Cerulean

I did look at the Virpil throttle and it looks awesome. Trouble is it costs as much after the exchange rate and shipping to get it into Canada as the entire TM HOTAS. I could probably just use a throttle quadrant to add those axes.

I am using a TM Warthog. Great HOTAS but lacks alternative axes. Is there any hardware out there that I can use to give me a few more slider and dial axes?

Thanks. I guess I'll stick with the G pedals. I'm a casual DCS user. I try to get in a mission, mostly offline because I live in remote Canada where internet is poor, 4 or 5 times per week. I shoot a lot of nature videography and I have found DCS to be an excellent training tool for practicing the flying of camera drones. It teaches one to think in the 3D world of flight.

Tell DCS to treat your 3 monitors as one monitor. Set your width to 5760x1094 and your aspect ratio to 5.26. But the key is to set the 3 monitors up so DCS sees them as one big monitor.

I am fairly new to DCS. I had been using a Saitek X-52 Pro for several years for other purposes and it worked flawlessly. Yesterday Amazon ran a crazy sale on TM Warthogs and I bought one, so now rudder pedals will be a necessity. I actually wanted to make the sim feel more real so I bought a Logitech G rudder pedal set, last week, before I even bought the Warthog. But I hear mixed opinions on these. They are rated 4.5 stars on Amazon but some persons say they suffer longevity issues. I was wondering if anyone could give their opinion on the Logitech G rudder pedals. I know the company sometimes gets some hate but I've been using their keyboard, mouse and a G13 for years without issue, as well as the X-52 Pro (which is from the Saitek days before Logitech was supposed to have improved the quality control). Sometimes I think persons just like to hate on the mid-price range stuff. But I'd just like some honest opinions on the long term use of the Logitech pedals. I'd like to get VDK pedals but I live in Canada and between shipping and import fees, they would cost almost twice as much. Honestly, if the Logitech G rudder pedals are likely to last a few years, I would just as well keep them. I'm not hard on equipment and I can say they are very accurate. If they last, I'm good with them.

I just bought a set a couple weeks ago. So far, exactly accurate on all axes, and the reviews are good for longevity, too. I had tried two CH rudder pedal sets but both had faulty pots out of the box (even on powered USBs). Gave up and went with Logitech which has never let me down.

I'm brand new to the forums--my first post here. Hope this helps. I have a Saitek X-52 and it must have been one of the really good ones. It's four years old now and works flawlessly. Keep thinking maybe I should get a Warthog or something from Virpil or VKB but can't really justify it while the X-52 works with absolutely precision on all axes after over 1000 hrs of use and still going strong. But I have a lot of experience setting it up. Do all your setup inside the DCS configuration software except for the mouse and slider. Use the Saitek (now Logitech) software to configure the mouse as a four way hat (it's pretty useless as a mouse), and configure the slider as a switch (I use mine to operate the speed brake), or use the slider as an axis to control your landing gear brakes. Prior to opening DCS, open the X-52 hardware, select the profile (I use the same profile for all aircraft and choppers), double click the profile, then to the right of the folder icon you'll see an icon that looks like a little target. Click it. That turns on the profile. Minimize the X-52 software and you're good to go.
