Cyph3r Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 3rd August 2017 // Announcement No. 19 ►VPC MongoosT-50 Flightstick & Base Pre-orders Shipping Now! After much anticipation, and tireless around-the-clock work from every member of the VPC team, we are pleased to announce that the VPC MongoosT-50 Flightstick and Base pre-orders are shipping as of today! To recap, the delays were caused after some tolerance issues had been discovered by our QA team after the first batch of pre-orders were dispatched a number of weeks ago. While the VPC MongoosT-50 was still a great Flighstick in this state, we ultimately decided to recall these units to ensure that our pre-order customers receive nothing else except the latest and greatest revision of the VPC MongoosT-50. The last couple of weeks our designers and QA team have worked very closely with our partner factories to resolve these issues. The hard word has paid off as we now have in our hands, a version of the VPC MongoosT-50 Base which is even better than originally designed! As mentioned in our previous announcements, we are offering a number of perks to our pre-order customers for the delays. All orders for the VPC MongoosT-50 Flightstick and VPC MongoosT-50 Base placed before July 21st 2017 will be counted as a pre-order. The perks offered will include: Free VPC Dust Cover 10% Coupon Code for http://www.virpil.by Special Pricing on the VPC MongoosT-50 Throttle and VPC Stealth Rudders We will be dispatching orders at a rate that will see the huge amount of pre-orders fulfilled within 5-8 working days. Shipping notifications will be emailed at the end of the day which will including an EMS Express shipping number. Please keep an eye on your spam folder just in case! Thank you everyone for your patience, the supportive messages from many of you have been great! We have learnt a lot from everyone’s input on how we can better handle our future product releases. See you all in the skies soon! :pilotfly: ► 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!

Esac_mirmidon Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Let me ask something. The brake lever is working like a real lever? I mean, its possible to make it work like an axis and use it like a real brake? For example, the more you push the stronger the brake effect, or is like a button with two positions 0%-100% brake?

I mean, its possible to make it work like an axis and use it like a real brake? For example, the more you push the stronger the brake effect, or is like a button with two positions 0%-100% brake? Yes that's absolutely possible! On the VPC MongoosT-50 Base it works as both an axis 0-100% and/or a button press. However, on the TM Warthog Base it works as a button press. ► 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!

Vladinsky Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Very nice, so we are going to be able to bind and use the brake button and axis at the same time? Any news on the software? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barefoot Bandit Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Hello Cyph3r, how is it that customers who have ordered the stick after me have already received the shipment notification? I ordered it on the same day that it was possible to make the preorder on 12-04-2017. I ordered on the 13th and no notification yet. It's just a few days, it's so close now there is no need to stress about it. It'll come when it comes. Z... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc_neo Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 a short question concerning the standalone grip. Is there anyway to connect hte grip directly to the pc without the Virpil base or Warthog base? I've got the t.16000m and therefor have a lack of buttons and switches. The stick-base combo is more what i can spend atm and getting the grip only would be a good start provided you can hook it up directly to the pc somehow. Any idea on that?

Barefoot Bandit Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 And just like that, I now have a notification. :thumbup: Z... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winger Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 uh? Even if it was possible - and I think it could probably be achieved due to the nature of the connector - you would lack the X and Y axis. The grip only for its buttons? Well. Original thought. Grats Bandit. Still waiting...:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
