Customer Review: Correcting for Yaw
Summary: 5 Stars
In the world of flight simulation, there are many ways to pilot the aircraft that come with the programs. For a couple of years after getting my first computer, I was held to the keyboard and later adding the mouse for controlling various planes and helicopters. It wasn't to hard to control, but certainly not very realistic.
Having enough of those controls, I got a joystick with minimal axis control, but definitely better than the keyboard/mouse route. After a couple of computers along came a force feedback joystick with twist motion for yaw control. That was a great big step up in terms of precise control, especially on or near the ground. I still had to use buttons to handle differential breaking or braking at all, but it was really a time-saver in terms of steering the taxiways and multitude of runways at larger airports.
Today I own an iMac computer and I am using X-Plane version 9. The best part is however, I am on Day 3 with the CH Rudder Pedals. Unbelievable!!! Differential Toe Brakes, who would have thought that could be so great? And as in real-life aviation, I fly a VFR Skyhawk, I can see the position of the plane in a turn and add or lessen the amount of Rudder deflection. For an amateur Flight Sim enthusiast, you would be amazed at the control you now have. Reality never felt so REAL!
Customer Review: Toebrakes work perfectly in MS CFS2 and MS FS2002
Summary: 5 Stars
Under controller assignments 'assign axis' both Microsoft FS2002 and CFS2 menues allow assigning the up and down movement of the pedals to the toebrakes, right and left. Pushing (forwards and backwards) on pedals moves the rudder. It all works perfectly giving a variable analogue brake, the harder you push the more brake you apply. Taxiing the plane using rudder and brakes together works smooth and is easy to control. I velcroed the pedals to a large plywood sheet and attached the sheet to the desk legs with small angle brackets and machine screws. A large sheet so I could later move the pedals around to different positions on the board. I use this setup: Fighterstick USB, ThrottlePro USB, Pro Rudder Pedals USB, all CH branded. All 3 of these combine with CH's software to make one huge virtual device. So if you then go to Windows control panel's game control applet you see 1 device not 3. That one device has six axis and 32 buttons! Never calibrate it there (doing that will screw it all up). Instead ONLY calibrate it in the CH software.
I assigned those six axes to: 1 HorizStickX 2 VertStickY 3 Wheel on the stick (Fuel mixture lean/rich), 4 Throttle, 5 Right brake, 6 Left brake. FS2002 would let me assign them to other controls if I had prefered).
So far no problems with these fine CH products.
Customer Review: Best Pedals for the money and AMERICAN MADE.
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Customer Review: "Total Control True Realism"
Summary: 5 Stars
Hi I have been flight siming for quite sometime and recently made the Jump to real world piloting both fixed wing and rotary aircraft. The fellas I fly fixed wing with and my instructor for rotary aircraft all agree that my use of flight programs with this equipment has translated into a more fluid, focused training experience. The only thing one does not quite experience is the actual mechanical tactile elements and forces of "G" associated with real world flying. Otherwise When in X-Plane, FX or 2004 Microsoft programs you are real as you program it. This is also true of older Ubisoft titles which fly well and much more acurately than with Logitech controller Sticks. Logitech has just come out with controllers like Ch-Products and Saitek. The Jury is not in on these yet. Try landing on the pitching deck of a carrier in Lomac IL2 or Pacific fighters. You`ll get a real thrill/chill and a sense of accomplishment. Especially when battle dam-aged I love CH-Products READ what you can do W/CMS Software. We have Joy Lt Scott St. JohnCustomer Review: Worth the upgrade from the twist stick
Summary: 5 Stars
The CH Pro Pedals add a lot of realism to the flight simulator experience. It took a few sessions to de-program myself from wanting to twist the throttle stick (my rudder control before getting the Pro Pedals). The pedals allow you to get that muscle memory and familiarity with the real world controls. When I first started using them, I intuitively wanted to push the right foot forward to go left, as if I was controlling a steering wheel with my feet or driving a tank. I'd hate to make a beginner mistake like that on a real plane! The pedals are of good quality, a little heavier than expected which helps them stay in place even on some carpets. I agree with some of the comments about the pedals being a little close together - I would like them farther apart. I also think the cord in the back should not stick directly out from the back, as it will be stressed if you have a tendency to push the pedal base against a wall. Overall recommended for anyone looking to enhance the realism of their flight simulator experience.
