The VIRPIL R1-FALCON Rudder Pedals are a three-axis pedal set for PC flight and space simulation, with yaw plus independent left and right toe brakes, all-metal construction and VPC Contactless Digital Proximity Sensors.
The FALCON is the standard foot-plate variant of VIRPIL's R1 platform. VIRPIL states it is compatible with all simulators and games supporting controller inputs.
Special order. This product is factory-allocated by VIRPIL Controls, with an estimated total delivery timeframe of 27–60 business days.
The FALCON is the standard foot-plate variant of the R1 platform. Mechanically it is the same pedal set as the LEGEND — the same sensors, the same all-metal build, the same tuning parts — with the plates VIRPIL supplies as standard.
VIRPIL states compatibility with all simulators and games supporting controller inputs, so the decision here is about foot-plate preference rather than about capability.
VIRPIL specifies 3-axis input on the R1 series:
the primary rudder control.
separate left and right braking, so you can brake one main wheel at a time for taxi turns and crosswind rollouts.
no wiping contact to wear out, so no developing spike or drift.
VIRPIL's two headline characteristics for the R1 series are contactless sensing and an all-metal build.
Three cams and two springs are supplied:
pre-installed; smooth through centre.
a distinct centre detent.
linear travel with no centre notch.
Heavy (pre-installed) and Standard.
VIRPIL states the R1-FALCON is "compatible with all simulators and games supporting controller inputs."
connects by USB; a USB cable and an AUX cable are both supplied.
VIRPIL publishes an R1 Pedals Damper Upgrade Kit for the R1 series, sold separately.
The standard foot plates are the variant VIRPIL supplies with this model.
The supplied No Center Cam gives linear travel with no centre notch.
VIRPIL states compatibility with all simulators and games supporting controller inputs.
Independent toe brakes are the capability a two-axis set does not provide.
Three cams and two springs change the centring response mechanically.
