Digital camera reviews of CH Products Pro Pedals USB Flight Simulator Pedals ( 300-111 )
Digital camera Review: GREAT
Summary: 5 Stars
Really great pedals!!! Make sure you get CH;s yoke. A MUST! The only thing is that the rudder pedals are really sensitive and do not require much moving in FS2004 in the air. Overall: Best of the Best!Digital camera Review: Good Buy
Summary: 5 Stars
Very happy with it for the price. Makes the flying experience much more real and useful.
Digital camera Review: Good but not amazing...
Summary: 4 Stars
Easy to set up and use. They do have a cheap-spring feel and i don't think they're worth the price (I paid around $100 USD) but combined with the CH Products yoke they complete the flying experience really well.
Note: The pedals are rather light and don't grip onto carpets (work best on a hardwood floor)...
Overall a good product.
Digital camera Review: Good choice for home use
Summary: 4 Stars
Used with MS FSX these work pretty well. Getting them configured and calibrated is simple and quick. Even has "toe brakes" to give you braking ability. Only down side is the weight. Unit will shift around over time.Digital camera Review: Good pedals for the price - but with a few important design flaws
Summary: 3 Stars
Overall a good set of pedals. Generally good responsiveness and was picked up by my games (FS9/Battlefield2) with no major issues. The cost is good since I think its the cheapest set of rudders out there. Construction pretty solid overall.
However, a couple of major annoyances for me.
First, the pedals are so light, its easy to push them around under your desk and get them misoriented which is a major pain when in the middle of a heated battle or sim situation.
Also, the heel cups are totally unrealistic as all real planes do not have them (your heel should just sit on the ground). I find that this means my legs are not totally relaxed like they are when I'm in a real Cessna, they're always a bit tensed up because you're having to keep them in the shoe cups.
And finally, and this is my biggest pet peeve: The spring back to center is very weak. This is a real pain because you're left having to "feel" for a center ridge click to know your rudders are centered again. If I'm not paying attention, the weight of my legs will cause one side or the other to push out slightly and affect my flying - hence why me legs are always tensed up.
At the end of the day they're still good overall. The sliding around issue could probably be fixed by mounting the system to something heavy or perhaps using Velcro to fix it to the carpet. Also I suppose one could hacksaw off the heel cups.. But I don't think there's a fix for the lack of spring to center forces... Honestly, if I could afford them, I'd rather own the Cirrus Rudder Pedals, but their also 5x the cost so... I eagerly anticipate the day where we can have pedals at a reasonable cost, and with solid (and realistic) performance
