The VIRPIL R1-FALCON Rudder Pedals represent the latest evolution in high-performance simulation hardware. Designed with a modern, combat-style half-foot plate, the R1-FALCON provides 3-axis input (yaw and independent toe brakes) within a rugged, all-metal chassis.
Utilizing VPC Contactless Digital Proximity Sensors, these pedals offer professional-grade precision for desktop pilots and cockpit builders. Whether engaged in air-to-air combat or navigating deep space, the R1 series delivers the durability and adjustability required for elite-level simulation.
Certain VIRPIL configurations may experience extended manufacturer allocation timelines depending on production scheduling and demand. While many orders arrive within our estimated shipping window, select products may require additional lead time.
Modern Combat Design & Build
- Half-Foot Combat Plates: Cast aluminum footplates designed for modern jet and space sim ergonomics.
- CNC Metal Frame: A heavy-duty, all-metal internal mechanism ensures long-term reliability.
- Anti-Tip Base: Large, ultra-stable floor plate keeps the pedals planted during intense maneuvers.
- Fluid Motion: High-quality ball bearings on all axes for a smooth, consistent feel.
Precise 3-Axis Control
Independent axes for comprehensive flight control:
- Main Rudder Axis: 14-bit native resolution with 0.02° accuracy for precise yaw corrections.
- Left & Right Toe Brakes: Independent inputs for authentic ground handling and differential braking.
- Magnetic Sensing: Contactless technology eliminates mechanical wear and signal jitter.
Mechanical Customization
Includes a complete tuning kit to match your preferred response:
- Three Cam Profiles: Includes Soft Center (pre-installed), Hard Center (tactile detent), and No Center (linear).
- Swapable Springs: Choose between Standard and Heavy spring sets for the desired centering force.
- Quick-Adjust Tension: Integrated twist dial allows for fine-tuning spring tension without disassembly.
Ergonomic Adjustability
- Variable Spacing: Adjust the width between pedals to suit your cockpit or seating preference.
- Angular Adjustment: Set the pedal angle across a 20° range for personalized comfort.
- Modular Plates: Compatible with R1-LEGEND full-foot plates (sold separately).
Connectivity & Expansion
- Plug-and-Play: Standard USB connection for PC flight simulations.
