Saitek combat pedals are BIG (Huge)
149 euro (if you look for them not the official 200 euro price tag)
And a lot of metal parts.
I am not talking about the normal saitek pedals.
I am talking about this beast http://www.saitek.com/uk/prod/compedals.html

I've just got a set of Simped vario pro rudder pedals and am really impressed. Similar price to the Saitek.

Have to disagree that these ones move around - using them on carpet though rather than wooden floor - i haven't even felt the need to use the supplied velcro pads. Very nice and very precise control.

Using with CH Combat Stick and Pro Throttle. All excellent.

Simped's are really nice. I tried both, the saitek rudders from a friend and then i bought simped vario pro. Very precise, sturdy and with velcro pads they don't move anywhere. No pots either. They will last you a minimum of 7-10 years.

More expensive that the others available at the time but even if there was a problem I know CH have spares available unlike Saitek who could not supply me with a new support for an Eclipse 2 keyboard just last week, "we do not keep spares, RMA it" Out of warranty so I'm stuffed.

Do they really use their own supports?
Usually such stuff is made by a big keyboard manufacturer and relabeled.
Why dont you take a pic and post it in one of the big PC forums?

Maybe some recognizes it...

Man, I really dont know what to buy, I am kinda paranoid about throwing so much cash at a single game. Over that with the tech problems with the g940 I might just sit on my hand until I play COD and then decide if Iwill invest in the tech, does anyone know if any new setups / options are coming soon that are not incredibly expensive (or any decent force feedback joysticks?).

Im in the same boat Heliocon, would love to buy the TM warthog and can maybe scratch the cash together but have been using saitek x45 and x52 over the last 6 years so would have to buy rudder pedals first as with the saiteks i only used the twist stick setup which i found ok, or maybe i just got used to it over the years, so thats another $200 which takes it to about $780, then there might be some pc upgrades i need

maybe we could get together and rob a bank! Im free most fridays.

Lol well I have been making due with a Logitech extreme 3d pro (twist stick also) - but if I am going for hotus I will probably get trackIR also so its alot, a big problem though is there just seems to be very few options, and all of them seem to have a big con. Like I was leaning to the g940 but with all the bug it has, and the fact that I find its material/build quality alittle "suspect" (all crappy looking pastic) I am just sitting on my hands for now. Too bad you cant go into a store anymore and cop a feel/look at them (yes this was the least dirty thing I could say).
