og_wolf Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 VKB posted on thier forum Hello all, Finally, I am happy to announce that new VKB products are on their way to EU store. It took extra time as our manufacturing department had to spend additional efforts to improve durability of MCG grips based on the feedback we got from early customers. Now, the batch for EU is fully completed, tested and on its way to Rotterdam, NL. It will take several weeks to arrive to the Netherlands and get cleared. So the shipping will be started in April. Sorry for delay for one month but it was required to improve quality of our products. What we will offer for EU customers: Gunfighter Mk.II Pro/non-Pro with MCG Pro/non-Pro grip with En/Ru engravings Gunfighter Mk.II KG12 T-Rudder Mk.IV Basically we are going to offer the full range of Gunfighter Mk.II line. We never start accepting orders for new products if availability date may slip and could not be secured. As we have now concrete dates for availability of items in stock, I am going to open the ordering. In order to do so, the website will be migrated to the new platform these days so please expect that the website will be closed for couple of days. Best regards, Eduard http://forum.vkb-sim.pro/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=3062 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaron886 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Wonder if these durability improved parts will be available for purchase separately for mk1 and 2... Honestly I would expect them to be offered for free, or at most for the cost of shipping. That was a very expensive joystick grip to have issues with loose screws and wiggling connections.

That was a very expensive joystick grip to have issues with loose screws and wiggling connections. I didn`t have any problems with the mechanics of my Gunfighter Pro so far. But if there are reported problems, I agree with you. That should be a free upgrade for us customers.

Bearfoot Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Hi, What are these durability improvements, or, to put it another way, what are the durability problems that the first round of buyers are facing or going to be facing? What should we be careful about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sokol1_br Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Probable addressing the (loose) screw issues of some MCG units. VKB-EU say in their forum: "It is not parts, it is just improvement of assembly technic and materials" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearfoot Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Thanks, Sokol1. Frankly, I would like to see: (a) An official advisory/communication regarding this, with specific details on what the issues are, symptoms, and mitigation measures and (b) A notice on what we (early adopters/buyers) can or should do should any problems arise associated with these "durability" issues arise, including whether we are covered by warranty, honor, or whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sokol1_br Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 New option for set buttons in MCG brake lever in firmware 1.93C - Beta. Simplified settings for converting brake axis brake into buttons. In much the same way as the trigger settings (trigger) - two buttons on the edges ( Low Limit / High Limit ), one button - on the level (the slider, 7 positions) are activated at will . The choice of logical buttons is completely analogous to the trigger. Well, the binding to a certain axis (by default VC = 1, AxisN = 8). By default, the MCG Brake structure is disabled.

Berniyh Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Yeah, communication seems to be a problem with VKB. I desperately want to purchase the VKB pedals, because they are the only ones that fit my rig (max width of 435mm for the pedals), but it seems to be impossible. I thought about getting the MCG+Gunfighter as well, but reading here, I think going VPC might be the better idea. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, x-plane.org ships from the US, already checked that. But with shipping and tax it'll be quite a bit more than on flightsimcontrols (which I think was 239€).
