Oh wow. I was just about to pull the trigger on the MCG Pro w/extension haha, glad you guys using VKB!

 

I was all set to either pick up a full Virpil MT-50 HOTAS by year end (once the throttle is released), or wait patiently for the Virpil/BRD partnership to announce their collaboration HOTAS (and pick it up assuming it'd be released within the next 6-8 months), and now I get this curve ball thrown my way from VKB...

 

Back to the drawing board on trying to decide which direction I want to go to upgrade my TMWH.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrd........... How to make a simmers life even more difficult...... You decide on one thing and someone decides to throw a curve ball...... :pilotfly:

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

I am confused by all of the excitement. Is it that they are going to make an F-14 grip or that they set up the US website to buy their products from? (I am guessing it is a new site based on a snarky comment on the EU site fishing for new info. Based on those replies, I don't see how it could be the first item then... more confused than ever) And, why do they have like a half dozen different choices for what looks like the same exact grip? Can someone help an idiot out with all this stuff?

You're not the only one - Do we cancel our current MCG pre-orders in hope of a new F-14 Grip? Does it just mean HB are now using VKB gear in general? While I understand the usual 'choo-choo all aboard the hype-train" tease pictures that are seemingly compulsory these days - they do make simple practical decision making a little trickier than it needs to be.

There will be exact specs soon, but for now you can assume that is a Grip by VKB with their standard set of features (+ some changes to make the F-14 stick better for simmers in general!)

 

Totally subject to change however, hence just a teaser for now! Don't flog me before anything is officially announced (and thus set in stone feature wise)

More information will be released by us and VKB once we get closer to release. :)

 

VKB hardware tends to be compatible with the WH base. :)

Ah, thanks for clarifying that a bit, Sir. I was seriously lost.

Any chance of getting it to ED, or if your team can do it, so they can set it up to be plug and play like the warthog where all of the functions/buttons are predefined?
