Flamin_Squirrel Posted June 26, 2016 Author Posted June 26, 2016 I was wondering if Milan will ever introduce load cells for the brakes? I think this is the only upgradeI could think of.
remi Posted June 26, 2016 Posted June 26, 2016 Now they just need do a CAM gimbal for this MFG SiMM8Rge. :) By wires, this sensors work in digital BUS. http://mfg.simundza.com/blog/new-software-and-firmware-for-all-mfg-devices-released/ What exactly is this indicating? Is Milan planning on replacing the sensors of the warthog stick? What are the advantages? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Sokol1_br Posted June 26, 2016 Posted June 26, 2016 What exactly is this indicating? Is Milan planning on replacing the sensors of the warthog stick? What are the advantages? No, is not for replace sensors in Warthog, because the sensors in this joysticks is "3D" - mix X and Y axis. The solution in picture use one individual sensor per axis. Accord their blog SIMM8rge and sensors is target for DIY. Can be used for example for replace the obsolete 8 bits controller and pot' of CH Fighterstick, or Tm Cougar. Or some DIY in what the owner want use Warthog/Cougar grip. The picture is for show that SIMM8rge is compatible "PnP" with Warthog/Cougar grips (use shift register).
zbmtwo Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 Love my new pedals Received my new pedals a week ago - Milan provides great customer service and was very responsive during the ordering & shipping process. Out of the box the pedals were plug & play; after some use in DCS I had cause to increase the FIR filter on the MLX from 2 to 3 due to spurious inputs. Worked a treat. One trap: when trying to apply this setting the MFG Configurator tool errored out with "KBETA TOO HIGH" - per the MLX datasheet KBETA is a parameter for 3D joystick functions and not applicable in the case of the MFG Crosswind. KBETA defaults to 1.8 in the MFG software tool and after setting it to "0" I was able to write the new settings to the chip. The pedal base is very slippery on carpet, so I used cable ties to secure the pedals to a rubber mat - very secure, able to apply full force to pedals without undue torsion of pedal base (see attached images for example). If you are purchasing these pedals, consider how you are going to mount them - they have stand offs to mount against a wall, but if you're not going to place them against a wall please consider how you are going to secure them. Excellent quality, great customer service, fantastic value for money. I suppose this isn't news to anyone reading this, but I feel obligated to report given the excellent quality of the sales experience and received goods :) Cannot recommend highly enough. Thanks mate! 1
Sokol1_br Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) BTW - In MFG soft 2.15 are the manual for SIMM8rge USB Controller. http://mfg.simundza.com/assets/downloads/MFG%20Software%20package%20V2.15.zip Some interesting features: Up to 128 buttons - with extender cards - in DCS for example. Four Melexis MLX90333 (digital mode) in 3D mode with swing magnet (like in Warthog stick) or 2D mode with turn or sliding magnets. Compatible too with analog axis - potentiometers, HALL sensor in analog mode. Edited July 2, 2016 by Sokol1_br

YoYo Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Hello. Hi, after my "adventures" (topic is here http://il2forum.pl/index.php/topic,17753.0.html in Polish) with Combat Saitek Rudder Pedals (I used it from 5 years) I met Milan's product from Croatia: MFG Crosswind. Now MFG starts to produce the new model (2016) of this rudder pedals in Bf-109 style: grey and medium grey. I recived Today the first unit of this new line. The weight is near 5-6 kg and quality looks amazing . Orginal photos: The website of MFG, more: http://mfg.simundza.com/products Received unit (not setup yet): Plus the movie after unboxing: PAFRWIV4jQU Regards. 1 Webmaster of http://www.yoyosims.pl Win 10 64, i9-13900 KF, RTX 4090 24Gb OC, RAM 64Gb Corsair Vengeance LED OC@3600MHz,, 3xSSD+3xSSD M.2 NVMe, Predator XB271HU res.2560x1440 27'' G-sync, Sound Blaster Z + 5.1, TiR5, [MSFS, P3Dv5, DCS, RoF, Condor2, IL-2 CoD/BoX] VR fly only: Meta Quest Pro
cichlidfan Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 How do these differ from the old Crosswinds? Just colour? They certainly look better in this colour scheme IMO. That is all I see. The pedal is identical to what we have.

Milan MFG Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 That is all I see. The pedal is identical to what we have. Yep, it's a new graphite/black color that we start producing now in August. It's just the color and a slight, barely noticable redesign of the footrests ( grey models produced since May also have this slight redesign on footrests but nothing dramatic). Starting from August we offer a color option - customers can choose to buy in mild grey or graphite color.... will update our website regarding news Enjoy Milan

outlawal2 Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Are there any distributors in the US? Also, what is your currency? I tried to do the online conversion thing and I am not certain what the site is listing for currency.. "Pride is a poor substitute for intelligence." RAMBO
Bearfoot Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Currency is Euro. This is actually clearly stated everywhere on the site, from the first page to the order page: E.g. on first page: "€ 256.00 / € 320 for EU Incl. VAT" On order page: Region Price Transit time EU 1 - Austria, Germany, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovenia 18 € 2-4 days EU 2 - All EU Countries except EU 1 and EU 3 22 € 3-6 days EU 3 - Finland, Greece, Bulgaria, Rumunia, Norway 43 € 5-8 days United States, Switzerland 62 € 5-10 days Rest of World 80 € 6-12 days
outlawal2 Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Yep it was clearly stated except that I never have any dealings with currency other than the US so I had no idea what that symbol represented... I looked up Croatian currency and saw something completely different so considering this is a lot of cash I wanted to make CERTAIN what I was dealing with.. Thank you for the info... So basically $286 plus shipping of $69... Still wondering if there are any US distributors.. ? "Pride is a poor substitute for intelligence." RAMBO
Flamin_Squirrel Posted August 2, 2016 Author Posted August 2, 2016 Still wondering if there are any US distributors.. ? Can't say 100%, but I very much doubt it.
dburne Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 So basically $286 plus shipping of $69... Sounds about right - about what I paid as well here in the States. They are well worth the dollars, the quality of these pedals are excellent. Still wondering if there are any US distributors.. ? I don't think so, I have never seen any mention of anyone. Milan sells directly, and trust me from my experience with him, the ordering process is very painless and the communication throughout is excellent. I have never seen anyone complain at all about the ordering process and delivery of the product.

Rogue Trooper Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 So it is black or Storm Trooper white.

cichlidfan Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Would love to have a set in the black, however since I own a set that would be a serious extravagance, I am actually more interested in the F-16 style pedals, if that option is still in the works.
