u/StarTrekMike · 14 pointsr/hoggit

This might get me tar and feathered but there is really no good reason to invest anything past perhaps $150 into rudder pedals until you are pretty satisfied in the rest of your setup and have had some time to make sure that this hobby is really something you will want to invest significantly into in the long term. Unlike HOTAS setups, rudder pedals don't have a huge raw functionality boost as you go up the price scale. They get more precise for sure and the more expensive ones will feel better or offer more specialized movement options but as a whole, a basic set of rudder pedals really is about as much as you will actually need. Anything beyond that comes down to personal preference.

One good rudder pedal option to look into is the CH Pro Pedals. They may not be fancy but they are reliable, practically bulletproof, and have a good reputation among long-term owners. I own a set myself and I have yet to have any issue with them even after a lot of heavy use. They won't be as fancy or perhaps as precise as the high-end stuff but after flying the Huey, Mi-8, the various WWII birds in DCS, and all the planes in Rise of flight (a very rudder heavy sim), I can't say that there is any real drawback or handicap induced by them.

If you get the CH pedals, you will have enough money to get a good HOTAS that you really want and will have rudder pedals that will easily last you until you feel the need to upgrade to something more expensive down the line. Spending $500+ on rudder pedals when you are not happy with your current HOTAS is not going to make things much better for you.

u/HoochCow · 11 pointsr/EliteDangerous

I had a similiar issue, my old stick was naturally a little loose and hyper sensitive, so just resting my hand on it caused it to input roll because it was loose enough that the idle weight of my tiny little hands was moving it. This resulted in having to make the deadzones WAY bigger than I wanted them to be.

If you're in the market for a new controller heres some options from least to most expensive as well as amazon links for buying them.

Xbox 360 Pad: $28

  • Pros: CHEAP, works, comfortable
  • Cons: Not enough buttons
  • I own one and have played Elite with it

    Steam Controller: $50

  • Pros: Cheapish, works, comfortable, plenty of buttons, overly customizable software options to ensure it just works with everything!
  • Cons: Touchpad in place of traditional D-Pad/Right Joystick can be janky in some games and some people just downright don't like this.
  • I own one and have played Elite with it.

    T-Flight HOTAS X: $50

  • Pros: Cheap, well made, works with PS4 if you're a PS4 commander
  • Cons: No mini analog stick.

    Xbox One Controller + Wireless PC Adapter: $63

  • Pros: Upgrade to the 360 version
  • Cons: Wireless, so batteries.

    Thrustmaster T.16000M FCS HOTAS: $108

  • Pros: Cheap for a HOTAS, well made, mini analog stick on throttle.
  • Cons: Mini Analog stick is in a weird place (subjective)
  • I do not own this, but I would buy it if I needed another HOTAS

    Xbox One Elite Controller: $140

  • Pros: upgrade over the standard xbone controller
  • Cons: paddles can't be mapped to unique button presses but instead just can be set to emulate other buttons on the controller

    X-52: $150

  • Pros: Looks like the joystick and throttle in Elite.
  • Cons: No ministick on throttle.

    Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS: $449

  • Pros: All Metal Construction, very solid piece of hardware
  • Cons: No Ministick on throttle, No Twist Yaw on the stick, HOLY SHIT BALLS EXPENSIVE, your husband/wife might be angry with you for buying this if they aren't into this kinda thing.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------

    Okay with the all in one box stuff out of the way there are some good mix and match options from CH Products which I'll list below. My current set up is CH Fighterstick, CH Pro Throttle, CH Pro Pedals, + HTC Vive for headtracking (or ED Tracker for headtracking when I don't want VR)

    CH Flightstick: $75

  • Pros: Solid Build Quality, Ambidextrous
  • Cons: Ugly, not a lot of buttons, no twist yaw

    CH Combatstick: $94

  • Pros: Solid Build Quality, thumb button.
  • Cons: Ugly, no twist yaw

    CH Fighterstick: $116

  • Pros: Solid Build Quality, 4-way Hat thumb switch
  • Cons: Ugly, No twist Yaw
  • I own this and this is my primary stick for Elite

    CH Flight Sim Yoke: $120

  • Pros: Can double as a driving wheel!
  • Cons: No triggers, not a lot of buttons, some players have reported yokes don't work well for twitchy flight gameplay like combat.

