@walmis I was at the FSExpo in Las Vegas (a.k.a. Sin City) over the weekend. Virpil has a new grip that I'm quite excited about -- the FLNKR. There's nothing on the web about it yet that I can find, but it is part of a new "Expert Series" product line. Its body and trigger are metal, and it has a new hat design. One of my peeves about the Alpha and Alpha Prime Virpil grips that I had, but sold, is that I found it very difficult to press down on a hat without also actuating one of the other switches on the hat (L/R/U/D). The new hat locks into its center when slightly pressed down, which prevents that -- very clever. The grip feels great (it is pretty large though) and I was told that it's a replica of the grip that's in some Su jets.
I forgot to ask how much it will cost, but I'm not sure they would've told me. No release date yet.
I mention it only b/c I want to get it on your long-range A-A radar in terms of button/hat support on the Rhino. I will be holding off on buying the grip until that support is in place... It's shown in the product catalog I got at the show. EDIT: I just found some images of some of the new products: https://imgur.com/a/virpil-fsexpo-2024-hardware-pics-1Mq6as9
They also have a new Cadet grip that's coming out, and (not that it matters here) a new Expert Series "VMax Prime" throttle.
