This video was a lifesaver! I really hate instructions that are drawn like a comic book 🤣

[@dylxn5882]

[@riishiraja1000]

You got instructions?

[@sontran20]

Thank you for such a detailed video. I liked that you gave an overview on how the dampers feel with warbirds, jets, and helicopters. Interesting to hear there is a slight damper effect even with the dial all the way down . I’m thinking of getting a set to use with helicopters when the springs are removed. Then use it with jets and warbirds when both springs are installed.

Great info 🤘

Thanks for this - I have a set of pedals and the damper on the way. it looks like it would be much easier to do this before the base is installed? One request though for the future, could you turn your volume up some? I had my speakers turned all the way up and couldn't hear you.

[@bigbangerz5856]

Well the base will come fitted from Virpil unless you are talking about mounting it to a platform. I'll try with the audio I'm still a total noob tbh when it comes to making content so I don't own lapel mic's and things like that yet.

@@bigbangerz5856 Thanks again. This video is going to be realy helpful.

[@ChadGPTu]

Thanks for the video! Question, did you experience any stiction with these? I am feeling a good bit.

[@bigbangerz5856]

there is a little bit yes, I've not added any additional lubricant but I probably will at some point. If you pump the pedals left & right prior to take off it reduces it further. I think the thing you have to ask yourself is do I want multiple pedal sets that are setup to excel for their respective use or do want 1 set for flying (jets, warbirds, helis, GA & spacesim), 1 for driving and that's it...
