Rogue Trooper Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 (edited) Yes, my wallet is ready. If you look at the Apache cockpit it is just MFDs that pretty much run the entire show.... I would like to get these right from the get go. For me the price is ok, the Apache MFDs are quite unique so this somewhat limits sales to mostly Apache Sim Pilots. Although the Apache MFDs would certainly help if we got a KA-52!!! How high are the gates separating each button and any photos of that? I am a VR pilot only, the gates give a nice reference to where your fingers are when feeling your way to pressing buttons. Are the white lines from the centre of each button printed white or 3 dimensional and white?

Coyote_One Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 (edited) On 12/23/2021 at 10:38 AM, JackFlash said: This is spot on. Just the molds for the buttons and the housing sums up to around 10k USD. Sure, if we sell 5000 the price would go down, but that’s not in reach I recon. I think i.e Virpil has a markup at around 50%. We won’t make that much in this device. We do it because it’s fun and hopefully we make a small profit, but it won’t make us millions. You could compare to the TekCreations frame on their homepage, and I still think we have a better product. The device have 2 potentiometers and a three position switch. Im SOOOO ready for this to drop Just need to get another MFD monitor on top of the 2 I already have built xD Edited December 29, 2021 by Coyote_One Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should allow me to run my fingers across the gates whilst mentally counting the position without accidently activating the buttons. For sure they will be physically modified to further ensure confidence in finger position at each medial position.
