I believe if you go to the website and click on the order link it will tell you what the lesd time is. I also believe new orders won't take as long as previous ones.

xaoslaad Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I got my invoice yesterday and tracking number today. The lead time is supposedly decreasing as they catch up with orders, so we're probably getting towards the end of the long waits according to an email they sent out some weeks ago.

hansangb Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Man this is tempting, I wonder what the lead time would be for new orders placed now... Milan said that he's ramping up production so the wait shouldn't be months like before. You should email him and ask though to be sure. I think it's totally worth it. I love how smooth it is.

dburne Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I have really, really got to stop reading this thread... I do not need to spend the money. Nothing wrong with my Saitek Combats. They work fine. No issue Except of course it is so hard to move them smoothly throughout the action. Dang things won't stop working... Watched the video reviews of the MFG's, man they look so smooth.

It is showing a December delivery, hoping they get here in time for my Christmas present lol. Really looking forward to trying the new pedals out. Hoping it makes me a little smoother in the Ka-50.

Beeroshima Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 They will definitely make your helo control better. I bought them almost exclusively for helos and don't regret it a bit. They make a huge difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worther_1 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Hi guys, currently I have a X55 hotas setup but no rudder pedals at all. I'm fine with fighter jets, but ever since I bought Ka-50 and Huey I find them almost impossible to control, so I'm thinking now I need rudder pedals. Money is tight so I was looking at Saitek pedals for £99 (Amazon). Do you guys think the MFG pedals are so much better that I'm better off saving a bit more and getting them straight off and not bothering with cheaper pedals? I don't want to be disappointed, the missus would kill me! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Worther_1 DCS Black Shark 2, A10-C, Huey, MiG-21bis, Hawk, Flaming Cliffs 3, F/A-18, Nevada Terrain.

NeilWillis Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I'd definitely advise you to hold onto your £99, and wait for the rest of the cash to become available. The MFG pedals are quite significantly better, and eventually, you'll want to upgrade, so I'd hang on, and get the best. They really ARE that much better.

tintifaxl Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 For helos I would suggest the VKB pedals as a not so pricey alternative. Windows 10 64bit, Intel i9-9900@5Ghz, 32 Gig RAM, MSI RTX 3080 TI, 2 TB SSD, 43" 2160p@1440p monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you guys think the MFG pedals are so much better that I'm better off saving a bit more and getting them straight off and not bothering with cheaper pedals? I don't want to be disappointed, the missus would kill me! Short and simple answer: yes While the Saitek pedals are okay, the MFG Crosswinds are just not within the same class. The materials used are solid, production quality is perfect and the feel of them is just amazing. I personally regret spending money on Saitek ProFlight padals, as they started to show signs of wear and tear within a year. Replacing them with the MFG Crosswinds was the right thing to do. No more frustration about the pedals. Also no more excuses for sloppy flying. :joystick::music_whistling: Check out my YouTube: xxJohnxx Intel i7 6800k watercooled | ASUS Rampage V Edition 10 | 32 GB RAM | Asus GTX1080 watercooled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
