VKB-Sim ‘Modern Combat Grip’ (MCG)
VKB is proud to announce the production launch of the VKB-Sim ‘Modern Combat Grip’ (MCG).
This controller was developed by AVIAAVTOMATIKA in Russia for Sukhoi’s modernized ‘Flanker’ series of fighter jets, as well as their 5th generation prototypes.
VKB engineers adapted the ergonomics of the real ‘Flanker’ grip for the use in flight simulations with only minimal design changes.
