VKB-SIM

And when comes the sliding throttle with electronic detents only? I'd be very interested to know if those detents are still under development. According to a ...err.. 2021? post on this forum, VKB were in the process of getting patents related to that feature. Seeing how they didn't include them up...

RRP: - STECS MINI $199 - STECS MINI PLUS $219 - STECS STANDARD $279 - STECS MAX $319 Those are US-prices and doubly irrelevant. 1. US prices are excluding shipping - and shipping cost in the US-store were pretty high last I checked. Between $40 to $50, IIRC depending on the product(s). 2. US store ...

So a complete upgrade is in the works? Meaning after the upgrade the Mk III will have all the new features of the Mk IV ... even the spring pre-tensioners?

Is it impossible to return to the center completely with the soft center cam? Short answer: It is absolutely possible for the stick to return to center with a soft cam. I use soft center Space-cams and my stick returns to dead center every time I simply let it go from full deflection. It all depend...

Since I started it anyway, I'm going to use this thread to share some of my thoughts and further questions re the GF Mk III to Mk IV upgrade: We already know that Mk IV will get: - a new Black Box (ver III) - new/improved clutch design - spring pre-tensioners - new grip-to-gimbal connection VKB have...

Do we need upgrade kit for extension as well, considering there will be new contact? Fallout already covered it, but: I couldn't see a pic of the grip part of the connector, but they did post one of the gimbal-side: https://preview.redd.it/vkb-hotas-phase-one-v0-cb3rxnax8xcb1.jpg?width=1800&for...

From VKB USA's website and that reddit post - referring to the Mk IV Gunfighter, not the (S)TECS: Availability: USA – end of July 2023 EU – on arrival of the sea shipment (already on the way); airlift option is also open; Australia, South Korea – shipments have already begun. While there is no "...

In answer to my own question(s): https://www.reddit.com/r/hotas/comments/153uu8o/vkb_hotas_phase_one/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1 Be prepared... this is a pretty long and extensive post, covering both the TECS/STECS and GF Mk IV. Some ...

Since I'm not planning on changing out my throttle for a fourth time in under a year, this is more of a question regarding the GF Mk IV: Is there any info out there yet re upgrades/changes to the gimbal, etc? Will there be grip compatibility between Mks III and IV? Meaning: If I bought a MCGU today ...

Thanks fallout!

I just contacted Anton - might also try Eduard later on, but let's see what happens.

Looks like one of the clamping screws on my throttle mount UCM-S just gave up the ghost. I'm not sure if it's the screw itself or that little square countering piece the screw threads into (or both), but I can't get the clamp to screw down any longer. Feels like the threads on one of the two parts (...

I'm not a banking expert but I'm pretty sure this would incur additional cost for currency conversion. Either for the customer or for VKB - and possibly for both parties. Plus I'm not even sure this is permissible for a business selling to EU customers from within the EU. At the end of the day, we'd...

Does next week batch include GFIII+MCGU with ENG labels? Cheers, I have the MCGP with RU labels and the Cyrillic lettering doesn't make one bit of difference to me. I would've gone with the EN version had it been available when I ordered, but during my 6 months of ownership, I never thought "d...

LOL! Hence my disclaimer about how the post was going to sound a little weird... :D I don't think it's a "sweaty" crotch per se, BTW... just the fact that the housing's steel is rather cold and then gets exposed to body heat. Pretty much the same as if I open my warm room's window when it'...

This may sound a little weird, and I've already discussed it with two VKB staffers (who also were a bit baffled by it), but it freaks me out a little, so I thought I'd ask around if anyone has experienced this too. Plus to get a reality check on my own theory of what's going on here: I've my Gunfigh...
