Saitek Rudder Pedals

[Nutzoid]

I just received the Saitek Combat Rudder Pedals minutes ago and had a couple of questions.

1. Must the software be used if all their going to be used for is AH?
2. Like the CH pedals I was using before, should the Saitek peds be plugged into a powered USB hub, or would plugging them straight into the comp work just as well?

1. No
2. I personally would use a hub but considering they don't use much power at all it's probably not necessary.  The real question is if you have a powered hub, why NOT use it?

I own a set and

1.  No
2.  Either should work.  I power mine from the confuser tower but it's got a considerably larger power supply than it needs.

How do you keep yours from sliding on the floor?
Mine are screwed down.

I'll probably use a powered hub as well, it's just a bit of a pain to get to as it's contained inside my desk. I'll have to move stuff around. 
Mine came with two 9" strips of velcro. In addition, I'll use the same set of PVC I used to keep my CH peds in place.

Same setup here, instead of screws a piece of non-slip mat keeps them in place. Available quite cheap in automotive stores.

those pedals look very nice how do they feel to use?

I've been happy with mine.  I like having the rudder off the joystick and the independent brakes.  I just wish they'd have used a stiffer spring in the rudder axis.