    CH Pro Pedals: $121

  • Pros: Solid Build Quality, Very Responsive, doubles as gas & brake pedals for driving games!
  • Cons: Pedals are a bit close together, some male players have reported this is uncomfortable, the springs that recenter the pedals are really strong and take getting used to.
  • I own this and it is my primary yaw pedals.

    CH Pro Throttle: $123

  • Pros: Solid Build Quality, very responsive throttle, mini analog stick,
  • Cons: Throttles Physical Range is a bit short, no center indent or tension control, Kinda ugly, mini stick might require high deadzones.
  • I own this and it is my primary throttle

    CH Eclipse Yoke: $201

  • Pros: Good for Flying & Driving, plenty of buttons, and flappy paddles for yaw or gear shifting
  • Cons: No triggers, might not be ideal for combat.
  • I want one.

    Also note that the joysticks and throttles from the Thrustmaster FCS and Warthog can be bought separately making them worth considering as options here.

    FINALLY I will leave you with a word of warning. The Saitek X-55 and X-56 might look tempting, but they have shoddy build quality and will break on you. I used to have an X-55, and I've seen the inside of the X-56 and they both have the same problems. They are a time bomb, do not buy them. Also someone will more than likely eventually comment saying they own one of these devices and have had zero issues out of them, lucky them I hope they never have an issue, but Saitek is known for terrible Quality Control and with the exception of the X-52 buying a Saitek product is not worth the gamble even though Logitech now owns them and is known for great build quality, there are too many items from when Mad Catz owned them floating around in the wild.
u/kalabaddon · 8 pointsr/hoggit

I got the CH Pro Pedals, they work fine for me, had them for 6-8 years iirc. There are definitely better pedals out there, but these are solid and have done me fine. I mostly fly huey and hip recently. biggest complaint I have for them is they slip on floors easily unless you do something to hold them in place, and that the spring or whatever it uses for the rudder mechanism is a little weak ( which can be fine for helis to if you dont want to use rudder trim options).

​

but again, never had a thought to replace them unless I had a LOT! of extra fun money just burning a hole in my pocket.

I use them in windows 10 and have had no issues with it.

u/zZChicagoZz · 6 pointsr/hoggit

My recommendation is the CH Products Pro Pedals.

https://www.amazon.com/CH-Products-Pedals-Simulator-300-111/dp/B0000512IE

I found mine on eBay for under $100.

They are sturdy, and have toe brakes.

u/TBBT-Joel · 5 pointsr/AskEngineers

Honestly for the amount of time and effort you are putting in why not just buy USB rudder pedals? http://www.amazon.com/CH-Products-Pedals-Simulator-300-111/dp/B0000512IE

u/Gear5th · 4 pointsr/Anki
  • Would you like to shift gears to answer? Reverse for again, Gear 1st for Hard...
    Logitech G Driving Force Shifter, 60$

  • How about leg pedals? For super lazy people!
    CH Products Pro Pedals USB Flight Simulator Pedals, 121$ (too costly)

  • Hey, how much do you mean by "good money"? Willing to buy a VR headset? Answer with your eyes? (There could be cheaper solutions for the same too. Lemme know if you want to explore this)

  • Or you could use voice recognition (you can set easy to recognize words and syllables. Or taps)

  • You could also use hand waving gestures.

  • If you wanna go super duper lazy, you could use a EEG headset like Emotiv and answer with just your thoughts! (yep, it's not sci-fi and is actually not expensive!)

    At the end of the day, there are tons of options.

