I was referring to the different versions of the FSM. There was said to be versions for modern combat, space sim etc

The one in the picture is not the final version. The updated version will be presented as soon as the launch is close.

Is the plan for these to have just three categories - space, general aviation, and modern era jets? I would really like to see something that is more focused on the Second World War era.

Actually the modules are universal, not dedicated to a certain genre - all games need lots of buttons and extra axes.
There are also some extras in works, some that would really excite the warbirds lovers.

I gotta be honest here. My X56 is falling apart.

Ghosting inputs are a massive issue, and this is only like 2 years old.

I think at this point I give them till the new year to make the release. Otherwise Ill be forced to go with Winwing or the other dreaded "V" Which I desperately want to avoid because I dont think theyre worth the price at all. But I'm slowly losing faith to keep waiting.

My next throttle is my last. I hope VKB can come together in time. I'd, love to pair it with the MCG Ultimate I got. But my hardware is failing faster than I hoped.

But ive reached a time limit here....

Heres to hoping.....

Don't even bother asking. For years we've asked this question and never gotten a straight answer.

You just get a bunch of guys fanboying a company saying that not answering the most basic of questions of the general idea of when to expect the product to be released, is not only okay, but desirable, and you're the asshole for asking.

The only way to make a company understand customers is to not be silent and continue to ask/request and demand.
Or just switch to a competitors
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i'm sure I'm automatically a "fanboy" by replying to that, if you're that angry. But I don't think I've seen many say either its OK or desirable. It just is what it is. I'm posting what info I can find when I find it periodically, last being just last month. (No - still know known date for the release of the first of these.)

They pre-announced this one way to early, unquestionably. Even they have agreed to that all over the place. They've since changed their approach to only announcing when ready for first lot orders, to NOT compound that mistake for other products. (Desirable? I don't know. It's a legitimate business choice, and they have explained their reasons: copying and ...um....angst just like yours.) For this product....unfortunately the early decision keeps giving. I was one of those who (wrongly) predicted we'd not hear anything again before even THIS thread was released. They apparently did decide to 'cut the baby in half', both to let people know that one had become three and to try and show good faith. And here we are again, No acknowledgement that the origination of this thread was the olive branch, instead ranting that we haven't had info "for years". "All year" would be pretty accurate, the rest is just foot stompy.

One thing for sure, posts like yours will only reinforce their desire to not make the original early pre-release decision again. (Although they almost have, hinting earlier this year that the GNX side-panel add-ons would be available soon, which hasn't happened, which tells me that supply chain issues and delays of dealing with off-site ramp-up did get complicated on them more recently, again.)

Now, explain to me how I've been a "fanboy". Or don't, I don't really care that much. I do however like to call out B.S. when I see it (which also isn't helping anything, I know.)
