This older post might help. IIRC, the MKIV shares the exact same gimbal extrusion as MKIII back to MKI. This won't have the top holes for access to the new tension adjustment, but it's something. EDIT - the actual bloody LINK might help. :eyeroll: http://forum.vkb-sim.pro/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=33...

I know you can't give dates or progress reports. Can you just say if linear axis STECS base with electronic detent is still intended for eventual release? I'm well served by a LH lateral Kosmo Prem. But I'd ADD a linear throttle as a further option, because First World Choices! A rotary axis one isn...

If former patterns are to be trusted they'll make official announcement on their own forum here, which will be mirrored on the US retailer site, and very quickly found and posted to Reddit (if not officially reposted there) and Discord. Me, I'm still hoping for the STECS Mk II (electronic detente an...

From what I've seen, the Conversion Kits are available in the US but not in the EU. I'm unfortunately stuck with the GF Modern Combat Ultimate Stick because i couldn't afford to buy both at the same time, while shortly after the purchase the Mk. IV was announced :/ . Seeing that you can maybe use s...

Hello all, first post. I just received my STECS, replacing a TM T1600 throttle. I'm trying to map the buttons in Elite Dangerous, and quite a few buttons are not recognized. All four buttons on the front of the throttle, and two on the right side, so far. Would you know how to get the game to recog...

No one should wait on any company's product, if you have a need and the means now. Especially in a niche field where resale at 65-75% of original purchase price is a thing. As long as you're not buying bargain basement, you really can't go too far in the hole. That said, I wonder if I'm jinxing thin...

Ahh, bummer. I was really hoping I could help. It was pretty subtle in my case, just some black grains maybe a bit bigger than dust, but could barely feel with a finger. I used a cotton ball with a little isopropyl wetting it to rub them off, so I could see they were caught in the cotton (as magneti...

Hello, the issue still is there. When i open the base its fixed for a couple of weeks, then its coming back. I tried wiggle the cables but nothing there. Its really a shame. I was satisfied with the quality but yea. I have a squadron mate who had the exact same issue. He now switched to winwing sin...

Electrical detent has only been discussed as one of the advanced features of the TECS throttle, both a higher-grade arc version (after the initial arc) and the eventual rail version.

No one knows when TECS will truly land but VKB, however.

I think he answered that in another post - makes the screw easier to turn for the user, so tradeoff between ease of installation at slight cost of possible tightness, or at least no advantage to possible tightness. ...But this is a joystick, and not the lower belt of the floor truss, on the strength...

There is a simple rule for bolts and growers - if the bolt is in tension, break - the grower is not installed, it is prohibited. If the bolt is shearing, a grover is placed to prevent the nut from unwinding. We have the first case. I think he's saying if a bolt is being used "in tension" ...

I think they have learned from it - not to give any prior warning of what's about to come until it's virtually ready to be in stock and for sale. This is the only thing they still occasionally tease, because people still beat them up for that very first mistake, and claim they just want to know anyt...

Yeah, SWHMO seems to have a sixth sense seeing thru those... (not the original poster mentioning it, just commenting from my own experience). Buy her something first, or support her in something first. (Not trying to make my wife sound either mercenary or selfish - we all like nice things/treatment.)

With two more years of development, I expected more. There are plenty of youtube videos of folks making an arc based throttle using a raspberry pi board and their 3d printer. There is nothing novel in producing the same thing everyone else has. VKB already has good buttons, good plastic molds, and ...

The last formal update -- first post in this very thread -- was that there would be arc quadrant first (with and without electronic detentes) then the linear rail. It is still coming according to everything they've said to date.

Kids these days....
