CH Products Rudder Pedals

I'm thinking of buying a yoke and pedals set soon and I mainly would like to get the CH products Flight Yoke and pedals, because they're cheaper than Saitek and within my budget. But, a friend told me that CH Product's Rudder Pedals don't feature toe brakes (Or any kind of braking). Is this true?

 

If this is true, Is it possible for me to use the CH Flight Yoke with Saitek Rudder Pedals together in FSX?

They do have brakes in xplane11 don't know about fsx, but I can say that the throw isn't enough for aerobatics and limited taxi.

They DO have toe brakes!!

I've been using them with my yoke for many years. No problems at all.

Maybe get the paid FSUIPC to calibrate them perfectly. It also gives a lot more assignments that FSX does, such as using one of the toggles on the yoke for gear up & down, instead of using the 'G' key. I do not use the CH Products driver/config thingie. It sux. FSUIPC far better (& to me, essential)

 

So, yes, there are toe brakes.(configurable for rate of braking thru FSUIPC as well).

Hi Folks,

 

Used CH since game port days - great stuff...

 

I used the Control Manager software up until Windows 10 - in Windows 10 it gave me issues - the devices would become unresponsive... I'm not sure CH actually devoted the time to fully test Win10... I removed it completely and have much better results without it via FSUIPC... FSUIPC improves upon things like throttle drift as well - with the default P3D setup I found it difficult to maintain a precise throttle setting - FSUIPC seems much better...

 

Regards,

Scott

So should I get the CH yoke+pedals or get the Saitek yoke+pedals? Or can the CH yoke possibly work with the Saitek pedals? (I doubt it)

By the way, as of right now, I mainly fly light singles in FSX such as the Cessna 152, 172, 182, Piper PA-28, Maule M7, etc.

Do not buy Saitek pedals. They'll get broken easily! CH-pedals are much more robust!

Hi...

 

I believe the devices are independent - so mixing and matching "shouldn't" be a problem... Personally - I have the CH rudder pedals but I could never find a way to position them at my desk while being comfortable... They are gathering dust... The CH Pro Throttle has a micro joystick that is positioned under your thumb that I use for a rudder while using flight sim... It works well and has become second nature for me - might not be satisfactory for everyone...

Wow, where did that come from?

 

I've used my Saitek pedals, yoke, throttle quadrant, and switch panel for several thousand flight hours over a multi-year span with at least four (4) different computers. Other than communication issues, which a registered FSUIPC cleared up, I've not had a single issue with any of these products.

 

And yes, just as I remembered it from RW flying, the Saitek pedals work perfectly for toe braking as well.

So do I need to get FSUIPC to run CH yoke+pedals properly on FSX? By the looks of it, I may just go with the Saitek yoke+throttle quadrant+pedals setup instead of CH products. I want a yoke+pedals where I can just hook it up, assign the button mapping, and start flying.

Any combination of controllers should work just fine out of the box; no FSUIPC required. I have CH pedals and regularly use either the CH yoke or Saitek joystick. Once setup the controllers are automatically recognized by FSX.

Ok thanks for the suggestions. I mainly want the CH Yoke because it comes with the built in throttle quadrant into the yoke, so I wont have to buy it separately like the Saitek. But the Saitek pedals look a little better than the CH pedals.

I own the CH Pedals and they do work in FSX. In fact the button assignments were set automatically.

The Saitek yoke comes complete with a separate throttle quadrant which plugs into the yoke.

 

That's nice but The CH Yoke+pedals is cheaper especially since your only buying two items, while with the Saitek yoke+throttles+pedals is generally more expensiver and your buying three items.

I've used my Saitek pedals, yoke, throttle quadrant, and switch panel for several thousand flight hours over a multi-year span with at least four (4) different computers.

 

Well, I have destroyed two (2) Saitek Combat rudder pedals in 5 years. My CH Pedals just keep working and working.

Me again. We have guys that use both at our VA, so we can try either set.

The popular opinion is that the CH yoke is slightly more robust than the Saitek. We pretty much open as far as pedals go. I'm using the CH Products pedals and I have put a block underneath to raise the far end by about an inch or 2. Much better.

Also does the CH Yoke have desk clamps to clam it to a desk edge?

Yes, it has clamps.

Oh ok thats what I thought.

Yes, it has clamps.

 

That's just gross!

The CH products work great for me. In fact, I'm on my second set. The first ones were the game port version, but I sold them and went with the USB type, since my computer upgrade. No complaints whatsoever.

I have the CH-yoke and Saitek Pedals for over 7 years now. Both still work perfectly, and I'm an intense simmer. I think these setups are really all a personal preference.

 

To be honest: the saitek 'feel' of the yoke is more like the real thing compared to CH is what I noticed at the setup of frienda. The pedals though, I'd go for the Saiteks with resistanse maxed out.

The Saitek yoke comes complete with the throttle quadrant in the box so you're still effectively only buying 2 items. The price of the yoke includes the throttle quadrant.

 

Wait so the throttle quadrant is included with the saitek yoke??? I always thought you had to buy it separately.

The yoke system has a quadrant included yes. The quadrants are also sold seperately.

Oh ok. That was the main reason why I didn't really want to buy a Saitek Yoke because I thought you had to get the throttle quadrant separately, but now that I know it's actually included, I'm more towards getting a Saitek set now.
