rrohde Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 This one may seem a little weird, but just to be sure ... Bearing the warning to only tighten the dry clutch screws to "finger tightness" in mind, are there any long implications to have a relatively strong dry clutch friction? E.g., is there more wear/stress on the components, requiring, e.g., replacement of the nylon collars or other parts sooner rather than later in the future? Confirmed by VKB HQ - no need to worry. :) PC: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X | MSI Suprim GeForce 3090 TI | ASUS Prime X570-P | 128GB DDR4 3600 RAM | 2TB Samsung 870 EVO SSD | Win10 Pro 64bit Gear: HP Reverb G2 | JetPad FSE | VKB Gunfighter Pro Mk.III w/ MCG Ultimate VKBcontrollers.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rrohde Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 when can we have the throttle for modern jet and metal MCG grip? Difficult to answer. For the TCS (Throttle Control System), VKB HQ told me it has the highest priority after the initial release of the MCG grip variants. I cannot say anything about the metal replica version of the MCG at this time - as VKB HQ hasn't shared anything concrete about this.

DEChengst Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Yep. Site still says it should ship today. Still haven't received a tracking ID though. Only positive thing is that I live in The Netherlands and I should have it pretty quick after it ships. Standard shipping time is one day with delivery of package on Tuesday through Saturday.

VampireNZ Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 My Gunfighter-Pro recently arrived and I felt compelled to write a quick review on my initial thoughts - can be seen here. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=3172731#post3172731 I also designed and manufactured a mounting bracket for my Obutto Ozone rig if anyone might be interested in some plans to give your local engineering firm to whip one up for you. :joystick: Asus Maximus VIII Hero Alpha| i7-6700K @ 4.60GHz | nVidia GTX 1080ti Strix OC 11GB @ 2075MHz| 16GB G.Skill Trident Z RGB 3200Mhz DDR4 CL14 | Samsung 950 PRO 512GB M.2 SSD | Corsair Force LE 480GB SSD | Windows 10 64-Bit | TM Warthog with FSSB R3 Lighting Base | VKB Gunfighter Pro + MCG | TM MFD's | Oculus Rift S | Jetseat FSE [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
some1 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I wonder if VKB has some intermediate length stick extension planned (around 8 cm). The one sold currently is longer and looking at the photos, requires a floor mount and lots of space for stick deflection.

As far as I know, there is currently no other stick extension planned besides the 200mm one already out there for the Gunfighter.

RUS38 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) Hi Rainer! I've received mine a few days ago and just wondering if those two screws that hold down the dust cover are still an issue with this second batch of gunfighters. Should I loosen it a bit? Just by looking I couldn't find what could be the problem that was mentioned before. BTW my short first time impression is there as well.
