Thrustmaster TPR Pendular Rudder Flight Simulation Pedals
Experience the feel of real aircraft controls with the Thrustmaster TPR Pendular Rudder, a premium rudder pedal system designed for flight simulation enthusiasts. Featuring a suspended PENDUL_R mechanism, H.E.A.R.T. magnetic sensors and an all-metal construction, it delivers smooth, precise and realistic control of the rudder and differential brakes. Its adjustable pedals, customizable resistance and compatibility with PC flight simulators make it an ideal choice for demanding virtual pilots.
Suspended PENDUL_R Pendular Mechanism
The TPR features Thrustmaster's exclusive PENDUL_R technology, a suspended mechanism designed to reproduce the feel of real aircraft rudder pedals. Unlike conventional sliding systems, this design provides smooth, progressive pendular movement for precise directional corrections.
- Exclusive Thrustmaster PENDUL_R technology.
- Suspended mechanism providing smooth, progressive movement.
- Precise rudder control.
- Detection of subtle adjustments.
- Designed to deliver realistic flight control sensations.
- Suitable for civilian aircraft, military aircraft and helicopter simulations.
16-Bit H.E.A.R.T. Magnetic Technology
The TPR features H.E.A.R.T. (HallEffect AccuRate Technology), which uses three-dimensional Hall effect magnetic sensors. This system measures movement without physical contact at the sensor level, maintaining exceptional precision without wear on the sensing components.
- Patented H.E.A.R.T. magnetic technology.
- 3D Hall effect magnetic sensors.
- 16-bit resolution on all three axes.
- 65,536 position values per axis.
- Advertised angular precision of 0.005°.
- Contactless, frictionless sensor detection.
- Designed to maintain precision over time.
Three Independent Axes with Differential Braking
The rudder pedal system provides control over three separate flight functions. The main axis controls the rudder, while the two brake pedals allow independent braking on the left and right sides, depending on the functions supported by the simulator.
- Three independent control axes.
- One axis for rudder control.
- One axis for the left differential brake.
- One axis for the right differential brake.
- Progressive, proportional braking.
- Precise control during taxiing, takeoff and landing.
- Function compatibility varies by simulator.
Five Adjustable Pedal Positions
The TPR allows pilots to adjust the pedal inclination to suit their preferences. Five available positions provide different configuration options to improve comfort and reproduce the feel of various aircraft controls.
- Five adjustable pedal positions.
- Pedal inclination angles ranging from 35° to 75°.
- Adjustable positioning to accommodate different body types and flying styles.
- Two metal differential brake pedals.
- Designed for extended flight simulation sessions.
Customizable Resistance with Adjustable Springs
The resistance of the pendular mechanism can be adjusted by changing the position of the springs. This allows pilots to select a lighter or firmer feel based on their preferences and the type of aircraft being simulated.
- Two springs included.
- Adjustable spring positioning.
- Customizable resistance to suit pilot preferences.
- Ability to adapt control feel to different aircraft types.
- Mechanism designed to provide progressive pedal return.
All-Metal Construction and Enhanced Stability
The TPR is built to withstand the demands of intensive flight simulation. Its all-metal construction and weighted base provide excellent stability, whether positioned beneath a desk or integrated into a flight simulation cockpit.
- All-metal construction.
- Weight of 7 kg (15.4 lb).
- 32 industrial plain bearings integrated into the mechanism.
- Robust metal base for enhanced stability.
- Can be used without permanent mounting in a suitable setup.
- Four M6 mounting holes for installation in a compatible cockpit.
- Designed for extended use.
Advanced Programming with T.A.R.G.E.T.
The TPR is compatible with Thrustmaster T.A.R.G.E.T. (Thrustmaster Advanced pRogramming Graphical EdiTor) software, allowing users to customize flight simulation peripheral functions and create profiles tailored to different simulators.
- Configuration of all three control axes.
- Creation and saving of custom profiles.
- Integration with compatible Thrustmaster HOTAS joysticks.
- Ability to combine multiple peripherals into a single virtual USB controller.
- Loading of profiles tailored to different simulators.
- Software available for PC.
