You could wear "flying slippers" though if Straits of Hormuz comes out, these would be a better style: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snacko Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) VKB HOTAS pairs perfectly with a set of Slaw pedals Never heard of Slaw Pedals. I'll check that out. EDIT: The look nice, but I have a Volair Sim cockpit frame, and the area for the pedals is too small to fit those I think. I've measured it for the MFG Crosswind pedals and those won't fit.

Snacko Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Thanks for that link. But each setup is different. And the only way they appear to fit in the Volair Sim pit is if they are placed way at the front of the foot area. My friend in Cincy has a VS pit and has his Crosswinds placed at the front also. So he has to have his seat further back that I do. And in that article you can see in the image that they don't even have the VS pit seat connected to the frame because it is so far away to make the pedals work. I am always on the lookout for pedals that actually fit comfortably. I emailed the Crosswind manufacturer about this width issue and he is aware and hoped to have some way to make it fit someday.

Vivoune Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) I love the mold, the shapes design (and not simply going the easy route of releasing one 'block' compared to the competition. I love the ergonomy of the throttle grips along with the modular design. The buttons choices though I'm not so sure, it seems the emphasis is a tad too much on huge push buttons. I understand the "VR complient" approach but at least a couple of switches would have been nice. No comment on Europe market availability, I beleive they got the message already, it's just frustrating for us but hopefully VKB will get their product there in time, if not there are options now that'll benefit other manufacturers.

Davee Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I could really use the VKB throttle now as my TM Throttle just went "tits-up" and I don't intend to spend $100 on a new main board. Beta tester available here!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkiller Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Is it one hat+a ministick or both are ministick? Is the 2-way switches on the handle on-off or on-off-on?

Agree on the amount of push buttons, really hoping that the final version is fitted with many more 3 way switches are those are what I find most often in the jets I fly.

Bogey Jammer Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 What would be even better is to push the modularity down to the button/switch (on the grip too), to let simmers to build their own perfect throttle unit :cry: I'll buy : МиГ-23МЛД & МЛА МиГ-27К МиГ-25 Mirage III F-4E any IJ plane 1950' Korea Dynamic campaign module Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
