February 9, 20188 yr comment_36228 Kameraden, Having had the pleasure of unpacking and setting these up, how long before Hotlead has to explain to his family why he has such a big smile on his face? S! Report
February 9, 20188 yr comment_36229 Haha! Milan's website said that the delivery date for new orders would be February 20 when I ordered. I have yet to receive a notification that the pedals are ready and awaiting payment however. Also considering that they come from Croatia, I assume I'll be unpacking them around early March. I'll keep you posted! Report
February 21, 20188 yr comment_36744 Got an email from Milan saying that my order was ready. In 48 hours, I should get the invoice so I can make my payment. Then, he should have them shipped a few days after that. Report
February 21, 20188 yr comment_36753 I had intermittent rudder response the other night and my first thought was, "Maybe it's time to get myself some Crosswinds." LOL Seriously, though, I'm hoping it was the same interference that knocked my throttle out for a few minutes. Report
February 25, 20188 yr comment_36889 Just got an invoice for the pedals and sent the payment. They should ship within 7 days now. Report
February 25, 20188 yr comment_36909 Just got an invoice for the pedals and sent the payment. They should ship within 7 days now. Nice! Do they look different now than the old white ones I have? I heard they were going to update them; they were asking customer opinions a long while ago. Report
February 25, 20188 yr comment_36912 They had black or light grey as options. I chose light grey. Maybe they are the same as the old white ones? I’m not sure. We’ll see when I unbox them! Report
March 2, 20188 yr comment_37080 Got a shipping email with tracking info today! They are on the way! Report
March 9, 20188 yr comment_37425 They’re in France now. Here’s the tracking info for those who are interested: https://tracking.dpd.de/parcelstatus?query=17505015589168&locale=en_DE Report
March 13, 20188 yr comment_37628 If you're unhappy with the spring tension adjustment range, it's possible to change the spring to one with a different wire diameter and/or different winding diameter (same length). Many good hardware stores stock a wide variety of springs, and they don't cost much. You can take your original spring with you for comparison. I changed mine out for a lighter spring. For centering, I used the most defined cam profile available. I found the center detent action much less defined than what I was used to. You get accustomed to the new feel with time, of course. The amount of travel lock-to-lock is a lot. I set the pedal width to less than the full width. It still provides a LOT of accuracy, but gives you somewhat faster rudder response that way. The physical adjustability of the MFG's is awesome! Also, the DIView software is great, too. You can see ALL of your controllers (even keyboard and mouse) actions, for testing and analysis. Also it is cool that the Crosswinds apparently never need any kind of calibration, as far as I can tell. I think that might be because they use Hall Effect sensors instead of potentiometers. They just work perfectly, all of the time.....at least for me, in RoF. Enjoy! Report
March 13, 20188 yr comment_37629 I had to recalibrate them in DIView after my move, because they felt a little off. Opened up DIView and boom 30 seconds later they were recalibrated, and I've never had any issues since except when I had to open them up and replace my brake sensors. My dog decided that they were in the way of his ball haha! Anyway Milan shipped the sensors very quickly, and I was able to put them in no problem. Report
