The VIRPIL VPC ACE-Torq are single-axis rudder pedals with an adjustable clutch damper and 14-bit contactless digital sensors, designed for flight simulation on PC.
Their distinctive clutch damper lets you tune the axis resistance and return, from smooth self-centering to holding the pedals in a fixed position, ideal for helicopter or space flight. Built with a CNC metal frame and cast aluminium pedals, they are part of the VIRPIL Controls range.
