xaoslaad Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 I would not get worked up over the time it takes for international deliveries. As soon as it's international it involves customs and usually switching couriers. I've done this with small electronics from Israel via two different couriers multiple times as well and it was no better. Basically plan on 2.5 weeks and slow or non-existent status updates between the time it leaves the first couriers hands and it reaches your front door. I had never seen the lost/missing paperwork before, but regardless of that it's still well on par with anything else I've received in terms of time clearing customs.
DD_Crash Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Roll on January :) I am looking forward to getting these.

I understand anytime you have something shipped to you international or not you could get delays. Other people from the US have received theirs in 7-8, days. I still don't have mine and it's going on 2 weeks. And, as I stated before, I received something From Spain in 2 days. I started this rant and would like to end it now. I'm sorry I derailled this thread. I'll have them soon and will certainly enjoy them as much as everybody else. The next time I post will be to say I received them and how great they are. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Lian Li 011 Dynamic Evo, Core i9 11900K @ 5.0GHz, Corsair H150i CPU cooler, Asus Prime Z590-A, Radeon RX6800 XT64GB, Team T-Force Delta DDR4 3600, Corsair RM1000X PSU, Win 11 x64
xaoslaad Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 I got mine in the mail today. Just set them up and tested them a little. My first impression is that these things are utterly amazing! So much less wobbling taxiing the A-10, nice subtle adjustments in the Mi-8, etc. Worth the wait and money. Order if you haven't! :D
Lucky Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 My pedals have arrived. Ser.# 1199. They are really buttery smooth. Minor adjustments are easier and more precise then with my Saitek Pro Flight pedals. Still have to play around and tweak them a little more though, and I have to decide which cam to use. My compliments to Milan.

dburne Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 My pedals have arrived. :thumbup: Glad to see you finally got them, I know you were getting concerned there.

Lucky Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 :thumbup: Glad to see you finally got them, I know you were getting concerned there. Curious to hear your thoughts on the different cams. C'mon December! I decided to go with cam4. It has a very subtle center detent and smooth equal pressure out to the ends. This was the choice of early testers in the beginning. Cam5 has the same center detent but gets harder towards the ends. Cam6 has a prounced center detent which I don't want.

Rogue Trooper Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Cam 5 is great for WWII aircraft... just feels right some how, like you gotta work hard against the airflow. Cam 4 is my fav for everything else. HP G2 Reverb (Needs upgrading), Windows 10 VR settings: IPD is 64.5mm, High image quality, G2 reset to 60Hz refresh rate. set to OpenXR, but Open XR tool kit disabled. DCS: Pixel Density 1.0, Forced IPD at 55 (perceived world size), DLSS setting is quality at 1.0. VR Driver system: I9-9900KS 5Ghz CPU. XI Hero motherboard and RTX 3090 graphics card, 64 gigs Ram, No OC... Everything needs upgrading in this system!. Vaicom user and what a superb freebie it is! Virpil Mongoose T50M3 base & Mongoose CM2 Grip (not set for dead stick), Virpil TCS collective with counterbalance kit (woof woof). Virpil Apache Grip (OMG). MFG pedals with damper upgrade. Total controls Apache MPDs set to virtual Reality height. Simshaker Jet Pro vibration seat.. Uses data from DCS not sound... goodbye VRS.

grunf Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I'm seriously considering getting the Crosswinds, but I'm concerned by the lack of room below my desk, especially the height. Would you be so kind to measure how high are your feet from the floor? I know it's very individual, but it will give me an idea.

Would you be so kind to measure how high are your feet from the floor? I know it's very individual, but it will give me an idea. The height in the configuration i use is ~ 23,5cm from the floor to the highest point of the pedals, that would be ~ 9,251969 inches if google isn't lying to me. ;) Modules: KA-50, A-10C, FC3, UH-1H, MI-8MTV2, CA, MIG-21bis, FW-190D9, Bf-109K4, F-86F, MIG-15bis, M-2000C, SA342 Gazelle, AJS-37 Viggen, F/A-18C, F-14, C-101, FW-190A8, F-16C, F-5E, JF-17, SC, Mi-24P Hind, AH-64D Apache, Mirage F1, F-4E Phantom II System: Win 11 Pro 64bit, Ryzen 3800X, 32gb RAM DDR4-3200, PowerColor Radeon RX 6900XT Red Devil ,1 x Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 2TB NVMe, 2 x Samsung SSD 2TB + 1TB SATA, MFG Crosswind Rudder Pedals - VIRPIL T-50CM and VIRPIL MongoosT-50 Throttle - HP Reverg G2, using only the latest Open Beta, DCS settings
Lucky Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) According to Milans website, the maximum height of the pedals would be 264mm or 10.3 inches. Width is 494mm or 19.4 inches.