    However, you should NOT be lazy while doing Anki reviews. When you do reviews, your brain picks up subtle clues from the environment. If you do Anki reviews on your bed daily, your bed will become the place where you can recollect this info the easiest. Recollection on other places will be more difficult. and you don't want your bed to be your most productive area :)
u/prometheus5500 · 3 pointsr/flightsim

Pretty simple. You saw the screen shot of when I was actually flying, and now this is a picture of my screens and controls. Nothing extravagant. Just a laptop hooked up to a larger display above it. I've been using this yoke and pedal combo for about a decade now (still kickin', minus the tow brakes). Both are CH products (Pro Pedals, CH yoke), and I love them. Pretty cheap for how long they have lasted and how nicely they perform.

Like I said, nothing fancy, but it gets the job done. I also have a joystick, because you simply cant fly a J-3 with a yoke!!!

u/[deleted] · 3 pointsr/gaming

Since your dad is a private pilot, I would recommend Microsoft Flight Sim X or X-Plane 9. The yoke is a must (I'm also recommending the CH Products one), and their rudder pedals are a nice touch for practicing cross-wind landings. If your dad flies multi-engine planes, I'd recommend the CH throttle quadrant, so he can practice his multi-engine techniques. FSX and X-Plane both have great instrument approach realism, so they're good tools for practicing shooting an ILS.

X-Plane is huge. Six DVDs worth of scenery. Supposedly it has a better physics engine (or maybe not?), but FSX feels fairly real to me, too (I'm a private pilot, also).

Don't expect FSX to look as good as it does on the promotional videos and youtube videos from people with insane computers and third-party plugins. It runs well on modest computers as long as you have the graphics settings set up properly.

Don't discount the rudder pedals as not needed. For a real pilot, rudder pedal practice/muscle memory is important.

Bottom line, the real gift is the hardware, not the software. If I had to pick, I'd go with X-Plane 9 ($30), CH Products Flight Sim Yoke ($100), and CH Products Pro Rudder Pedals, if you can ($100).

u/Mr_Spade · 3 pointsr/hotas

I use dual T.16000m's for my setup and have been heavily considering getting some pedals to complete it. I cannot afford anything crazy like MFG Crosswinds. I'd like to spend a max of $100 on pedals, if possible.

Would a Thrustmaster T3PA be a good option for the game and would it function well enough in a Space Sim environment?

Or should I wait and see if the CH Pro Pedals come down in price a little bit more?

u/Cincinnatus_sc · 3 pointsr/starcitizen

Dual joystick is generally cheaper. Go with 2 T-16000Mhttp://www.amazon.com/Hercules-2960706-Thrustmaster-T-16000M-Flight/dp/B001S0RTU0
$90. If you don't want to use the twists on the joysticks go with CH pedals. http://www.amazon.com/CH-Products-Pedals-Simulator-300-111/dp/B0000512IE/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1457893526&sr=1-1&keywords=CH+pedals $120 so you are at 210 which is close. If you are on a strict budget get the two joysticks. Avoid all Saitek junk. I have been through 4 saitek sticks, two pedals, and 1 throttle. My last RMA did not even return to me all the equipment that was broken that I sent in. They sent me the handle of the joystick but not the base (that had broken as well).

u/Richard_MF_Nixon · 3 pointsr/hoggit

>What do I need in a computer/hardware to run this game optimally

Broadly speaking- A 4th Gen Intel i5 or better for the CPU. GTX 1060 or better for your Graphics. 16GB of RAM, and a Solid State Drive for storing the game on. DCS has some long loading times, and the SSD will cut them down as much as possible. For VR, the Graphics Card will manage but I recommend a GTX 1070 or above.

One problem you'll have getting a gaming PC right now is that RAM and Graphics Cards are both in short supply and supply. As such their prices have gone up quite a bit. Graphics cards doubling in price in some cases. While I would typically recommend building your own PC due to price and quality reasons, a prebuilt PC may actually be cheaper now. Make sure you ask around, both with your friend and on here before you buy one. We'll set you straight.


