Best Rudder Pedals Available?


Recommended Posts

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.

I've had my CH pedals for over 7 years and they still work perfectly. Same goes with the rest of my CH set up.

I have CH pedals and they work great, only pedals I've owned so can't assist with a comparison.

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.

I think that the best (combat) pedals you can buy are these:

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.

Yes they are closer, but I'm 6' 2" 200lbs and I fly with them weekly for 2-6 hours at a time and never had a problem with them. 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.

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???

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
