Title: Ch Pedals
Post by: DktrEvil on April 30, 2004, 05:04:59 PM: I have an opportunity to purchase these pedals and would like to know people's opinion on whether there is any benefit to using these instead of the twist feature on my joystick.

A. If you have CH Pedals would you buy them again?

B. What are the benefits of using Pedals?

I am not interested in Brand comparisons because I am locked in on the CH USB Pedals.

I appreciate your input.

Post by: Grits on April 30, 2004, 05:18:39 PM: A: Yes. I have the USB pedals from CH and am very happy with them.

B: I have never used a twisty stick, but I can tell you that pedals are worth it. The differential brakes with the CH pedals are very handy in planes that are tough to launch straight too.

another wonderful thing about this piece of equipment is you can repair them yourself if needed.

A+!!!

I swear by them, worth the $$$.

I am on my second set, the 1st ones lasted more than 3 years, and I will buy them again.

Post by: Bear76 on May 01, 2004, 04:43:52 PM: Snocone, that would explain why you're still using an X45 stick :). Shame to pollute a good CH pedal with an X45. I went through too many X45's.:D

A. Yes - have had mine for 5 years still going strong.

B. After a couple of weeks you forget they are there and both ACM and to me more importantly gunnery are far, far better.

Post by: detch01 on May 02, 2004, 12:11:47 AM: I bought CH pedals in the summer of '97. Since then I've gone through 6 sticks of various makes but the pedals keep working just fine.

Cheers,

Post by: memnon on May 02, 2004, 04:21:06 AM: I have the pedals and the throttle and have made a big difference for me now all i need is to get the ACM lol.

1. How do you get the brakes to work?

2. How do you get all the buttons on the throttle to work i have a logitech twisty stick and for some reason i can only get the one hat switch and three buttons to work on the throttle?

Post by: Arlo on May 02, 2004, 09:50:57 AM: Oh cod no! Logiblech!

1: Buy a cheap Saitek ... it'll work ten times better than the Logiblech (and it'll pretty much set up itself).

2: Burn the heretic Logiblech stick at the stake.

Map them using the AH Clipboard.

Again, you can use the Aces High Clipboard to map all of the buttons. Just make sure you hit Calibrate first, follow the prompts, and then click "apply" and "save" at the end.
