 - Great addition for Serious Flight SimmersI use these along with a HOTAS Cougar, which I bought at the same time. I've used the 'rudder rocker' on Saitek controllers for the last 7 years, and am completely pleased with the additional immersion these pedals give. Installation took 3 secs, calibration was dead-on upon installation, center was dead-on within Control Panel and within the sim (F4AF and OF). There are folks in my Virtual Wing who have had these pedals for many years without problems, I look forward to the same. Rating: - Best Pedals for the money and AMERICAN MADE.I have been using the CH Pro Pedals for nearly a year without any problems at all. I also use the CH Pro Throttle and CH Fighterstick for my HOTAS set up and they all work great together. I fly IL2 Sturmovik 1946 and my CH set up works great for this game. I appreciate the quality of craftsmanship built into CH products and have heard many other virtual pilots complaining about their Chinese products falling apart or other tech issues where the CH users don't seem to have nearly as many issues with their products experiencing hardware break downs. The pedals are nice and smooth and stay firmly planted on my carpeted floor. I would strongly suggest any virtual pilot use CH products to avoid the hardware break down issues I am always hearing other pilots complaining about. They may not have pretty blue lights and fancy led screens but, they will far out last those Chinese pieces of junk and provide years of gaming enjoyment for you. See you in the not so friendly skies of IL2 1946 mate and if you see DD_Logos on your six you had better hope your hardware doesn't malfunction. Good flying. Rating:  - CH Products Yoke and PedalsThis product worked great for me although if you are extremely serious about building a flight simulation center you will be paying several times more for the high end stuff. The pedals have 2 issues, one being the fact that you have to find a way make them stay in place as they like to slide around on those occasions when you attempt a difficult landing. The other thing is the exit location for the USB cable is such that you must be careful to avoid pinching it if you would be inclined to place a board between the wall and the pedals to make them stay in place. I did pinch the cable once and they stopped working, which concerned me. The yoke is great, if again it would stay in place. I used a fold up utility table to set up my fly room. So to assist the marginal clamping system that comes on the unit, I used Velcro tape on the underside of the front of the yoke to hold it down. That worked great, but if you are setting up flight school on the dining room table you may end up in negotiations with the wife. The yoke has plenty of programmable buttons and indeed it does take Flight Simulation to a new level. Only other thing is to purchase a real good dual port video card with plenty of memory and add a couple more monitors and you're off.. Rating: - Better than a joystickThese pedals have a realistic z-axis used for rudder control, and x- and y-axes for differential braking. They are more realistic than a twisting joystick. Rating: - A must have for flight sims.I trained, soloed, and earned my pilot certificate in a Piper J-3Cub this past summer. If I had it to do over, I would have bought these pedals at the very start. Twisting the grip on a joystick is not the same as using your feet to drive a Cub on the ground, keeping the ball centered, or slipping to land! If you are a serious simmer or interested in realistic flight training you need these pedals!
