Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 announced.

Anyone using Virpil flight pedals per chance? I'm considering adding them but I don't really understand the difference between the 4 sets on the website and the prices are very similar so I don't think its a case of more expensive is better,

Am not, but as far as I can tell three of them are identical other than the foot pedal style. There's a choice of two, or the 'Collection' option which includes both.

The Torq pedals don't have toe brakes and seem more focused towards helicopters. The way the axis is oriented looks odd to me, means you'd be controlling them by rotating your feet at the ankle rather than pushing with your legs as with conventional pedals.

Only difference is the foot plates they come with, there are two different types or you can get the package with both

Thanks for this, I am 99% space sims so whilst it would be good to have stuff that I can do both in, that is my primary focus. It seems some people use roll or yaw on them depending on preference. I guess the one with both would be a good choice then so I can see what I find more comfortable, I just have a feeling they'll take me too long to get used to and I won't like them. Though that stuff holds its value well on a plus.

edit: Thanks @Rikk

Have you all purchased this or playing on gamepass?
Is it worth playing now as I heard it was plagued by bugs on release?

It's still in poor shape ... akin to an early beta. I'd wait a few months, certainly don't pick it up at full price. If you must try it I'd suggest buying 1 month of Game Pass and playing it that way.

Finished a 2 hour flight. Landed. Once again the box to stop in was at the end of the runway behind me. Went to turn around and the aircraft cut out (20% fuel left, not sure what happened). Couldn’t get it to restart whatever I tried and just gave up in the end.
