Yes, my girl bought me Saitek rudder pedals :)

[Anders_And]

Anyone here have any experience with these rudder pedals in this game??
I have been using the twist of the MS sidewinder FF 2 joystick to move my rudder and I guess that is a reflex that I will continue with for some time to come...

Now its time to getting used to use my feet when "computer flying" !


Best regards

I have the msff2 as well and almost think I would have to switch to ch products stick to not use the twist lol

Did u get the Pro combat pedals? I love that design.

No experience with those pedals, but does your girl have a likeminded sister or something?!

Hi Anders (K ),

The Saitek rudder pedal is a good design :
- comfortable (wide enough for grown man comfort - humm I mean that you don't hve to be a Castra to feel comfortable with both your feet in that position for hours )
- rugged (mine still works after 5 years of use - a record for any Saitek product !)
- averagely precise : it's way more difficult to get a precise yaw angle with your feet acting on a mechanical device with no force feedback than with a hand rotation on a stick.

But with 6 month of use you'll get used and accept the loss of precision against the added "realism"

~S!

PS: Flank, You beat me on that one

Congrats on the pedals!

I've had my G940 since May, and still can't fly as well as I used to with twist rudder!

At least she won't be able to complain about the amount of time you'll have to practice, practice, practice!!

I have bought them a long time ago, but after a quick test I've put them aside. My feet were not as precise as my right hand ... Now, friends tell me that with the right profile one can get used to pedals within a week ... So be sure to adapt the response curves ... And fix properly the base to the floor

Is that so, precision wise? I have been playing with the thought of getting pedals for quite a while now, mainly on the basis of being more precise. That is not the case?

No. Precision is less.

It might be that in a next future when electro-damped components wld be introduced that we get something as precise. But for now a single poor spring can't do the trick with all the muscles we have in the legs.

It is not the same as in the Dash-8?

I have the Simped F-16/C and I do love them, great feeling...

I have the G940 setup and I love the pedals, I find them pretty easy to get on with..I don't think your find any that are as easy or precise as a twist stick though tbh
