The damper works alongside them by resisting the speed of movement rather than the position, so it takes the edge off sudden inputs and stops the pedals bouncing or oscillating as they settle back to centre. Wind the damping up and the pedals feel planted and deliberate; back it off for a lighter, faster response. Set it to its firmest and the pedals will hold wherever you leave them, which is exactly what you want when balancing the tail rotor in a helicopter or holding a sideslip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- ══ COMPATIBILITY ══ --\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"pcs-section-label\"\u003eCompatible with\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch2 class=\"pcs-section-title\" style=\"font:800 22px\/1.25 'Poppins', sans-serif !important;color:#0d1b2a !important;\"\u003eFits the VPC R1 Rudder Pedals.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-cpair\"\u003e\n    \u003cfigure\u003e\n      \u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/p1simgear.com.au\/products\/virpil-vpc-r1-legend-rudder-pedals\"\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-cpair__tile\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/2391\/1241\/files\/Virpil_R1_Legend_Rudder_Pedals___Player1_Sim_Gear__6.webp?v=1778751659\" alt=\"VIRPIL VPC R1-LEGEND Rudder Pedals, compatible with the R1 damper upgrade kit\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003cfigcaption\u003eVPC R1-LEGEND Rudder Pedals\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\n      \u003c\/a\u003e\n    \u003c\/figure\u003e\n    \u003cfigure\u003e\n      \u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/p1simgear.com.au\/products\/virpil-vpc-r1-falcon-rudder-pedals\"\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-cpair__tile\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/2391\/1241\/files\/VIRPIL_R1-FALCON_Rudder_Pedals_Player1_Sim_Gear_8.webp?v=1778641920\" alt=\"VIRPIL VPC R1-FALCON Rudder Pedals, compatible with the R1 damper upgrade kit\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003cfigcaption\u003eVPC R1-FALCON Rudder Pedals\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\n      \u003c\/a\u003e\n    \u003c\/figure\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-compat\"\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"pcs-compat__title\"\u003eThis R1 damper kit is compatible with both R1 rudder pedal models:\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cul class=\"pcs-compat__list\"\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/p1simgear.com.au\/products\/virpil-vpc-r1-legend-rudder-pedals\"\u003eVPC R1-LEGEND Rudder Pedals\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/p1simgear.com.au\/products\/virpil-vpc-r1-falcon-rudder-pedals\"\u003eVPC R1-FALCON Rudder Pedals\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- ══ SPECS ══ --\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"pcs-section-label\"\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch2 class=\"pcs-section-title\" style=\"font:800 22px\/1.25 'Poppins', sans-serif !important;color:#0d1b2a !important;\"\u003eR1 Damper Upgrade Kit — full spec sheet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-specs-grid\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"sk\"\u003eSKU\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sv\"\u003eVPC-631-001\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"sk\"\u003eType\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sv\"\u003eHydraulic damper upgrade kit\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"sk\"\u003eDamping\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sv\"\u003eAdjustable\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"sk\"\u003eForce profile\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sv\"\u003eLinear and constant\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"sk\"\u003eHold deflected\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sv\"\u003eYes — no return to centre\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"sk\"\u003eInstallation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sv\"\u003eTool-light, a few minutes\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"sk\"\u003eCompatible with\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sv\"\u003eVPC R1-LEGEND \u0026amp;
