Rudder pedals
Steve Roberts
the weather's too bad to actually go out and do it for real (being in the
UK, this is quite often). There are some decent FS glider models out there,
so I won't be tied to just the one in FS itself, and even thermal add-ins.
The problem is, flying gliders demands good rudder / stick coordination, and
the sim won't be in any way realistic without rudder pedals (and I need the
practice!). The only ones I see out there are throttle/brake combos,
apparently solidly linked to steering wheels for driving games... which is
not what I need. Either free-standing pedals, or a pedals / stick combo
would do. Does anyone know of a possible source?
Thanks for any ideas -
Steve

ch-products pedals , thrustmaster elite (might want to have a loog at
ebay), or hoffmann simped (german high end)
(I personally fly with a Saitek X36 analog Combo and Thrustmaster Elite
pedals, doing also some bad-weather gliding on FS2k2 :-))
cheers,

Check Flightsimcentral for elite pedals..54 bucks + shipping. Just
bought another pair from them today.

buy a plug to fit the game port so I think the total cost was about £1.50
plus 2 hours work.

Is that by any chance Buzz Hoffman, the guy who used to provide support for
Thrustmaster on the CIS Gamers forum? I haven't heard that name in years!

terminal, single turn with zero in centre ? Which terminals on the game
port do you wire it up to ?

I enjoy flying gliders also. Do you know if there are any add-ons to Flight
Simulator 2002 that would allow me to generate my own thermals in any
scenery area that I choose? I downloaded a nice Schweizer 1-26, the same
sailplane that I learned to fly in originally. I would love to re-create
some of the memorable flights that I had in the 1-26, if I could just
generate thermals in the scenery areas that I choose. I also downloaded a
REALLY nice ASW-20 that is a dram to fly. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks...

The graphics may not be up to FS2002 but it's a dedicated soaring simulator.

Unfortunately Buzz passed away in 1999. His son Matt wrote to the
newsgroup to give us the news. He will be missed

Thanks for the news, it's the first I'd heard of it. He will indeed be
missed.

I'd go with the CH Pro Pedals.
Their durability is nothing short of amazing. I've had a set for
years. If I had the box still, I could literally sell them as new.
I've had lots of computer equipment that experienced no mechanical
forces which didn't hold up 1/10 as well.

For FS2002 the Simped rudders are the very best I've used, and they have versions coming out in the
not too distant future with toebrakes. With FS2002 supporting multiple controllers you should be
able to pair up separate rudders with the yoke/stick of your choice.