> I also am considering going VR with Rift for full immersion, would that require addition components and is it worth it?

Personally I think VR is absolutely worth it. I've had my Oculus Rift for nearly a year now and have put a few hundred hours into DCS with it. You can usually demo VR units in places like Fry's Electronics or other such shops. Sometimes even Best Buy. Give it a try some time. VR will come with everything you need out of the box. Except the Computer, of course.

>Any helpful input is much appreciated.

As far as other stuff, you'll need a Flight Stick and Throttle (HOTAS). I typically recommend the Thrustmaster T.16000M as a starter all-round HOTAS. It's built well, has a lot of buttons, and is precise. You could get something lower-end, but I wouldn't recommend it. If you have something particular you want to fly, other HOTAS sets might be better suited, but the T.16000M will do anything well.

Pedals are helpful but not really something I would urge you get unless you're planning on flying Helicopters. Especially the Huey. You need a good Rudder input to tame it. If I had to recommend a set for the average user it'd probably be the CH Pro Pedals Get them used though. Trust me when I say this- CH kit are built like tanks. Get them second hand from a good Ebay seller and pocket the extra cash.

If you end up deciding to go without VR, then you will need a headtracker of some sort. They work by using a camera and some software to track the position of some Infrared LEDs attached to a hat or headset, then translate that into an input in game. This lets you look around your cockpit. That may not sound like much but it's a game changer. The official product is called TrackIR5. I don't recommend you get this. While it is the easiest to set up and is perfectly good quality, it is vastly overpriced. Trackhat or Delanclip make good products. Pair that with this camera and you're good to go.

I know that's a lot of info but DCS can be a little daunting to get into, especially if you're not already versed in PC gaming. Hopefully this helped and if you have any questions feel free to PM me :)

u/houndazs · 2 pointsr/EliteDangerous

I had that exact one, works great. I've since upgraded to this HOTAS with these pedals.

u/ViolentlyShiny · 2 pointsr/hotas

The CH Pedals also slide along with toe press, it's actually pretty neat. I didn't know about it until I further inspected the pedals. There's a mod out there to make them a little more comfortable that I might also pick up. It makes it seem a lot more comfortable to use for longer periods. You can find it here: Ezemod

Hope that helps!

u/LoreCannon · 2 pointsr/EliteDangerous

First thing I will tell you off the bat, get something that's in your budget.

Second... let's talk about what type of setup you want...


HANDS ON THROTTLE AND STICK
-
HOTAS
-

You have multiple options, starting with the Thrustmaster HOTAS-X.


At around $50, it gives a satisfying first hotas experience.

Moving up the ladder, you get to the T16000M and it's FCS pack.

If you are lucky, you can get this pack on sale for as low as $89.99 on Amazon, and it offers a great package with plenty of toggles and buttons to fully accommodate E:D's controls. You can even add pedals later on down the line, or pick them up as part of one big package.

Further up the price ladder is the X52 suite of controls. Two options are available, in the flavors of the X52 FCS at around $150 and the X52 PRO at around $200. The differences between the two are less pronounced than the jump from the HOTAS-X to the T16000, but it has some "nice" features for scripting and supposedly higher quality components.

Granted, even after Logitech purchased Saitek, the build quality on these former Saitek sticks is ... so-so.


Another great option is CH's products.

Throttle.

Stick.

CH PRO PEDALS

Despite other offerings in the HOTAS world between the X52 Pro, and CH offerings and higher caliber offerings - ignore them.

The X-55 and X-56 are MESSES when it comes to build quality, and it's a crapshoot if you get one that will last.

Your next HOTAS offering is going to be the Thrustmaster Warthog - but you will absolutely need pedals. Which means you're looking at offerings from CH, like the CH PRO PEDALS.

And if you get the warthog, I HIGHLY recommend you use Aussiedroid's scripts and bindings. They are intuitive and utilize the entirety of the throttle and stick.

