Saitek Combat Rudder Pedals
 

With the COD looming in the next couple of weeks I have set about sorting out my hardware to use with it.

I am thinking of buying the Saitek Combat Pedals to use for rudder control,alongside my Thrustmaster Warthog Hotas,has anyone used these pedals alongside the Warthog and if so what are they like?

Any comments would be really appreciated,thanks.

I've got a Saitek throttle quadrant and it stinks.
My joy stick also saitek is good tho.
But ill never buy any thing from them anymore as theirs service is !@#$%^!
Just my 2 cents.

Simpeds are best on the market (quality, precision, comfort)....for your wallet pick F16 USB:

Damn wish I had seen these before buying my saitek pedals.

But vario dont have brakes.
If you want brakes you'll be out €280 either way.

so let me see...I had CH and saiteks...well simpeds are way more comfortable than both (greater distance bet. pedals), feels more smooth, more precise, and of better quality...yes, I can live without toe brakes ON PEDALS...
If you want the best pick this...otherwise you can pick saitek stuff...

I do recall having probems when I setup the pedals with rise of flight, the brake changed to fire lol was stumped until I realised the game had used the pedals for flying instead of the joystick, was fun trying to fly with just your feet :D

Anyone know where to get hydraulic pedals? If I search on the internet I only get those big boeing type pedals. which has the pedals quite close to eachother.

I would love to buy some rudders like the simpeds but then hydraulic.

SimAviatik AG had MESSERSCHMITT BF 109 style rudders with Hydraulics some time ago.
But not mass produced. At this time i cant find it on their shops.
Maybe you could email or call them to ask if they will have a other production run.

I have exactly this setup (TM Warthog and Saitek Combat Pedals + Cougar MFDs) and it's working great. I'm very satisfied with the pedals, but then they are only 2 weeks old by now.

I have the regular Saitek rudder pedals. There are the same as the combat ones as far as I can tell, though with plastic foot-rests rather than aluminum.

Anyway I have never had any problem with them. My only minor complaint would be that they tend to "stick" just a little bit in the center. I suspect this is actually a feature to make you more aware of when your rudder is centered but I would prefer a smooth action through the center for fine adjustment/aiming. Anyway I just realized while typing that I could probably fix this by setting a small deadzone so thanks for making me think of it!

Yes, the Combat pedals have the exact same base as the old Saitek unit. The only difference is the metal pedals instead of plastic.

So these are the best to buy? http://shop.strato.de/epages/219707....%2011%20007%22

Seem to include toe brakes and all. Hopefully the shipping to Oz isn't an arm and a leg...

Expect around $100.

Thanks Ghodan I will take a look at this :)

SimAviatik pedal is very nice, but cost a arm (an legs). :P

I wonder how feasible it is to build one with two door gas springs. When the weather warms up, I'm gonna try to construct one. I have the ch pedals, while I have done some mods (increased spring strength, removed center detents), the travel is not smooth even after some WD40. It being only 8bits is also kinda crappy.

These pedals are great I have the vario USB as the ones with brakes are a bit pricey, but these are so comfortable and accurate that although not cheap they are really worth the money.

Shipping worked out at about $50au, but be warned my pedals took nearly three months to arrive in Oz, owing to security measures in Europe, as they were required to be sent by sea.

I can confirm my Saitek Combat pedals arrived,really simple to set up and go really well with my Warthog,great combo.Thanks for all the advice guys.

id love to get this setup, but it cost a hell of a lot of money!

Funny enough, I have the same stuff - and it's a great leap forward from my previous X52/CH pedals combo. Pedals themselves are very good, like adjustable tension too.

In the meantime I got my Simped Vario pro USB pedals....they are fantastic! Very smooth, precise and comfortable....way better than my old saiteks...Logarithmic control response setup proved to be the best for IL2 (with a bit of a tweaking the jaw input values in il2 input screen)....
