Nash Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 Hi Milan, A quick question... Any chance of upgrading the USB type B plug on the Crosswinds to a newer type like a USB type C or something ?

Net-burst Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 Hi Milan, A quick question... Any chance of upgrading the USB type B plug on the Crosswinds to a newer type like a USB type C or something ? IMHO, bad idea. Type B is way more sturdy, than Type C.
FeistyLemur Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 IMHO, bad idea. Type B is way more sturdy, than Type C. I can think of literally no benefit to usb c for a game controller. the cables are stupid expensive, they're less durable, there's no need for the bandwidth.
Milan MFG Posted September 3, 2016 Posted September 3, 2016 Type c would be just unnecessary complication... we currently have usb 2 type B with 1000 updates per second capability, and we crimped it down to 250 updates per second because there is no need for any faster.... so why to upgrade to type c and worry about drivers, compatibility with older systems ??

Openhand Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 I am a newbie but milan's mfg crosswinds work great, smelled a bit strange out of the box but that disappears quickly. Fits well on the wheelstand pro as well, and i can adjust it in many ways and program it a bit. Could you ask for anything better? Keep in mind tho that if you are new to flight pedals that you will want to consider using or purchasing a chair that can stay still and firm on the floor without moving around.

I have a wheeled office chair on hardwood floor and it wasn't too bad. However, I did cut up two rubber gaskets in half and used it as chocks.

MAD-MM Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 Have my Crosswind now for good one Year in action, overall no doubt there the best ones out there. For me there two things in my mind what be great addition, first of all the adjustable spring is from the layout not a constant spring force. What i mean for full deflection have to much force or not enough for accurate centering. For intial tension possible two extra Springs with low force on the center bearing greater centering. Second one, is have many time's i sliped the way from the pedals because his smoothe surface. Would be great there was addition old school leather Straps like aviation use side the beginning to prefent sliping from the Pedals...

Nash Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) Can't wait for the F-16 style pedals to come out. Planning on ordering as soon as they do. Yeah me too, been waiting for ages for those combat style pedals... I hear that the BAUR BRD-MS3 metal unit with Su-35 style combat pedals is also a formidable, compact and cheaper option ... I love the non metal Crosswinds but cant wait indefinitely for Milan to release the combat style pedals... Also the BRDs also provide higher resistance as you push further. I believe the Crosswinds do too,,, Maybe someone who has used both can shed some light on this ...:music_whistling: Edited September 22, 2016 by Nash Check Six!!!__ ||AMD R7-2700X||ASUS ROG STRIX-X470F Gaming||SAPPHIRE RX 7900 XTX 24GB OC||GSKILL-TridentZRGB 16GBDDR4 3200C14||WARTHOG HOTAS||CORSAIR RM 1000X||

hansangb Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 Hey can you post picture of your wheel brakes for office chair? I need to make something similar There's nothing to it really. Just take two rubber gasket (similar to this) and cut it in half. Then after you sit down, you reach down and put one in the front and back of the wheels. I just do the two front wheels and the chair stays put. I can take a picture of it on Friday when I get back.

Vlerkies Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 A quick stop solution till you get some chocks made up for your chair with wheels is to take a thick bath/beach towel, fold it a few times and place it under the chair. Once your weight is on the chair the wheels don't move so the chair keeps position. It's not very elegant but it is functional ;) Just don't pick the missus's favorite towel, that may result in you getting grounded :D Thermaltake View 91, Z390 Gigabyte Aorus Ultra, i9 9900K, Corsair H150i Pro, 32Gb Trident Z 3200, Gigabyte Aorus Extreme 2080ti, Corsair AX1200i, Warthog A-10 Hotas, MFG Crosswind pedals, TiR5 Pro, HP Reverb Pro
klem Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 I have a chair that locks the wheels when you sit on it. Unfortunately the plastic internal dog-tooth locking soon broke up so I added 'brake pads':- I used cushion floor off-cuts, each 15mm x 6mm x 3-4mm thick and super-glued them under the wheel arches so that when I sit down the pads are pushed down onto the wheels. Works like a charm even though three or four pads have come off (I will glue back on). So if you have vertical movement in the wheels, try that. klem 56 RAF 'Firebirds' ASUS ROG Strix Z390-F mobo, i7 8086A @ 5.0 GHz with Corsair H115i watercooling, Gigabyte 2080Ti GAMING OC 11Gb GPU , 32Gb DDR4 RAM, 500Gb and 256Gb SSD SATA III 6Gb/s + 2TB , Pimax 8k Plus VR, TM Warthog Throttle, TM F18 Grip on Virpil WarBRD base, Windows 10 Home 64bit
