Interesting it looks like they are only getting MCG grips for the Mk II Gunfighter, wonder why no Mk I MCG's...

VKB has been oddly quiet the past few weeks... maybe they are working hard on something big?

 

I would just be happy if they were to make the MCG Pro grips available again.

I was hoping the mcg pro grip would be available before virpil allows for their preorders next week. I need a new stick but can't wait any longer and it sucks that I'm going to lose the CMS switch to a button when I get a T50. I prefer having more buttons that the pro grip has.

I see the mcg pro table top bundle is in stock on the north American site.

 

Before ordering I want to know if the slew control under the red pickle button can be used as a hat switch? I need this as I mainly fly the A10C and would like to use it as my DMS button.

 

Does this allow long press to activate other functions? Just confused on setup and how to map everything as I've been using the warthog for a while now.

 

Also are these the new batch of grips? Or old ones that had the loose screws?

This device is a mini-stick (analog axes) - like the "trim" HAT, but you can set then for press button and use like a conventional HAT.

Thanks..according to an email from vkb, these are the old batch of grips. The new one will not be in stock until end of April.

At least it's not as bad as Komodo Simulations (yet).

That was originally announced to start last summer, but nothing happened.

Then they changed it to March 2018, which is what it still says.

 

I'm actually curious if we will ever see those controls. :megalol:

I bailed a couple of months ago and got a Virpil T50 Grip within a few weeks. I had already waited several months for an MCG-TM and would be waitin another several. Very happy with the grip but I'm Helos only so I don't miss the extra functions.

I had a chance to get a mcg pro a few days ago but I contacted vkb and they told me the grips that came in stock for US were still the old batches ( ones that had loose grips). The new batches will come in a week or two. Virpil is starting preorders tomorrow for their new base.

 

I play elite dangerous too so that CMS switch is important for navigating the menus in that game. I'm trying to understand how I would map everything without that 5 way switch.

Loose grips?
Yea some users noticed the screws on the mcg pro grips got loose.

 

 

Apparently this has been remedied but in the new batches.

Yeah, after a brief "very concerned period" I did some quick googling :P It's inconvenient, but not that big a deal. I was worried for a minute "I KNEW there was a catch!" I've already started looking for the bits I'll need

VoiceAttack
I have voice attack pro but rarely use it for button assignments since that's what my hotas is for. I prefer to use it for comms during misisons.

Anyone else experiencing incorrect input from the MCG buttons after computer restart, requiring one or multiple restarts of the Blackbox to get correct button readouts?

 

Yep. Its been going on for quite some time. Seems to be random though. Sometimes the stick works fine and sometimes it requires a restart from the VKB software.

Thanks for that, good to know I'm not alone. Any indication of this being an item that is worked on?
