It shouldn't take you more than a couple of hours to get used to the pedals.  When I first got my CH Pro Pedals, it only took a few hours of flying to get used to them.

Well u must be a natural akak. Im starting to get better but each plane seems to have a little different feel to it. Im enjoying seeing  the new tricks I can pull off though :) Man what a scissors the 109 can do now with no icing down the wrist aftwards lol

When I first got my pedals, it was in '95 and I was still in AW4W.  Being an old DOS based game, which probably made them easier to get used to since they weren't as sensative as they are in AH.

But I'll have a go


Agreed. If my MS Sidewinder cost $20.00 (counting shipping and handling!) I sure as heck can't put out $150.00 on a pair of rudder pedals, especially when I have to get a new comp anyways.

Are there any leads on CHEAP pedals? I mean cheap in cost, but at least adequate (or maybe "decent") in quality?

I only ever hear of CH pedals. And CH is synonymous with "$$".

CH is also synonomous with serious play.If ya fly a butt load,ya want good equiptment and as far as immersion,ya cant beat it.

$150? I thought they were closer to 100 or 110. I really love the CH Flight stick (i just hope the hat holds out) and was thinking about getting the pedals. I think I'll keep the x45 for throttle. I just wonder if one plays maybe 15 - 30 hours a month if its worth the extra for the pedals. Also mostly I fly a spit so do I even need them? I have emergency rudders on the x45 as a rocker, but I never use them. $150 aint gonna break me but I'd hate to waste money (especially when there are rib eyes to buy).

I got the non-USB pedals off Ebay for $64 including shipping.  Add in a $16 dollar USB-converter and I spent $80 in all.

Hrm... Still too much :(

If it were more like $60 or so I might be able to afford a set in a few weeks.

So back to the original question: What are the non-CH options?
