OUT OF STOCK

[ZQuickSilverZ]

I decided to go online and shop for rudder pedals. I am using the ones that came with the G940 and they are pretty terrible. It seems all the rudder pedals sold are "out of stock" on Amazon and Newegg.

 

I have noticed a lot of Flight Gear lately being out of stock.

 

This and the fact no one has stepped up and made another Force Feedback stick (since the awful discontinued G940) really concerns me.

 

Are the controller companies abandoning us flight simmers?

 

What is the deal?

Ya, i've noticed the out of stock problem before. Maybe they aren't making very many at a time? Not sure. Thrustmaster just announced new rudder pedals so they should be in stock soon. Not sure how good they would be. I don't think anyone has their hands on it yet.

there are not alot of options and there are different price points and you wont find the nice pedals like MFG crosswinds on amazon, as they are made to order i with a lead time.

the new thrustmasters are priced in the PS4 market where above MFG's are high end beauties.

New Thrustmaster TFRP is available on amazon stores, they are cheap and should have a good price/quality ratio (see http://nerdtechy.com/thrustmaster-tfrp-flight-rudder-pedals), but I'm waiting a more detailed review of this device.

I was searching for a mid-end device like the Saitek Combat Pro Rudder Pedals, out of stock, but you can preorder them at crazy price of more than 400$...http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B004ING996/ref=olpOffersSuppressed?ie=UTF8&f_new=true&overridePriceSuppression=1&sort=sip

I took a look at those after I saw your post.

 

I would not buy those. The pedals are too close together. I can't see getting good rudder control with the pedals so close.

Well I can tell you this. If I cant find a pair of decent made, decent priced rudder pedals I may have to find another hobby for a while.

 

I am not paying 400 dollars for plastic rudder pedals..................

 

The MFG's look good but I would like to know the total cost USD before I entertain ordering them.

I thought I read somewhere that saitek had problems with their Chinese factory, and that those Chinese hold saitek's tooling hostage. No idea how true is that, but I sure wish I had waited longer selling my saitek combats, lol.

MFG are high end device with an excellent quality for price, but I don't like their look: I prefer a military type pads like Simped F-16, Slaw Device F16 and Saitek Combat.

MFG cost 256€+62€ for shipping, but you can consider also the BF109 rudder by Slaw Device if you find it used (No more produced)
