Currently, Im using my MFFB2 joystick and have been for years. I still love it and the Force feed effects in ROF are amazing. Im thinking of getting rudder pedals also, instead of using the twist thing on the joystick. Can anyone recomend a good set? The Saitek looks nice. CH pedals look very close together and somewhat cheap, but Im only going by pictures, I havent used any of them. Also, how is the logitch G940? Ive read a lot of problems with it, but I like the idea of mounting them on either side of the keyboard and it already comes with pedals. Any advice is appreciated. Rob

The Saitek pedals are good. Nice and far apart. I wouldn't suggest their throttle quadrant, because for many people it starts spiking pretty quickly (including me and some of my squadmates), but the pedals are fine indeed. Stick with your MFFB2. It's the best stick there is for Rise of Flight, no exceptions. Also, if I were you, I'd keep it nicely in front of you rather than to the side. A Sopwith Camel is not an F16. Control these planes from their centre of inertia (am I saying that right?) and you will feel a lot more connected to the plane. To answer your question in short: Rudder pedals.

Another satisfied MSFF2 and Saitek pedals user. I also have an X45 that I use just for the throttle part. The X45 stick is ropey but the throttle lever is a thing of great beauty imo

SimPeds are another high quality alternative. I use them in combination with a CH Fighterstick and am very satisfied. I have the SIMPED-vario/proUSB specifically as I don't need the toe brakes.

The CH pedals are definitely NOT cheaply-built. +1 I love my CH Pedals. Very nicely made and work great. The spacing between the pedals is just fine for me, as well as some others I know. I would whole heartedly recommend them to anyone who was looking.

Same setup here, the Simpeds are great, makes getting your sight on target a lot easier when the rudder pedals are this accurate.

SaitekSaitekSaitekWhy? Simply because they are overall the best, not to expensive like the Simpeds, no to small movement range like the G940 or CH pedals, can be adjusted so even when they get less and less resistance over the years you simply adjust them up and have them as strong as before.

I have CH Pedals. Too close together. Logitech are also too close together. Simped and Saitek make pedals of the proper distance apart for a fighter. Not sure which is better in other areas, as I've never used them. I'm hoping to buy Simpeds someday; many of the best sim pilots use and love them.

CH pedals work very nicely.

Definatly get rudder pedals, I used a homemade set for years, they. They worked very well but I had an urge for something new and so purchased the Saitek Combat Rudder Pedals...WOW, these things are nice. Very precise, comfortably wide spaced and the fighter type layout is much better than having your foot trapped in the traditional foot rests. I have never had CH or any other commercial rudder pedals, but I really like the Saitek Combat pedals and so can recommend them. Edit: By the way; Happy Birthday!!

I got a set of Saitek Pro Flight Combat Rudder Pedals last weekend and really like them. The pedals are metal and very solid.

I use G940 rudder pedals but I find the self centering too positive. For fine control I fly without shoes and with the resistance at minimum. However that first movement from the centre is often a slight jerk.
Do not be led into temptation. Find it for yourself

Now imagine you had to control the pedals wearing heavy wool lined boots and with legs that are numb...
Undercarriage lever a bit sticky was it, Sir?
