Start with the connection path. Thrustmaster TFRP pedals connect to PC through the T.RJ12 USB adapter or to a console through a supported Thrustmaster controller with an RJ12 port. Turtle Beach VelocityOne Rudder pedals connect directly to PC. On Xbox they use the included pass-through cable with VelocityOne Flight; Flightstick needs the separate cable Turtle Beach supplies through support. Logitech pedals use USB; check Logitech’s product page for the supported setup.

Choose pedals when twist rudder stops being enough
Pedals move yaw to your feet and can separate left and right braking. They also take floor space. Before ordering, sit in your normal position and check that the pedals, chair, and desk leave room for comfortable leg movement.
Keep the stick’s twist axis or rocker if it gives you the control you need and you do not want toe brakes. If you add pedals, assign one rudder input at a time so the stick and pedals do not compete.
For rotorcraft setup and binding notes, see the helicopter and warbird controls guide.
Set up and check the axes
Open the simulator’s controller settings and select the pedal device. In MSFS 2024, use Settings → Controls; in MSFS 2020, use Options → Controls Options. Assign the rudder axis and, when present, the left and right brake axes. Move each pedal and confirm the on-screen input follows it before flight.
For the current profile menu and input search, see Microsoft’s Controller Settings FAQ and the HOTAS setup checklist.
Keep the next step simple
If you are choosing a stick and pedals together, compare the first options in the first HOTAS guide. The airliner hub covers sidestick and yoke packages. For a side-by-side look at the main PC and console options, see the rudder pedals comparison.
