I just love your channel and your persona. You are such an intelligent and well read man, and yet you're so (genuinely, not falsely) self-deprecating. It's a very English quality that I've rarely seen in the last three decades.

As someone who has been into flight sims for a long while but is only just getting around to buying proper peripherals I found this to be immensely useful. Your style of presentation was a touch dry for my tastes, although not so dry I lost interest, but packed with information and it has confirmed my instinct to hold off and save for some MFG crosswinds and this is something I must thank you for as the pedals were the only detail I had yet to settle on and given the lack of options at a price point that isn't professional grade, I found it quite difficult to make a decision. So thank you.

Ha, okay, I will attempt to be a bit 'wetter' in future videos but I think maybe I'm stuck with my style of presentation! I am glad you found it useful anyway.

You are just fine Sir!. Keep your style of presentation which I would classify as "professional", "mature" & "spot on". After all we don't see videos like this to entertain ourselves rather to get most accurate, honest & unbiased information rich experience.

Btw, I came over while researching for investing in MFG Crosswinds and after hearing your review I will go for it. My application is to use them for Arma 3 Heli flying. Would you have any recommendation for a good Joy Stick sir?

Thanks, love the video since we get to learn about what they're good for as well as the information about the pedals. I do wonder what you think about the Thrustmaster TPR pedals that appeared years later if you've taken a look.

I haven't tried the TM pedals, sorry. Make sure to check out my update on the MFGs with the new damper mod.

Thank you for the detailed video, I think I'm gonna go with MFG. Great aircraft... the Decathlon/Scout was my first FSX addon and its aged incredibly well. Great flight dynamics by Real Air, who I will miss.

Yes, I'm going to be flying the Scout some more in P3D hopefully. It can be made to work pretty much fine in P3Dv4.

Well, they're pretty good but I think the FlightLink ones feel better. There's also now the RUDDO from Virtual Fly, which I haven't tried. The trapezoid design of the MFGs (and the Saiteks) has come in for some criticism as being unlike most real-world rudder systems.

@@AlmostAviation The Ruddo is three times the price of the MFG Crosswinds and given the exceptional build quality of the Crosswinds (no plastic parts, 17 ball bearings and contactless sensors and magnets to measure angle positions so virtually no wearing parts) they are hard to beat unless you have a very healthy bank balance. And yes, I am biased. I ordered my MFG's about 2 hours ago after a lot of research.

@@kevinblythe2192 Indeed the quality is exemplary, but it's the design that's the issue, notably of the toe brakes. I would love to try the RUDDOs but they are eye-wateringly expensive for an impulse purchase. There is also a new offering from FlyHirundo, which isn't yet out but looks like being a major contender.

Generally this problem can be solved by ticking the 'reverse' check box in the FSX setup dialog for differential brakes. Same with FSUIPC, there is a 'reverse' option in the axis setup.

You will need to say a bit more about what hardware you have, what you are actually doing to set your brakes up and what the symptoms of the problem are.
