For our Customers and Friends. We have something new.....

[WinwingTech]

We will see you on the 10th.   

[Rick50]

Hmm... think I might know what this might be... maybe

[Beeroshima]

What's your theory?

[Rick50]

Well, dunno about the whole product... but the image above seems to resemble a keyboard key/button that has an LCD display. Just like a Streamdeck. So maybe this is a direct competitor. Or maybe a "universal UFC" so that it can represent different aircraft, switching just by changing modules to use. Or maybe an MFD that features the perimeter keys that display the way this module or that module's buttons display?

I just think this looks like the keys that now have full color LCD displays on them, that change dynamically.

[Hiob]

Doesn't look like a display to me. Looks like back lighted.....

My guess would be some kind of keyboard, too, though.

MFD's

[Jagdgeschwader]

I think, it's a UFC. It can't be a keyboard because of the thin edge but i may be wrong..

[Weasel]

My guess it‘s a UFC. However, on April 10th, we know it for sure

[Dragon1-1]

Lovely, but my F-18 Orion HOTAS is still on backorder.  An UFC would, admittedly, be nice to see, but I'd really love a HOTAS.

I might be in the market for a pair for a pair of highly realistic Hornet/Viper-like pedals (solid bar, toe brakes don't stay parallel to the foot when pedals are deflected), but a UFC is low on my priority list.

please reduce the shipping cost and combine items then look at producing new products!

From their pictures on Facebook, it looks like an F15 throttle quadrant.  The button is confusing though.  LED display on the buttons?

I really don't see where y'all get that LED Display on the buttons-idea from. It doesn't look nothing like a display. It's a basic shine-through button if you ask me....
You can even see the (rendered) texture of the key.

Nah, that looks exactly like the regular Hornet power levers. They talk about customisation, so maybe swappable HAT/button switches like VKB is doing?

Ah well, we'll know soon enough. 

 

[APOC_V]

So the finger lift detents are new in that pic. Aren't they currently a push through design?

Because it's clearly an illuminated button with their text.  You don't have to see where I get it.  It's just my guess.  It could be wrong.  Now that I look at it, I'm thinking it's just finger lifts added to their f18 throttle.  That makes more sense with the "set your own pace" comment.

It certainly looks like current F-18 Grip for Winwing Orion, but with fingerlifts and perhaps adjustable detents (arc in the middle)? I wonder if this will be an add-on for current customers or new version of Winwing Orion throttle base? Image focuses just on the grip, fingerlifts and detent mechanism, so I hope it will be an add-on.

For comparison, stock Orion base with F-18 grip:

Think these will be the new F18 Throttles? I ordered about a week ago so hopefully when they get production happening again it would be this with the finger lifts