If it's in your budget, I recommend getting MFG Crosswinds.

Also, VKB makes some T-rudder design pedals that work well.

VKB T-Rudders

However, before anyone tells you differently, or says pedals are shit for yaw. I AGREE, DON'T USE THEM TO YAW. Put yaw on your stick left and right, pitch up and down, and ROLL on your pedals. Right pedal forward, roll right, and left pedal forward roll left. Anyone who does it differently is crippling themselves, especially in PVP. This is a space sim, we don't have to fly space ships like we do aircraft. ROLL ON PEDALS, I'LL SAY IT AGAIN.

Past this point you have offerings from VirPil and VKB, both of which make the best of the best products. They both have better gimbal designs, and stick designs, and come in around $400 for a stick. However, there is no throttle currently, as of this moment, produced by either.


Alternative Setups
------------------
HANDS ON STICK AND STICK
-
HOSAS
-

One way of side stepping the pedals situation is running dual-sticks, or hands on stick and stick. This has a slightly higher initial cost than most of the cheaper HOTAS options, but also negates the needs for pedals. The caveat being you need sticks that can be used in both left and right hands.


But thankfully, Thrustmaster has you covered. They offer the T16000M in a dual-stick package. Or you can purchase them separately.


You can also buy two separate Warthog sticks, at around $200 each, and get Okona (/u/cavortingwebeasties) over at dualsticks.com to convert one over.

VirPil's Mongoose can be setup for ambi use, and VKB will be announcing a left handed Gunfighter grip at SOME point. VKB Gunfighter can be found here.




u/Redwolf7 · 2 pointsr/EliteDangerous

Everybody is providing info on the listing so if I may, mind if I question your choice?

If you have the money a dual stick and rudder pedals setup will give you much better freedom of movement IMO compared to one stick and a throttle and it makes controlling the ship with FA Off much easier if you ever decide to explore that option. Just make sure, if you consider my suggestion, that you get a set of pedals with toe brakes and set those for throttle/reverse.

It is very easy to coordinate if you're used to driving a car and having two sticks will give you analog control of pitch/roll as well as translational thrusters. It's very easy to match speed with a Sidewinder or Hauler in my Eagle while still keeping my nose (and guns) pointed up at his cargo hatch but after a while it almost becomes like a whole extra level of freedom in flight control.

My personal setup consists of 2x Thrustmaster T16000M flight sticks (which are incredibly precise and well built for the cost), CH Pro rudder pedals and Track IR and I think it's awesome. I also use Voice Attack for some functions like lights, hardpoints and cargo scoop as well as power distribution so I don't need to move my hands off the controls. Just some food for thought, links below.

Sticks: http://www.amazon.com/Hercules-2960706-Thrustmaster-T-16000M-Flight/dp/B001S0RTU0

Pedals: http://www.amazon.com/CH-Products-Pedals-Simulator-300-111/dp/B0000512IE/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1420480922&sr=1-1

TrackIR: http://www.amazon.com/TrackIr-Premium-Head-Tracking-Gaming-Pc/dp/B0029M6VKA/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1420480970&sr=1-1&keywords=TrackIR

It's possibly more investment than you're ready for but if you end up with the HOTAS and feel like you need more control just keep it in mind. While you can't use that particular stick without having the throttle I don't see why you couldn't set it aside and place another stick down if you wanted to go that route. Personally I ended up replacing my old stick with 2 new ones but I also have someone to hand my old stick down to. (I got my brother Elite for Christmas so we could play together) ;)

Whatever you decide, I wish you luck and fly safe Commander!

u/teaminus · 2 pointsr/starcitizen

I bookmarked these pedals for later. I haven't used them but they get mentioned here regularly.

u/Ankios · 2 pointsr/pcgamingtechsupport

Let me break it down.

  • The first problem is that Windows needs some drivers to tell it what the inputs mean. It can be done, but you will need to find some way to create drivers for the device.

