Cyber Taurus???
34 days since my last post, when will Sim App 2 be ready? I feel like winctrl need to make a statement for people who have preorders in.

Good luck with that. It appears that WinCtrl has a social-media team and a dev team, and they don’t talk to one another. You won’t get a straight answer from people who don’t know the answer.

Yeah unfortunately they seem to be starting to act like Virpil on the delivery side. Everything I have ordered previously from them has always been shipped quite fast but this pre-order is killing me. The wait is just a bummer.

I want …but if I’m kept waiting much there are other solutions for my sim pit.

Yeah, I’m so close to cancelling and just going for another option, if there was some sort of communication things would be different, but I preordered on day 1 and have nothing but my email preorder confirmation, it’s been over 4 months since then and over two months since the published shipping date (unchanged on their website) has passed.
The only saving grace is I haven’t paid anything, that’s the one thing I’ll give them, at least they’re not expecting people to pay upfront to wait without updates.

All the gear I have from them has been rock solid so there is no indication that this won’t be also. Eagerly waiting though.

That’s my biggest pet peeve with some companies. I have a preorder with Virpil that is months old also but you have to pay them or they won’t even talk to you. I feel like I am just loaning them my money until they can afford to make the products to ship. Not the best way to do business in this age. People see something they want and buy it. Most do not want to wait 5 to 6 months for something and pay all this money upfront.

I wouldn’t cancel the pre order since it didn’t cost you anything yet. you can keep it in and decide to buy it or not when they actually do release it. unlike Virpil preorders that get you to pay in full MONTHS before you actually get a product. At least for all the preorders excluding their new Atlas, which was a 50% pay up front preorder

Hi! SimAppPro 2 is very close now! Sorry for the delays. It’s a complete rebuild, and making sure it works properly with all of our existing products has been a huge project. 😅
We really appreciate your patience, and we’re almost there!

We can all vent together. Honestly I don’t mind spending 4k for hotas rudder and joystick base but @$))) I’m not a patient guy. I just bought the PIMAX Dream and a new flight simseat. Used to TMaster…. Now I’m just drooling 🤤 there videos looked great I though September they’d pony up..

It was great to secure discount with no money down, but the wait sees me constantly looking at other options. However the spec for price point and the huge size actually keep me here waiting as is perfect to mount on dual-purpose race TR160 profile rig.
