Looking for some wise advice about Pedals. I see many models, and price ranges.

CH Pro look good. Simple and effective. Are they any good?

Also, does anyone know of a good place to buy? At reasonable price? Amazon not always best.


Thanks.

CH pro pedals are pretty flawless. Mine are several years old, never had a problem. I stick with CH Pro everything. Good Luck.

My CH Pro controllers are as precise as when I first upgraded to USB to play Il-2 Sturmovik. That's 12 years of hard use.

Thanks to everyone.

I appreciate the advice. Looks like CH Pro are very reliable and sturdy. I have a MS Sidewinder Joystick, but from what I have been reading at the forums, Pedals are the only way to go.

May stabilize my flying and my aim!

If I could find even a good set of pedals that are used. I'll keep looking on eBay. thumbsup

I have the Saitek pedals and love them, the first set of pedals I had was Thrustmaster Elite or some such thing, went to the Saitek, after I wore those out. Pedals really are the only way to go.

A tip for flying with Saitek pedals:
I was always afraid to break something in the heat of the battles.
So I never keep my shoes on when flying.
I pull two pairs of thick wollen socks on (so my feet won't get cold).
This gives me a much more sensible feeling for my kicks and pushes.
Never broke anything so far.

The Saitek pedals are tough, I have no fear using them. I usually end up wearing "Ropers" which are lace up high top boots quite often worn by Steer Ropers (hence the name). They are what I wear to work and I don't change out of them to fly. The Saitek pedals are adjustable (the center wheel) for tension.

...and for the foot size too!
And they offer toe breaks for WW2 planes.

Nice find! That is also a very good price, from what I saw before. Thank you............ thumbsup


Wearing socks sounds like a good idea.
