Summary: works good
Comment: It works fine with Flight Sim X. Why not 5 stars - the design looks like "home sleepers"
Customer Rating:
Summary: of course it's not the real thing...
Comment: ...but short of someone developing "the real thing" for microsoft fsx, you can't beat these pedals.
after calibrating and adjusting axis sensitivities within fsx, you'll be ground steering with accuracy and authority. holding center line on takeoff and especially landings will make for a pleasing, accomplished flight sim experience. ever try tracking the taxiway centerline with the keyboard? you'll love holding true to the centerline with these pedals, keeping a hand free for panning outside the cockpit while your feet brake and steer. differential braking? got it! it's great to pivot about a braked left or right main wheel, just like the real aircraft do.
if you fly with auto-coordination, wean yourself off with these pedals. you'll find turning from base and lined up on final much easier if you control the rudder and yoke separately. these pedals are a great way to introduce young, inexperienced sim pilots to some semblance of the "real thing". with practice, the use of these pedals will challenge you to give up "auto-coordination" and challenge you to want to try uncoordinated flight by performing cross-wind landings the way real world pilots do...and, of course, learn how to use rudder and yoke to make coordinated turns.
while not mitigating my 5-rating, i've experienced only one detractor, however minor. while the rudders are in neutral position, there's a noticeable detent between neutral and left and right rudder application. if you set the rudder axis up with a zero deadzone, once passing this "detent", there is a tendency to apply too much rudder while you overcome the detent. i'd suggest slightly increasing the dead zone. this would allow you to clear the detent while applying left/right rudder, and then smoothly and with greater precision apply left/right rudder. when performing s-turns, for example, this would prevent the sudden left or right rudder application once clearing the detent. experiment by working from a zero deadzone and slightly increasing it until you can smoothly transition from left to right rudder application without the detent causing you to apply too much rudder once clearing it.
alas, i fly single-engine pistons about 98% of the time. "yank and bank" pilots, adrenaline junkies, speed demons, aerobats, and fighter drivers may not find this review useful once they leave the ground ;-)
it's not perfect, but it's pretty damn close for pc flying!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent product...
Comment: I got my pedals few weeks ago and have been using them almost on a dayly basis. The design is sturdy and although I have not "forced the issue", I feel confident that the pedals would hadle any kind of abuse. Installation was easy and a perfect fit with the rest of my CH flight controls.
The only problem that I have with the design is that the pedals are too close together. Sure they are perfect for a GA cockpit simulation, but when I tried to build my own cockpit with the joystick between my legs it was a problem.
Regardless, I am happy I got them and now I cannot 'fly' without them... :)
Customer Rating:
Summary: Right Rudder
Comment: Nice heavy base, hold place on carpet. Realistic play. Haven't been able to reduce sensitivity to where it needs to be. So, over-control is commonplace, as attested to a pilot friend who also tested it. Overall, I think I'm going to be fully happy with the set.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Simple, Hassle free Installation!
Comment: What I liked about these pedals from the beginning was that they're sufficiently heavy so do not need to be drilled in to floor bases, not showy delicate or fancy either. They're intended and built for what they're supposed to do. and are quite sensitive as well. Its fun flying aircraft with a realistic feel and not like its just another usb gadget. Am quite satisfied with mine. I use them with the Saitek Yoke.

Editorial Reviews:

Pro Pedals feature a realistic forward and back pedal motion for flying, as well as a pivot movement for driving games. They're a great companion to CH Product's line of joysticks and flight yokes. For flying, Pro Pedals work as rudders and toe brakes, while for driving they give you extra support and power to accelerate or brake. They're made to withstand the toughest competitor. Designed with rugged, durable components, Pro Pedals will last longer and endure more wear-and-tear than ordinary pedals on the market. Hook Pro Pedals up with your favorite CH Products joystick and take off!
