Im thinking about getting pedals...i have some questions?

[jokash]

How are you satisfied with yours,do they slide around the floor or maybe do you push yourself back if your chair has wheels?

People use multiple solutions for both of these problems (without spending thousands on dedicated sim rig 😉). 

My MFGs, for example, are bolted to a kitchen/chopping board, which both stabilizes them and locks them against back wall of my office desk.

As for the chair on wheels, I've got a hefty rectangular foam plate (of the type used for electronics packaging), which I put between my chair and sofa. Thus, the chair can't roll backwards.

You have to be creative a little.

I used to do the same as Art-J with the MFGs screwed to a wood board.  Now I have a piece of plywood as the base for my entire system so I have multiple places I can screw things down on.  I replace the casters on my task chair with hard rubber half rounds that slip right into the same hole that the caster came out.  You can still push the chair back if you need to, but it doesn't slide when I'm pushing on the pedals (usually pushing on the toe brakes which take harder pushing).

I do not yet use pedals for flying but for know this problem from racing.

It is easily solved, though. A piece of wood placed between pedals and wall, so they can not get pushed away.

Wheels of the chair can be blocked by putting shoes on them. Personally I simply use a chair without wheels.

For a while I had a simple wooden frame on the floor that I would put the chair into. That also made sure that the distance between desk/pedals/chair was always the same, which I found helpful.

I have Logitech Saitek Pro Pedals. They don't slide on the floor unless they or floor become dusty. In that case a just clean both pedals and floor. I have floor under the table but carpet under the chair, so my chair is on the edge of the carpet and I can stuck it here so I don't push myself away when pressing pedals. Pedals themselves are soft enough, so I don't need push them too much.

i guess putting a piece of wood in chair wheels would stop them from going backwards,same goes for the pedals.A piece of wood between them and the wall.

Good questions jokash. Get the pedals first and then work it out. 🙂 Personally I don't use a wheeled chair and my pedals are set against the wall (utilising a rubber shower mat to prevent scuffing and minimise sliding). The ashtray is to the left whilst the whiskey tumbler resides to the right with the stick right in the middle.

The MFGs have adjustable extensions that stick out and hold them off the wall, but way back I used to put a block of wood in between them and the wall to set them further back.  Now I screw things to tlhe plywood deck I have underneath.

I decided to go with VKB mk5 pedals.Now the next target is throttle (which probably is also gonna be VKB WWII version).

I changed out the casters on the task chair with these feet I got from Amazon.  You can still push back or scoot forward with a little effort, but they keep you from moving when working the toe brakes.

MFG bolted to a steal plate - add-on for Wheel Stand Pro setuo, super solid, chair w wheels on carpet, no problem

I fixed my Crosswinds to a rubber mat with tie wraps LoL, and let the dog nibble off the chair wheels.
