End of ECCI?

Hi Folks: I was disappointed to see ECCI stopped selling into the consumer market a couple of years ago. I've always cherished my CDS, pop the cover off and what you see looks like something out of a formula one car. But their site said they would continue to support their products. I need to replace some buttons on my CDS, but while their home page graphic shows up, clicking on the picture to get into the site results in: 404 Not Found The requested URL /ecci_01.htm was not found on this server. It's been like this for a couple of days. I'd also like to get spare pots and springs. So, is ECCI still supporting their products? Are there other sources for these components? Thanks Larry

They have a new website. Don't have the link handy, but it's out there. :-) Larry Lindstrom wrote:

But of course everyone knows real race cars have pedals like a Momo or TSW :-) "Luke Phillips" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:NRZpa.9599$[email hidden]...

I have been using similar pedals on my CDS4000 for quite a few years now and while they don't look like a real car, they perform like one. I had the original CDS2 pedals when I got this setup and thought the same thing as you, until I used them. For the cost you will never beat the quality.

The proper term is 1949 Tractor Pedals! ;-) I have a CDS5000 with proper roller pedals. I used a CDS4000 and didn't like them at all, they reminded me of the old CH flight pedals with the rudder locked out. I didn't like my whole foot having to rest on them. I need to park my brake foot off to the side when not in use. Plus needing to reposition my accel foot from time to time. Using the ankle instead of the articulated part of the foot bothered me. IMHO the roller type is the most comfortable and controllable. Even with the pad style, you foot has to slide across the pad area when depressed, where as the roller type rolls under you foot without any drag. But I'm sure you would get used to it after a while. But I much the prefer my CDS5000. Luke Phillips wrote:

The other two makes you mention are unrealistic too. If you cannot heel and toe with a pedal set, then that pedal set is unrealistic rubbish, imo. It's quite simple, just model pedals on the ones in real race cars, then no one can have any complaints. I find it totally silly that sim racing equipment is evolving away from the real thing in the way that it is. Gerry
