Simped Rudders
« on: February 25, 2003, 06:14:04 AM »
I have been using CH Pro USB rudders for about a year now with my Hotas Cougar and they are OK. Only thing I would like to have pedals plug into my Cougar as I could fly Janes WWII Fighters and European Air War again!("Why" I hear you cry!)

Also Il2 Sturmovik recognises 2 controllers ok but doesn't allow any adjustment other than to the main stick.

I've read Simped are better than CH and that they are bringing out a dedicated Cougar set soon - (http://peter.madel.bei.t-online.de/index.htm)


Anyone got any opinions one way or another?

Thanks in advance

You won't find a UK supplier just order direct from his web site, when i bought mine they arrived in UK within a week of order date.

Cost to USA is right at the same as the Euro cost. The US $ is sucking against the Euro right now. One day it will change back a bit the other way as soon as the EU is realized as a false economy......:p

The Simped pedals have about the same feel as the CH except a wider stance like Thrustmasters.  I wish they had the feel of the Thrustmaster that would make them  a better pedal then they are now.

My Simped petals cost me about $130.00 US.

Yeah, they are actually cheaper than the CH pedals in the UK.(its the not-yet-released f16 pedals that are 270 Euros) I'm dissapointed they feel the same, I find there is too little resistance on the CH's.
