mdee Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I like the latest version better when will I be able to get it? Probably at the same time when VR finger controls become reliable. My guess sometime between 2025 and 2035. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StandingCow Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Should I wait this one or get warthog throttle? Don't think anyone can answer that... we can see they are making progress with test units but no final design yet. 5900X - 32 GB 3600 RAM - 1080TI My Twitch Channel ~Moo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fusedspine33 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 MDee I see you may not be aware of this thread for VR controllers. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=218861&page=25 Eabile if you are ready to buy now The warthog is available, this is a ways off. No one hopes VKB or Virpil will provide meaningful competition to the TM monopoly more than me, but until both have a robust manufacturing and distribution pipeline they are hit or miss on availability of product.

ebabil Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 That's sad. I really would like to get an universal throttle than a-10 specific one.

Sokol1_br Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Should I wait this one or get warthog throttle? Depends on you urgency, but if buy Warthog throttle now, is highly probable that warranty expires before you be able to buy TECS. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatherman Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I did a search but didn't see any definitive answer...has the size of the throttle body and the position of the mounting holes been finalized? I'm looking to order a set of stick and throttle mounts, and would like to be able to specify the mounting hole location...would be great if it were compatible with warthog throttle holes!

PabstBleuRibbon Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 from the IL2 forums thread posted earlier in this thread: (google translate version) "If you push off from the usual practice - no earlier than the end of this year, in an optimistic layout. Certainly no sales in the summer, it is simply unrealistic." So next year. 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBStu Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 This thread started 12/31/17 and it is still not in production. I have a Gladiator stick from another SIM store, the top button died after 3 months. That store hasn't responded to 2 email and a phone message. I saw on the VKB website that the grip is listed for $45 but none available as is the case for most of their offerings. I doubt I will buy any more VKB stuff.

Have you tried to contact VKB directly? Uh no. Why? Read the last line in this. "Support To open a support ticket for hardware related issues* for a VKB product purchased at VKBcontrollers.com, go to your “My Account” dashboard, click “Orders”, and then click “Get Help” next to the respective product. Here’s a direct link to your Orders page. View current ticket(s) from your Dashboard here. *For software, firmware, or button-assignment related issues and questions, please use the official VKB Support forums instead (VKB developers and knowledgeable community are able to help).

I see that my stick is the only one currently available (of the six models they sell) but , if I were to buy another, I would want to upgrade to the next better model...oops, not available.

Fusedspine33 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 It’s still may be worthwhile to send an email for part, service or both. The worst they can do is say no. It would be interesting to see the company response posted here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rrohde Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Uh no. Why? VKB officially offers a Technical Support forum... why not use that to get official VKB support if the third-party vendor doesn't answer you? That's always a good choice as that forum is monitored by VKB engineers and developers and they usually have excellent insights.

The thread has a common thought and it isn’t brand positive. You could have helped turn the tide of public sentiment. Instead you choose to provide additional steps for an unsatisfied customer and snarkily respond to criticism of your missed opportunity. Why doesn’t it occur in your personal response process to say, “Hey, one of my customers has a broken product, let ME reach out and solve it for them.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrohde Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) The thread has a common thought and it isn’t brand positive. You could have helped turn the tide of public sentiment. Instead you choose to provide additional steps for an unsatisfied customer and snarkily respond to criticism of your missed opportunity. Why doesn’t it occur in your personal response process to say, “Hey, one of my customers has a broken product, let ME reach out and solve it for them.” Ah I agree, that's what the third-party reseller should have done to begin with. Wonder why the don't reach out to their customer who bought from them? Good point. :thumbup: Wonder if their distribution agreement with VKB - the manufacturer - needs to be revised if they cannot (or will not) care for their customers? If I were a VKB decision maker, I would ensure that they - if unable to provide support themselves - at least point their customers to the official VKB Technical Support forums for help on their sales invoice and/or terms & conditions page they're required to provide to their customers. I mean, I wonder how third-party vendors handle any warranty request inquiry that might come up?
