Introducing the VKB-Sim ‘Modern Combat Grip’ (MCG)

Recommended Posts

Okay, so, each base from the link, with 3 pin, would work with the Vkb MCG Pro?

Basically any VKB base.

 

- VKB Gladiator Mk.II "vanilla" - with adapter announced recently, plus update firmware, load profile.

 

- VKB Gladiator PRO - update firmware, load profile.

 

- VKB Gunfighter - update firmware, load profile.

 

- VKB Gunfighter PRO - update firmware, load profile.

 

And some Mambas legacy bases (listed in rrohde link).

 

Seems that old bases still depending on firmware development for work with MCG's.

Sorry don't worry about the above question. I have just noticed that the pro fold-able trigger sensors that I am after aren't in the TM version.

 

Right; that's because of the limitation of the TMW base of not working with analog axes.

"What we will offer for EU customers:

 

Gunfighter Mk.II Pro/non-Pro with MCG Pro/non-Pro grip with En/Ru engravings

Gunfighter Mk.II KG12

T-Rudder Mk.IV

 

Basically we are going to offer the full range of Gunfighter Mk.II line. "

 

So, no mcg for rev a gunfighter base?

this is interesting me too. I bought the rev a gunfighter base last year to split the cost for base and grip(which then was stated to be released in a couple of months :music_whistling: ) With the grip launch for everyone except the eu there was a rev b base now. So did i bought the rev a base for the mcg and will not be able to use it? This would be really sad considering the price, that i could not use it once because there was no mcg aviable and will not be able to use it if the mcg is not combatible with rev a. :cry:

"To clarify questions about MCG / MCG Pro for Gunfighter Mk.I:

There will be no separate MCG in the EU bulk shipment in April, however, we will offer those grips for Gunfighter Mk.I owners with shipment in June. Some variants could be available earlier." Eduard in vkb forums.

 

I guess we will get them eventually. The long wait continues. :music_whistling:

Me everyday when I check the VKB NA website to see if the stock has been magically refilled prior to the "mid April" quote...

Wow, that's bad news. :cry: So perhaps i will be able to use my rev a base over a year after i ordered it, or more likely just wasted money :bomb:

Stupid me, never again. :doh:

Checked the website earlier, not sure exactly when it happened but it now says "late April" instead of "mid-April" like it used to.

There is hope for us rev A owner.

Update 10.04.2018

 

The work is in progress to migrate the store to the new platform and new payment system. It will take few more days to complete migration and tests.

 

In the meanwhile, I would like to inform that when the site is online we will offer also MCG grips for rev. A socket which is compatible with previously sold Gunfighter Mk.I and Gladiator Pro Mk.II models.

Here's a video that shows spring/cam replacement; even thought it's based on the Gladiator Pro, the steps are virtually the same for the Gunfighter.

I use more simply and safe way for spring replace - strong and thick synthetic thread instead of pliers, see my photo.

 

BTW, guys. Do you engage nylon damper? If yes - how do you feel it?
