October 10, 20196 yr What does everybody recommend these days? 99% airliner guy. So it's mostly for taxi and final approach. Ive been a twist stick guy forever. Have about 30 hours real life flying, so yes I get the concept and know how important they are. Is it possible to be in the $250 (US) range and get something ok? 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next

Lots of options at various price points. Probably best to start checking out reviews. The logitech ones tend to be in your price range.

October 10, 20196 yr Author sometimes when I look at amazon reviews my head spins. That's why I wanted to come to this community for feedback since we tend to be more "into" the hobby. 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next
October 10, 20196 yr The Logitech is probably the best solution. I use my 10 years now and they still work like on the first day.
October 10, 20196 yr Author on the logitech I'm just curious. When using something like this with a sim like P3D, is the braking just on/off. Or softer push=lighter brake and harder is full. I've been using keys or toggle type switches. 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next

You don't say what you are flying Xplane - Prd3 ??? etc I use Thrustmasters - because they are a complete kit with Stick and Throttle - and XPlane 11 recognizes them immediately - and even with my Saitek Yoke - they are treated as a set - and provides all assistance in getting them to your satisfaction even the toe brakes PRd3 however - seems to not want to recognise them - in fact insists that axis z is used as a throttle - and since I really want to use the Yoke I am disappointed with that sim - and have to use the joystick's twist grip. I cant comment on the Logitech being accepted in PD3rd - but I chose The thrustmasters as the better of the 2 due to the pedals actually being large and the same use of braking as in all my Piper GA aircraft. Other persons who fly the bigger planes - seem to have more money than I - and buy the pendulum type T/Masters - but no brakes on them
October 11, 20196 yr Author thanks for the replies. P3DV4. I have the registered FSUIPC, but not too advanced of a user of that 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next

Or softer push=lighter brake and harder is full. I've been using keys or toggle type switches. The latter. The harder you push the harder you brake.
October 11, 20196 yr CH Products, both yoke and pedals for many, many years; FS, FSX, P3D. Not familiar with other products. I'm not even sure CH Products are still in business. Good luck, think you will truly enjoy pedal capability. High end with 5090, VR, 2020 & 2024.
October 16, 20196 yr Can’t beat MFG Crosswind pedals. Hand made, out of this world quality. I used to use the Saitek ones and switching to the Crosswinds was like when I switched from my Saitek yoke to the Yoko +
October 16, 20196 yr Author thanks.

I used to use the Saitek ones and switching to the Crosswinds was like when I switched from my Saitek yoke to the Yoko + I've read mostly positive things on the MFG pedals. However I've read some people have problems applying equal left and right braking. When just wanting to stop straight.

October 17, 20196 yr The pedals are infinitely adjustable. You can physically adjust them and also calibrate them. ive never has an issue with the toe braking (and the DCS BF-109 is very sensitive to this)
