Insane

Usually I am not the guy writing fanboyish articles - but this time I have to make an exclude.

Today my Gunfighter MKII MCG Pro en arrived.

What can I say? I am really impressed because I had never expected such a difference to my former stick which was not bad at all (X52 Pro).

But this thing is a whole new ballpark. I have quite a lot hours in the Huey, the Shark and Gazelle right now this became different. You really can 'think' the airframe where you want it to have.

Absolutely fantastic.

Congrats!

 

That has been my experience as well with my Mk I Gunfighter Pro and MCG Pro grip.

Yes it is an outstanding piece of equipment, I can't wait until they release the throttle.

Looking forward to that as well, as long as it has detents.

I'm the same. I've had my MCG Pro MkIII for 2 weeks replacing my trusty X52 Pro. One thing I've never been able to do in DCS was refuelling. First attempt with the MCG I took on 6000 lbs. Every practice since has been successful, with a few disconnects. I always felt the sloppy middle of the X52 was hurting my formation and refuelling flying., but as I have average flying skills, I didn't want to blame the hardware. I was very surprised at the immediate improvement after only a few hours general flying with the MCG. Refuelling is still challenging but I finish each session barrel-rolling the tanker rather than shooting it down in frustration

I'm sure the tanker crews greatly appreciate your investment in VKB hardware. ;)

 

I've had mine for nearly a week, replacing an aging but still pretty trusty Warthog stick. Still using the WH throttle (still a pretty nice piece of kit), but the Gunfighter MK3 / MCG Pro is so far ahead of the WH stick in terms of precision it's just not funny. I had no idea what I was missing. Mostly fly WWII aircraft in DCS and IL2, and the ability to make fine adjustments when firing on a target almost feels like cheating. It's crazy.
