Thrustmaster Flight Rudder Pedals

Thrustmaster Flight Rudder Pedals (opens in a new tab) is a popular hardware pedals unit for many flight simulators. It works great with a Honeycomb Alpha Bravo combo for much cheaper than the Honeycomb charlie gear.

To make it recognizable by Linux one tweak is needed.

Setup

ℹ️

Difficulty: Medium

Create a udev rule

Create a /etc/udev/rules.d/60-thrustmaster.rules and add the following:

KERNEL=="hidraw*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="044f", ATTRS{idProduct}=="b679", MODE="0660", TAG+="uaccess"

Those instructions work on Ubuntu 22.04.

You should now see your TFRP in the controller settings in MSFS and can map it to your liking.

Warning & utility

Some Proton versions make the TFRP behave erraticaly within MSFS. GE-Proton9-25 work for me but not GE-Proton9-26 nor GE-Proton9-27. To check your gear outside the proton layer, I found the evjstest from evjs (opens in a new tab) utility to work perfectly.
