Get the Most out of Your Flight Simulator The experience of flying simply cannot be captured with a joystick alone. With three axes of control that will enhance simulated flights, Pro Pedals mimic the movement of the pedals found in many aircraft. Pressure-sensitive heel-toe motion gives you terrific feedback for differential toe braking, while a forward and backward sliding motion lets you control the rudder. Also, the rudder axes can be locked to convert the Pro Pedals into an automotive setup for driving and racing games. Installs in Minutes Adding the Pro Pedals to your system is a snap--simply connect the pedals to an available USB jack and you're ready to go. There are no drivers to download, and the Pro Pedals work with both Mac and PC operating systems. A seven-foot USB cord makes it easy to position the pedals where they're the most comfortable and accessible. By using Pro Pedals with your favorite CH Products joystick (sold separately), simulated flights will be more authentic and enjoyable than ever before. Solid Construction For Years Of Enjoyment The Pro Pedals are constructed of quality industrial components, with a large sturdy base that keeps them firmly planted during flight simulations. The CH Products Pro Pedals USB Flight Simulator Pedals are backed by a two-year limited warranty. What's in the Box CH Products Pro Pedals USB Flight Simulator Pedals and seven-foot USB cable.

Pushing (forwards and backwards) on pedals moves the rudder. It all works perfectly giving a variable analogue brake, the harder you push the more brake you apply. Taxiing the plane using rudder and brakes together works smooth and is easy to control. I velcroed the pedals to a large plywood sheet and attached the sheet to the desk legs with small angle brackets and machine screws. A large sheet so I could later move the pedals around to different positions on the board. I use this setup: Fighterstick USB, ThrottlePro USB, Pro Rudder Pedals USB, all CH branded. All 3 of these combine with CH's software to make one huge virtual device. So if you then go to Windows control panel's game control applet you see 1 device not 3. That one device has six axis and 32 buttons! Never calibrate it there (doing that will screw it all up). Instead ONLY calibrate it in the CH software. I assigned those six axes to: 1 HorizStickX 2 VertStickY 3 Wheel on the stick (Fuel mixture lean/rich), 4 Throttle, 5 Right brake, 6 Left brake. FS2002 would let me assign them to other controls if I had prefered). So far no problems with these fine CH products. 47 of 48 people found the following review helpful. 5Very realistic for $100: lets me practice the real thing! By Michael R. Stiteler PERFORMANCE: Flight Simulator recognized that I had both pedals and the yoke installed when it started up. I selected a Cessna 172 at JZI (pilot talk for Charleston Executive Airport on John's Island, SC) and gave the system a try. My immediate thought was "Man! These pedal springs are light!" I took off my shoes to give me a better feel to start off with. My other thought was that the toe brakes are also very light, and they have more travel than I am used to on a real plane, a compromise of being able to use these pedals for driving as well. Teething Pains. I managed a reasonable roll down the runway, using the pedals effectively (I thought) for rudder control. But once I was in the air, the rudders were no longer effective. Back on the ground the differential brakes didn't seem to be working correctly. Even with my feet off the pedals, the differential brakes were constantly coming on. THEN...I tried several times to set the sensitivities within Flight Simulator, hoping I could set a null zone to keep the pedals from being applied when I wasn't pressing the toe brakes, but each time I tried this the system seemed to reset the settings to the defaults. It turns out that I had forgotten to disable the auto-rudder feature of Flight Simulator. The rudders are effective on the ground even with auto-rudder turned on, but differential braking is affected when you turn the yoke. Auto-rudder activated the differential brakes every time I turned the yoke side to side, which made me think the pedals were not properly set.
