CH PRO PEDALS and Linux X-Plane
The CH Pro Pedals feel like very well constructed pedals and come with no drivers meaning they are USB HID and should work out of the box.
they come with with two black plastic "plugs" to lock the sliding motion allowing them to use be used as petrol / brake controls with ease.
and while they don't weigh a lot they don't slide around on my carpet flooring.

Carenado B1900 HD Series on Linux
The Beechcraft 1900 is a 19-passenger, pressurised twin-engine turboprop fixed-wing aircraft. It was designed, and is primarily used, as a regional airliner. It is also used as a freight aircraft, corporate transport, and by the United States military and other governments. The aircraft is designed to carry passengers in all weather conditions from airports with relatively short runways. It is capable of flying in excess of 600 miles (970 km).
