HOTAS Noob - Anti-torque pedals?

Hello!

I just ordered the Virpil Aeromax stick with the little throttle guy that bolts onto the side. After a lot of research, I decided to go for this guy ala buy once cry once. It seems to be a pretty decent product and I've heard a lot of people recommend Virpil (among others).

I typically fly helicopters in games like Battlebit, Battlefield, GTA, and now Wardogs (super excited).

I've been reading that foot pedals are pretty important for helicopter piloting? I know that the stick I purchased has a twist axis, which is also lockable if I decide to grab some pedals down the road.

I must express my profound ignorance as I am just getting into the space but I just wanted to hear from more experienced folks in the hobby about flying helicopters with these sort of peripherals.

Thanks so much for your thoughts, whoever stops by!

TLDR; Can I fly pretty happily for a while using twist axis for anti-torque while I see if I want to delve deeper and grab a set of pedals?
