The Thrustmaster T.Flight Rudder Pedals (TFRP) are designed for flight simulation. This guide provides essential steps for installation, calibration, and configuration. Always ensure the rudder axis is centered and your feet are not on the pedals when connecting the device to avoid calibration issues.

Technical Features
- TFRP pedal set
- Rudder axis
- Axes for independent differential brakes
- RJ12/USB adapter (T.RJ12 USB Adapter)
- Removable heel-rests
- Allen key
Removable Heel-Rests
The pedal set features two removable heel-rests for ergonomic customization:

- Foot fully positioned on the pedal: Use with the heel-rest installed.
- Ball of the foot positioned at mid-pedal: Use with the heel-rest removed.
To remove the heel-rests, use the included Allen key to unscrew the two screws on each heel-rest and remove them from the pedals. Reverse this procedure to reinstall.
Installation on PC


- Connect the TFRP pedal set's male RJ12 connector to the female RJ12 connector on the adapter.
- Set the adapter's selector switch to the AIRPLANE position.
- Download and install the PC driver and custom Windows Control Panel interface from https://support.thrustmaster.com.
- Connect the adapter's USB connector to a USB port on your PC.
- The adapter's LED will light up GREEN.
- Access the Control Panel via the Start menu to test and view all functions in the Game Controllers dialog box.
Installation on T.FLIGHT HOTAS 4 or T.FLIGHT HOTAS ONE
Do not use the RJ12/USB adapter for this setup.
- Connect the TFRP pedal set's male RJ12 connector directly to the female RJ12 connector on the back of the T.FLIGHT HOTAS 4 or T.FLIGHT HOTAS ONE joystick.
- Connect the joystick's USB connector to your PC or game console.
Advanced Software
When using the RJ12/USB adapter, you can utilize advanced software:

- Advanced Calibration Software: Allows adjustment of dead zones for the rudder axis and differential brake axes, and saving settings to the adapter's internal memory.
- T.A.R.G.E.T (Thrustmaster Advanced pRogramming Graphical EdiTor): Enables advanced programming, configuration, and profile sharing.
Automatic Calibration
The pedals' 3 axes calibrate themselves automatically after a few movements and after reaching the physical stops for the rudder axis and the two differential brake axes. Always leave the rudder axis centered (without placing your feet on the pedals) when connecting the device.
Troubleshooting
- Pedal set not working or improperly calibrated: Power off your PC, disconnect the USB, reconnect, power on, and restart your game. Ensure the selector switch is set to AIRPLANE and the LED is GREEN.
- Cannot configure pedal set: Check your game's Options/Controller/Gamepad or Joystick menu to select the appropriate configuration.
- Sensitivity issues: Ensure automatic calibration is complete. Adjust sensitivity and dead zones in your game's controller settings or use the T.RJ12 USB ADAPTER Calibration Tool.
