Gunfighter

[Troll]

Hi!
I already own a VKB Black Mamba with an extension and a TM adapter for my Warthog handle.
It's a great stick!
Is the gimbal of the Gunfighter similar to the Mambas? I.e. Does it use the "pinch" or maybe "cam" resistance?
Can I use the extension and adapter for the Mamba with the Gunfighter?

We've produced two version of Mamba, I need to identify your model. Can you please post photo of your joystick for identifying?
Gunfighter will have another gimbal, which is based on CAM.
After identifying your joystick, I will help you to get right choice for upgrade.

Hi again!

Here are a few pics of my Mamba. The handle in the pic is the original. I also included a pic of the gimbal and adapter.





If the Gunfighter has cam gimbal I will buy one!!!
I really like the Mamba. It's built like a tank! The only thing that could be improved is a smoother force transition around the center, which a cam will take care of
Doesn't hurt that it comes with a KG-13 handle either

Are there any pics available of the Gunfighter gimbal?

Please waiting for new official announcement, we need time for preparing information.

[Troll]

We haven't released any pics of the new gimbal yet. It's a trade secret we don't want to reveal until it is necessary.

And that statement didn't make it any more interesting...at all..!

Seriously, looking at the gimbal construction of the Mamba, I can imagine what they can accomplish with cams... Excited!!!

Edit:
Hi Daisy!
I guess you are the same contact I had at VKB when buying my Black Mamba? Thanks for your helpful support!

Wondering about the length of the controller - it doesn't seem long enough to be standing on the floor and reaching up to the pilot's hand; how should this be implemented?

[Troll]

Here's a pic of my Black Mamba, with the TM Warthog handle. It also has the smaller baseplate, that came with the stick. The entire stick is 46cm from baseplate to top of the handle.
I mounted it in my simpit on a 10cm wooden base, but the seat is also elevated 10cm, plus 7,5cm cushion, in the front.

Very nice. Thanks for your description. Interesting solution, too.

Sounds great! I want a gimbal upgrade and the KG12 handle, when they're ready!

[rrohde]

That's pure genius, @Troll!

Gimbal upgrade will have only limited quantity.
