Have you checked out VKB’s option? I have a set of their T-Rudder pedals coming in that I’ve heard great things about for not much more price-wise than the Logitechs. All metal, precise and smooth motion, compact design. Only they don’t offer toe brakes and the motion isn’t like a typical horizontal rudder axis, but more of a vertical motion. I figured those would be more comfortable and easier to work with in a spinning chair than the traditional kind anyway. These will be my first pedals so I’ll be sure to give my first impression here soon whether they will be worth it or not over the ole faithful twist stick.

I usually listen to modern composers when on the way to work every morning. It's about a ~30 minute commute without traffic through winding country roads, so listening to this while the sun is just rising really hits differently. Puts you in a great mood to think and reflect and plan for the day. Here's Olafur Arnalds, and Lambert (a pianist), a couple of my favorites.

Thank you for the warm welcome Beans! Do you happen to have the TS pw on hand or should I be getting that another time? Also, in keeping with the Luftwaffe theme I felt it more appropriate to go by a German display name. I hope the sudden change isn't forbidden!

How's it going everyone! I've been searching around for a group to help improve my flight sim aviation skills as I can only learn so much on my own, along with make new friends and accomplish team-oriented sorties with. I'm new to the flight sim world having only a few months under my belt but I'm glad I discovered IL-2 as it checks all the boxes for what I've always found an interest in - WW2 air combat. JG1 is also very appealing specifically because of my interest in German BF109's and FW 190's and the men who flew them, and the historical ode to a real Luftwaffe unit. I hope to contribute to JG1 any way I can although I am very much a beginner. What is your Timezone? UTC -04:00 (Eastern US) Do you have a joystick or HOTAS? Yes Do you have TeamSpeak and Discord installed, as well as a working microphone? Yes Do you have VR, TrackIR, or a FreeTrack system for view control? TrackIR What sims are you currently flying? Mostly IL-2, with some DCS and MSFS How did you hear about JG1? IL-2 Forums Is there anything else that you'd like us to know? I'm active duty military so my availability changes unexpectedly, with upwards to a month gone at a time for training events, however when I'm home I'm getting as many virtual flight hours in as I can! Hoping I can use this passion to get a PPL one day.
