JaseGill Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 All, I know that most rudders will be compatible with the new Warthog. I have my G940 on sale on eBay in preparation for the hopeful arrival of the Warthog from Amazon UK on Friday. I just cant get on with it so its got to go (and this is after I sold my Cougar for it!). so, I'm looking for rudder pedals and looking for some advice. Has anyone tried the Saitek Pro Rudder Pedals in comparison with the CH Rudder Pedals? Also does anyone think that the Saitek Pro Flight Combat Rudder pedals will really be worth twice as much as the Saitek Pro Pedals? I know they're all metal and more adjustable but worth twice the cost? Any help much appreciated. Thanks in advance, Jase.

Flim Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 If you want all metal and quality, then Flightlink pedals are great and will last, http://www.flightlink.com/hardware/fixedwing/rcm.html best pedals, but they do cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweinhart3 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Simpeds are good. They use hall sensors and dont have the reliability problems of pots.

JaseGill Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 Thanks guys. very much appreciated. It seems CH are popular and the Saitek Combat's may be worth waiting for. Simpeds I've seen but they are just way expensive given the fact that I have just paid for a Warthog so may have to give those a miss. Same for FlightLinks though they do look amazing.

Succellus Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 CH pedals are too crampled. I had them for 3 years and they where unconfortable after 1 hour at max, i ended up puting the feets on the borders to get more confortable. I m only around 6 feet tall. I swtched for RCS thrustmaster bought on e-bay, way more confortable, i ve put some halls on them with cubby help. But now i mst find a wau to make them USB. Probablt gonna wreck some TM 16000, and rewire. HaF 922, Asus rampage extreme 3 gene, I7 950 with Noctua D14, MSI gtx 460 hawk, G skill 1600 8gb, 1.5 giga samsung HD.

I don't leave me feet in them the whole time though, that might be your problem. Has i sayd i used the border to operate them which caused some slips and was irritating. Anyway they are too cramped period has the TM elite rudders. If you can there s better choices.

msalama Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Sorry for digging up an old thread, but having had Saitek Pros for a year now I've come to the conclusion that they are nothing but cheaply made plastic garbage. The tolerances are far too large, and regardless of having cleaned and lubricated the set many times there's still a position along the trajectory where the feekers just get stuck - a certain kind of a notch if you like, and no amount of cleaning, maintenance and/or tension adjustment eliminates it! Harrumph, this is what you get when you buy plastic shyte methinks - no precision at all :mad: So to conclude I desperately need a new set like right now... any recommendations guys???

Lausbub78 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Unfortunaly there are not many options anymore since Simpeds stopped production. However if you are ready to wait for something like 3 or 4 Weeks you should have a look at this set of Pedals made by a fellow Simmer. http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3782056/Rudder_pedals_prototype_1_poss#Post3782056 He has also a Website aviable since Yesterday http://Http://mfg.simundza.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
