Title: VKB throttle...any news?
Post by: Bixby on October 18, 2021, 12:33:44 AM
Been waiting for it for a long time.

Could use a new one. Any suggestions? Using a thrustmaster TWCS now but it seems to be losing precision/smoothness.

The TWCS is ok, but there must be something better. I fly in AH and three other flight sims and throttle precision is important.

I did think to mine a bit back ..

It made it smoother and with an indentation in the slide that helps keep the engine from overheating in the other sims

VKB keeps saying it's coming out but they announced it intially in 2017. So who knows. Could order the Virpil throttle. I'm told it's great. I'm just gonna wait and see what VKB comes out with, they will eventually, and let a few other people use it to see if it's worthy before deciding to buy. No complaints whatsoever with my Gunfighter/MCG-Pro stick. They do make really good stuff.

I decided not to wait for VKB and ordered the Virple T-50 Mongoose CM3 Throttle.  Best decision I made and wish I had replaced my CH Pro Throttle a lot sooner.

Exactly what i did and except replaced a logitech throttle. I wanted to match up VKB stick and throttle but got tired of waiting.

These new sticks and throttles sound nice, but Aces High is the only flight game I play or want to play. Im not putting any more money into the game unless Hitech starts putting some time and money into the game.

Don't like them at all.  Virple's throttle much better.

Lucky for me that AH isn't the only flight sim or game I play.

That VKB throttle is the lower level one they showed sometime last year, the TECS which is the one everyone has been waiting for a few years is still nowhere in site.
