Super Libra Suspended?

[Sorata]

Anyone notice any bundle with the Super Libra base and the base by itself is now listed as suspended on WinWing's site. Is that cause of the lockdown or is it being replaced by the Orion 2 for now on?

That would make sense production and logistic wise and I have both and to me the Orion 2 is superior so maybe they are streamlining production to just the one base.

If they were smart, they would make one really good base and standardize production. But is seems most vendors need to have two price tiers to sustain business. I have the Supra Libra because at the time I ordered, the only option was the stick/throttle combo. But despite their promises that I would like the Super Libra more than the VKB Gunfighter Pro, I still prefer the VKB stick. If the Orion 2 is superior to the Supra Libra in every way, there would be no reason to continue producing it unless it can be sold at a lower price tier.

Yeah thats probably what they are doing, only drawback is you need the cam kit to stiffen it up as its too springy returning to center vs the Libra but I'm sure the kit changes that.

By the way my super libra I guess is version 3? The part setup inside is a bit different than the manual online as far as the cams, board and screw placement. I am adding the extension to it and the manual online says to switch the spring to the number 5 when doing that so did you ever have to do that or leave it stock?

Yeah I had bought the libra literally a day or two before they announced the Orion 2. Just got my first Orion 2 today and like it but am waiting on the Orion 2 MFSSB version I preordered too. One will be for helos and one for the F-16 but I really need to get the cam set for it in case I need it. Winwing is making me buy all their products  I got a blackshark collective too but haven't got the throttle base a joystick and extension for the helos setup yet but I'm waiting to see what else they announce before I dive into that like I did the Libra only for the Orion 2 to release.

Yes, I have also seen that with EOL, have also immediately looked on Facebook but there is silence so far.

I am only recently in possession of an Orion2 base but had (and still have) before that since April 22 the Super Libra. The Orion2 is still equipped with the standard cams and springs. I find compared to the extremely defined Super Libra, the Orion2 is rather spongy. Possibly that will change with the cam and springs set.

I find it a pity that they discontinue the Super Libra (if that is really the case) and hope for an even better successor to the Super Libra.

Hmm, the Orion 2 is the successor....head and shoulders better then the Libra. I have both btw!
