VKB-SIM

Hello,

New here and considering one of your products: Gladiator Pro Mk.II or the upcoming Gunfighter.

I am looking for a joystick for E:D and flight simulator.

One of the top priorities is center-precision. I hear Gladiator has a very good, soft center... does Gunfighter have the same?

Also how about some grips with more buttons/hat-switches..., are they coming?
Something like Warthog stick on top of a Gunfighter base...

I am also a bit disappointed about the delay for Europe (Gladiator Pro Mk.II generally available, but not in Europe...). It's not like we're at the end of the world...

Thanks
Kosta

The Gunfighter will come with an enhanced gimbal that includes dry clutches to adjust the friction. The Gladiator Mk.II does not.

Future VKB grips (with more buttons) will be available for both the Gladiator Pros and the Gunfighter when the time comes.

What is adjusting friction good for?

If Gunfighter is in all aspects better, then I'll get it as the price justifies that, so sign me up.

Makes the movement of the stick across the axes feel "heavier"; with enough friction added, you could even let go of the stick and it stays put. Stuff like that.

Nice! Looking forward to it then.
The only bad thing is not having ANY kind of throttle, with it or for it. Maybe buy HOTAS.X and use the TQ lol...
VKB should release a throttle too, any info on that?

So how long until EU gets the Gunfighter...? Daisy just forwarded my inquiry to EU, which I already previously contacted... kinda useless...

Throttle is in the design phase. No ETA, but definitively coming; maybe more news on the throttle Q2 or Q3 2017.

The worldwide release (or shipping time frame) is March 2017 for the Gunfighter series of controllers - last time I checked with VKB HQ.
