So I want to upgrade my setup.

[dudeman17]

I have made up my mind that I have gotten addicted enough to Dcs that I'm going to upgrade my setup from my Logitech extreme 3D pro to something better. I have already made up my Mind that I'm going to get the thrustmaster warthog however I need to also get rudder pedals I want the best of the best (of course) which as I see it are the satek pro flight combat rudder pedals however they appear to be any where between $600 and $1200 that is rediculious and I can't afford them. Is there something I am missing with these or are they just over priced. Also is there another option that is has the same features like the toe brakes and adjustments just at a lower price.

 

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

The Saitek's are on worldwide back order, hence the high prices.

 

The MFG Crosswinds and VKB T rudders are considered better than the Saiteks.

My opinion only....but MFGs *are* better than Saiteks. Not even a close fight IMHO.

I bought crosswinds a couple months ago and have a set of Saitek pedals I was going to list here anyway. If your interested, send me a pm.

This is the normal price for Saitek pedals:

But as seem that Saitek are going south, the production was stopped, and smart people are speculating with price, eventually they can find a fool that pay that prices. :lol:

 

Thrustmaster has just announced a new Rudder Pedal, although not a "high end" model, electronics wise on par with Saitek models, read: low cost potentiometers.

If it's top quality you are looking for forget the saiteks. The mfg crosswinds get the best reviews of any product I have ever seen http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=119419

 

I don't have them yet due to terrible exchange rate at the moment but when I can afford it I will definitely get them.

My new TM pedals are due to arrive next Tuesday so I can compare them with my existing CH pedals that are causing me some issues. Will write a little comparison summary soon.
