Thrustmaster Elite
Thrustmaster RCS

CH Pro Pedals

The Thrustmaster Rudders hook up directly to the Cougar. CH I'm not sure about (USB?). The TM rudders are no longer in production, so you'd have to search online (eBay, Amazon etc).

I got the USB CH Pro rudder pedals and they seem to do the trick. They arent the highest quality but they will last a while and work for me.

Hey Striker,
Sorry to bring up an old post, but I'm trying to configure my CH Pro pedals with LOMAC.

What settings do you have yours set to?
I seem to have huge differences in rudder movement, using small feet movements, with the default settings.

Thanks,
Ells.

For the Rudder axis I have the following and they seem to work well in the solo profile.

shift is in the center
deadzone is full left
curve is little over 1 indice left of center

My settings are the same as Strikers except...

You might try:
Deadzone 1 or even 2 on the slider and not all the way left at 0.

With no deadzone i find it to sensitive. The solo's seem to want everything :lol:
