Purchasing for XPlane 10 PC Win7 64bit. I saw older new Saitek rudder pedals on this site for much less money. Which one should I buy for xPlane 10?

I've never used X Plane so I can't say. I will say though that I love my pedals, and to me they were worth the cost.

They will work with XPlane 10 (PC/Mac) the only real difference is the pedals in this model are fashioned and licensed by Cessna. If you're never going to fly a real Cessna (150/172/182) then there's no reason to go for these if the others are cheaper, the licensing is what brings up the price. They are essentially the same thing. I bought them to have the same 'feel' as when I went flying. but other than that there's no real reason not to go with the other Saitek brand pedals (if it's the ones I am thinking of).

Hmm not sure but when I looked up the saitek pro yoke it said in the features section"Use the integrated USB Hub to easily connect other parts of the Saitek Pro Flight range of products, such as additional Pro Flight Throttle Quadrant or Pro Flight Instrument Panel (both sold separately)"I would say it probably does do that - oh actually I noticed someone in the comments below seems to have that same setup you were asking about, anyway the quote I took from the PC game gear site suggests it can be done. Good Luck!

It should work with Flight Simulator X. Flight Simulator X is compatible with joysticks, yokes, game pads, and other controllers supported by Microsoft Windows and the DirectInput device standard. Many products feature different configurations, so refer to your controller's documentation for its button assignments. Before you fly, make sure your joystick or other controller is plugged into your computer, enabled in the Windows Control Panel, and calibrated properly. Also make sure you have the latest device drivers. If in doubt, download and install them from the manufacturer's Web site.

Use a DX6i or DX5e. they are both good controllers tht are compatible with this airplane

I recently purchased a serious computer for my flight simulator which makes use of the SAITEK add on equipment. I could not get Flight Sim X to work with windows 8 and have downgraded my machine to windows 7 and everything works perfectly. My suggestion is to stay away from windows 8 or 8.1 or whatever they launch next. Good Luck

Windows 7 has an XP emulator and runs Flight Simulator 2004 just fine. I ran the program for years on XP and recently upgraded to Windows 7 by saving all of my saved flights from XP and reloading. It was like I never left. Don't be concerned about XP or Windows 7, this program works flawlessly on both.

Yes, Win8 should auto download the driver, or just get it from the saitek site. They are basically the same pedals as the cheaper version with stronger and reshaped parts on it.

The rudder pedals are independent of the yolk and throttles. They should work fine.Greg

I have one with the RED trigger button and one with a gray trigger button. So I don't know which is the latest version. It is my understanding that Microsoft quit making joysticks several years ago. I also have 2 THRUSTMASTER T.1600M joysticks and they are better than my Microsoft FORCE FEEDBACK 2 joysticks in my opinion. Although I love the Microsoft joysticks. The THRUSTMASTER T.1600M joysticks do not require a separate power cord or installation CD. And they work really great. Best of luck.

After searching the web, I'd recommend going to 'flightsim.com' and to the forum,and you may find some answers there. Myself, I've experienced over sensitivityon X Plane and FSX on my HP Pavilion i5, using the CH Flightstick Pro. In contrast,my old PII 333 with parallel ports, Flightstick Pro, Pro Throttle and Ch Rudder pedalis still as good as it gets for realism, regardless of the older graphics. I have flownactual aircraft and know how a sim should fly. It'll be a sad day when my old systemchecks out! I'm no expert, but can't understand the present compatibility factor between theflight sims and the sticks. Hope this info was somewhat helpful.

I have these and LOVE them but according to Saitek's site, no. It appears they are PC only which doesn't surprise me since most of Saitek's stuff is geared toward the PC. You can assemble an entire Cessna cockpit with their products which is a lot of components. I don't know if you can hang a USB hub on a Play Station or if it's capable of handling multiple USB devices as these are designed to go with. My neighbor has a PS3 and I'll see if he'd be willing to plug my pedals in and see if anything happens. He's working today so it may be a day or two but I'll post back the results. Then we'll know for sure, but my bet is still on 'No'. I have these and LOVE them but according to Saitek's site, no.

no,you have to download the drivers from the "Saitek," web site. I can say I bought the "Saitek," system,all of it, my son is 13 and he is flying now.No joke,taxis',takeoff, landing. On his first flight. The teacher pilot was amazed. I recommend "Saitek," with all my heart. The only bad thing is his rudder pedals need to be replaced in less than a year. You can't do anything without them if you intend on being a pilot. Good luck

Yes, I have a X52 that the joystick went bad with and so I bought a CH Fighterstick and it works fine. The only issue is that without the X52 joystick, you obviously can't clutch and change modes with the X52 throttle. Incidentally I like the CH stick a lot better; it's more precise and a lot less jittery than the X52 stick.

Yes, though you will have to download the drivers from the Saitek website (Uses the same drivers for Vista, 7 and 8)

Shelly, I Have A Brand New Acer Computer With A 64 Bit System And All The Necessary Equipment To Run xplane 10, My Problem Is Not The Computer. It Is Setting Up The Game Operation. For Instance, I Can't Get The Null Zones Properly Set For Positive Control Of The Airplanes, In Addition, The Throttle Will Not Decrease To 600 Rpm During Landing Approach, It Decreased To 1000 rpm. Very Hard To Control Landings.my Last Flt Sim. Game Was 95, Lots Of Changes Plus This Game Is More REal. I Am Going To Contact X-Plane Support For Both Problems. It's Getting Better. Thank You

Yes it does and actually I have to disable it in X-Plane because it is just so much easier to use than my rudder pedals that I bought.

Will this control work on my new Windows 8 PC? I have several previous versions of Flight Simulator from 2000 to 1998 and both Combat Flight Simulators 1 and 2. Will they work as well?
