I need a stick with duel sliders for throttle and pro pitch and some peddles as well.

A squad mate swears by the warthog which looks ok.

anyone got any recommendations for other good sticks/throttle combinations and for peddles?

pros/cons of the warhog and other sticks & peddles are welcome most important is kit that works with CLOD!

not interested in modding so something that works great out of the box.

i use the stick of the warthog and the throttle of the cougar for the fighters[more axes]
the throttle of the warthog for the bombers
the warthog is excellent and very presice if you wan't my opinion:!:

Cheers, I've ordered the warthog, now I just need some really good pedals.

Any suggestions?

Or do you use the warthog for rudder control as well?

I was tempted for the cougar but all the talk of moding and replacing pots scared me off so I ordered the Warthog and.....

I just got home and to discover that instead of a new stick and throttle, Amazon had delivered me an entire A-10 Thunderbolt cockpit to my house! I can't believe how sexy the warthog looks and feels.

My new office is still work in progress and sadly I've got to wait to build a desk and get a good chair first before I can realistically use it. Don't think the wife will be very impressed to find it on the dining room table where my laptop is :D

Seitek pedals arrived also. I can't wait to get this stuff set up.

Hi Emil.

I have the CH pro pedals and they are just fine. But I have tried the Saitek pro flight pedals and they are GREAT. I would recommend the Saitek pro flight pedals, but I know there is also a combat pedal as well.

Good luck in your pedal hunt.

CH Products are worth their price!yet i can only speak of the fighterstick,as i dont have their throttle and pedals yet.
but the stick is great.really precise,great software to make maps,and it seems almost undestroyable.i have mine now 6months, and im really happy with it.and i think i wont buy a stick from another company anymore.works straight out of the box and people claim that ch products last for years.

Wow....this is going to take some time to configure :S

Also the dining room table is a no goer for pedals and a massive stick like the warthog when I only have a 17" laptop screen hiding behind it :D
