Buckeye Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 MFG Crosswind Combat version Yeah Milan has stated in the past that is why he designed the front part of the base to be so narrow, as to accommodate the addition of combat pedals at some point in the future. Hopefully that is still the plan, who knows when though... For sure. Looks like he missed that “taking orders by October or November” timeline he gave me last year. Happy I ended up going with the Slaw’s, would’ve been tough to continue holding out/waiting this long with no clear end in sight. In any case, I am sure once they are here they will be well worth the wait. Milan does great work.

escaner Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 That is what I thoght 6 months ago, but after ordering a different set of pedals, it is starting to happen the same. So I was re-considering MFG. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I was re-considering MFG. haha I was just making light of what I assume is a frustrating situation for many owners. I've traded many emails with Milan, he is an outstanding guy and is dedicated to making his customers happy. I am sure he will eventually get these rolled out, he seems to have been working on it for quite a while so hopefully it's close. My guess is he hit a couple challenges or pivots along the way.

Outlaw24 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I don't see the combat add on pedals coming anytime soon and it been a long wait already. But it would be nice to get an offical update from him, or at least post some info on his web site.

Tvrdi Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I dont have time (knowledge I would learn probably) to make combat footrests. But these are loking good enough. Is anybody willing to make one I would buy it? All I need is to be able to rest my heels on the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rel4y Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 I plan to make a small batch out of airgraft grade aluminium. But I need your guys help, I dont have the Crosswinds and I need accurate dimensions. If anybody could help me with the accurate dimensions of the pedal lever, angle, screw holes, threads etc, I could be done in no time.

Ranma13 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 If you plan to make a small batch, you really need to own the Crosswind. Trusting someone to provide you accurate measurements and then manufacturing the pedals solely based on those measurements, is going to have a high likelihood of the pedals not being able to fit properly.

rel4y Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Well, I would obviously make a prototype and send it to him. I am not new to engineering stuff. :P However, with accurate measurements a simple one piece pedal has a high likelyood of being perfect the first time. That being said I already organized someone whos shipping his pedals to me, so dont worry.

Sokol1_br Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 (edited) Seems a easy thing to do even without a Crosswind, the only critical measure is diameter and length of tube that hold magnet: Edited November 4, 2018 by Sokol1_br Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rel4y Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 OK, thats another way to do it. I didnt know that you could take out the shaft that easily. I actually planned to mount it to the small plate the pedals are attached to, just with screws going in from the back and tap the threads into the aluminium pedals. I guess it all depends on the height of the foot rests and what is the most comfortable in the end. :) Cougar, CH and Saitek PnP hall sensor kits + shift registers: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=220916 Shapeways store for DIY flight simming equipment and repair: https://www.shapeways.com/shops/rel4y-diy-joystick-flight-simming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tvrdi Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I woder why Milan abandoned the combat footrests production. So whoever make the combat footrests would profit alot. BTW, these (from the pic) look great and pedals look "more right". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
