Hello everyone,

a few days ago I ordered my first ever VKB stick! Very excited (im still pretty new to all that HOTAS stuff).

I mostly play SpaceSims so Im wondering about this part:

Also we will later roll out FSMs for Commercial Aviation, WWII Piston Airplanes, Modern Combat Aviation, and Space Sims.


Can you provide more insights to what it will include, how it will look like or when it will release? Still planned for 2021?

Thanks!

Hey John, welcome to the VKB forums!

The part you quoted is as specific as you'll get :) To avoid failed expectations (presumably) VKB don't announce releases ahead of time. Let's just say, one day you'll be pleasantly surprised :D

The detent in this stick when crossing axis is overly aggressive, especially when running the #30 stiff spring. Is there any plans for a gimbal upgrade for the NXT that would alleviate this issue?

Since when axis separation is an issue? There will be upgrades coming for sure, but something that would make it feel like a TM round gimbal with a hole in the middle? Never.

Received my Gladiator NXT and love it, i've been playing DCS on both Helo and Jet modules, and this control is exactly what I wanted. Especially for Helo operations I swapped out the springs for the lighter ones and this thing is a dream.

Keep up the good work guys, and hope the throttle is as good.

I think we’d all settle for mostly as good and just as released.

I agree with snash, the passage from vertical to horizontal plane is very abrupt. There is nothing wrong with center-moving bases. I think that in this aspect the gladiator nxt should improve, please design a plugin to soften this effect.

Hi there.
I would like to know what a real airplane stick actually feels like - especially on WWII planes - the movement is how the nxt base simulates or is it a more fluid movement.
Greetings.?
