Introducing the VKB-Sim Gunfighter

[MK84]

Works.

 

Thanks.

This one may seem a little weird, but just to be sure ...

 

Bearing the warning to only tighten the dry clutch screws to "finger tightness" in mind, are there any long implications to have a relatively strong dry clutch friction? E.g., is there more wear/stress on the components, requiring, e.g., replacement of the nylon collars or other parts sooner rather than later in the future?

 

Confirmed by VKB HQ - no need to worry. :)

Does TMS long etc work with the Warthog adapter ?

Yes,

TMS long and short work, you just have to re-porgram/re map a couple of buttons, but they all work great :thumbup:

when can we have the throttle for modern jet and metal MCG grip?

Difficult to answer. For the TCS (Throttle Control System), VKB HQ told me it has the highest priority after the initial release of the MCG grip variants. I cannot say anything about the metal replica version of the MCG at this time - as VKB HQ hasn't shared anything concrete about this.

Thanks switch pigs on my part

FYI - those of you who ordered VKB Gunfighters should have gotten tracking numbers this morning - all GF orders have been shipped from VKB HQ.

[microvax]

Being and EU customer is hard... :}

[DEChengst]

Yep. Site still says it should ship today. Still haven't received a tracking ID though. Only positive thing is that I live in The Netherlands and I should have it pretty quick after it ships. Standard shipping time is one day with delivery of package on Tuesday through Saturday.

My Gunfighter-Pro recently arrived and I felt compelled to write a quick review on my initial thoughts - can be seen here.

I also designed and manufactured a mounting bracket for my Obutto Ozone rig if anyone might be interested in some plans to give your local engineering firm to whip one up for you.

I wonder if VKB has some intermediate length stick extension planned (around 8 cm). The one sold currently is longer and looking at the photos, requires a floor mount and lots of space for stick deflection.

As far as I know, there is currently no other stick extension planned besides the 200mm one already out there for the Gunfighter.

Hi Rainer! I've received mine a few days ago and just wondering if those two screws that hold down the dust cover are still an issue with this second batch of gunfighters. Should I loosen it a bit? Just by looking I couldn't find what could be the problem that was mentioned before. BTW my short first time impression is there as well. Thanks

Is it just me or european customers seem to be the third wheel of The VKB market ? Pretty odd.

That was only with the first batch of Gunfighters. All subsequent production runs have the corrected M3*6mm screws.

 

EDIT: ... and thank you for that write up and pics! :)

Already in Europe.

Need a few days for customs clearance.

Yeah - waiting is never fun, but the good thing is that the MCG is under production, and the throttle is in development. :)

[*Rage*]

Pics of throttle please:)

I've seen the latest renders - but I am not allowed to share them publically. It's going to be great to have a full VKB-made HOTAS later this year (fingers crossed).

Any word on when we will be able to place orders for the new grip?
