Buckeye Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Oh wow. I was just about to pull the trigger on the MCG Pro w/extension haha, glad you guys using VKB! I was all set to either pick up a full Virpil MT-50 HOTAS by year end (once the throttle is released), or wait patiently for the Virpil/BRD partnership to announce their collaboration HOTAS (and pick it up assuming it'd be released within the next 6-8 months), and now I get this curve ball thrown my way from VKB... Back to the drawing board on trying to decide which direction I want to go to upgrade my TMWH.

remon Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Does that mean that they will support Europe better than they do now? You really can't buy anything of theirs here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punk Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I am confused by all of the excitement. Is it that they are going to make an F-14 grip or that they set up the US website to buy their products from? (I am guessing it is a new site based on a snarky comment on the EU site fishing for new info. Based on those replies, I don't see how it could be the first item then... more confused than ever) And, why do they have like a half dozen different choices for what looks like the same exact grip? Can someone help an idiot out with all this stuff? Punk [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VampireNZ Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Can someone help an idiot out with all this stuff? You're not the only one - Do we cancel our current MCG pre-orders in hope of a new F-14 Grip? Does it just mean HB are now using VKB gear in general? While I understand the usual 'choo-choo all aboard the hype-train" tease pictures that are seemingly compulsory these days - they do make simple practical decision making a little trickier than it needs to be.

Cobra847 Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 There will be exact specs soon, but for now you can assume that is a Grip by VKB with their standard set of features (+ some changes to make the F-14 stick better for simmers in general!) Totally subject to change however, hence just a teaser for now! Don't flog me before anything is officially announced (and thus set in stone feature wise) More information will be released by us and VKB once we get closer to release. :) VKB hardware tends to be compatible with the WH base. :) Nicholas Dackard Founder & Lead Artist Heatblur Simulations https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaron886 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 This is awesome news for a huge VKB supporter. If they proceed like they have with MCG and create TM and GF versions, the response will be really great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaceFuel85 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 You guys are awesome, plain and simple. Question.. VKB mentions their throttles will also have switchable grips.. Might a Tomcat throttle be in the cards too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
