Has Anybody Used.......

Postby Fly2e » Wed Apr 28, 2004 8:44 am

Any type of Pedal System. I am considering getting these to enhance my flying experience!! I am using the Saitek control system and love it, see below:

I was considering adding some pedals to my et up to really make it closer to the real thing. See link:

Anybody using pedals and if so, do you like them and are they worth it?
Thanks for your time!

Dave

Dave,

IMHO.........

Until you have used pedals you have NO idea of how much they add to the sim.

Thanks for replying John, I appreciate it. That is all I wanted to hear. Now if only my system (which UPS has taken control of), would arrive! I think I will be adding this! Thanks again John!!

Nice setup Fly2e! You've got the same keyboard as me - im not too sure how you use it at that angle though!

Thanks Bird! I only use the keyboard for a few assignments really. I have gotten used to looking and using it that way!

I also use the X-45 and absolutely love the HOTAS combo...my only problem in using pedals would be that my left middle and forefinger would feel awfully neglected if I stopped using the rudder under the throttle!  lol
Great edit, Bob.
