CL30 Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 Hey gang, I need me some rudder pedals, bad. I don't have any right now. The MFG Crosswinds are what I've had my eye on. Right now I only have the Hog and Hornet, but I plan on picking up the Tomcat, Harrier, and Huey, so I want a good pair of pedals. I've heard nothing but good about the Crosswinds. My question is: do I need to get the add-ons? Ex: Cam centering and width adjustments. I'm a little confused by the Cams and whether it's a must-have.

Gladman Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 I've had Crosswinds for a couple years. Never bought any of the additional stuff and I'll never need it. As is, they are an absolutely excellent set of pedals. i9 9900K @ 5.1Ghz - ASUS Maximus Hero XI - 32GB 4266 DDR4 RAM - ASUS RTX 2080Ti - 1 TB NVME - NZXT Kraken 62 Watercooling System - Thrustmaster Warthog Hotas (Virpil Base) - MFG Crosswind Pedals - Pimax 5K+ VFA-25 Fist Of The Fleet [sigpic]http://forums.eagle.ru/signaturepics/sigpic99190_2.gif[/sigpic] Virtual Carrier Strike Group 1 | Discord

dburne Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 Had my Crosswinds since Dec 2015. Love them just as much today as day I got them. I did get the extra cam and width adjustment plate, ended up never using them.

Sokol1_br Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 (edited) You receive two CAM's with pedal and have an "realistic for propeller planes " as optional, features of each: https://mfg.simundza.com/assets/downloads/CAM%20Presentation.pdf Edited April 10, 2019 by Sokol1_br
Aviators Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 i love my Crosswinds! L'importante non è stabilire se uno ha paura o meno, è saper convivere con la propria paura e non farsi condizionare dalla stessa. Ecco, il coraggio è questo, altrimenti non è più coraggio ma incoscienza.
Ro_Bert Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 Excellent pedals, even if i have had some minor issues due to being early models. All solved with Milan helping out with "how to do this if you dumb as a rock" level of instructions. Like adding an extra m8 nut to magnet assembly etc, which have been fixed in later versions. I'd buy them again if I had to, for any reason.
Raisuli Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 I got the No. 5 cam, just because it was easier than wondering about it later. The differences are subtle, but I'm going to use it just because I want the increasing force as it goes to full deflection. Much better to have the physical feedback for me.
Outlaw24 Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 I didn't purchase any of the add-ons, I found the cams that shipped with the crosswinds efficent enough for me.

SVgamer72 Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 I got the width adapters to fit the pedals into the frame of an Obutto Rev3 game seat. Other than that they are perfect as is out of the box. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The answer to your question is don't over-think this. You're not going to be disappointed; add-ons are incremental.
Bob_Bushman Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 Add ons are incremental yes. But I also figured why not grab the extras from day one. Doesn't really cost that much considering. I have yet to even try the cam but I am getting good use out of the width adjustment kit. i7 8700k @ 4.7, 32GB 2900Mhz, 1080ti, CV1 Virpil MT-50\Delta, MFG Crosswind, Warthog Throttle, Virptil Mongoost-50 throttle.
