How do I adjust the rudder tension?
There is a dedicated tension knob on the rudder axis that you can turn to increase or decrease the resistance of the rudder pedals.
Can I adjust the angle of the pedals?
Yes, the metal pedals are designed with adjustable angles to ensure maximum comfort for different users.
What is the benefit of Hall Effect sensors?
Hall Effect sensors are magnetic and have no physical contact, making them wear-free and highly precise for consistent and accurate input over time compared to traditional potentiometers.
What software is recommended for use with these pedals?
They are compatible with major flight simulators like Microsoft Flight Simulator, X-Plane 12, and Prepar3D. X-Plane 11 is also supported.
Troubleshooting
Pedals not recognized by the computer.
Ensure the USB cable is securely connected at both ends. Try using a different USB port on your computer. For Xbox, verify the connection through the Xbox Hub and Alpha XPC.
Inconsistent rudder input or jitter.
Check for any obstructions around the pedals. Ensure the Hall Effect sensors are clean and free from dust. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Pedals sliding on the floor.
Deploy the included carpet spikes if on carpet, or ensure the rubber grip pads are clean and in contact with a smooth, hard surface. Consider using a non-slip mat underneath.
Toe brakes not functioning independently.
Confirm that the pedals are correctly identified in your flight simulator's control settings. Ensure no conflicting inputs are assigned to the brake axes.
