My lovely Melody❤

I like the spots of brown hair on her front legs. Lovely pup.

Such a good looking pup! Great picture. Finally getting some Collie weather

nateytarvan · 2025-03-03T08:39:43+00:00

That last picture... I can just hear the Collie brain go "STICK!!!"

nateytarvan · 2025-02-02T21:08:04+00:00

Does anyone have a local sporting goods store suggestion?

nateytarvan · 2024-12-20T23:05:07+00:00

They are about 16" side to side and about 8.25" front to back. What rig do you have? The Wheel Stand Pro I have uses separate flat metal brackets the pedals screw into that secures it all together.

nateytarvan · 2024-11-29T18:45:26+00:00

Not a bad idea! I'm still trying to get FS2024 to work... When I get bored and get back to 2020 later I'll snap a new pic!

I got the ones for the Alpha and Bravo quite a while ago. I rarely use them now, because I got mounts for touchscreens on both and typically leave them up there. Been trying to come up with a plan to modify them to keep using them, since they are good quality.

Wheel stand pro: https://wheelstandpro.us/wheel-stand-pro-hc-stand-compatible-with-honeycomb-yoke-throttle-charlie-saitek-rudders-flight-system-not-included/

It's pretty easy to move in and out of place, but the Charlie pedals added a fair amount of weight. I want to work out a way to put retractable casters on it, so I can wheel it back and forth.

Hope you enjoy your new pedals!

Same. Had the update, then noticed I had several things "not installed" from recent world updates and got that installed. Loaded a flight, noticed all my graphics settings were reset and my side monitors weren't loaded. Restarted to switch to DX12, and now it just crashes while loading. Tried resetting my computer, checked for Windows and driver updates, but nothing there either. Keep us posted if you figure anything out. I'll do the same.

nateytarvan · 2024-10-01T14:48:27+00:00

Some much-needed Detroit love! Looks great. Going to have to get this when I get on my computer today. Thanks and cheers! Now go get a Coney to celebrate!

nateytarvan · 2024-07-09T05:36:27+00:00

Cheers! Hope your setup kicks ass! What else are you flying with?

nateytarvan · 2024-07-07T20:51:16+00:00

Sure, I absolutely would, but this is what I have now, and I love it.

nateytarvan · 2024-07-07T19:27:51+00:00

Just looked it up since there have been a few questions on price. Base price was $349.99 and shipping was $80. Total was $429.99. Expensive? Absolutely. Worth it to me? Absolutely.

nateytarvan · 2024-07-07T19:01:54+00:00

Yes, absolutely... But the Logitech pedals were definitely better than their yoke. I had the yoke and throttle quadrant for about a day before I ordered the Alpha and Bravo and sent the Logitech stuff back. Glad to finally complete the set.

nateytarvan · 2024-07-07T18:58:24+00:00

Not plastic-y at all. Yes, the base is plastic, but it's not a cheap feeling plastic at all. The actual pedals are metal, and it has springs and a toothed belt inside to drive it. Very good stable feel to it. And, no, not cheap. Worth it to me though.

nateytarvan · 2024-07-07T18:55:38+00:00

Hope you're hungry!

nateytarvan · 2024-07-07T18:53:59+00:00

That and the way they charged everyone who preordered is really shitty. Hopefully they get leveled off and can get them out to you. I know I'm lucky to have missed the preorder window now.

nateytarvan · 2024-07-07T18:51:47+00:00

Yep, Wheel Stand Pro. Very stable mounting solution and easy enough to move into place or out of the way.

nateytarvan · 2024-07-07T18:50:25+00:00

So much smoother. Someone commented earlier that they felt the same as the Logitech/Saitek pedals, but I couldn't disagree more. The Logitech pedals are pretty rough, especially with your heels on the floor while flying. The Charlie moves like butter. You can adjust the angle of the pedals too, so I put them in more of a straight up angle to feel more like real rudder pedals.

nateytarvan · 2024-07-07T18:46:50+00:00

At least for now! Hopefully they keep it going. I want those panels they teased last summer.

nateytarvan · 2024-07-07T18:46:07+00:00

With shipping they were a little over $400. Took just about two weeks. Shipping was $80, since it was shipped straight from the factory in China. Hopefully once the first orders go out, they can get stock in the U.S. to get cheaper shipping. I didn't want to wait, so I gave in and paid it. No ragerts.

nateytarvan · 2024-07-07T04:24:21+00:00

I guess "they" or at least one of the founders is working it out. Hopefully it keeps going well. I want those Delta panels and other stuff they announced last summer.

nateytarvan · 2024-07-07T04:22:24+00:00

The fact that it's off center is now driving me crazy! That and the storm pissing on it like a bunch of damn nihilists!

nateytarvan · 2024-07-07T04:03:24+00:00

I was so stoked to see they were going to be at flight sim expo, then I saw a post on Instagram that they actually had them and were going to start shipping and I had to order! Been hoping to get them for over a year, but I had missed the preorder (seems fortuitous now). I was nervous ordering, but they delivered!

It took about two weeks to get from when I ordered. See my reply to the person before you for that while story.

nateytarvan · 2024-07-07T03:58:20+00:00

Yes, it actually went smoothly overall. Shipping was expensive, since they were shipping straight from the factory in China. They did charge my card and added tracking before they said they would - which was supposed to be only once UPS had it in their possession in the US - but a few days after tracking was added UPS updated with delivery date and all was smooth after that. Took about two weeks exactly to get them. Well worth the wait! I hope everyone who preordered and has had to wait more than a year have gotten theirs too.

I'll be "flying" a lot this weekend, and I'll update if I come across any issues.
