WindyTX Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Personally I don't need the twist I prefer to use the twcs throttle lever when I am on my mobile rig. I did notice that the space grip has got the twist built in and did not appear to be too expensive when it gets released. The VKB gunfighter gymbal is far superior to the Warthog one so I would not bother with a Warthog compatible grip as long as you can make the bases available, at the moment they are kind off like rocking horse shit. I have 2 Gunfighter mk1 bases one for Home and one for my mobile rig . It does cause some questions going through security due to the MCG PRO'S metal triggers. Will there be any support for those of us with Gunfighter mk 1's Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk I7 3930 4.2GHz ( Hyperthreading Off), GTX1080, 16 GB ddr3 Hotas Warthog Saiteck Combat Pedals HTC Vive, Oculus CV1.

Sport Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 So is there a middle option for those who use a Virpil base? I currently use a Warthog grip with a VPC base. That base controller and software CAN detect axes on the grip, so the DLC switch should function normally, provided the mounting hardware is compatible. It’ll be a day-1 purchase for me, if so Come check me out on YouTube! Twitch! Have a listen to the Alert 5 Podcast - YOUR source for the latest combat flight simulation news!

Icebeat Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 1. No twist for me. 2. Warthog compatibility will make the grip accessible to more users. This means more customers for VKB. Could the grip have a wheel that works as buttons on a WH, and axis on the VKB? Perhaps the same grip for both WH and VKB, but an adaptor for the WH base? The adaptor could have its own USB port so that the grip becomes a USB controller of its own, and the WH base is used for the X&Y axes. +1 Great idea.

Sokol1_br Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Warthog's controller can only handle buttons, not axes. Hence, this version of the grip will be limited in its functionality compared to standard version: the self centering thumbwheel will work as two buttons, effectively cancelling precise analog mode. What will be the use for an analog axis in this thumb wheel, since the wheel is spring back to center position, or work like a "Momentary-OFF-Momentary" switch?

Sprite001 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Twist should be available as an option, like MCG in near furture :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seb71 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 You know what, there are some people that lost their legs. Or ability to control their lower body. Car crashes, you know. Sport injuries. Shиt happens. Some of them are virtual pilots. They can't use pedals. We are happy that with our help they will be able to fly legendary plane without pedals. We are thinking about it, and it is a serious consideration. Case closed. You are the one which brought the "but the real F-14 does not have it" argument into discussion. I just pointed to another aspect of it. No need for such drama, bringing injured people into it now. What about people which lost their right arm? Don't they deserve a left handed F-14 grip? See, it can only get worse when you take the discussion there. So better leave all this out of discussion about joysticks. I see no point in this argument. VKB guarantees correct functioning of our grips on our own and on WH base, period. Case closed. I understand that VKB can not make such a guarantee of wider compatibility. It was just my point of view on this subject. I don't know of any technical reason for a Warthog-compatible grip to not be also Virpil-compatible. So I just mentioned this.

Strikeeagle345 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 1) No on the Twist function 2) either way. Maybe having two options would be nice, or even an adapter to turn the VKB into the WH?

SkillyJ Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I personally think that this should be available for Warthog bases as well. There are a lot of people out there who own Warthog HOTAS's and leaving that segment out of the option to get this would be unfortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sokol1_br Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 To the latest of our engineers' knowledge, F14 Tomcat was an aircraft made for right hand controlling... hence, no left hand versions are planned. Well, some guys may want an stick for RIO. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyTX Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Didn't mean you failed to support Gunfighter 1, I was asking if the F14 grip would be made for the Gunfighter MK1 as well as the 2.

AeroGator Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Well, some guys may want an stick for RIO. We discussed this opportunity with Heartblur, and found it not feasible.

AH_Solid_Snake Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Just out of interest - my understanding of the weapon selection switch to the top left was a rotary + push button? Is this correct / how it is implemented for the stick? To expand on this - and I would need to go back to my books to see if I can corroborate it - the selector was rotated to the desired weapon then pushed to select it, so that moving from OFF to sparrow / phoenix wouldn't select each weapon in sequence from guns upward.

WindyTX Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Absolutely mine had a 1 inch dead zone with a 30 cm extension. Just make the gymbal available which is my only misgiving VKB availability is a bit patchy !
