It's a CGI rendering, but hopefully from CAD files so it *will* exist. Great idea, modular would be very cool as they could add on elements for various periods :nice:

I really want the WWII vintage grip but worry about key bindings that are important and not enough buttons :(

I have the VKB Gladiator Pro Mk.II and can say the buttons are quite adequate for Cliffs and BoX. For other sims they are of course too few. With a few concessions, it is still the best. :salute:

Thinking of getting the jet grip soon for DCS and that. https://vkbcontrollers.com/?product_cat ... -pro-mk-ii

Nice! But probably for a low price in excess of 2K.

The VKB WW2 throttle is just a render, and won't be made any time soon, if at all. I think I will be going with the new Virpil throttle when it is released.

I had been telling Hitler for over a year, since my first flight in an Me-262, that only Focke Wulf Fw-190 fighter production should continue in conventional aircraft, to discontinue the Me-109, which was outdated, and to focus on building a massive jet-fighter force. - Galland
