Fox511 Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 (edited) Well, I'll try to translate this "About us" article: http://www.vkb-flightsimcontrols.com/intro.php?PHPSESSID=7eb92153acac68216a3486c184890fa8 May be it can help to english speaking community to understand "What is VKB?" So: The "Virtual Design Bureau" haven't a constant quantity of workers. It is a few enthusiast, wich are having an opportunity and wish to help for design work. Quite a long there were works about improvement of HOTAS COUGAR mechanics, experiments for replacing Stick Axis resistors by nonimpact sensors, quest for factory places to first experimental models producing. Was established a basis for steel rudder pedals. Was made a vkb.sukhoi.ru site, which includes a most interesting design solutions from many peoples. Was produced first nonimpact sensors, named as "МаРС" (MaRS) Was started a producing a steel rudder pedals in few quantities (I have one - added by Fox511 :) ) This pedals and sensors are made a some publicity for VKB. Was made a new site for more new clients and designers. Well, as VKB designers says: "For us it is hobby, not work, but if we look at time costs, we cannot say definetly - what is this for us. Some of us are transformed this hobby to work with greate plesure, but peoples are living in different parts of ex-USSR, and there are some problems with certification of this business. At least now. But we hope, that our company will be grow." If you have any suggestions about cooperation, or you have some ideas for us, please contact - admin@vkb-flightsimcontrols.com Мужики, если чего еще захотите написать - пишите прям тут по русски, я буду переводить.
