Title: X-52 pedals anyone?
Post by: turt21 on October 18, 2015, 06:28:08 PM

I currently use the X52 stick and throttle and was wondering what model pedals people are most happy with?  Win7, 8G nice video card...

I use the Saitek Pro Flight Cessna rudder pedals....work very well.  Bought them years ago from Fry's.  I think they were $129 -$139 then.  Check Fry's, Amazon and eBay for the best prices.

I use CH Pro pedals with my X-52.

They work well.

I suck at trying to hit anything with them, tho...   Except the ground.. I got that.

The Saitek peddles feel like rudder peddles. The CH feel like pushing blocks on a platform. That is supposed to be a good thing so it feels like the gas and break for a car if you want to use them in a racing game.

I use CH pedals. They are not fancy but they are sturdy, do the job and have lasted for years. Also considering how long I have been using this set they are very cost effective.

Had a few sets of CH pedals, they always end up failing on the pedal breaks - I think it is a design flaw where the wire internally wears through.

CH gear is the best.

When you get anything though take it apart and rebuild it, apparently people who put them together cannot be bothered do it right first time.

If anyone from CH wants to contact me please feel free.

Maybe they should be made in China?  :)

they are hungry enough to do a proper job.

Those eastern Europeans make the best pedals,
