mungo13 Posted August 11, 2019 Posted August 11, 2019 Reusing electronics and base, only deciding and trouble shooting the new plastic mold and how to wire the buttons up within existing limitations... I don't know how much simpler it can get when you're not ''making'' or ''innovating'' anything new. It's nearly 100% recycling. The biggest hurdle in the entire process would be prepping the production line. Weel I am quite sure that it did no take 7 years to debolestis to make his PCBs and shiftboards to be compatible with old Suncom F-15 grip (that is twin brother of the F-18's one) and make it TM base compatible. :D And he had to work with existing internal dimensions and mounting points
RUS38 Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 Been almost 2 years since the announcement and still no news. I wonder how in the world companies design and build a whole jet in less than 5 years.
VampireNZ Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 Been almost 2 years since the announcement and still no news. I wonder how in the world companies design and build a whole jet in less than 5 years. By using a LOT more people and resources! Vampire
Blatherman Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 What recent jet has been designed and built in less than 5 years?
WildBillKelsoe Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 so is this coming or abandoned? I have a bricked TMWH and I like your design. I don't think I want to invest time with TM.. AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.

I'm with you I need an new throttle also, trying to hold out for VKB throttle to go along with my Gunfighter. A little progress report would make the wait a little more bearable.

dburne Posted September 19, 2019 Posted September 19, 2019 So it is my understanding the new Virpil throttle has no idle/off detents is that correct?

dburne Posted September 19, 2019 Posted September 19, 2019 correct Thanks. I posed in the wrong forum, apologies - but will be looking forward to a VKB throttle someday with hopefully idle/off detents. Hope my Warthog throttle holds out till then.

Sokol1_br Posted September 20, 2019 Posted September 20, 2019 Correct, VPC throttle V3 don't came with any kind of detent. Then: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=249484
Eskay Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 Hi guys, i have gunfighter mk2 and i'm very happy, i would like to buy the throttle but i see that it does not appear.You know something about his status, since they take a long time to develop and other companies get the products faster and with more feedback. Thanks.

Thanks. You don’t have to read very far back in this thread to get your answer. No firm date for release. Likely to be a year away at least.
dburne Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Sure would be nice to have a new throttle with detents. Just sayin...

Sokol1_br Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 ... a new throttle with detents. Await VKB TECS - 2020 is close. ;) If plans have not changed should have detents - MiG-29 style.

HoneyBadger Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) Well, my Warthog throttle just died. If VKB wanna go ahead and release their throttle after this pandemic, that would be great. Edited March 26, 2020 by HoneyBadger

Foul Ole Ron Posted April 12, 2020 Posted April 12, 2020 Day one purchase for me. Whenever that day arrives. Likewise here. My X-55 is on it's last legs but hopefully it'll hang on for this throttle. I nearly went for the virpil throttle last week but would much prefer to get this one with the stronghold mounts so have the full VKB setup for stick and throttle.
streakeagle Posted May 17, 2020 Posted May 17, 2020 I don't NEED this throttle, but I didn't NEED any of the VKB sticks, grips, and adapter I have now, yet I bought all of it. My thought is that I will have two home pits: 1. US aircraft built around a Warthog/Hornet grip on a VKB GF3 base and TM Warthog throttle, but maybe the Winwing Hornet throttle. 2. Soviet/Russian aircraft built around MCG Pro grip on a VKB GF3 base and this throttle. I would want both to have the option to fly on a 2d monitor with TrackIR or VR as the situation requires. Now if only I knew someone locally who would enjoy flying with me instead of maintaining two systems for only one person. I will also end up with another home pit using all of my real F-4 hardware. Instead, I should make on pit where it is easy to swap out the left console with different throttles: Warthog, WinWing, and this one. The setup for the real F-4 throttle and stick is too heavy/bulky to be easily changed, so it requires a dedicated stick/seat/console setup. Decisions would be easier to make without time and money limitations. Of course, VKB helps make the decision by not releasing this throttle any time soon. No VKB throttle, no possibility of building a dedicated Soviet pit or a 2nd generic interchangeable pit to complement my current F-4 styled arrangement. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
AeroGator Posted May 18, 2020 Posted May 18, 2020 Guys we're quiet most of the time, but please believe we're reading all you're writing. Thanks for patience, thanks for the ideas, and even thanks for skepticism: it all goes into the pot. > Best Regards from VKB Lair, AeroGator
Davee Posted May 20, 2020 Posted May 20, 2020 1. US aircraft built around a Warthog/Hornet grip on a VKB GF3 base and TM Warthog throttle, but maybe the Winwing Hornet throttle. 2. Soviet/Russian aircraft built around MCG Pro grip on a VKB GF3 base and this throttle. My setup currently. WH Throttle is starting to get tired so looking for a replacement soon with new rudder pedals to boot.
BMGZ06 Posted June 14, 2020 Posted June 14, 2020 Please tell me that this entire setup is still planned to be released like this:) This is what I have been looking for.
