Looking for decent Rudders, recommendations needed :)
-
Probably time to flog my Saitek Pro Flight rudders then!

LOL, I would because Iām a heels on the floor purist, but if they work for you they are a good option.

Like I said, I managed to get a Saitek Combat rudder system from a guy that upgraded to Slaws so I have an extra set of Saitek Pro Flight rudders.

Iām very likely going to end up building my own rudder pedals for my pitā¦and trying to duplicate an actual assembly, seeing as I have some drawings for doing such. As for the actual pedals, Iāll probably try and cast a set from these -

Not sure just how durable these 3D prints could be under oneās feetā¦but they are a start, if you want to try DIY.
-
For the price of those bits of plastic, Iād rather save up a bit more and get me a Slaw RX deviceā¦
-
Iād kinda like to have a set of Slaw pedals tooā¦but Iād rather build a an accurately modeled F-16 rudder assembly (that works) for my pit project even moreā¦MMV.

thatās the spirit!
the fact that there are no pedals out there that have the real feeling (exept the ones from realsimulator that arenāt produced anymore afaik) is another point for going diy.f-16 pedals work with āpressureā, not so much with movement (about 4cm for the whole axis).

ā¦Iām this close alreadyā¦not pulling any punches nowā¦!

is this one of kukkiās hudblocks?

Very nice work

FYI, there is a SimPed F-16 Rudder Pedal available paired with a RealSimulator RUSBA, price 200 euro. This is the first post here, will be also posted to VPits soon.

Yes, it is. Seriously nice piece of metal/machining work, and Iāll be having a working HUD in my pit as it comes together. Lots of room inside, even to mount a 7" LCDā¦I can go that way, or use a pico projector. Will depend on how things work - going to have to experiment.

After a long thought process I decided to order the MFG Crosswinds Thank you for your help guys.
Just one thing I need to decide on - the colour. mild grey or graphite black. What do you think?
My whole setup, including monitor and the rig itself is black, photo for reference below:https://abload.de/img/102_42548yuoh.jpg
Would graphite black be a nice touch or should I add contrast with mild grey?
I know it doesnāt matter much, as they will be under the desk for 99,99% of the time,
but somehow I want it to be as aesthetically as possible.Thank you in advance for any suggestion ^^
-
Totally personal preference. I got the black, but they reside under my desk and I seldom see them.
-
Congratulations on your impending purchase. You have made a wise choice.
-
Congrats on your purchase! Next thing on your list should be getting a platform for your HOTAS so you are flying in a more ergonomic position. Much more fun and comfortable that way.
