The "CH Products, Inc. Flight Sim Yoke" worked out of the box for me
with FlightGear on Linux.

For the Saitek pedals i'm using, i copied
/usr/share/FlightGear/data/Input/Joysticks/CH/pro-pedals-usb.xml to
/usr/share/FlightGear/data/Input/Joysticks/Saitek/pro-flight-ruddel-pedals-usb.xml
then replaced the CH releated name entried with
<name>Saitek Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals</name>

Means, the Saitek pedals are basically software compatible with the
CH pedals.

However, one side note: sometimes i need to re-plug the rudder
to get it working - it's probably some USB driver wiredness
(kernel throws some timeout messages for the rudder) ...

A friend of mine haveing the CH rudder recommended me to take the
Saitek :-)
