VKB-SIM

I'm also going dual sticks and pedals. It's the best way to fly space sims IMHO. I started out with a x53 stick + t16000m + saitek pro pedals but while it was awesome the quality was lacking. Currently I'm building up to my dream setup with two VKB grips + twist, crosswind pedals and possibly even a...

I changed my mind and instead of sending my pro parts back I bought them from VKB instead. I might not really have use for the extension right now but having it on felt so good that I might have to investigate ways to actually use it. I am planning on getting a pilot's license soonish so it might be...

I got one of the mislabeled packages so now I'm going to have to get to a post office to send all the pro parts back. On the plus side I got to test how the extension feels. And of course VKB will reimburse me for the shipping. Anyhow, the Gunfighter truly is a marvelous piece of kit. The feeling is...

As far as I understand they have moved the pinky switch in order to work with the brake lever. So now it's more of a middle finger or ring finger switch.

I have circled it here:

I fly the exact same setup in Elite. Although i have a cobra m5 instead of the gladiator. I find it wonderfully intuitive.

I'm going to get a pro base with either the fighterstick + twist or the kosmosim stick. My only problem is how many unused extensions and grips I have to get as well.

It would be awesome if pro base only was an option.

The slider has many other uses if you don't want it as a major control axis. In Elite you can use it to set sensor range and I'm sure there are a lot of other practical uses. Perhaps you could bind it as a power distributer so you have a quick way to shift power to engines and so on. For me a slider...

I'm in Europe and it seems to me like the american and Russian stores/websites are attractive active things while the European is stale and only shows old sticks that are more or less permanently out of stock. When I first started looking into VKB, the FSC site was what I found first and it seemed v...

I have no issue with different sticks in different hands. It could even be an advantage to have different types of buttons and axis. I'd like perhaps some dials, linear sliders and mode select buttons on the left and just hats and buttons on the right. I like to focus the right stick on targeting an...

This was more or less exactly what I wanted to hear. It felt like a good idea to me on the surface but I've never actually tried anything like it for real. For me the optimal design would be a D-handle with the axis in the center: like so D---(| The push/pull would have a slight detent and no return...

I use dual sticks and pedals. Right stick is a cobra m5. It controls pitch(Y), roll(X), yaw(Z) Left stick is a t16m controlling up/down(Y), left/right(X),change weapon (Z), and normal throttle (throttle) I have some saitek pedals that soon will be some mfg pedals controlling combat-throttle (forward...

I'm guessing that the wide stance base is removable if one wants the small footprint for a simpit or similar?

This probably isn't the place for this discussion but as someone who dearly wants twist I would have no issue with the twist being a module placed between the base and the stick. Having the twist lockable with some type of mechanism or bolt would not be an issue either.

Well it would be really nice to know if the gunfighter will get a twist grip, a modern grip and a lefty grip. There are several of us Spacesimmers that really want our buttons and twists. If I could get any confirmation that these are coming I'd probably try to get a gunfighter as soon as possible. ...

I would very much like to know this as well. I have been hearing conflicting rumors and I've read a lot of machine translated russian but I just can't find any hard information. With the gunfighter it seems that VKB has finally gotten it's act together with a truly modular quality system and if I ha...
