We'll list soon in store upgrade kits to RevC for compatible grips and full twist module on RevC, same as extensions and other extras.


Hi fallout9,

I appreciate you have already been very busy on this topic, so sorry to add further questions.

I managed to get a MCGU a few weeks ago after a while of waiting for stock, but it has the RevB adapter in the base as that was what was available at the time of ordering. I will be ordering a GF MkIV base for it once they are listed as available, but will the necessary RevC adapter be available at the same time, so that I can put a functioning joystick together? I have an Stecs Max currently on the way, and I'm really looking forward to getting flying with the top end kit, not that there is anything wrong with my Gladiator.

At the same time as getting the MCGU I bought the 100mm and 200mm extensions which are Rev B as well, so will there also be an option to upgrade these to Rev C?

Thanks for your time, much appreciated.

Please get in touch with the local vendor and find a way together so you could get a functional device. My suggestion would be to return the 2 extensions and get them both in RevC, get a new GFIV base and a new RevC connector for the grip.

That's a sensible idea, thank you. I will contact the EU sales centre with this request.

Kind regards.

Is there a timeline, when VKB will release the Ultimate series of STECS? I assume not in this year :)

Hi,
I wonder if I buy the f14 stick with the mk4 base if I have to change something or does the base recognizes the f14 flightstick automaticly ?

Hi. In the old TECS thread there was a picture of a throttle on sliders, as seen here: https://stormbirds.blog/wp-content/uplo ... jpg?w=2000 . Will this still be a thing? I'm waiting for a metal sliding throttle to go with my gunfighter.

It is on the list, but hard to say, when it will come. Not soon, safe to say.
Best Regards,
AeroGator
