If you just plug 'em in and boot up AH the defaults (I think) are push/slide for rudder input and down/up for left and right wheel brakes. You have the options of switching that up either with AH joystick set-up or the SST software.

Two nice things about the Saitek peds:
1. There's a shoe/foot size adjustment
2. There's a tension adjustment

I think I have still have 2 brand new rocker style CH pedals. That is if they are the ones that had the swtich on the base to set for either cars or planes. Actually I've used one a couple of times when my old TM pedal spring broke and I had to wait for a new one so it's got about 5 hours on it. MY TM peds have 13 years of abus...use on them. :)

Ok, the Av8er from saitek doesn't have force feedback does it?

Should I get that or find an old precision 2 from microsoft?

Got a question dint know we can use something from one mark to another mark stuff.

I have x45 saitek stick with throttle. and my joystick some keys are getting damage. Can I put the saitek x45 throttle with another joystick?

Cause the throttle is connected to the joystick and the joystick to the pc. Can I do that so I dont have to buy the hold set?

CrazyOwl.

the connection of the  throttle  to the joystick is a 15pin i think and the joystick to pc is USB.

You should be able to do that.  At one point, I used racing pedals for rudders.  The wheel that pedales were connected were relegated to laying on the floor out of the way, with its buttons and axis not mapped in AH.  I used that in conjuction with a Saitek Cyborg 3d gold.

In other words, you would have to leave your x45 stick connected, but reassign the controls to your new stick.
