rrohde Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Sokol1 (thank you) posted this on the SimHQ forums... figure it might be interesting for everyone here as well. Seems as if this is an initial design idea of the first VKB stand-alone throttle quadrant: Sign me up for this one! :thumbup: PC: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X | MSI Suprim GeForce 3090 TI | ASUS Prime X570-P | 128GB DDR4 3600 RAM | 2TB Samsung 870 EVO SSD | Win10 Pro 64bit Gear: HP Reverb G2 | JetPad FSE | VKB Gunfighter Pro Mk.III w/ MCG Ultimate VKBcontrollers.com
1.JaVA_Platypus Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Didn't they want to make a throttle resembling the Saitek X36 or something? Happy Flying! :pilotfly:
rrohde Posted February 22, 2016 Author Posted February 22, 2016 Not sure what you're referring to, Platypus; maybe this thingy here: https://flightsimcontrols.com/store/joysticks/gametrix-ecs-throttle/ <<< if so, that's been on the market for some time already... The one shown above seems to be leaps and bounds ahead - judging by VKB's quality design features. Guess they're shooting for a WW2 design with that one.

1.JaVA_Platypus Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Yes, that was the one I meant. I guess they want to go WWII in their latest products. Too bad everything they have is sold out all the time. Happy Flying! :pilotfly:
pepin1234 Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 I though they want a modular philosophy for all the product range. I see there a non interchangeable throttle lever [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Sokol1_br Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) This ECS throttle was a low cost standalone throttle option developed - controller and sensors - by VKB years ago for Gametrix (Russia/CIS market hardware distributor). To maintain cost low Chinese industry reuse old Saitek X-36 molds. Molds are the most expensive part in joystick project. Is not a VKB product. This sketch* show something of what was said about their first throttle: "The first model will be stylized throttle of WWII aircraft . This is not a copy of the (real) throttle. Design style close to the Fw-190 and Mustang." * Supposedly one of his commercial partners forbid show pictures of unfinished products. I like, I want adjust mixture, prop pitch, radiators of this planes with levers, not with "HAT corners". :) Edited February 23, 2016 by Sokol1_br

But don't tell me that you haven't made something like that yourself allready!!! :pilotfly: Happy Flying! :pilotfly:
