Ordered a HOTAS warthog setup, but looking for recommendations for pedals. Saitek or CH?

I been using my Logitech throttles and pedals for over 4 years now with the combo of a CH combat stick. Everything is pretty wore out.

CH is kind of cramped these days. I took a pair apart and recreated them with pedals out of a Mustang, but that was expensive even compared to the best commercial pair:

You won't be sorry.  I'm installing mine today.  I am putting them into an Obutto R3volution cockpit which required a set of width reducers also available from MFG.

In another year or so, I'll be thinking WARTHOG unless MFG starts making a HOTAS.   :grin:

Try the TARGET software.  Very powerful.  Easy to use.

MFG Crosswinds if you have the money if you want a set of good pedals.

Yes, I am actually pulling my card out to order them.

They look top notch.

i won't be online until late August anyways, works out for me.

My Logitech pedals had a good run, but they have a twitch now and calibrating in both the software and ingame doesn't get rid of it. The g940 was a good stick for 10months  :rolleyes:, the throttles and pedals thought were actually very nice.

Well got the stick and throttles Saturday and wow, they are very nice looking and seem to be very well built. Stick is stiffer than the CH and the throttles have a lot more functions than my old ones. My biggest complaint is that I have to squeeze the trigger quite a bit of distance to get it to shoot. I'm late on my shots. I liked how I didn't have to move my finger much on the CH. other than that it's a nice set-up.

Remember, it is a 2 stage trigger designed to mimic the A-10s PAC 1 and PAC 2 system.

I'm jealous, have fun with the Warthog.  :cheers:

I'm stuck with it's annoying, cheaper little brother, the X55.  :uhoh
