I will be getting this grip, but bring on the AH-64 Prime grip also.

Waiting for Virpil or VKB. That's their next stop most likely. Not fond of the plywood base and exposed gears and belts.

I'm wondering if they are not only working on the collective, but some sort of native counter balancing solution for it, which the counter balancing has been a common complaint. Or perhaps a new collective base version altogether? I'm 100% speculating here.

When I execute the "release" version aka v2.32 of "SimShakerSoundModule.exe", the process is resident in the Windows Task Manager, but the system tray icon doesn't appear, so I can't bring up the UI for the SimShaker Sound Module to select the sound card and test effects, etc. Any idea what the culprit may be?

I'm more curious about the Gunfighter IV since there has not been prior information on it.

May want to wait. Gunfighter IV inbound. News later this week and TECS details as well.

I like the MFG's the best from an all around standpoint. I have the MFG for almost a decade now and still no mechanical or electrical issues. Also, lots of replacement parts available on their site including the key circuit board and they don't stop production for awhile or abandon a model entirely for an entirely different design.

Have you actually used it and if so, is it making use of all of the telemetry in DCS and IL2? It seems more race sim focused based on the software options for the respective genres, so was curious.

Were you using Next Level Racing's software that's in its infant stages or SimShaker for Aviators and SimShaker for Wings, which are far more tuned for flight sims? I can certainly understand the comfort issue though.

The VKB F-14 doesn't have a locking mechanism for the twist, so it doesn't move? Granted, I prefer it not have a twist option in the first place, but I am curious.

Before the stuff hit the fan from the holidays, I was able to get Virpil gear in the US in about 7 to 10 days from the time of ordering. Hopefully they can get back to that soon.

It looks like The Noobifier in his latest video on YouTube has his hands on one for an upcoming review. It was a very subtle glimpse of it, but clearly was not the current CM2 base. And the video is a real chopper pilot testing out DCS and using it, but making no mention of it being the new base.

I wonder if they found a way to do a combo dry clutch and force sensing base where you can use one or the other. And since they were exclusively showing the F-16, I wonder if they are finally going to do an F-16 grip? I'm looking forward to this as I haven't had a new VirPil creation since control panel 3. And by the time this releases, I might be buying it from their U.S. store. Finally, teasers are evil.

Thanks dburne for the update. Now we are really in trouble!

I have the plus. I knew going in that the throttle aspect is largely worthless given its limited use, but I liked the look of it. I have been using the left Alpha grip on it the whole time. Not sure why some seem to have the issue and others don't and I certainly wouldn't tolerate sticktion.
