Foottroller for flight sim: rudder and toe brakes

Use Foottroller as analog rudder and toe brakes in flight simulators. In Foottroller hub vJoy panel — Rudder and Brakes mode, left-foot pointing steers yaw and each foot’s tilt is a separate brake. It is a compact alternative to a full rudder-pedal set for Microsoft Flight Simulator and other PC sims that accept extra analog axes.

What you can control

rudder, left brake, right brake

How the mapping works

left-foot pointing → rudder; each foot’s tilt → a brake axis

Who this is for

compact desk setup; not a load-cell pedal frame

Video walkthrough

Use Foottroller for independent rudder, left toe brake, and right toe brake in Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Foottroller Hub's vJoy mode - Rudder and Brakes maps left-foot pointing to rudder and each foot’s tilt to a separate brake axis.

For details, watch the setup and walkthrough video.

FAQ

Is Foottroller a replacement for rudder pedals?

It can stand in for rudder and toe brakes on a desk setup. Hub maps left-foot pointing to rudder and each foot’s tilt to a brake axis. It is analog foot tilt, not a load-cell pedal frame, so feel and travel are different from a dedicated set.

Does it work in MSFS 2020 / 2024?

Yes, in Microsoft Flight Simulator if the sim can bind extra analog axes. Use Foottroller Hub vJoy — Rudder and Brakes, then assign those axes in MSFS controls. Confirm your MSFS version after you bind; the mapping method is the same.

Do I need vJoy and Foottroller Hub?

Yes for this mode. Install Foottroller Hub, enable the Rudder and Brakes mode, and leave the control box in the mode the video shows. Without Foottroller Hub/vJoy, the sim will not see separate rudder and brake axes.

Can I use it seated?

Yes. Seated is the normal way to fly. Keep both feet on the sensors; pointing the left foot yaws, tilting a foot applies that side’s brake. You do not need walk-in-place or four-way locomotion for flight.

What does each foot do?

Left-foot pointing = rudder (yaw). Left-foot tilt = left toe brake. Right-foot tilt = right toe brake. Hands stay on the stick or yoke.

Will it work in other flight sims?

Any PC sim that lets you bind analog rudder and brake axes can use the same vJoy device. We document MSFS first. If another sim does not see vJoy, contact support@jptiinc.com.

Do I need a gamepad or yoke as well?

Yes. Foottroller only covers rudder and brakes. Pitch, roll, throttle, and views still come from your stick, yoke, throttle, or keyboard.
