dburne Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 It won't show up in tracking until it clears customs for shipment, usually a few days. Mine appears to be holding at Import office at JFK in New York, hope they are not giving it a test run lol. Been there since Sunday. Guess I am looking at a few more days.

bohemond Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) Mine just was delivered today. As of last nite, that tracking number showed no results when entered. Funny, since I shot off an email last night to Cypher explaining the tracking issue. And... just got a reply from him which I haven't read since I'm typing this post.

dburne Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Well even though mine showed still in JFK New York this morning, apparently USPS tried to deliver it this afternoon and I was not available, so they left a slip on the door. Now I need to sign this slip and mail back to USPS, so they can leave it at my door, so guess I am still a few days away lol. Gotta love it.

Cyph3r Posted August 15, 2017 Author Share Posted August 15, 2017 I'd like to again mention, anyone who receives their MT-50 Flightstick and is not happy with the smoothness of the cams (a visual inspection would reveal any ridges clearly). Email me at sale@virpil.com and we'll get you sorted out with a new set ASAP! While you wait for the new set, it's very simple to smooth out the cams with some 800-1200 grit wet and dry sandpaper! ► Website: www.virpil.com // ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/VirPilControls // ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/VirPilControls For support please email support@virpil.com to open a ticket!

mx22 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) I've got mine earlier today - picked it up on my way to work from the post office and had no chance to plug it in yet. That said, mine is missing extra springs - I'll email VirPil later, after I can test the joystick itself. So what one does on a lunch hour? Well, of course, takes the base apart to change cams. All looked good until I had to change the pitch cam. That thing is a struggle. I couldn't get it in place with my hands - call me a weak office worker. Had to think what to do and ended up flipping joystick upside down, wrapping allen wrench in tissue, putting it across the cam and applying gentle (but firm) pressure from the top. I wonder if VirPil should either redesign the cam or perhaps it would make sense to disassemble the joystick further to where you have better access to the parts - it seemed doable and I seriously thought about it, but figured I didn't want to do it without talking to VirPil first as I was afraid to get things out of alignment.

Lenux Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I have some questions about this joystick, guys ( owners) Please help me How many buttons are, in total? How is the quality? Are the buttons loud, quiet? If i order it, do I have to order the base, too, or it's possible to use some other brands base?

Vladinsky Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 It has the same amount of inputs as the warthog(23) but they're distributed differently, fewer hats but more single buttons, with the VPC base you get an extra axis on top of that. The grip is very well made, doesn't flex noticeably unless you put some real force on it. The buttons are all pretty light with a short throw and a definite "click" to them, not terribly loud though.
