This is definitely a game where you need rudder pedals, so c'mon guys who has what and what are your opinions on your own and other models around?

Thanx Steel, I trust you've had no problems wear & tear or compatability issues with hardware (especially HOTAS?).
Who else, then?

the covers on the pivots have fallen off, but it affects nothing.

yep, okay. It's no big deal really that is it. have to go have a look-see on e-bay for UK and maybe find something for sale there instead of paying out money galore.

I've still got my original TM pedals. Gold-anodized aluminum with the wide separation, must be close to 15 yrs old now! Still the original pot and spring, too! I don't use them that hard, though. 
The main thing to remember is that other than T/O and landing, you don't use rudders in jets that much. In props, though, you use them a LOT more. Again you use them in T/O and landing more, but I've used the rudders in dogfights and ground attack as well, which I don't need to do in a jet sim.
Also, they're of great use when flying helos! Actually I'd say ESSENTIAL for helos. ;)

Yeah, they're definitely handy in a helo sim for sure. And, in my mind essential for d/f'ing in prop aircraft.
