Rudder pedals

[Meatwad]

I think I want some rudder pedals.  I already have the X52 setup so could I just buy some USB port type pedals and use them, or would I have to get the entire CH stick and pedals setup?

Yes.

I just bought a set of CH pedal new in the box for 87.00 delivered.

I am using them with a logitech 3d.  I simply disabled the twisty axis in AH2.

Good luck.  I tried rudder pedals long ago when I was flying a lot, and found them more clutter than control improvement.  I much prefer a good twisty stick, and I wouldn't be surprised if real planes don't go that way eventually.

Or maybe some already do?  I dunno.

                              I couldnt play without rudders. First off after your on them awhiles you'll find yourself using both stick and rudders together, landing and taking off, without even knowing your doing it. It just gives you so much more control.

                         And if you fly bombers? Forgetaboutit. When your in gunners positions having the rudders working for you gives you so much more control of the engagement. Even better with little adjustments going into a bomb target. 1st you calibrate, go into front gun position "thats centered correctly, go into F-3 views, and you can make little adjuments going into target with your rudders. As long as you level out first before dropping you should be right on and theres no need to recalibrate.

                      And the best part about it is you can keep looking all around you cause your in F-3 view. I couldnt play without my rudders.

Me too Rich, I've grown accustomed to being able to apply rudder without screwing up anything else...ALSO REAL handy in gv's---ya can make delicate course adjustments with feet while in main gun sight

I've got a set of Saitek pedals coming to go with my X52 set.
After using pedals on my old CH setup and in RL I found it somewhat interesting getting used to the twisty.

Halo, AFAIK, noone has yet adapted this system for aircraft. From what I have learned in design and construction of my own experimental aircraft, you would be unable to put sufficient force into the control to give satisaftory control authority. In short, it would be too hard to turn.

CH is good stuff but I prefer TM pedals for flight sims. I used to have an old gamport saitek stick that I used with my TM pedals. I don't know how or if the USB stuff will go together.

Still using my original gameport CH pedals that I got back in the old AW days along with Saitek X45 and throttle.
All you need is an adapter.
