Tantalum7 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Ordered the Crosswind pedals less than a week ago, and they were in my hands from Croatia to the Pacific NW of the US in under a week. Incredible service and outstanding quality. I really wanted to recognize them again for their service. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dburne Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Can't go wrong with the Crosswinds, incredible pedals - been running mine since Dec 2015 with zero issues. And he just doubled the resolution of the pedals in a recent firmware update - not that they were not already extremely precise before.

Can't make this work on my V2. Flashed the new firmware (v5.0.9) through the MFG Configurator (and Bootloader) and after the flash all is fine in the MFG Configurator, the resolution doubled to 8192, pedals at rest (middle) show 4096, pressing full left gives 0, pressing full right 8192. However, in game or Windows Calibration or DIView it does not work, it shows 0 with full left pedal but gives 8192 at middle position and still 8192 at full right. Manual recalibration halfs the res instead of doubling it, full left is then 1224, middle 2048 and full right around 3072. Going back to auto after that goes back to original problem. Flashed back to v5.0.5 (redusing the resolution back to default) and all is fine again. Also, after the flash to v5.0.9 i'm unable to run the MFG Configurator 2.17. It runs (it shows up in taskmanager) but the program is nowhere to bee seen, not even after a reboot. The only way to run the configurator again was using version 2.15 Win11 Pro 64-bit, Ryzen 5800X3D, Corsair H115i, Gigabyte X570S UD, EVGA 3080Ti XC3 Ultra 12GB, 64 GB DDR4 G.Skill 3600.

Personal Wish List: A6 Intruder, Vietnam theater, decent ATC module, better VR performance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to run the configurator again was using version 2.15 Strange not having that problem on my end. However I will say, never - ever - launch windows calibration with these pedals. Nor any other nice flight equipment like Virpil or VKB. You can try resetting your windows calibration to Default and then calibrate in MFG again. Alternatively drop Milan a line and I am sure he will get you sorted.

Lange_666 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 (edited) I didn't calibrate with Windows Calibration, just used it to see the response of the Z-axis to confirm the behavior and what i saw in the controls setup in DCS. Just gave it a second try, followed the instructions step by step, same issue. Went back to firmware v5.0.5 (with the same instructions), all fine again.

Lange_666 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 After contact with Milan and receiving the steps (same as in the manual) the problem still persisted. Flashing v5.0.9 resulted in full deflection already in the center, resetting the device as advertised did nothing, going back to v5.0.5 always solved the problem. Then Milan gave the tip to reset (set to default) the device in Windows Calibration. This worked. v5.0.9 is up and running. 1 Win11 Pro 64-bit, Ryzen 5800X3D, Corsair H115i, Gigabyte X570S UD, EVGA 3080Ti XC3 Ultra 12GB, 64 GB DDR4 G.Skill 3600.

In any event very glad you are sorted now! 1 Don B EVGA Z390 Dark MB | i9 9900k CPU @ 5.1 GHz | Gigabyte 4090 OC | 64 GB Corsair Vengeance 3200 MHz CL16 | Corsair H150i Pro Cooler |Virpil CM3 Stick w/ Alpha Prime Grip 200mm ext| Virpil CM3 Throttle | VPC Rotor TCS Base w/ Alpha-L Grip| Point Control V2|Varjo Aero| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lange_666 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 (edited) I missed that part, just did read over it after reading that i should never use Windows Calibration to calibrate a controller (which i never do). Thx for the heads-up... Edited May 25, 2022 by Lange_666 2 Win11 Pro 64-bit, Ryzen 5800X3D, Corsair H115i, Gigabyte X570S UD, EVGA 3080Ti XC3 Ultra 12GB, 64 GB DDR4 G.Skill 3600.
