335th_GRMultiDoc Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 I've lost faith years ago with VKB. I cannot understand why they operate like they do. I am grateful Virpil came along otherwise my "get back to flight sims" wouldn't have been possible.

Picchio Posted May 11, 2018 Posted May 11, 2018 Well, if there happens to be a MCG owner who for some reason desires to rid himself of the grip, I'm all ears!
Marrond Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 My Gunfighter with MCG Pro RU has been dispatched today - they've sold more Gunfighters Pro than they had so I'm getting basic Gunfighter now and then they will send me Extension kit to turn it into Pro I've tried to get high-end VKB stick since they've shown Black Mamba... that would be over 6 years now... makes me wanna cry.
Picchio Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 Is anyone aware of an alternate source for getting Warthog/Gunfighter MkII Rev.B adapters? No stock in Europe and the MCG will probably be there only in the late summer
Sokol1 Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 VKB Warthog adapter is 'sold out' in vkbcontrollers.com, not available in VKB Sim in Aliexpress, neither in vkb-sim.pro...
TWC_Ace Posted May 16, 2018 Author Posted May 16, 2018 (edited) Their EU store is not professional. I asked them about replacement springs and they told me it will be possible to order and then nothing happened. Simmilar thing for some other (more expensive) items. Then again their store at alliexpress is working ok but shipping and VAT is huge. Simmilar with US store. Why on earth EU store is such a mess only they know. I guess if Virpil would make desktop joystick with all metal gimbal mechanism, it would sell like mad in EU. Edited May 16, 2018 by blackram
335th_GRMultiDoc Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 I've lost all hope for VKB years ago. It seems they are always out of stock no matter what, as for release dates... that's a joke. In the end it's a pity cause they do have some excellent gear but it seems it's made from unobtainium.

It's coming. https://virpil.com/en/shop/sticks/vpc-warbrd-vpc These guys definitely have their act together.

Picchio Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 Thanks for the heads-up, Sokol1, it confirms what I've seen so far. In case you spot someone willing to say adieu to their MCG let me know I've got no complaints regarding my experience with VKB, with both their Chinese and European counterparts. Eduard always replied do my e-mails promptly and with courtesy. I guess I'm lucky. Received their MkI.V pedals an hour ago, I'm eager to try them out.
TWC_Ace Posted May 18, 2018 Author Posted May 18, 2018 FYI Just got an info VKB Europe will refresh their inventory in their store over the weekend.
TWC_Ace Posted May 22, 2018 Author Posted May 22, 2018 And they lied again.....one of the reasons I lost interest into their pedals.....this is so sad.
Sokol1 Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 If you want a somewhat "solid" information about VKB schedules look at il2sturmovik.ru VKB section - their managers "talk" there. VKB EU, USA sites just replicate what they are 'officially' informed.
dburne Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 What they officially state just constantly changes though...
DiscoPhil Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 (edited) Because of my bad experience with VKB in the past I will spend the extra bucks for crosswind pedals instead of going with VKB pedals. I also plan to get a high end stick soon. Virpil/Baur will be the way to go for me. Edited May 22, 2018 by DiscoPhil

The problem is the official mail from official representative from VKb informed me that replacement springs and a bunch of other stuff will be available in VKB EU store from past weekend. Well it wasnt and still it isnt. Some stuff which was announced in the past was months late in the store. Unacceptable. Edited May 22, 2018 by blackram
