    VKB TECS (Twin Engine Control System)





    "TECS base somewhere about US$ 200, and the extension panels – about 40 galactic credits."

    Of course they would, right after I just went through the arduous task of building my own console that wraps around my warthog throttle lol.

    Lol yeah watching you guys go through it all was a huge push for me to dive in myself for sure! I appreciate how vocal and sharing you all have been. Finally getting my pit finished off so bet you will be seeing a post in the show us your cockpit thread soon (mcg pro arrives Tuesday!, that's my last bit of kit I'm sure ) I like the look of this throttle slightly more than the Virpil one that just came out. Now if VKB would just invest in developing an affordable yoke

    Three years after VKB... update the teaser.

    The promised ~$200 "rail" throttle became a $350-400 Premium version... to be released.

    To keep the promise of $200 throttle an more simple ARC (throttles move in arch) version will be available:

    The overall layout is based on Su-55 throttle, adapted for game use.

    That arc version looks like a nice replacement for my TWCS. Lots of buttons and it looks high quality and not as toyish as the TWCS.
    I do wonder however why the rocker switches (I think they are) were put on the front of the thing. How are you supposed to operate them with the palm of your hand placed on top of the throttle?

    They say in the description that the base unit is not the real thing, the grips are, but the real base is under wraps for their own reasons.
