Pedals

Postby Spades » Tue Jul 10, 2007 7:22 pm

Oaky, I just got my x52 and now I'm looking for some pedals. I've noticed that the CH pedals and the Saitek pedals are almost the same price, so I'm wondering what the differences are (quality, feel, realism, etc.). Thanks in advance for your help.
low and....well....just low.

good!

now, im guessing ull get the Pro Flight Pedals from Saitek right?

well, i dont know much, but i do know the the size of the actuall pedals is adjustable on the saitek, and the tension is also adjustable.

i dont think the CH Pedals can be sized adjusted, and i dont know about the tension.

id go for the Saitek ones...

I've got the "pro"pedals from CH (USB version) and they are less than satisfactory. Had them for about a year now and the pots don't work right (skip and drag) and the pedals stick mechanically. Also, I have never been able to configure them for use in the Combat Flight sims. CH hanger hasn't been much help either.

Others seem to think they're fine.

I don't know about the Saitek but I don't plan to buy another set of CH.

Saw a set on the web a few months back that look like they may work but they were about 300 bucks or so.  Haven't  investigated any further.

Unlike Gringo's experience, I have had the CH PEdals in my simpit for years now...and they work great.

When the Saitek pedals came out I was seduced by the pictures........ and then I looked at them physically in person.
