Headwarp Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Wow Milan really is selling a lot of these things this quarter isn't he? Lol. I've been checking my email like a crazy person all month. I guess I will look forward to actually paying him in early April. I am glad this thread exists though, I'd be bugging Milan too much, and I don't want to take away from what time he has to spend making Crosswinds.

Headwarp Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Invoice received. Mine were a really nice birthday gift though, so I'll edit this post with serial # when I receive that information. I'm also going to say here something similar to what I just said to Milan. He never took more than a day to respond to any email inquiry throughout this entire process, even being as busy as might be indicated just by reading this thread over the last month. I don't vouch for people easily. It's been a pleasure doing business with Milan.

spaceraver Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I still love my pedals. I wonder if we can make a flight stick with the same kind of mechanism? Or at least the base.. I know it will be large as the base, but the feel would be awesome. Anything with a Rotary Wing is fun and challenging. Use SRS radio.

I've ordered on 13.1.2016 Well hope this helps ease your pain with impatience. The wait for these or so far projection for mine is like a month and a half and we don't get charged till they are ready to ship, I've got thousands hung up on other items that i had to pay full: one I've been waiting 8 months for now ... so this wait isn't bad for me.

fastfreddie Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Got a question for other Crosswind owners. I'm having a problem flying the Dora with the crosswinds and need to tone them down for this craft. They are just two responsive or sensitive for steady flight or most combat maneuvers. No problems with the Mustang or K-4 but the Dora I've had some problems adjusting to. Just wondering what others have done ... I hate messing with the MFG software side of it because it will change everything on other aircraft that I don't have a problem. I have lowered or changed curves on the DCS which helped some but looking for suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yurgon Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I have lowered or changed curves on the DCS which helped some but looking for suggestions. That would be my first solution: Set a curve in DCS and adjust it so you feel comfortable. In most modules, I've set a curve of 15 for the rudders and that feels very good. Without curve, they're too responsive for my taste. Might work okay with a very tight spring, but I prefer to keep it soft to retain a lot of flexibility for the choppers, and I don't like screwing and unscrewing it for each module individually. That said, I haven't flown the props in a while, but I don't recall that big a difference in yaw behavior between the Kurfürst and the Dora - both try to kill me on every take-off and landing in almost equal fashion. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder your have trouble on takeoff/landings. You have virtually no rudder input at all. I left X saturation alone at 100 and changed Y to 60 so I still have enough control on the ground but balance doing hammerheads or other combat maneuvers. I've tightened the spring quite a bit but may lower it for helos. I agree unscrewing over and over for each module isn't favorable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yurgon Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 15 curve is reducing it way to much ... especially on the ground with no airspeed. No wonder your have trouble on takeoff/landings. You have virtually no rudder input at all. Errr, what are you talking about? Like I said, these values work very well for me, always have, and I see no relation between a well tuned rudder setting and the fact that high powered WWII props are very difficult to take-off and land in. I also usually start with 0 curve in new aircraft, typically decide that it's impossible to fine-control, and then quickly settle on 15 (for joystick X and Y as well).

NeilWillis Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Putting a curve of 15 in sounds totally sensible to me too Yurgon. All you are doing is reducing the initial input, which, in flight. gives you a much more controllable co-ordination of turns. On the ground, using much larger rudder deflections anyway, you'll have all the control you need. Just leave the saturation alone, and it works very well indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