  • The other problem part is that it is not a USB interface, so you would need to do some electrical work to turn it into USB interface.

    Overall, finding people do that work is going to be prohibitive. You are better off getting something like the $$$ Saitek Pedals or the $$ CH Pedals

u/WorkDrone3487 · 2 pointsr/techsupportgore

I have to admit that while I would hate to actually work in this kind of disorder, I do find it strangely appealing, it is a mess and it probably work good enough, but it is also fascinating, there is one guy who knows in general how everything is connected.

reminds me of my dads flight sim setup back in the days before USB.

He had a setup with a Suncom F-15e joystick, a throttle control from the same series (http://weirdscience.us/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/IMG_2989.jpg) and pedals: https://www.amazon.com/CH-Products-Pedals-Simulator-300-111/dp/B0000512IE

all of this was connected into eatchother, there were even a PS/2 and DIN keyboard passthrough, no idea of how it actually was connected, other than using gameport and a keyboard passthrough, there were cabels going all over the place, and somehow he got it to work as one game controller in Windows 95/98 and Flightsimulator 98.

It was damn cool....

These days you just connect them all to their own USB port, while I wouldn't go back, I still miss those times...

I wonder if the controllers are still at my parrents and if they are working...

u/shortspecialbus · 2 pointsr/dirtgame

As an option if you're looking for 2 pedals, you could get some CH Rudder Pedals, lock them in place for the rudder axis, and the toe brake axis would work fairly well. I did that myself for a brief time 15 years ago. Just no clutch. And it would require PC.

u/Chilcix · 1 pointr/hoggit

I could not. I just ended up getting these, much happier with them.

u/QuintonFlynn · 1 pointr/Overwatch

So... Why haven't you invested in foot pedals and mapped a and d to them to allow for easy strafing?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0000512IE/ref=pd_aw_lpo_63_bs_img_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=B2ZCVPMJPAE42TDDNQP6

u/GoDM1N · 1 pointr/starcitizen

I've owned both. (Owned the Saitek ones when they were still Saitek)

The Saitek ones were, imo, better than the Thrustmaster. Reason being they're too close together. I did do a mod on the Saitek pedals (removed the center detent.) The T-Flight Rudders were smoother out of the box but over time they stick really bad. Never had that problem with the Saitek.

Personally will be moving to the Virpil pedals when they release.

https://virpil.com/en/blog/158-introducing-the-final-part-of-the-vpcockpit-vpc-rudder-pedals?tmpl=component

My setup is

Virpil Delta

X=roll

Y = Pitch

Z = Yaw



Virpil MT-50 Throttle

Throttle = Strafe forward/backwards (Am using a center detent)

Wheel = speed limiter


T.Rudder pedals

Rudder = Strafe left/right

Right toe = Strafe up

Left toe = Strafe down


Theres also the CH pedals you might want to look at. Haven't used them personally but they're another option.

There are other options, both cheaper and more expensive, but I love my CH Products line - and the control suite/manager/drivers is second to none.

u/FleshyDagger · 1 pointr/flightsim

> It looks like a flight stick is a must, but I really have no idea what to get. Recommendations?

Get CH Yoke + CH Pedals + CH Throttle (and I recommend larger, real-size throttle clips) . If you like to fly multiengine as I do with Fokker 70/100, consider getting multiple throttle quadrants. If you get tired of sims, it's pretty easy to resell your hardware on sim forums, you may even try getting second hand hardware on eBay and forums such as Avsim. My yoke and pedals are second hand, and I got them for a third of their retail price.

Everyone else has so far suggested a stick, and I too had Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 for years, and looking back I have to admit that I was missing out the whole time.

u/Stompedyourhousewith · 1 pointr/OutreachHPG

I wanted to do this and this but $270 is a bit much for immersion and sucking.

u/Quo_Vadam · 1 pointr/EliteDangerous
u/Harakou · 1 pointr/Warthunder

Cheapest you can go without making something homemade is probably the CH pedals and a Saitek throttle quadrant.

