Title: stick and rudder
Post by: USCH on October 05, 2014, 10:31:31 AM
so ive been using an old twisty for a long time, and its time to upgrade to a nice set of rudder peddles and a new stick to go with it, what are some of the best places to order from online (to get a good price) and what stick and peddles are good for the money, because i don't pay attention to any of that stuff during my daily life.

 The question is "how much do you want to spend"?

 A warthog and peddles will cost over 600 bucks maybe even over 700 depending on peddles!

 X55 rino is half the price of the warthog and you could get a setup for slightly over 300 bucks.

   Of course,you can spend less but those 2 and of course a complete CH setup would be my recomendations,CH setup will cost about 500 bucks.


   YMMV.

You can get a full CH setup for around $300, the problem is that a lot of people that have been getting the new stuff have a lot of complaints about quality. In the old days CH was the best there was, now adays not so much.

My saitek combat pedals felt cheap but have been dependable.  My only gripe is that the centering spring does not offer enough tension to wear shoes and still feel when it's centered.

Also the brake function has a tendancy to start off @ 100% so when launching a plane always push both to maximum for a moment.

I've owned Saitek and CH peds. Have had zero issues with the CH gear for many years. The Saitek peds would lock up in a full forward position, usually the right ped.

Provantage.com used to have the lowest prices on CH gear...not sure about today's market.

I've been using CH Fighterstick, throttle and peds and have had zero issues other than a recent replacement of the stick pots.
