Need to get rudder pedals, and CH are the obvious choice, but I've heard that some people find them too narrow. Simpeds seem to get great reviews but the only site I can find

http://shop.strato.de/epages/Store6....=/Shops/219707

is currently out of stock for the no-toebrake versions (budget doesn't run high enough for the version with brakes!).

Does anyone know of alternative stockists for these pedals? I'm in UK.

Also, this is my first step out of fairly cheap all-in-one flightstick/throttles. What can I expect precision-wise from the CH products? A big difference?

Thanks.

Im going to order my Combatstick maybe by the end of next week, Ill come back and share my impressions.Im gonna go for the Ch throttle quadrant and I am still debating wether or not to get the Ch pedals because of them being narrow.I like the saiteks more but getting everything from one brand seems to be the logical choice.

So did someone come up with the best solutions?

I expect to keep my MSFF2, and I'm looking for a throttle and maybe new pedals (I have driving pedals). I'm thinking of the CH quadrant throttle, any other suggestions on the best throttle/pedals to go with the MSFF2?

Best solution?
Depends on the guys taste/style of hardware i think?

Best solutions in my mind are currently:
Thrustmaster Warthog with Saitek combat pedals.
Or if you like forcefeedback: Logitech G940 with saitek combat pedals instead of the pedals that come with the G940.

Or if you like ulta reliability then CH fighter or combat stick with their pro-thottle and throttle quad for more axis to bind to stuff and saitek combat pedals.

I silently hope CH will finally launch their new Hotas in 2011 complete with new redesigned pedals. (see me begging for info: http://www.ch-hangar.com/forum/showt...cts-2010/page4 )

It would be a shame if Ch launched new gear a few months after I make my purchase,that would suck .

Yeah i am also afraid for that.
in April 2010 i got a honest answer from CH products that they would not launch a new hotas in 2010.
See: http://www.ch-hangar.com/forum/showt...3029#post43029

Buts its not 2010 anymore.
Maybe if you guys also post in this thread we can get a honest answer again from CH about 2011:
http://www.ch-hangar.com/forum/showt...cts-2010/page4

I am so afraid that if i buy a Warthog (that is not cheap) and it will break some time in 2011 or 2012 that i will think back and regret not going for CH setup.
Or buy a Thrustmaster Warthog and then suddenly CH finally launch the commercial version of their A-10C stick (military version: http://www.ch-hangar.com/SiteFiles/I...d_IITSEC_2.jpg)
Of course their commercial A-10C stick would blow the warthog out of the water quality wise.
Don't care about the extra buttons the warhog has on the throttle base, i can make that myself with a Leo Bodnar usb chip (http://www.leobodnar.com/products/BU0836X/ or http://www.leobodnar.com/products/BU0836A/ )

So you think perhaps the Saitek combat pedals then :)

That's really handy if you think they're the best regardless if the rest of gear, although I can't see them for sale anywhere.

I'm tempted to pickup the CH Quad Throttle now, as I don't have a separate throttle yet.

Luftwaffepilot 01-30-2011 08:50 PM

woot? Ch wants to make a A-10 stick replica too?

What's so special about A-10 sticks.

Why not a good WW2 era stick and throttle set-up?
I think it's a gap in the market isn't it?

Very small gap - dont interest the major brands (Saitek, CH, Thustmaster, Logitec...)

Some guy made they own.

Take some drawings:

And original manual for KG-12B:

http://www.cockpitinstrumente.de/arc...%20KG%2012.pdf

Take some metal an carve you grip:

http://www.escuadron69.net/v20/foro/...personalizada/

Or get 1:1 plastic model of KG-13B:

http://hyperscale.com/images/controlstickbg_2.jpg
http://hyperscale.com/2009/reviews/k...9stickbg_1.htm

Assemble and make a mold plug and replicate in more resistant resin:

http://www.escuadron69.net/v20/foro/...f-a-escala-11/

Or cast in metal, like this guy.

Realist, the more WW II era look that you can buy is this...

And, the simulation market shout for more "Jet Fighter" sticks, ie. A-10 look from CH...
