Title: SIMPED-F16/C Rudders pedals
Post by: wabbit on January 16, 2008, 12:03:31 PM: I'm very close to ordering these pedals for my Cougar. Anyone out there currently using them?

Can you give me some details on how well they work and if you also own a cougar, how well they work with the cougar. I've also heard they are programmable with the cougar through it's programming program 'Foxy'. Is that true?

Thanks!

There is a small increase in price, but if your Cougar is nonfunctional for any reason, the pedals still work...

From what I've read, I figure having the toe brakes and being able to program my joystick/throttle and rudders with foxy is the way to go. I didn't really see any advantage to having a USB rudder. If my joystick goes down, I wouldn't be able to fly with only rudders anyway, at least not enjoyably.

Guess I'll find out just how good Dieter has gotten at answering his emails... :)
