Congratulations! And many thanks as well to your wife. When I first started using the MFG Crosswind pedals, the first thing that happened is I suddenly rocked back in my office chair. There was no way to lock it so I stole one of my dining room chairs for swimming. Skip from the WEH videos channel who’s a real-world pilot (and if I’m not confusing him with someone else, was a Vietnam bomber pilot) said something like if you get one hardware item for your sim, make it pedals.
These pedals are going to be great for Star Citizen and flying helicopters... which are the 2 things I want them for. I don't need no stinkin' brakes! I can't wait for my sticks and pedas to get here. HOSAS with 2 standard NXTs and these pedals. I'm beyond hyped.
I'm curious if your still liking your rudder pedals? I'm either thinking on getting these or the Thrustmaster TRP 's. The only reason I'm considering the thrustmaster pedals is to match up with my Warthog throttle and joystick along with the ability for toe brakes. It's a tough thought laying down an extra $300.00 for that. Let me know please. Good to see you posting some flights recently!
@@TheTallTurtle Great....I am going to grab me a set of these pedals. I don't mind using a button for the toe brakes. I used the trigger on my thrustmaster 1600 for toe brakes and that worked fine for me. Thanks for the advice!
Are they noisy? Some say springs are noisy and centre detent also. Reversing the cam fixes centre detent problem and applying some grease on springs also helps. Whats your experience?
@@TheTallTurtle I got them finally and I like em. After 2 days scraching noise could be heard when left pedal was in use. Dissasembled them and noticed that the bearing nut which holds the CAM was very loose and the CAM itseld was "dancing" freely so thats why it was touching lower part of CAM assembly. I tightened the nut and now all is working super fine and no sounds at all. How do you find ergonomics with these pedals? I was get used to wider and classic rudder pedals so this is a bit narrow for me but I kinda find a position where I can rest my legs while using them. Also there is a solution to rest the feets completely on heel rests and then just to raise the upper part of foots to use rudder when needed. Anyways the feet motion is probably much precise than with classic pedals where you move entire legs (knees working also).
I am going to divorce my wife after telling her that your wife actually bought you a brilliant gift like this unlike the crap mine gives me every year.
Have you tried in DCS? If so did you have any trouble binding them? I bought these over a month ago and still can’t get them to work. Vkb is absolutely zero help😡
Because I was in a super huge hurry making this video, so my brain and speaking voice weren't in sync. :) Very busy time for me. As I type this, I haven't had time to touch the pedals since!

Those are the Official Rudder Pedals of Digital Combat Simulator.
Great video! I hope mine come tomorrow.

Still loving the pedals; still don't care that they don't have toe brakes. :)

I have absolutely no noise at all. None. (I read about the noise, too, but that certainly isn't my experience.)

I haven't tried DCS, and I don't know much about it, honestly.
@@TheTallTurtle oh ok, yeah like I said I can’t get mine to work. Sucks
Thanks for the reply
