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

Remember me, VKB dudes? I remember you... I'm still... waiting... ;) We needs the precious...

Oh man, I'd like to get this joystick. How long do we have to wait for it?

:)

Just a guess: "Two mounts, be sure!" but if Chinese New Year came first then is "Two seasons, be sure!"

sokol1 your firmware is outdated.

lol

Maybe, but it has not proven wrong, June became July that became August, that will soon be September. ;)

god damnit, the revamped MCG Pro will be a very versatile stick...whatever sim or game you throw at it, plenty of buttons and axis to play around with. I wonder, what is the cheapest base one you can attach it to and keep all buttons and axis working?

Ah man do not throw a grip like that on a cheap base, that would be just wrong LOL !

VKB base, the other option is use the "cut down" MCG-TM version in Warthog base plus a ~$ 80 adapter - and in this case loose the best of the package, the "Next Gen" gimbal. :joystick:

yeah i feel you. But what is the use of adaptability if i cannot build my systme up piece by piece. @Sokol, just to enterain the thought: you are pretty knowledgable about arduino boards and stuff. Do you think it would be possible to connect the MGC Pro to an arduino board and have the inputs read out to the pic via that solution?

that's the correct order. need help for the rest of the year?

I will aim for pre-orders some time in August (subject to change), have to see how things are going. I try to keep everyone up-to-date, of course. :)

I know, I was hoping for the MCG pro/gunfighter base preorder soon. :smilewink:

Dude... you're the opposite of PR for VKB. :doh: I don't know if it's the language barrier, or what, but you just keep coming across as a jerk.

I have the pre-order software installed in the webshop, just need new information from VKB HQ as to what the ETA is. I hope to have more info on that after August 22nd.

Pre-ordering won't charge your CC until the item is ready to ship.

Thanks!

Is that comparison chart now the final one, so what you see there is what you get?

Can I hope the pre order will be available on the 21st Hong Kong time

That depends if VKB HQ has some other news for us after August 22nd. The reason why I bring this date up is because the VKB owner will be back from a business trip and should have more final details regarding the MCG production status, including any (if any) changes and/or final tweaks you can expect. That said, a little more patience is needed. :)

.....after August 22nd.

...after August 24th.

Thanks Andre! :thumbup:

It is so painful to wait something when it is getting so close....

So hope to see a good grip+base+extension bundle so I can stop throwing money on the screen...

@Fri13 - I'm right with you there!

MCG - prints; comments/suggestions anyone?

This is just a routine check-up and announcement that should cheer you up while waiting for the MCG release. At least, so we hope :)

We found the way to have a talk with the original grip engineers about the text prints on grips supplied with export versions of Su and MiG planes.

Here are the pictures of exactly the prints they have on originals. What you see will with high probability go in production, however if there is anything you guys feel like sticking out or not really belonging, this is the time to raise questions or suggest alterations.

We're all ears.

I totally love the font and the labeling. Please don't change a thing (speaking as my best customer here...) :)
