Don't see how they look any better tbh.

Here's the reason, for me, for choosing Saitek this time though


Shame there are no FFB pedals

Obviously preferably would be......

I was buying the Saitek rudder pedals 2 weeks ago, and my flying is terrible now!
My feeling for stalling is lost after this change (7 years of flying without pedals)! But there is enough practice on the new Dogfightservers online! 1 month and it will be better then before (please let it be true)
PS: Sorry for my english

My wife also bought me for christmas pedals (i have no idea which ones, but she asked a good friend and long-time wingman so they`ll be fine) Are we so easy to rumble?

They `re the saitek ones! We will see but it will be the better alternate, than the wipp-switch of my saitek x-45 anyway! So watch out! )

I bought the Saitek pro pedals many years ago now and they are still as good as the day I bought them and I love them.

It will definitely take a few weeks to master them though and you need to be careful not to instinctively push against both together to move away from the desk or you'll pop the inner guide mechanism and have to pull them apart and reset the inner mechanism.

Yes, "Spitfire on my tail" by Steinhilper is a good book. Congratulations to the rudder pedals as well. Take good care of your precious girl. The mentally sane ones are unfortunately very rare.
