well, yes, we planned to open ordering in October but it appears that there is a delay with production run of Gunfighter rev. B. Therefore, it is now getting shifted to November. However, we plan to offer some limited amounts of Gunfighter rev.A next week.

This might be self-explanatory but I just want to be sure, I assume that both rev.B versions (Standard/Pro) will be on sale when it comes to the November sale?

Yes they will both come at the same time. November - hardly. As Ed mentioned, there would be a small rev.A shipment next week, but the Bs are coming later.

US (VKB North America) are taking pre-orders now showing availability on the 1st December 2017.

Do you have a time line for Europe please... everyone is asking what I want for Christmas

From the official community post you can read there:
https://flightsimcontrols.com/2017/11/arrival-of-t-rudder-mk-iv-and-gunfighter-rev-a/

You currently can buy the rev.A of the gunfighter nfor the rev.B
The sentence to keep in mind :

Short update about MCG / Gunfighter rev.B: ETA for EU market is March’18. Pre-ordering will be started in December.

Yes, I previously read that... but VKB US are advertising the complete GF VKB range being available from the 1st DEC 17... so is the MARCH 2018 still correct for EU?

Maybe EU market is being left until the US market is satisfied.... which would be a consideration in which way to proceed bearing in mind future availability and support.

The Gunfighter Rev.A can be preordered in the shop, but shouldnt he have been really available since 2 weeks? It seems, that Rev.A. got postboned too.

VKB US seems active on the info and sales front, EU a lot less so.. cant take the risk of
support being similar if there are issues. Need a high res stick, ordered one from another company at a similar price and currency.

Hi guys,
Gunfighter rev.B is being tested and polished to work properly with upcoming MCG. It has been communicated couple of times that February/March 2018 is a planned date for EU market. It is not changed so far. US market will receive Gunfighter rev.B and MCG about a month before as the shipment to end-customers is provided directly from our factory as there is no import tax in US. For Europe, we have to have the items in stock before shipping to the customer. So, we pay all import taxes first, save on bulk shipment, and then we could provide the best price and conditions for EU customers. Actually it worth waiting an extra month for majority of people.

We plan to open pre-ordering in December for MCG in order to allow all customer who bought joysticks with 5-pin connector (such as Black Mamba and Fat King Cobra) as well as rev.A Gunfighter and Gladiator Pro MkI-Mk.II to order MCG if they want to.

Gunfighter rev. B pre-orders will be opened in January.

Thanks for the reminder and update Eduard.

We are preparing a full container shipment to Europe. There will be more than enough devices to both satisfy the accumulated demand, and stock up the dealer's warehouse. So there is no need for pre-orders. Just wait a bit till the container arrives, and order through the dealer's site.
