I used the CH pro pedals for years in AH. You may want to scale them if you are have problems being precise with them. I've found pedals to be far more precise then a twisty stick ever could.

One thing I'll recommend with the CH peds is don't put your whole foot on the pedals, just put your toes over the lip on the heel part of the pedal. I found this gave me better precision control. I also take my feet off the pedals when I'm not using them. I found if I leave my feet resting on the pedals I have a tendency to add a little right rudder.

It takes some time to transition from a twisty to pedals. I think I took more than a month before I was comfortable using rudder pedals.

The sticker at the base says "pro pedals"  Maybe I found something old and crappy?  I'm really not sure what I have, and having logged probably over a thousand hours on the same and only stick, have I built habits that are hard to break?  or ...well I'm not sure really :uhoh

I see what you mean by the yoke being in the way.  It seriously gets in the way of my current setup (I am currently reaching around it to type ) :(

just re-wire your brain to use them.  I played with a twisty stick for 8 years and when I got pedals I was ramming everybody trying to line up shots. 

Took about 2-4 weeks of  :bhead :bhead :bhead  then it clicks.  If you suck you will continue to suck but it does give you the ability to be more precise and smoother in your flying without rudder dragging.

It will take about 2-4 weeks for anything new for you to actually remember to do it the new way. Alongside with that, it'll take some 3 months for your nervous system to build new neural routes, after which doing that routine will be as easy and natural as walking. BTW the new routes will help to slow down symptoms of memory diseases such as Alzheimer's.  :aok

My terminology may be somewhat down to earth, I'm not a physician by any means, but the main idea is valid.

No, Zacky dear, I'm no doctor. As for your rash, scratching will help only temporarily. There's no cure for old age.  :old:

I got these from a pawn shop for $20

It looks identical to the picture.
I do not know how old they are or really anything about them.

I tried setting it up in AH and the yoke seems to work fine but I can not figure out how to set up the pedals.  I am not certain the pedals are made for a flight sim.  They do not slide, they independently press like pedals in a car.  I can seem to only set up one pedal axis for yaw control.

Are these even going to be relevent for AH, or are they way to old to function properly? can I even tell?  And how on earth would I set them up if they do work.
:airplane: AT the rear of the 2 slider trays for the rudder pedals, there are 2 locking devices used by game car racers...you might have to put a effort with a small screw driver to get them out....as soon as you get them out, save in plastic bag, you can get 5.00 for them at yard sales.