You don't really need a separate throttle for War Thunder unless you want to use manual engine control or really want a HOTAS setup, though. I'd say it's way less important than a good stick/pedals and head tracking.

u/Sierra_One · 1 pointr/battlestations

It is pedals and not a footrest. CH Products Pro Pedals.

But it is used as a footrest 99% of the time.

u/Layin-Scunion · 1 pointr/hotas

These are the pedals I use. They've been great! And they have toe brakes which are hit or miss with high end pedals.

u/cmd_casse · 1 pointr/EliteDangerous

I use and recommend the CH Products Fighterstick, Pro Throttle, and Pro Pedals

The CH devices don't look sexy but are highly functional. There are plenty of hats and buttons to map everything you need without having to look at your controllers (great for VR). The pedals are a little close together and others could recommend better, but the throttle should be a standard due to the analogue thumb stick that is perfect for vertical and lateral thrusters.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

Edit: just saw you have a Vive so removed Rift recommendation.

https://www.amazon.com/CH-Products-Pedals-Simulator-300-111/dp/B0000512IE theese are supposed to be decent. I picked a pair up off CL but haven't tried them due to space constraints currently. They feel hefty though!

Here are my recommendations.

---------

VR

Keeping your current computer, Oculus Rift is a good option. Light weight, and fits DCS right.

There are a few upcoming VR headsets, but you may have to upgrade your hardware. You can expect an upgrade in another year or later. So, I recommend living with the Rift for an year or 2.

-----------

HOTAS

Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog is the beast I always recommend. You might need a rudder pedal.

Since you love the су-27, VPC Mongoose T-50 might be your choice. Again, you need a throttle from Warthog and a rudder pedal.

You also have Logitech G X56 and X52 Pro. You don't need a rudder pedal in this case, so you can save a lot. I've personally used them both and moved to the Warthog HOTAS.

Lastly, you have Thrustmaster T.16000M FCS HOTAS, good reviews, best entry level HOTAS.

Rudders pedals

MFG Crosswind, Slaw Device, Saitek, CH.

I've had these ones for about 5 years now and they work like a charm. Super sturdy, big enough that they don't feel like a toy.

Please for your own sake get a HOTAS. If you have vr and you are playing any flight sim without HOTAS please stop what you are doing and buy this now. You may even want to invest more money, but this is one of the better cheap HOTAS. Right now you are missing out on one of the single easiest ways to achieve a really amazing sense of presence in VR. For a lot of people the most compelling experiences in VR right now are Elite Dangerous, DCS, and or Warthunder. By getting a HOTAS you can see the true potential of these games and actually get a pretty cool experience of flying. You might even want to get the pedals. As far as being l33t in war-thunder most people play in 3rd person with the mouse and it's much easier, and can be a great way to learn some basics about flight and gaining position on people as well as grind some war-thunder currency. Despite the aim bot that is mouse aim in warthunder, at the lower level so much of the game is about positioning and using your aircraft's strengths that although being in VR is a handicap as long as you play smart, the enjoyment you will get out of it will be well worth it.

Sorry for a late reply, but what CH Pedals are you talking about These are the ones I found wasn't sure if it was the one you guys were referring to.

Awfully hostile, eh?

I chose the exact same prices that are posted for used items on Amazon, offered to haggle a bit, and I really need the money.

Used Yoke on Amazon

Used Panel on Amazon

Pedals on Amazon

140 euros is 155 dollars. Plus the cost of shipping to EU, which would be exorbitant from the US.

120 euros is 133 dollars. My panel is cheaper.

The gear is immaculate, and ready to ship NOW.

PS: I asked the mods to post this.

Edit:

I'm not some shameless huckster. I'm a long time poster to this sub, and I am devastated that I have to sell my gear. I'm in some pretty dire straits, and have to sell this stuff immediately. I was hoping to get them to a member of this sub, but it appears they're going to eBay thanks to your hostile post. :(
