Sokol1_br Posted August 3, 2019 Posted August 3, 2019 Other "high end" option is VirPil version of well regarded BRD (Baur) pedals, like Slaw Viper allow use with heels on the floor. https://virpil.com/en/blog/166-vpc-pre-orders-update

dburne Posted August 4, 2019 Posted August 4, 2019 Been using the Crosswinds since Dec 2015 and they are superb!

Wmacky Posted August 4, 2019 Posted August 4, 2019 Aren't crosswinds setup for WW2 type planes only? (Whole foot on pedal) I prefer the more modern heel on floor style if I could only choose one. Also. I prefer all metal construction, so for me it would be the TPR's, or Slaws. Virpil would be a option after some reviews.
gartht63 Posted August 4, 2019 Posted August 4, 2019 If money is no object, you can't go wrong with the Slaws. The smoothness of movement, the sheer heft of the product and the quality of the construction is well worth the wait. It is a professional grade product.
wrl11 Posted August 4, 2019 Posted August 4, 2019 I had the cheaper TM T.flight rudder pedals. They were ok, good choice for a lower price point option. But I recently bought the MFG Crosswinds and they are great. I highly recommend them. .

The material used for the Crosswinds I am very familiar with as I used to be in that industry before retiring, it is some very tough material and trust me it ain't gonna break. However yes, it is feet on pedals so if that is not good for you, then another option certainly would be better. The pedal base was designed to have possibility for him to add the heel on floor type pedals, and he has talked about it a few times over the last 3 years or so, but no sign yet of that coming to fruition.

Sokol1_br Posted August 4, 2019 Posted August 4, 2019 ... very tough material and trust me it ain't gonna break. Neither rust or peel paint, I have seen pictures of "all metal" pedals (2 different brands) with some rust.

Waxer Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 I am using Slaw V2 pedals. Very pleased with them. I had been using twist stick previously, but so glad I got these now that I am getting into the Tomcat more (and that is something where you need the rudder pedals a lot). [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Canadus Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 MFG Crosswinds; using them for 1 1/2 years now. Great pedals. Sturdy material. Cool design. Absolutely pleased with them. Had contacted Baur shortly before, but he didn‘t do pedals anymore, mostly due to working with Virpil?! Would recommend Crosswind, if someone is looking for good pedals, with toebrakes.

Guppy Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) Thrustmaster TPRs - they're absolutely amazing. IMHO they need to be mounted to the floor though. If you can't mount your pedals to the floor then VKB's are the way to go. they push down with your heel on the ground.
