Been using CH Pro Pedals for at least 8 years now, along with a Jane's F-16 Combat Stick and Pro Throttle.  Don't think I can fly without my pedals as flying a P-38 without pedals kind of sucks.

Well - I just went out and bought a Microsoft Presicion Pro Racing Wheel about 3 weeks ago - comes with a gas and brake pedal that I would like to use for the rudders in AH - but I cant seem to figure out how to activate the pedals in the game and not the wheel.  :confused:

I also use the X45 stick but i do not use the "rocker thing" for Rudder. I found it very uncomfortable and kind of jumpy.  I remapped Rudder to the thumb rotery on the throttle.  Its offers the finest rudder controll Ive ever had.  If you've got an x35/45 and are not fond of the rudder rocker, try the rotery. I think you will like it.

CH Gear here.

I would think that if fewer folks use rudder pedals, it's due to a cost issue....twisty sticks are retarded for a flight sim, IMHO of course:)

I picked up some TM rudder pedals back in 1995-96 I still use them. They are beat to hell, and I've had to make a few mods to them (rewired, drilled a hole in the base to keep the wires from chaffing, cracked one of the plastic braces). They work well enough, but unlike the CH Pro pedals, they don't have the toe break feature.  Also, they take up a lot of room, but I like the wider stance compared to CH. I've never had a twisty stick though, so I don't know how to compare the two.

When I started out in PC flight sims there was no such thing as a 'twist stick' or any other type of hand operated rudder so I've always used rudder pedals, usualy TM ones. I did dabble with a Saitek X36 and a MS FF2 twist stick but never could get used to the feeling of less control compared to a set of pedals. I now have a set of TM Elites and USB CH Pro Pedals to use with my Cougar.

Ch stuff, once you get used to em Hblair, dout you'd ever be happy with the twisty thing again.

Big learning curve though, gotta be carefull you don't twist the stick into multiple pieces trying to get rudder action:)
