oltre che il controllo di timone e ruotino.
Sembra semplice e pacchiano ma costruito bene rispetto ai vecchi thrustmaster finalmente hanno migliorato la qualit dei materiali e si attacca bene al pavimento non scivola e in pi ha possibilit di usare i 2 pedali come freni comodit unica. se vogliamo unica pecca che come supporto software per vari giochi non sempre trovi i settaggi precaricati nei giochi ( la fascia media da tante case non viene considerata) ed
un peccato invece logitech si ma ultimamente logitech non pi quella di una volta come qualit.
Cmq ottimo do solo 4 per il supporto software di certi giochi i settaggi precaricati non esistono peccato davvero, cmq a sto prezzo lo ricomprerei cmq volare con tutto il set un altra cosa.
Really added another dimension to my flying game. Everything is much harder and more difficult to control, which adds realism.Contol was expensive but I’m glad I forked out for.
Ce palonnier fonctionne trs bien avec le simulateur FlightGear en freeware sous Windows, condition de crer un petit fichier xml dcrivant les trois axes de contrle (ex: T-Rudder.xml), et de rfrencer ce fichier dans “joysticks.xml” en plus du joystick principal.
Thrustmaster T.16000M FCS Hotas
Excellent throttle unit and good joystick. Setting up the software, which needs to be downloaded, was a bit of a fuss compared to most other sticks (like the Thrustmaster HOTAS X which is just plug’n’play). But there are plenty of adjustment options in the program, if you need to deal with any key conflicts, repeat speeds, etc that you may get in a particular game.
On the throttle, your index finger is on another analogue joystick. This can be used like a 4-way switch like the other HAT switches, or as a proportional joystick – excellent for vertical/sideways thrust controls in Elite Dangerous!
The main joystick has excellent sensitivity, but I miss having some more buttons on top to be controlled with my thumb.
The throttle unit can be bought separately and (they say) used along side any joystick. If you’ve thinking of buying just the throttle unit to go with, say the Thrustmaster HOTAS, it’s worth noting that the joystick in this set has much better stick movement sensitivity.
Ich habe lange berlegt und mir dann doch einfach mal diese Ruderpedale bestellt und ich muss sagen: Ich mag sie! Sie sind sehr przise, man hat gut Halt darauf, sie sprechen gut an und wenn man sich an die vernderte Steuerung gewhnt hat, mchte man gar nicht mehr ohne sie fliegen.
Was hier immer wieder gesagt wurde stimmt, die Nullstellung ist zu schwammig, auch wenn sie so gerade noch ok ist.. aber da knnte, bzw. msste Thrustmaster einfach eine straffere Feder einbauen und schwupps, das Problem wre Geschichte.
Dennoch bin ich sicher, dass sie mir lange gute Dienste leisten werden.
Do un 4 solo per i materiali utilizzati … troppo plasticoso ma nel complesso funziona in maniera eccellente … provvisto di piedini in gomma che non lo fanno spostare di un millimetro durante l’utilizzo. ..per chi ha poco spazio oltretutto ha un ingombro pi contenuto rispetto ad altri rudde
Ottimo prodotto le dimensioni sono contenute ma allo stesso tempo i pedali sono gradi e anche comodi, i rumori e gli attriti sono molto ridotti e il feedback molto buono insomma ottima qualit-prezzo
Sind meine ersten, kann also keine Vergleiche anstellen. Folgendes kann ich aber sagen:
– Pedalwiderstand nicht anpassbar.
– Fusttze (der hintere Fersenclip) abnehmbar.
– Einfach per USB-Pdel an den PC anschliebar.
Hat man kein Thrustmaster-Joystick oder so (wie ich), kann es trotzdem in Spielen genutzt werden. Die Pedale werden einfach ohne weiteres Zutun als 2. Joystick erkannt. Ruder ist hierbei die X-Achse und Bremsen wird als Y-Achse erkannt. (Nur eine Achse!)
Auf der Webseite von thrustmaster gibt’s ein Kalibirierungstool, aber eigentlich ist alles direkt ohne weiteres Gefumme nutzbar.
Un ottimo prodotto, vale il suo prezzo.
Abbastanza robusto, si adatta a qualsiasi simulatore di volo (DCS, FSX ecc).
Ottimo anche il software di gestione.
Consigliato a tutti i piloti virtuali.
L’azienda Thrustmaster sicuramente al top nella produzione di divice per computer, una garanzia.
