warbird-inspired footplates with foot straps. The mechanism and all adjustments are identical, the difference is purely the footplate style.

It reduces spring bounce when returning to centre and can be adjusted to hold the pedals in a deflected position, removing the centering force entirely. It's particularly recommended for helicopter and space sim pilots who want smooth, drift-free rudder inputs.

modern combat style footplates. The mechanism and all adjustments are identical, the difference is purely the footplate style. Both are swappable, so you can purchase either footplate set separately to change the style of either pedal model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat is the optional damper upgrade kit and do I need it?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eThe R1 Pedals Damper Upgrade Kit adds a high-quality hydraulic damper to the rudder axis. It reduces spring bounce when returning to centre and can be adjusted to hold the pedals in a deflected position, removing the centering force entirely. It's particularly recommended for helicopter and space sim pilots who want smooth, drift-free rudder inputs. For fixed-wing combat and GA pilots, the standard cam and spring setup is excellent on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eHow does the twist dial spring tension adjustment work?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eThe R1 features a twist dial that adjusts the spring pre-tension continuously without any disassembly or tools. Turn it to increase or decrease the centering force on the fly. This is combined with the swappable spring weights and cam profiles for an enormous range of possible configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat cam should I use?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eSoft Center (pre-installed) suits most pilots, providing a subtle tactile centre marker without being overpowering. Hard Center gives a stronger, more definitive centre point, ideal if you frequently need to precisely return to neutral. No Center removes the detent entirely, best combined with the damper kit for helicopter pilots who want the pedals to hold position without returning to centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eAre these compatible with all sims?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eYes, the R1-LEGEND connects as a standard USB HID device and is compatible with every sim that supports controller inputs: DCS World, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, X-Plane 12, IL-2 Sturmovik, Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous and more.

Wind the damping up and the pedals feel planted and deliberate; back it off for a lighter, faster response. Set it to its firmest and the pedals will hold wherever you leave them, which is exactly what you want when balancing the tail rotor in a helicopter or holding a sideslip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- ══ COMPATIBILITY ══ --\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"pcs-section-label\"\u003eCompatible with\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch2 class=\"pcs-section-title\" style=\"font:800 22px\/1.25 'Poppins', sans-serif !important;color:#0d1b2a !important;\"\u003eFits the VPC R1 Rudder Pedals.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-cpair\"\u003e\n    \u003cfigure\u003e\n      \u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/p1simgear.com.au\/products\/virpil-vpc-r1-legend-rudder-pedals\"\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-cpair__tile\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/2391\/1241\/files\/Virpil_R1_Legend_Rudder_Pedals___Player1_Sim_Gear__6.webp?v=1778751659\" alt=\"VIRPIL VPC R1-LEGEND Rudder Pedals, compatible with the R1 damper upgrade kit\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003cfigcaption\u003eVPC R1-LEGEND Rudder Pedals\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\n      \u003c\/a\u003e\n    \u003c\/figure\u003e\n    \u003cfigure\u003e\n      \u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"\/products\/virpil-vpc-r1-falcon-rudder-pedals-nz\"\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-cpair__tile\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/2391\/1241\/files\/VIRPIL_R1-FALCON_Rudder_Pedals_Player1_Sim_Gear_8.webp?v=1778641920\" alt=\"VIRPIL VPC R1-FALCON Rudder Pedals, compatible with the R1 damper upgrade kit\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003cfigcaption\u003eVPC R1-FALCON Rudder Pedals\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\n      \u003c\/a\u003e\n    \u003c\/figure\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-compat\"\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"pcs-compat__title\"\u003eThis R1 damper kit is compatible with both R1 rudder pedal models:\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cul class=\"pcs-compat__list\"\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/p1simgear.com.au\/products\/virpil-vpc-r1-legend-rudder-pedals\"\u003eVPC R1-LEGEND Rudder Pedals\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"\/products\/virpil-vpc-r1-falcon-rudder-pedals-nz\"\u003eVPC R1-FALCON Rudder Pedals\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- ══ SPECS ══ --\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"pcs-section-label\"\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch2 class=\"pcs-section-title\" style=\"font:800 22px\/1.25 'Poppins', sans-serif !important;color:#0d1b2a !important;\"\u003eR1 Damper Upgrade Kit — full spec sheet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-specs-grid\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"sk\"\u003eSKU\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sv\"\u003eVPC-631-001\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"sk\"\u003eType\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sv\"\u003eHydraulic damper upgrade kit\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"sk\"\u003eDamping\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sv\"\u003eAdjustable\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"sk\"\u003eForce profile\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sv\"\u003eLinear and constant\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"sk\"\u003eHold deflected\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sv\"\u003eYes — no return to centre\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"sk\"\u003eInstallation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sv\"\u003eTool-light, a few minutes\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"sk\"\u003eCompatible with\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sv\"\u003eVPC R1-LEGEND \u0026amp;
