Controls Suggestions

Post by :FI:Dr_Strangelove » Thu Jul 20, 2006 10:29 pm

Ok so I have one of these: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/produ ... NTID=10714" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

And I am finding that the rudder controls might not be as good of an idea as I thought initially.

Can anyone reccomend me a set of rudder pedals to go with this thing if I was looking for something?

CH Products, no question.

Nice heavy base and toe brakes, I love mine.

OK, do the CH products work with a Logitech stick or do I need to get a CH stick and throttle?

Is this need due to quality or just because it works better?

Well I got a home bogde conversion on some old racing pedals, but a bit too sensitive as the main control but assigning them as "Trim" works quite well.
I guess at the end of the day its well engineered quality that will win the day.

Cant say re compatibility between CH pedals and a logitech stick, but my pedals work fine with my Saitek x45.

Does anyone know where I can find these for less than $100? Seems that right now the only place I can find them is a specialty Flight Sim store.

Thanks for the links Sneaky but both of those are not USB versions. I guess I will look into the $100 ones maybe next week.
