Well, finally bought myself a set of Saitek rudder pedals, ahead of this weekend's "get your old gaming rig up and running 100% so you can fly the first (maybe couple) event leg(s)". I've already plugged them into a machine here at work and checked they are registering.

I'm shocked that you never had any pedals, when you have that amazing throttle!

Good to see you're getting your system up and running at long last.

Oh, I had pedals (you can see them in my TQ video), but two of the pots in them died last year (end of) and since GoFlight no longer produce them, I figured I'd just get a set of Saiteks when I could afford it; just took a little longer than I thought ;)

Good choice; I for one am very happy with my Saitek pedals (and yoke/quadrant too, for that matter)  :)

I got a new Saitek yoke and throttles just after Xmas as my CH yoke was losing working buttons but I find the Saitek yoke doesn't seem to have as many buttons as I'm used to on the CH which served me well for about 7 years I guess. My CH pedals are still going strong though :)
