I will believe it (TECS) when I see it. I gave up on that one about a year and a half ago. 1 Don B EVGA Z390 Dark MB | i9 9900k CPU @ 5.1 GHz | Gigabyte 4090 OC | 64 GB Corsair Vengeance 3200 MHz CL16 | Corsair H150i Pro Cooler |Virpil CM3 Stick w/ Alpha Prime Grip 200mm ext| Virpil CM3 Throttle | VPC Rotor TCS Base w/ Alpha-L Grip| Point Control V2|Varjo Aero| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallas88B Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Yes its a shame. VKB certainly got put back with staffing loss and I feel sorry for them (and anyone in the same state) for that. I suspect they genuinely were gearing up for a terrific product and its release...but their plans have gone awry. But VKB, (like others in this industry, and even some in the supporting YT community), do themselves zero favours with their sharp, condescending and plain smart arse replies to genuine enquiries. A bit of candid, and polite, explanatory communication would go a long way and probably garner better support and understanding. 6 2 MSI Z690 EDGE | i5 12600K | RTX 3070 TUF OC 8GB | Kingston Fury Renegade 32GB 3600MHz CL16 | Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 |SilverStone 1000W Strider 80+ Platinum PSU | LG 34GN850 UWQHD 160Hz G-Sync HDR IPS 34in Monitor | Antlion Audio ModMic Uni-Directional Microphone with Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO Closed Back Studio Headphones | Behringer Xenyx 302USB Mixer | Virpil T-50CM3 Throttle | DELANCLiP head tracking | Gunfighter Mk.III MCE Ultimate | Crosswind Pedals | W10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of candid, and polite, explanatory communication would go a long way and probably garner better support and understanding. I struggled for about 1 hr with the Virpil, the Firmware was so old that Windows wouldn't recognize the buttons, unlike every single other throttle I've tried and at this point, the only one I've not connected to my PC is the cougar. It was so different in fact I thought something was wrong with it. Thank Goodness I thought: EEPROM and then installed its software and went from there. That was a mishap from Virpil, because I was about to return it. But now I'm thoroughly enjoying it, Still have to work on some optimizations and there are a couple of things I wish were different but the difference is noticeable. Also, the software is pretty interesting, even if the UI seems overwhelming. It's actually not and I've begun to like it. I'm beginning to suspect and this is a bad thing, there might be reasons why they're not being honest on this one. Probably the person behind it leaving has something to do with it. I mean, is basic human behavior that bravado almost always is used to hide something else. I do hope they survive and are intelligent enough to maneuver in these difficult times, the quality of their mid range is top notch and you can see the talent.

Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk I was like you, super excited 5 years ago when they unveiled the design, description and said stay tuned for the release date. After 2 years I lost hope, untuned and glad I did because here we are almost 5 years later, more than 5 years since first announcement and still no “when” on the horizon. My life is completely different, I’m a different person, the whole world has changed while they are still making TECS. Well, hopefully my kids will be lucky to see the release of the product when they grow up after they get born. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cordite Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 It seems to be mostly about the WWII stuff, but there seems to be a glimpse of what could be a HOTAS throttle just before the credits. Wish the WWII throttle grip was twinned with a lock, rather than a single grip across two axis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogmanbird Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 it's been so long coming with varying hints at what it could end up being, I think whatever they release will now end in disappointment due to the anticipation. plus cm3 throttle is going to take a bit to beat it's been "starwars-fied". Probably best to reveal nothing till it's released Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EightyDuce Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Haha, the greatest vaporware product of all time. I love my Gunfighter and T-rudder, but this throttle...

This will also determine price point. If former perhaps better go with CM3 if you can not wait. I personally prefer single software to control it, although in case of VKB ita allreasy inside device.
