Two questions about one of the second wave accessory,
Does the accessory for customise our Gladiators NXT to horizontal position (for Hosas system #space-sim) will be able to lock X axis to use it just for throttle in flight sim
And does will be existing for right Hand Joystick ( i'm a lefty guy) ?
Thx

No axis lock and left hand only, at least at launch. Sorry for the bad news :(

Because we didn't care to send the modules to the "influencers".
Will do but a bit later.


losing out on a lot of business by doing that. your videos on you-tube don't show us anything on the quality of the build or the ergonomics. and not for nothing but you should be worrying very much about what your consumers (the people on this forum begging for updates after 5 years) think. the bad news is the Orion was on sale for less than what 2 of the sem's and a nxt stick would cost. i would love to be able to make an informed decision if the extra cost is worth it but i cant because you didnt "care" what influencers think even when they literally are there to influence people to buy your product.

They're only losing out on business if they have extra stock to move. Given how supply chains are right now, if they're selling stuff as fast as they can make it, there would basically be no point to them trying to advertise or promote their products - it would add demand that they can't meet.

Will the throttle adapter allow for twist function? I'm hoping to still be able to twist the stick "up and down" to utilize vertical thrusters.

Thx VKB for the Right hand version i'm so happy, i will command my second Gladiator NXT + Omni Throttle Adapter
when it will be dispo in European Shop !!!

Just a little question, in us Shop you propose the OTA preinstaller

"VKB’s GNX Omnidirectional Throttle is based on the Gladiator NXT series of joysticks. It ships with a Gladiator NXT base, choice of SCG Premium Left or Right Grip, and a preinstalled Omni Throttle Adapter (OTA)."

if we command this version is it possible to reverse easily the NXT to normal vertical use, or is this better to buy NXT + OTA separatly to shoes easily after differents long hours tests ?

The way it works is this: the classic Gladiator NXT comes with regular, straight tail/twist adapter and costs $150. The OTA Gladiator NXT comes with the extension and does not include the straight tail/twist adapter!!! (the OTA has its own twist adapter).
If you want both straight tail and OTA you could either order the Gladiator NXT plus the OTA ($150+$30) or the OTA Gladiator NXT plus the straight tail/twist adapter ($160+$20).

Wait you can buy the connection for a Kosmosima?!

I have a spare right Kosmosima does that mean I can buy a gladiator base(gnx?) and an adapter connection to create a complete nxt?

Of course, you'll need either this or this. The Gladiator NXT base is not posted on the websites, but send an email to your local vendor and they'll create a custom order for you.

What is the noticeable separation between the X and Y axes?
So if I want to use X and Y for strafe left/right and Throttle forward/back.....could there be conflicts because the construction is too soft?
I absolutely love this build! However, I am still unsure. The twist axis would be perfect for strafe up/down but the differentiation between X and Y axis worries me a little. I hope you understand what I mean.

I'm waiting for the omni throttle adapter since the day you tease it.
I'm glad the wait is nearly over :D
Still, I'm not sure how I am going to use it... like Stonehenge mention it earlier...
Should we put the throttle on the Y axis or the twist axis ?
We'll have to try it for real I guess!

Can we remove the spring that maintain the grip centered on the axis we put the throttle (whatever that axis is, Y or twist) ?
Is it desirable, or even doable ?

If you think the axes separation would become a bit softer with the extension then you're right and it's normal for any base to act like that. Now how much softer, that depends on one's preferences and hand training.
