VIRPIL designed the R1 pedals so the FALCON and LEGEND footplates can be swapped between them.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"I own the R1-LEGEND pedals. Why would I fit FALCON footplates?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The R1-LEGEND ships with full-foot, warbird-style footplates with an optional foot strap. Fitting the FALCON footplates gives you the shorter half-foot, modern combat style instead, so one set of pedals can suit both warbirds and modern jets, helicopters or space sims.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"I already own the R1-FALCON pedals. Do I need these?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"No. The VPC R1-FALCON Rudder Pedals already come with this footplate style.

The R1-LEGEND footplates are a full-foot design based on classic warbird pedals, with an adjustable pedal length and a heavy duty foot strap. Both are all-metal and fit the same R1 pedal assembly.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Do the footplates change how the pedals work?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"No. The yaw and toe brake axes, VPC contactless digital sensors, cams and centring spring are all part of the R1 pedal assembly. The footplates only change the part your feet rest on, so the pedal feel, precision and software setup stay the same.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Are the footplates metal?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes.

Pedal angle (a 20 degree range), pedal spacing and the optional tilt are adjustments on the R1 pedal assembly, so they work the same with the FALCON footplates fitted.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Will these fit my older VPC ACE rudder pedals?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"VIRPIL presents these footplates as part of the R1 pedal series, and we have not confirmed fitment on the earlier ACE pedals.
