There seems to be a whole shelf full of budget (30UKP) driving pedals on the shelf in PC World. Anybody recommend a similary priced set of rudder pedals running off a USB connection and thus avoiding the heavyweight pricing of CH Products?

The pedals from my PS2 Logitech FF wheel (that came with GT3) work on the PC...

I would assume pretty much any USB pedals would work.

Yup, the wheel and pedals count as just another game controller as far as XP is concerned - if I really wanted I could use the buttons on the wheel to trigger stuff; they count as valid DirectInput controls.

The pedals aren't all that comfortable as rudder; the return springs are a little too strong. However, they can be picked up on eBay for not very much...

Cheers for this info. Murray. I did see an American company (I think) offering USB CH Products pedals for £59 but then I guess there's the hassle of postage and packing ...

When I make a decision I will of course feed back to this forum so folks can follow my decision or learn by my mistake.

Anybody know if I can install two game ports on one comuter - one from the onboard sound card and the second from a PCI sound card? My joystick is still a gameport one, and I would try to make some rudder peddals using an older joystick.

Best regards,
