At 258 EUR (~ $350 USD
as of 07/02/2007), these might be out of the league for most people, but I have a feeling Gunner might own a pair soon!
Heck, I might too...?!
I like how they resemble real airplane rudders, and not just because the toe brakes - but the way you rest your heel on the floor and push the pedal with your foot forward and back. Most computer rudder pedals have a lip at the base of the pedals to keep your feet from sliding off the top of the pedal. That always felt weird to me, and until this day I still keep my heels firmly on the floor and push with my feet (on the lip). A pair of these would definitely increase fidelity!

Unfortunately the overseas provider were out of stock and the gentleman who designed them had passed away in May. The store is currently closed for restructuring.
I was able to pick my up from an individual from ViperPits.

As we say in my squadron LD "I GOT MINE!"
Can't wait to hook it up when I get back....oh, and by the way, I will be doing a complete inventory of my stuff prior to your departure!
