Bought this as a Christmas present for my 11 yr old son. After more than 3 months of almost daily use it still functions like the day he unwrapped it. Nothing negative to report about these pedals.
Pro pedals take some time to get after using Flight Sim Yoke in auto mode.The sensitivity can be reduced by changing the setting mode.Good purchase for tail dragger pilots.
Hi I have been flight siming for quite sometime and recently made the Jump to real world piloting both fixed wing and rotary aircraft. The Jury is not in on these yet. You`ll get a real thrill/chill and a sense of accomplishment. The only thing one does not quite experience is the actual mechanical tactile elements and forces of "G" associated with real world flying. We have Joy Lt Scott St. Otherwise When in X-Plane, FX or 2004 Microsoft programs you are real as you program it. The fellas I fly fixed wing with and my instructor for rotary aircraft all agree that my use of flight programs with this equipment has translated into a more fluid, focused training experience. Try landing on the pitching deck of a carrier in Lomac IL2 or Pacific fighters.
This is also true of older Ubisoft titles which fly well and much more acurately than with Logitech controller Sticks. Logitech has just come out with controllers like Ch-Products and Saitek. Especially when battle dam-aged I love CH-Products READ what you can do W/CMS Software. John
I also use Fusion/Windows and fly MS Simulator X with no issues. I've been very pleased with the CH Pro Pedals. I have a IMAC 24" and purchased XPlane and the pedals work perfectly. Great product. Well built, heavy so they don't slide on the floor.
Have only tried the unit with light aircraft so don't know how it funtions with the heavys or the choppers. No real complaints, it adds a lot of realism and allows forward and side slips as well as realistic spin recovery.
It is being used with Microsofts's Flight Simulator X and it was plug in the USB cable and start flying. This unit functioned as advertised and took no knowledge to install.
The pedals don't have quite the same feedback as the real thing but that was expected, its a computer not a Cessna. The pilot's legs get a bit fatigued because there seems to be a different angle from a real cockpit.
A different computer seat helps relieve the condition. The unit is heavy enough to pretty much stay positioned on the floor and is light enough to easily move out of the way when not flying.
Probably won't try them as I know that if it doesn't have a propeller, it can't fly.
