Moving to VKB - Experienced Advice Requested

Postby Pythoe » Fri May 27, 2022 19:38

Greetings!

I have been doing some research and have decided to move to VKB products. I believe I have the list of items needed to accomplish my build, but as this will be my first large purchase towards a module setup I just want to make sure I have everything I need to simply replace my left and right TM sticks.

Left Hand:
Gladiator NXT EVO Omni Throttle - SCG Premium-Left
UCM-S GL

Right Hand:
Gunfighter 'Space Combat Edition' - Gunfighter Pro-S / SCG Premium-Right
UCM-S GF

I'd also like to mount 'vertically' the GNX SEM-V on the left hand UCM-S GL and wasn't sure if that was possible or not, and if it was, do I need any additional accessories.

Appreciate any assistance and clarification!

Hi there,

Your list looks great, except of 2 issues:
- Extensions are not great for side sticks (unless you have very long arms); if you plan to use the right hand joystick in center position, then the extension makes sense though.
- At this time the only way to install a NXT module on the UCM mounting system is if you're willing to drill 2 holes in one of the plates (it's aluminum, so doesn't take special effort) and slap the module on that using two M3 bolts; the NXT module to UCM system hardware is still under works.

Thank you for the information!

In conclusion I guess I see where the -S brings the 100mm extension in.

I should be getting the Gunfighter Tabletop, etc.
