I use the CH Force FX,  CH Pro Throttle, and an old, old TM RCS that I have modified to allow me to fly with my heels on the floor. Like Sancho, I like the wider spread and longer throw on these pedals.

As a matter of interest, other than modifying the feet placement, I also removed the coil spring that had a tendency to break with 1/2" bungee cords. The good one's like the truckers use. It gives me more feedback on how much I have my pedals moved because it gets stiffer the further you push em.

I have not had to replace any portion of any of the components  other than the spring on the rudder pedals and have found them to be trouble free.

A very curious combination:
Saitek X36 USB plus F16 FLCS (pots dead) + TQS + CH pedals.
TQS in digital mode works fine as a RMP control.

Sidewinder Precision 2 optical USB.

I may see what rudder pedals would work for me one of these days.  I find myself applying throttle without intending to, especially in tense situations.

For now, the Sidewinder works great

MS Precision Pro I optical.

Works like a dream as long as you dont rough it up. It won't get spiky, but it develops a slack centering if twisted too hard.

Anyway, I'm not planning to switch, must be the only m$ product I like.

Microsoft Force Feeback 2 here.

It's such a vast improvement over the original one that it's untrue. Smoothest, most responsive joystick I've ever used.

JUst waiting for the selection of USB throttles and rudder pedals to improve, then I'm going shopping  

BTW if anyone is ever board and wants to play with their 'twisty stick' try mapping the 'rudder' to panning the view and the 'throttle' to view pitch. It's well odd =)
