VKB-SIM

Think it's time to move on.

Quick update.

Err ... Guys ... I do recommend to you all to take a look at the VKB YouTube channel...

I was expecting something a bit more substantial than that.

I agree with Luke, it looks like something hastily cobbled together (with a nice layout) following the dissatisfaction of customers who are tired of waiting, because you feel that playing for time is no longer enough.

I'm not sure it's enough to keep us waiting if we need to change the throttle.

I hope we'll have more sooner.

C'mon guys ... The spirit of the vídeo do recognise the "long waiting" of the community and pass the message of a "almost done job". And was a creative way to do that.

I thought it was a commercial for dancing shoes...
Not impressed by any of it.

Not much of an update on TECS to be honest. No more information than we already had and the unit in the video looks a lot like the last prototype that we were shown. This is about as much of an update as a post on here saying "We're still working on it".

Not an update at all. If that was the intended message I'd suggest a change in your marketing division. The dancing was lovely but the video did nothing to fill anyone with anticipation for a release of TECS (or whatever you were pitching there). Four minutes of the tango and 15 secs of a guy tinkering with some throttle? What the heck was that? Getting a cervical injury from shaking my head over here! It's been too many years now. Release the thing. Or don't release it. If you're gonna release it.. Then announce you're releasing it. If you're not.. Then announce that. Stop wth this endless, and at this point it is, "look.. We're working on it". It's rather insulting at this point.

Well, at least they've let us see some of the new throttle. What I liked least is that there are few controls on the back of the handle, no analog mini-joystick and no paddles for a lateral strafe. Hopefully this will change in the future.

I think the goal of that video is only some damage control against the mood on the forum which is not fine.

What we can see from the reactions to the video is that it fails to reassure. Doubts persist.

The MMXXII at the beginning is the roman number for 2022. If that means something

If I’m honest, it looked more like the GNX, than a high end throttle to me.

I LOVE my GF III with ultimate grip, but no way in h###, am I paying premium price for what they, fleetingly, showed in the video.

Has anyone figured out how the "front side detent" is supposed to be activated. I understand easily the back side finger lift ( like winwing/virpil throttle), but this front side concept remains a mistery ???

Ok ... Speculation time ... So. This means that the piece will have two "main" modules? I mean, not the GNX ones we already knew, but the actual throttle and the module below, were we can see the "connection"?
