Introducing the VPC MongoosT-50 CM... 2 Grip!

Hello VIRPILs!

 

We are pleased to announce our next addition to the VIRPIL Controls grip lineup - the VPC MongoosT-50 CM2!

In the almost 2 years of production, our VPC MongoosT-50 grip has gained incredibly popularity amongst atmospheric flight and space flight sim pilots! Over this time we’ve received a number of comments on changes people wanted to see on this grip design.

 

We have listened to the feedback and have made some adjustments to create this new evolution on the MongoosT-50 grip based off our most popular variant, the MongoosT-50 CM:

 

The most notable change has been that the thumb button has now been replaced with a 4-way + push hat. The face hats have been replaced with 2 x 4-way + push hats, and 1 x 8-way + push hats. The index hat has also been upgraded to include a push function on the 2-way hat.

 

The flip trigger has also been modified to include a non-tactile sensor to register a button input when it is in the “up” position.

 

The triggers are now manufactured with an enhanced polyamide material to increase their durability.

 

All hats found on the MongoosT-50 CM2 grip are now high quality ALPs units for increased control and durability. The number of bindable buttons from the original grip has increased from 23 to 35* allowing for greater versatility no matter what aircraft you fly!

The complete control set includes:

 

  • 1 x Dual-stage trigger
  • 1 x Flip trigger (1 x tactile button in the down position and 1 x non-tactile button for up position)
  • 4 x Momentary buttons
  • 3 x 4-way + push hat
  • 1 x 8-way + push hat
  • 1 x 2-way + push hat
  • 1 x Brake lever (analogue axis)

* Note: The increased button count will not be detected by the TMW base.

 

The VPC MongoosT-50CM2 grip will be available for purchase at the end of February 2019 restock (more information available here: https://forum.virpil.com/index.php?/topic/142-worldwide-webstore-restock-date/) for 149.95 EUR.

Nice one, definitely an improvement that should please the fans of modern aicraft.

Great that flip trigger is also a button.

 

Equipping all HATs with a push function sounds a bit overkill, I hope they still give a good tactile feedback.

The key was in the Announcement.

We should get a discount in fact. Its disconcerting that I spent what I spent and now its less than what it was in such a short time. I hope they give a deal to the original supporters of their product fairly. I would like the new stick simply for the button count. In my opinion the new stick is now equal to what I had replaced with their original T50.

Does this mean with the stick on WH or Cougar-Base the Push-function on the multiway hats doesn´t work?

 

BTW, does the stick work on the Cougar-base?

The A10C is exactly why I would upgrade. Making my T50 grip for sale soon.

If the time has come, give me a note and the price you´re asking...

Cyph3r will all 35 buttons be able to work if connected through an mmjoy board? I mean, Mega Mozg works for Virpil, so it's all in the family, riiiight?

 

I have a T-50 base but I also just built a Microsoft FFB2 base with a Warthog adapter and an mmjoy2 arduino mounted internally to run the grip buttons as a separate device. I'm sure I can get this new grip running on the FFB2 in TMW compatibility mode, but dammit man I want all 35 buttons! Thanks much
