I have looked myself, but can't find a rudder setup that comes with more than 2 pedals. Does anyone make something like this?

I used a Steel Battalion controller for MW4 and found that I really liked the dual stick and 3 pedal setup for total hands on control, and wanted to shoot for that.

Do the pedals have to be expensive analogue ones? If not there are lots of cheap 3 pedal switch type ones around.

I think you'd have to literally custom rig something if maybe a driving sim controller had 3 pedals, 1 for clutch, 1 for brakes, 1 for gas..... other than that I have no idea.

I don't understand what you mean by 3 pedal switch types.

I looked for driving sim pedals and found several with 3 pedals, I could probably rig a set of those up to do the job. Thanks for the tip Harlequin.

I wonder if you will need pedals at all.

Planned on something like this:

The three-pedal unit: left, right, middle switch: JJs.

But as far as I've understood: Your reticule is your torso twist/aim combined, so I can control the torso/arms with my mouse and A + D for left + right.

Hope the beta (if I should ever get a key :D) can clarify this question.

the logitech G27 racing wheel has a three pedal system but it comes with a wheel and gear stick instead of any joysticks

What is that Comguard?

I'm looking to see if I can use the G27 pedals as a stand alone part. Logitech usually doesn't have their stuff register as one device.

@ Zoex
It's a series of USB-footswitches made by Scythe.

Guess for controlling left + right and JJs you don't need analog pedals.

Advantage: they are way cheaper.

3 pedals, which are switch rather than analogue. Analogue are ones which detect how far you press them, rather than just on or off. The reason I mentioned it is that you were talking about rudder pedals which are often analogue for flight sims.
The ones I'm talking about look like this:

You can get these for about £20 from ebay if you don't want car type ones or anything expensive.

Ah I see Otto, and thank you too Comguard.

My setup was Left: Jump Jets Middle: Decelerate/Reverse Right: Accelerate so I may need analouge pedals to get the control I want. I guess the question is how will MW:O support pedals?

MW4 did not handle pedals exactly how I wanted. I would have to have both feet on the middle and right pedal to control my speed. I would like it if when I let off the gas it decelerated on it's own.