Encomiabile, come sempre, anche Amazon.
Sehr przise nutzbar, 3 Achsen linke und rechte Bremse und Ruderpedale laufen sehr sauber und liessen sich ohne Probleme Installieren, nutze diese fr DCS und Elite, gute verarbeitung
Excellend adition to my flight sim cockpit and the Thrustmaster Warthog Stick & Throttle set.
Fliege IL2 Cliff of Dover und Battle of Stalingrad. Die Rudder sind in dieser Hinscht sehr ntzlich, allein schon beim starten der Flugzeuge.
Am Anfang sehr gewhnungsbedrftig, aber mit der Zeit nicht mehr wegzudenken. Man kann sehr gut und sehr feinfhlig damit umgehen.
Essay sous X planes 10 ok.
Emballage ok mais on voit ce qui est envoy, il aurait t meilleur d’avoir un film plastique opaque autour du colis afin d’viter les risques de vol.
Working fine, easy to install. Sliding mechanism is smooth and free running. Brake pedals also feel smooth. I am using this alongside Saitek Flight Yoke, Throttle and trim wheel with no problems.
Light/Small perfection on rudder pedals.
Configurations give a bit of work…more than expected.
as about sensitivity: its a brilliant product.
I am Super happy with it.
However as an initial review after a few hours use I can find little to complain about the pedals themselves.
The pedals have an RSJ 12 Connector for connecting directly to the Thrustmaster T HOTAS 4 along with an RSJ 12 to USB adapter to enable you to connect directly to PC via USB should you want to mix and match to a HOTAS system of your choice.
I am currently using this with a 3 year old Saitek X52 Pro HOTAS with no problems in Elite Dangerous.
First thing to say is that this is the third set of rudder pedals that I have owned. I initially started with a set of Simped rudder pedals which while robust, were too wide for my liking. This was follows with the Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals which lasted me for 3 and a half years until one of the toe break spring mountings gave way with no warning.
Initial impressions of the Thrustmaster pedals are very favorable. Whereas both the Simped and the Saitek pedals needed to be secured somewhat to the floor with the latter secured through Velcro strips on my carpet, the Thrustmaster Rudder Pedals are stable enough on carpet due to the lack of resistance on the pedal sliders with no need for worry about finding a way to secure them further.
The individual pedals each ride on a pair of aluminium rails. Thrustmaster have named the system S.M.A.R.T, Sliding Motion Advanced Rail Tracks. There is just enough resistance for you to gauge the pedal position, without having to worry about the pedals moving on the floor. Furthermore as I use an office chair on castor, I had no issues with the chair itself moving involuntary due to the pedal resistance, a problem I found with both of my previous pedals.
In game, I found them to be accurate and easy to use, with the only problem being that due to the lack of resistance that it was easy to find a little bit of right rudder being applied inadvertently. However I was able to adapt to this and learn to relax my feet in to the center detente on the pedals. It is possible that I could adapt the centre dead-zone with the Thrustmaster TARGET software downloaded from their website, but my initial experience of the software is that it feels very unintuitive to use.
In general though, I have to say this is the best set of rudder pedals that I have used, and even at the 90 pounds that I paid, the cheapest. Certainly from initial impressions, these are the best pedals that I have ever owned, with the feel being just right out of the box.
The pedals also incorporate a toe-break function pivoting through the center of each foot when resting on the whole pedal. I have not been able to test this much at the time of writing, but again I find that the motion is very smooth and fluid with little resistance, without the fear of activating it unbidden. I hope to update this review at a later point after tesing it both on Elite Dangerous on the planetary vehicle, and on Flight Simulator X on Steam.
One thing to finish on is that although the Thrustmaster Pedals come with attached heel rests, there are removable (through a supplied allen key) for any budding pilots who prefer to fly resting their heels on the floor (like real pilots). However while using the pedals using my shoes, the heel-rests never felt uncomfortable to use in this position.
I bought this to use with my Thrusmaster Warthog Hotas Stick and Throttle and the DCS World Flight Sim.
These are excellent great feel and accurate, very smooth motion.and travel with good quality feel to the unit.
Flying with these make It quite simple to control swing on takeoff even without rudder trim dialed in on the P-51 and also makes it natural to sideslip and use crosswind crab and wing down techniques during approaches.
Cons: bit too easy to find that your inadvertently applying rudder a stronger center intent feel would maybe help feel the natural center while you are busy, typically during landing and pattern work but in a short amount of time you soon get used to it.
