MFG Crosswind V2 also, they are an excellent set of rudder pedals!

For a few years now I have been using Logitech Pro Flight Rudder Pedals and have never been really happy with them and, despite hours of experimentation over that period, the input sensitivity is either too little of too much. So I decided to start looking around to invest in a more expensive set of pedals with hopefully a much more realistic response, similar to what I remember from my private flying days. Somewhat naturally I quickly found myself checking out Virtual Fly's Ruddo rudder pedals, which I am sure is an excellent unit, but the EUR 895 + airfreight price tag was a bit too frightening for me. So after a bit more investigation I came across a set of rudder pedals called MFG Crosswind and then found a review by Dslyecxi, a legend in Arma 3 helicopter flying, where in the sub title he stated 'A review of the best word not allowed rudder pedals I've ever owned'. https://youtu.be/xh_5keOriIo With a price of about half of the Ruddo pedals at EUR 450 + airfreight and after viewing Dslyecxi's review, I decided to take the chance and purchase the MFG Crosswind pedals. The package arrived a few days ago and have been using them constantly since then and any problems I had previously have now completely disappeared, the response now is not only near perfect, but there are endless options for adjustment both in hardware and software, though I have not had to use any of those features, I just assembled the unit, plug it in and ran a simple configuration program. The reason for adding this topic is not only to share how impressed I am with these new rudder pedals, but also to make the community aware of this alternative, as I could not find any mention of this hardware option in any of the flight sim sites I regularly visit

I have a 55inch 4K TCL screen that I have been using with TrackIR for many years and the combination works very well for me. I also have a HP Reverb VR headset, but I prefer the clarity/higher resolution and fps of the 4K screen along with the much easier ability to manipulate the cockpit controls while using TrackIR.
