After years of using the Xbox One controller (and before that a ■■■■■■ Wingman 3D extreme with a dead zone like an elephant), I finally puchased a yoke + throttles. Since the (non-xpc) Honeycomb Alpha yoke is sold for a good price I ordered one. (like 99 euro). I really, really would have bought their throttle quadrant - but its way to expensive for me. So I got the much simpler Logitech with throttle, prop and mix + som add additional buttons which I hope can be used for gear u/d, flaps etc. Then I realized: I have no rudder input! The thing is that I often stand and fly (yeah, ■■■■■■ back). What would you have done in my situation? Should I get som simplier rudder or just set rudder to auto in FS2020 for now? But then I cant do any nice crawl-landings etc - which is very unrealistic. What other rudder solutions are out there?
I do hope I have got a good starter - yoke - kit though. It seems ok for the money. Oh, the Logitech I gave like 79 euro for.
In an airplane you control the rudder with the rudder pedals. You should also do that in the sim for a realistic experience.
Are you running FS on PC or Xbox?
I have for my PC T.Flight Rudder Pedals van Thrustmaster.
These can be purchased cheaply. They are recognized by FS202x and can be configured in the SIM. Sensitivity and response speed, etc., are easy to adjust. You can also download software to adjust things, but that is not really necessary because it can be done in the sim.
You can also use Thrustmaster’s T.Flight Rudder Pedals with Microsoft Flight Simulator 202x on Xbox. However, for Xbox this is only possible if you also have the T.Flight Hotas One joystick, because the rudder pedals only work with this joystick on Xbox. I understand that you only need rudder pedals. Then if you fly with Xbox it is better to buy a different brand of rudder pedals.
On the PC you can connect these rudder peddals individually and you do not need the Hotas joystick. For example, if you already have other flight instruments.

Yeah, if it wasnt for my back. I need to kind of stand up and fly from time to time; then rudders wont work at all. I had been looking at the Velocity One Universal as well (but from reviews, Im keeping away from it). I thought that the combo I got might be the best solution for now - also qualitywize. (and with my budget in mind). But I wish I could use ruddder pedals, jsut for the immersion of the sim. My back IS better, so maybe… =)
…and Im on PC.
