I bought a full Virpil setup off of craigslist for a steal after a couple of years of flying with my Gladiator NXT. It was my first flight stick and I still own it. I will most likely be picking one of these bad boys up. I love your products. They are very well made, user friendly, and reasonably priced. Super excited this finally released.

im continually astonished at how reasonably priced everything is. ive never been less stressed about how much this kind of stuff costs

I held out for all these years. Its a dream come true, I hope its got some good built quality to live up to the MCG Ultimate!

Super hype. Sorry for my delay on the comment I had to watch it many many times over.

Looks amazing, I was just about to get a new HOTAS soon, and I was almost decided for Virpil throttle + Mk.III gunfighter. Now I'm definitely waiting for this + the Mk.IV MCG-U, and at least I won't have to mix brands anymore!

Congratulations! Awesome job!

OMFG guys , you finally did it ! Hope stock will be there ;)

Finally yes! Worth the wait, it looks amazing. Can't wait to have it in my hands!

Would this throttle be a good fit for space sims? Some feedback: I am your customer with a gladiator NXT and love it but for throttle I have a thrustmaster t16000m with the bearing mods which is really nice in Elite Dangerous. Would an NXT omnithrottle be best? Or this. Wondering what others think too. thanks.

@jukahri

10 ай бұрын

The omnithrottle's big selling point is the large throw for laterals, giving you much better control and accuracy than with a ministick in that regard. It's less of a big deal in Elite than in SC, but can still come in handy if you're doing a lot of combat with veyr agile ships. If you're mainly space trucking or exploring, STECS will work fine (it will also work in combat of course, just not as specialized), and will be much more appropriate if you get into flight sims (Omni can work as a plane throttle in a pinch, but it's lacking detents).

Yes, those two axis were very attractive design. Hold for so long until just now in this just removed. You would have used it for example F-14 swing sweep lever, or harrier nozzle lever, or even as a landing gear lever (axis-to-button) for all, and other of course for flaps and like... As well I find it odd that the mini-joystick is not movable from thumb to index finger. It would have been nice thing.
