Murdr: Hold on, I need to get in proper flying attire.

Murdr: Need to take shoes off for rudders
(duel partner): Oh ok, I wondered

shoes or barefeet definitely. Went and bought some of those shoe inserts for $2.00, and laid them on the pedals..

Socks or bare feet and you can really finesse 'em. Shoes make them just as clunky as anything else... but a bare toe can really hurt people...

I also recommend flying in pajamas, but thats just me... Everyone who owns CH pedals knows you fly barefoot.

I hope you got the Pro Pedals, I don't know if they still make the standard pedals, but the Pro's are far superior in every way.

Hmm, have used CH pedals for many years, always wore shoes with no problem. I don't think when I'm using the pedals, just do, if that makes sense. Right now I'm having trouble getting AH to recognize my pedals, but once I do I'll be showing up as an easy target for you all.

Cya in 'da skies.

Fly NAKED!!!!!!!! You get the best feel of all your controls....

On a serious note....flying with the CH pedals was a great improvement! I was flying with rudder on my twisty FF2 stick and was always actually flying with rudder inputs. When I got used to flying with the pedals this went away. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED you will love them.

I too fly in socks or bare feet.....much better than with shoes!

I posted this somewhere else on the forum but will repost it here as well.

I'm using the X52 Saitek.
I turned off the twisty stick and mapped the rudders to the throttle control.
Throttle is now mapped to the thumb slide.

This works great so far. You get very fine rudder control and don't sacrifice your ability to reach any important hat or switch/button on the X52. Your hand is always in positon no matter where the rudder is set. No more unintended twisty stick rudder moves. Great for ground vehicles as well.

I would like to know if any other X52 users could try it and give some feedback. I haven't tried to refine it yet. I get great response from the P38 but wicked quick rolls from a 190 (might need some adjustment for the best of both worlds).

I have a microsoft force feedback 2 and like the twist stick,Dont think I would like the pedals but would like to try them some day.

I just made the twisty to pedal switch after roughly 10 years of twisty . It is one of the most frustrating things ive ever had to do @#$@#$@ . I'm just now starting to get used to them (2 months) . I'm glad that i did it , but there were nights i would have liked to see these pedals put threw a wood chipper .

Did you reassign the rudder to the throttle slider with the Saitek SST software or the AH joystick setup?

I used the AH joystick map
