VKB Black Mamba + Extension and Obutto Ozone?

Has anyone who owns a Obutto Ozone center-mounted a VKB Black Mamba + extension?
I am getting my Ozone tomorrow, and so far I haven't found any references regarding this scenario. Any help would be appreciated...

Re: Impeccable timing...

Although I doubt I will feel these grooves through the handle and extension, I will polish the cam before I use it. Yeah, you'll feel some of it ever so slightly through the handle, however, you won't feel it when the extension is used; at least that's how I experience it with my Mamba MkIII. PS: I...

Re: Please identify the various springs that came with my Mamba + Extension

Bourrinopathe, you always come through with valuable info. You should be in charge of the VKB documentation department. ;)

I wonder why VKB didn't toss a pamphlet like this into the box for us mere mortals to have?

Thanks again. I will keep this for future reference!

Please identify the various springs that came with my Mamba + Extension

Since there wasn't any description included, it would be nice if VKB could identify and label each set of springs based on the image attached by strength/stiffness.

Thank you!

Re: VKB-Sim T-Rudder MKIII vs. MKIV

And keep in mind - this is not to bash VKB; I am sure we all here want VKB to succeed so they can provide more awesome hardware for us. This is merely meant to be some feedback from the user-base and what we would like to see down the line in terms of support. :)

Re: VKB-Sim T-Rudder MKIII vs. MKIV

Goes a litter further than information; for instance, my Mamba came with an extension; however, there is no info as to which set of springs goes with that extension. Some instructions would be nice. These instructions should be provided as part of that info hub as well. A one-stop-shop to find a) ne...

Re: My VKB Black Mamba MkIII arrived today... Unboxing Pics!

:shock: Such an awesome looking stick! I ordered my Vintage BM back at the start of January, and after the recent wave of people receiving their Mk.IIIs I'm starting to get VERY impatient :lol: How are you finding the cam gimbal vs other gimbals on the market? How light is the spring force on the d...

Re: VKB-Sim T-Rudder MKIII vs. MKIV

Agreed. VKB needs some centralized, English-language based info-hub for all products, releases dates, and development updates. The question is - does VKB see the need for this as well? And if so, what are they trying to do about it?

Re: VKB-Sim T-Rudder MKIII vs. MKIV

Good info! Thanks!

Just one quick note - before this gets put out on more websites, please fix these little typos under #5 from "cylindric" to "cylindrical" , as well as under #6 from "realease" to "release". ;)

Re: Select Mamba Mk.IIIs arriving today.

Yes, but if you make a throttle, it's a really good idea to include an analog joystick on it, like on that one or on the CH Pro Throttle. Totally agree! Love that thumb-stick on my CH Pro throttle. VKB should consider one (or two) of those analog thumb-sticks as well for slewing TDCs, etc. when des...

Re: It's finally here!

Congratulations!

So, how does it feel? Are you planning to change cams and/or springs? What sim are you using it with? DCS perhaps?

Sorry, lot of questions, but I am excited for you as I am still waiting on my Mamba....

Re: Just a Thank you.

I'm in the same boat! VKB has always intrigued me when I saw pictures of their Mambas, and their scarcity makes them rather desirable. Now that my Mamba MkIII is shipping (hopefully really, really soon), and me already owning a set of the MkIII T-Rudders as well, my loyalty to VKB has been set in st...
