That is awesome! I been eyeing the crosswinds for awhile.

Gthey do look sick!
BThe Crosswind is excellent. If you elect not to make it FFB, I suggest getting the optional damper and dialing the spring on the pedals way down to get more of a heli feel.
If you're a total heli guy, there are some cool things that can be 3D printed for the pedals. I printed these (although I don't have them installed since I fly airplanes too, and need the brakes). https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4824434 There are more Crosswind goodies at https://t.ly/4tMzb

These are a very simple remix of the excellent Bar Pedals by Asherao that extend over the landing gear brake springs.
They are the perfect size to fit the Crosswind pedals submerged in a Simlab P1(X) frame.
105mm has 10mm clearance on both sides when the flight pedals are lowered inside the P1 frame.
In my case this allowed me to leave my flight...

Download files and build them with your 3D printer, laser cutter, or CNC. Thingiverse is a universe of things.
CThank you for info! Any idea on time frame for the FFB addition to them? Or point me to where it has been discussed?
TTry a search
CThanks will do.
SIf im making a monstertech style deskmount should i extend the joystick mount to the ground with a rhino fitted (for stability?)
D@stryker990 Yes like this
DUse parco and measure the length you need for the pole that goes to the ground

TUmm, that a chinese yak52? Looks closer to 18 tho.
IDeveloped from the Yak 18
IFaster , more fuel and a bit more refined than the Yak52

EIs there any information regarding the WinWing adapter? I have winwing grip I want to use. I also want to have extension piece. Therefore, some info would be required... Is it merely mechanical adapter or also electrical?
C4 Rhinos shipped
WIt's a mechanical + electronic adapter, so you can use either WW or TM/Virpil extension
EDoes it change the height of the Rhino?
RIt does yes. Looks to be about 37mm it adds in height to the grip.
Roh snap I'm pink now 
D61 to go! Woohoo!!
Pthere can be only one Pink!
Pyou can be salmon red
BWoa, it seems i just jumped up 70 spots in the cue
Pthis is one of the nicest monstertech mounts i've seen where it has a foot like that. im gonna use that on my winwing.
DAh mostly all parco parts, ill upload the .pdf for parts reference when I get a chance that I got from @ramasurinenmikejohnson
DThe only monster mount part I was forced to buy was the expensive conversion mount kit to table bc the one part I could not source was the top plate, so I bit the bullet and got the kit. I will most likely add 5 inch parco leg pole, one more foot, and two angle brackets to support the weight.
DWhat's great is that it's a simple setup that I can put up quickly and take it down ... All with one clamp AND I dont have to cut a hole in my chair bc the stick fits above the base. I use pads and a HF8 haptic seatpad to push me forward a bit. Works perfectly in a nice comfy bucket seat racing gaming chair like posted.
DI do racing, flying and FPS in VR with minimal space in a tiny childs size desk. Its great.
Pthe monstertech extrusions are pricy for what they are, but what I can say they are way more accurately finished and seem to be higher quality than most of the other extrusions. also those bessey clamps are also very solid. their extrusion anodizing is also better i think. but you can build it far cheaper and source the parts yourself too.
Pwould VPforce be interested in making FFB Flight Pedals?
But dual use so they can be used in Flight sim as well as space sim.

Pthere are rudder ones, but I'm talking about FFB on the Toe brakes as well.

My first impressions of the Brunner CLS-E MK II Force Feedback Rudder Pedals. Do the Brunner CLS-E Rudders Pedals really give you the feedback youโve been missing from your flight simulator?
In this video I go through what you get in the box, some basics about the rudders pedals themselves and my first-time reactions flying them in Microsoft F...

Psomething like this, but with FFB on the Toe Brakes too.
Pit might seem irrelevant but Toe brake FFB combined with rudder pedal FFB would give a level of immersion and feel of a real aircraft where you can feel as it interacts with everything else, and you can accomplish it with a belt drive that rotates a stepper motor, the same as with the FFB joystick.
PEspecially with takeoff/landing on smaller planes without autobrake.

AItโs possible. You need I think 1 of the the large motors and like some vkb rudders or the mfg crosswind. Thereโs a bunch of people around here that have done it

NThe pedal axis is the easy part. But even the smallest BLDC motors I've seen (28mm), which aren't available from VPforce, would be extremely challenging to design into the brake axes.. and even then, I doubt they could provide enough force to make a convincing hydraulic brake emulation.
DIn case anyone is using a Rhino with a DOF Reality motion platform, here's how I did it with my H6.
The available space is quite restricted, but it just about fitted in front of the seat on a small platform above the main spine. I fitted that on a pivot so that I could swing it forward when climbing on or off, as I'm an old fat slob !
Here's a youtube video of me turning it off and exiting the rig.

AI didnโt even think about that, but coming from IRL flying I donโt think that the โbrake emulationโ for a hydraulic feel couldnโt be solved by dampeners on the toe brakes?
ๅThe thing is, I don't think real toe brakes normally provide any "FFB(control loading)", no? Force is the thing that common flight sim rudder pedals really lack... if shake is needed, IMO "toe shaker" or even buttkick is the way to go
ALike unless you have bad pads youโre not really feeling anything more than what a traditional damper in like a sim pedal couldnโt achieve
ANow for rudder thatโs entirely different. But toe brakes - youโre simulating hydraulics that would have no โforce feedbackโ โ dampening rods or if you wanna get freaking wildโฆyou can use small slave cylinders for a manual transmission behind the toe brakes for a real Hydraulic feel. But yeahโฆ
NI dont disagree.. was just responding to the OP bringing up the brake axis.
AI was actually responding to the op to I just woke up and happend to read yours last lol I was adding to what you were saying
