OnlyforDCS Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I would like to purchase the Gunfighter MK II. Pro (bundled with the extension) I am in Europe and tried purchasing through this site: https://flightsimcontrols.com/ Apparently the stick is not in stock. Two questions is the above site legit, and will they bundle the stick with the extension or do I need to purchase it separately? Current specs: Windows 10 Home 64bit, i5-9600K @ 3.7 Ghz, 32GB DDR4 RAM, 1TB Samsung EVO 860 M.2 SSD, GAINWARD RTX2060 6GB, Oculus Rift S, MS FFB2 Sidewinder + Warthog Throttle Quadrant, Saitek Pro rudder pedals.

aniron Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 They have sold out of the Mk2, and have stated they will start selling the Mk3 around Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadus Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Oh too bad. A few days ago it was still in stock. Let's hope, that the F14 grip will also be ready for sale, when the Mk3 arrives. :D Edit: Just checked & bundled with the MCG Pro, the Mk2 is still in stock. Seems like the non Pro MCG is out of stock.

AeroGator Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Guys it is not the matter of PRO version or non-PRO. It is precisely what @aniron said, we have sold out the GF2s (a few may still be available through re-sellers, but we have none in our main storage). But worry not, there is NO DANGER of returning to the old chronical out of stock situation. GF3s are coming before Xmas, so at most there will be a few weeks gap. > Best Regards from VKB Lair, AeroGator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will the pricing be about the same, or will the new GF3 sticks cost more?

AeroGator Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) GF3 - Pricing Thanks for the reply. Will the pricing be about the sameIt will surely remain in the same price range - although it may go a few Big Macs up. Improvements as such do not add to the price. However for example there will be an extra set of cams included in the retail kit. What we are talking about here is as I wrote above all within a few hamburgers' price, so worry not. new GF3 sticksGF3 are no sticks. GF3 are bases. MCG and Kosmosimas are grips. A set of a base and a grip makes a joystick. :) Edited November 28, 2019 by AeroGator > Best Regards from VKB Lair, AeroGator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AeroGator Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 GF2 CONNECTOR on GF3 Will the GF3 use a different connector than GF2? I hope we don’t have to upgrade the existing grips (I have 3 grips from you guys).Thank you for supporting us. NO the connector will be the same. We totally understand the feelings of the guys who lived through v1 to v2 transition and although it is impossible to promise anything for years ahead, but we will try to keep this connector in use for as long as possible. So far nothing calls for its replacement, it does its job fine, and we are not planning any modifications to it. > Best Regards from VKB Lair, AeroGator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VC Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 So is it a website mistake when it says "in stock", but only with "MCG Pro (EN)" grip selected? VC =X51= Squadron is recruiting!

Canadus Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 So is it a website mistake when it says "in stock", but only with "MCG Pro (EN)" grip selected? I would assume, that the retailer has received some last Gunfighters from the main warehouse. I saw the MKII (Pro EN) for a reduced price last weekend but missed the chance to get it. :doh: Too bad... so now I have to wait for some MKIIIs to arrive in europe.

Waxer Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Really looking forward to any details being shared on the differences with the Mk III version of the Gunfighter base. Yeah, I asked about that. I was just told that they were not giving that information yet and to wait till nearer release. What was said was that it was an electronics upgrade, but no indication of how that would benefit the user experience. Anyways... we find out hopefully soon enough.

Ok thanks, I am still running the Mk I and might be tempted if there would be enough of a difference to justify. But then I would have to get new grip as well to match the pin orientation as it changed with the Mk II.

I would also like to know if the new cams and springs will work with the current versions. This info would be vital to me in my decision to update my MKI or invest into the MKIII.
