this is brand new rudder pedal for PC in development at the korean flight simulator company.
they just posted this picture at 3 days ago and they didn't say any of market cost or features yet.
but as you see, each pedal has a different angle so it seems to have toe brake feature....? :)
input method of this rudder pedal will be USB but they are testing general gameport also.
supporting structure for prevent slip of this rudder pedal is in develpoment so it didn't show in below images.
well, I don't know anymore but I will post if they post another info to their website.
this company's name is "NURI Aero Precision" and URL is http://www.f16nuri.com but it's writen as a korean language.
top of this image is real F16 rudder pedal unit and others are for PC.
all of below images are provided from NURI Aero Precision.

hi Nexx :)
oops..I missed some of info they were already posted on their website.
first, there are toe brake! you can control this toe brake as a simultaneously or independently.
simply, you can left toe brake, right toe brake or brake left and right at the same time.
second, they said rudder axes has a sensor. I don't know what it means exactly but I guess it's same device
like a digital sensor unit of MS precision joystick.
toe brake has two method of input. button type or analog input type. (don't know it's digital sensor also or not)
third, it's compatible with all of TM gears but there are still testing this rudder pedal with TM's new Cougar.
release date will be early May 2002.
finally, development director is former korean air force F16 instructor. Umm..!
I hope it's not much expensive.. :)

It's probably a HAL sensor, magnetic device that won't wear like a conventional pot. I've seen rudders like these before and they cost around £800 but I hope those you showed above might be cheaper but looking at the all metal construction I doubt it. I could justify the £250 I spent on my Cougar I would struggle to justify paying £800+ for a set of rudder pedals unless I won the lottery then it would be 'bye bye' to my CH Pro pedals :)

Those are gorgeos...
-
looks awesome. thanks for the heads up feed. Please keep us posted on ordering info, prices, etc. :)
-
Just eyeballing the pedal castings and the cylinders and the materials and machining, that rig is going to cost at least $1000.
The real F-16 rig probably uses RVDT to measure pedal travel. Cost for the game rig goes even higher if you start using transducers like that. This is not going to be an entertainment product unless you are quite wealthy. :)
-
they said it's a popular edition although this rudder unit doesn't seem popular edition.
I'm sure they know importance of price but no one knows until they let us know it.
well, I'm just waiting and praying :)
P.S : sancho. I heard they're contacting trading company and making english manual but I don't know either it goes to direct region distribute or developing website based ondering form.
-
schwiiiiiing !!!
-
they posted it's expected price.
price will be between 250$ and 320$. they are working on the packaging and finishing.
well, I expected 200$..is it sheer robbery? :)
BTW, it's korean market price and I don't know price of outside the korea will be same or not.
-
Looks good but even if that is the price outside of Korea that is too rich for me. I would like to have a set but the way I see it from a manufacturing viewpoint is that they are going to cost way over $250-$320 USD. Having just spent nearly $300 on my Cougar HOTAS I will keep my TM RCS pedals till they fall apart and I can no longer repair them myself.
-
At $300 the only guys getting robbed will be the manufacturer. This will be a nice companion to the Cougar. :)
-
<$300 and it'd be getting my attention too.

Does the site say if the pedal angle is adjustable? The angle looks a little too vertical for use in anything but a cockpit.

Ok where is the damn link on that Korean page to see these pictures there? I have clicked on each one and can not locate them.
-
Reschke.
they posted it to their bulletin board and all of those are writen as korean language and they uploaded it as BMP format.
so I'll bet you can't find that damn images unless check the each thread on their bulletin board.
SOB. I'll ask it to them and if they answer it, I'll post it.
-
I knew it had to be one of those foreign language things. :D Hell I hate foreign languages and I have to learn German for my job. ;)

Ya all gotta admit how nice they'd look sitting next to my ALL METAL Cougar (which by the way arrives tomorrow :D)
It may even be time to get serious about buildin' a SIMPIT, and those all metal rudder pedals would certainly be the way to go, along with some of these (http://www.therealcockpit.com/shop/index.html)
While a fella was at it a fresnal lens would seem like a must.
Plus one of them new fangled hands-free head tracking mouse thingie maggies, (http://www.flightsimcentral.com/fsc/trachanmous.html) so ya could pan view just by turning your head....
I wonder how long I'd have to "beg" the wifey-poo to get her permission to by all that stuff?
-
My Cougar will be here tomorrow. I'll plant it into my simpit this weekend and finally get airborne again. You hear that LLBM?
-
SOB. here's their answer.
"Thank you for interesting in our rudder pedal. Yes. we have thinking about it and we did adjust pedal angle but we are on the horns of dilemma between reality and conveniences" :)
they didn't answer about is it adjustable or not.
Edbert. what is LLBM?
-
Feed, when translated into english, LLBM means "one who is gay and flies like a sissy" Thanks for the info on the angle!

For $300 they better provide force feedback.
