Not so much a help question as an advice question. I would like to purchase rudder petals. I have never had any before. So are there any recommendations. Have you had good luck, bad luck, hard time setting up. Do you have size 10 feet like me?
I would like a consumer's report before I put down the cash. Any advice is very much appreciated.

Well, they are a bit pricey, but CH pedals have proven their worth with me. I have also heard good things about SimPed, but I think they are pretty steep also...anyone use them?

CH, Thrustmaster ( do they still make them since the 'merger'? ) and SimPed; I am sure there are others...

Thanks, the CH pedals were the ones I was looking at. If you received good service out of them I'm sure I will too. It's nice to hear (read) what an owner of a product thinks.

I would build them on my onw. Its much cheaper and it gives your pedals a personal note

Search for "rudder pedals" or so in the forum. There are some links and usefull stuff...

Silas,

I have CH Rudder Pedals, Normal not Pro.

And Size 12 feet.

The pedals are a bit small for my feet, but they are SOOO easy to set up in Windows 95/98 that even I could do it with no problems.

Gets more difficult if you try to put them with Microsoft joysticks tho' ... so I've heard.

Actually, next time, I will make my own ... it really looks like fun.

Regards,
MW

Bonjour!
I was made my own pedal, joystick throttle and steering. I use my pedal for the both device and it work very well.

It's not really difficult to do, but you have some things to know. If you want more info, e-mail me.
