Saitek X52 and just bought their rudder pedals last nite. Didn't know they were available. Been sub simming and got away from flying.

Btw a little OT but I also got the Logitech G25 wheel set "ouch" will be hideing this in the closet for awhile just couldn't resist. If my wife see's it she'll have me commited. :p And I don't even have any raceing sims.

I have a MS Sidewinder FF 2 Joystick and for racing a MS Sidewinder FF Wheel.
Same software for both and never any problems

I used to go through joystick like... socks. The average joystick lasted 6 months of active use with me (maybe because most of them were crap); I gave up on a bunch of makers including Logitech.

I stopped on Saitek. Saitek is great! I have two working Saiteks right now; both are very durable, largely thanks to that great little steel spring they have (squeaky as heck, but in fact I sort of like that effect).

My Saitek Cyborg Evo



Eventually I hope to get a HOTAS cougar, but it's been out of my immediate financial reach for most of the time (plus higher on my list as far as sim peripherals is a TrackIR - maybe for my birthday...)

Not sure; I don't have rudders. It does have a twist function which works just fine for rudder though.

When Igot the x52 back just about when sh3 came out no rudder pedals were availble. Saitek inds. is about a mile away from me and back then their support said there were no plans for pedals because of twisty.
But there was an extra port on the throttle. Saw the Saitek rudders and bought them last nite $149.99. Haven't tried them yet , Will let you know how they work with a pm if you like and they can work for you. I know their kinda pricey considering x52 was only $130.00 when it first came out. Go figure.
