Twist Adapter ETA?

[rtrski]

I haven't seen a single post defending the delay stating that it's prefferable. Everybody wants the adapter *yesterday*, myself included. We would all have possibly made different sets of decisions if it were available sooner. I changed my plans with a LH Kosmosima versus TECS remaining in development. I think Ron's post was pretty accurate.

I do however see a difference between people who need to advertise their displeasure and make grandiose claims of corporate failure vs. those who are disappointed but persevere by just pinging for updates without whining about it (or just quietly make a decision and move on). As much as I share part of your opinion, your post does strike me as something of a tantrum, throwing "fanboy" around...

I presume this post falls in the category of those abusing you. Whatever. I hope in the end you are happy with whatever equipment you end up with, including possibly still VKB or not.

Pub philosophy aside ... Ping ... update time VKB.

What's happening with the Twist Adaptor? @Eduard? @Aerogator?

Then I'll say something about that. . .

We Germans are generally very patient. We usually have no problem waiting at all. . . if we know why

So please tell us what the problem is. Like you're just a three-man operation? Or are there problems with the production? Or delivery bottlenecks????

Please don't let us grope in the dark. For my part, I just want to be sure. By the way, the same with the throttle

Hey man, the fanboy comment is due to trying to have a civil conversation with others but just being abused for asking questions - there is an air to it in this thread but not as bad as others.

I do hope they do something soon - the silence from them is deafening (as is the we have been on holiday, or sick or away etc). That is the crux of it..

None of the above. The adapters are practically ready.
Now, what is practically ready? - Like, the desk mounts are ready (without practically) - which means, as I had explained some time ago, that they are sitting in storage just waiting for export papers to be done, and package cartons to be arranged.
But even in this state the mounts had to sit in storage for a couple of weeks not going anywhere.
Big news is that yesterday the first testers received their mounts _and_ upgrade kits for Gunfighter3.
OK, back to adapters. They are practically ready which means that they are made and undergoing tests. After which they will (see above) sit in storage waiting for export papers, etc. And after that they will be sent to testers, and after that to end users.

Please don't let us grope in the dark. For my part, I just want to be sure.

Nope we (me personally) have already said a few times at a few forums that the adapters are now topping our list, they are on the finishing straight line to the customers. Nothing else to say, then why say anything else. When they get export-ready and packed we will put them up in shops globally, that's it.

By the way, the same with the throttle

Throttle? We never said it would be ready by any certain date. We are working on it. And will be working till we are sure it is the best throttle in creation
We want it to happen sooner rather than later but there are no shortcuts in this business, unfortunately.

Thank you for sane and reasonable attitude, we appreciate it!

@Aerogator?

At your service, Sir see my comment above.

I think it'll be quicker to sell my MCG Pro and buy a Virpil Constellation Alpha when it's released - at least they provide updates and timetables including delays!

[Stonehenge]

Thank you very much for this very informative answer @AeroGator

That's exactly what I wanted. Now my conscience is calm and I am happy to wait a while It would be great if it continues this way in the future

@Aerogator?

Many thanks Aerogator, much appreciated.

Came in to check status, got some good news!

Now that the twist adapters are being manufactured which means the design is locked in, could you post how much they add to the height of an MCG Pro when they're installed? Thx.

The twist adapter will add 6-7 mm to the height of the grip.
