No, they were all "limited editions", as far as I can see.

But they seem to be coming up with several new editions soon.

It is my understanding that those rudder pedals have a much more up / down motion as opposed to front / back, so for any of you arm/office chair pilots... they might warrant some attention.

That is a very, very impressive range. Will be very interested to see their price range.

I think I've finally seen the unit that will replace my MFF2 joystick, when it finally gives up the ghost. smile

Seems they should arrive in the USA any day now...

http://www.vkb-sim.pro/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=2135


EDIT: Just found the site for European orders, it seems.
There they announce, the BLACK MAMBA Mk. III might be available sometime in May.

https://flightsimcontrols.com/2016/04/spring-update/

About the new GLADIATOR sticks - excerpt from their site news:

Gladiator Pro / Gunfighter joysticks

Those two new models will replace Black Mamba and King Cobra joysticks. Gladiator Pro is an ultimate version
of mass-production joystick which will be soon available, featured new generation metal gimbal of VKB, better
sensors, more controls etc. It is offered for sim pilots who likes to have all controls on the same base.
Gunfighter joystick is meant for sim pilots who prefers HOTAS-like systems and for cockpit builders.
Both models are in plans for production in Q3/Q4 2016.

There will be only a "Vintage" Version of the Black Mamba,again in limited numbers http://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/19913-introducing-vkb-vintage-fat-black-mamba-joystick/. There will be most likely no new production run of the Black Mamba Mk.3,reason beeing that the Grip used for it is made by 3rd party producer and is not aviable anymore.

Anyhow,if you contact the European site by Email they are sometimes slow to respond. But it's a reliable site,if you order something in the shop it ships usually within a week.
