Are you really really really into flight sims?

Wow, those are insane. A Warthog HOTAS and these pedals would be right up my alley if I didn't think my wife would cement my feet in a bucket and drop me in a river lol. My CH stick/throttle and Saitek pedals serve me well :D

I used to have a Logitech G940. Unfortunately, setting it up with my overall computer set up proved a problem where I used to live with roommates. When I had it up and running correctly, joystick + throttle + pedals, it was amazing to use with Lock On Flaming Cliffs 2. Actual rudder pedals really bring home the realism like a throttle does.

Those pedals are absolutely amazing in terms of craftsmanship, both the BF 109s and the wood composite MFG Crosswinds. They really are a work of art since they have to be assembled by hand. If I had oodles of money, I'd consider buying one.

Old news. If you follow or play IL2 Sturmovik, Battle of Stalingrad these have been discussed in the forum for quite some time.

I like flight sims and have played them for quite a while. These pedals certainly appear to be well made. Unfortunately, they are way out of my price range. A high end control setup of these pedals and a Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog would be $1000USD. The flight sims definitely have a percentage of users who would drop that kind of money in a heartbeat to have the best stuff, but I'm not in that group.

I've always wished for a good dual joystick setup.

I was big into flight sims for a number of years. Though I never had a setup quite that advanced.

For FSX, I use a controller that came from one of those RC flying simulators. Rudder and throttle on the left stick, elevator and aileron on the right. There's three switches I can map to other functions like gear, flaps, or prop pitch.
