Hi guys, as rrohde made a poll question for US/Canada and Europe has noone, I just wanted to know how many guys in Europe consider buying a Gunfighter.
So here it is!

I hope you don't mind my copy rrohde :)
Credits to you.

For the pictures and rrohde 's poll for US/Canada see viewtopic.php?f=28&t=2435

I'm going to get a pro base with either the fighterstick + twist or the kosmosim stick. My only problem is how many unused extensions and grips I have to get as well.

It would be awesome if pro base only was an option.

Yep, im waiting for the ECP too :)

Hope it will be quite modular and with MaRS sensors and come in time with the Gunfighter.

If not, you might be able to use your old Joystick, if you have one and it has a throttle on it.

My thoughts are to use Gunfighter with Hotas.X throttle... at least until VKB come out with their own. Otherwise no real good alternatives apart from TM Warthog TQ.

Been waiting what, like a year for this. Getting closer.

About the throttle, we'll see - if VIRPILS looks good, I may go that route, I really want a thumbstick on my throttle. If VKB's throttle isn't out when theirs is, I will probably go for that (assuming people say build quality is okay for VIRPIL). If VKB throttle has some pictures and a release date, I may be tempted to wait, it's always nice to have matching gear.

Yes, the VKB Gunfighter Pro (with extension) and if possible with the metal KG12 grip. Without the "vanilla" grip cause I won't need it anymore.

Gunfighters for EU will be shipped at the same time with the United States. But shipping to Europe by sea takes more time.

Hello kosta,

Gunfighter joysticks (as well as Gladiator Pro Mk.II) will be listed on EU website with actual price and ordering will be open when we know all costs involved. We try to keep as low retail price as possible so we have no buffer in price. As soon as we know all costs involved (EUR/USD rate, transportation cost) the final price will be calculated and the ordering will be possible.

Best regards,
Eduard
VKB FSC Europe

Eduard, understood.
I'm just angry that we in EU always have to wait way longer than US or other countries to receive stuff. On top of that, it's also often more expensive (generally).
I certainly respect what you wrote, though. Thanks.

Ah, no point in drooling, just more work to clean it up.
