Cyph3r Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) I said it once and I'll upgrade my statement. I believe I just got the FlightSim equivalent of a raging hard-on. :gun_smilie: Just ran across this thread, this all looks very interesting! I look forward to hearing more in the future. Thanks guys! Cyhp3r, Great looking flight stick, does it come with any kind of management software (I.E. Thrustmaster Target) ? Does VPC have any North American based retailers for it ? Looking at the stick also have a question; the flip out trigger how easy is that to repair? I can see that getting pulled on a little to hard and snapping off. Thanks We will have our own configuration utility which will be revealed in a future announcement. Currently we do not have any NA retailers, but it is something we will look into. We will be providing worldwide shipping from the virpil.com webstore however! Regarding the repairability, we feel the high quality nature of our grip should should negate these concerns! But I'll bring this up, alongside your other button layout comments to our engineers! will the stick come with a base this Feb? Or just stick with TM adapter? The VPC MongoosT-50 Grip + TMWH Adapter will be available in February for €159,00 The complete VPC MongoosT-50 Flightstick (grip + base) will be available in March for €289,00 Edited January 7, 2017 by Cyph3r ► 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!

Sokol1_br Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Also looking at the design and comparing it to the TM Warthog and X-55 layouts. This seems to offer a great cross aircraft joystick layouts. If they were going to make a mark 2 or a new version. I would only make 2 suggestions to give it better function for the A-10 (which is the only aircraft I can see it having layout issues with), is to change the middle two way switch to a four way switch, and the thumb switch on the side to a 5 way switch. (Four way plus depress). This would make it usable in any DCS aircraft. For a non Warthog compatible version this is maybe practical - depends on internal space for increase Shift Register chips on circuit. But for use in Warthog base no, their limit is 24 buttons (3x CD4021), this "A-10'ish" HAT will exceed this limit. Seems has 2 buttons left on actual layout.

Weegie Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 This does look so good, haven't seen anything coming close to this except VKB. Another question if you would be so kind How much will the base be to purchase separately? The reason for the question is to decide on if I purchase the grip first, then the base separately OR wait until the full assembly is available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_mojo97 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 But do you have a price on the base itself (if I don't want to buy your grip) And do you have a price on the TM Warthog adaptor? Because I like my Warthog grip over yours. And your base with that metal gimble looks awesome.

Because I like my Warthog grip over yours. And your base with that metal gimble looks awesome. Thanks mate Currently this is not possible as we do not have an adapter to use the TM Warthog grip on our base. Our TMWH adapter to is to use our grip on the TM Warthog base. Using the TM Warthog grip on our base would require designing a new set of cams and extension. If there is enough demand for such an adapter though we will definitely consider it! Can you give us info about shipping? We will be offering worldwide shipping from our webstore at http://www.virpil.com. More info on shipping pricing, times etc will be confirmed at a later date!

mr_mojo97 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Never saw but did you say you'll be looking to do different grips to go with your base for maybe WW2 aircraft, or will this be the only grip you produce?

Thermal Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Cool concept! Will you (or could you) do a right hand grip? Star Citizen and Elite:Dangerous might be a large market - thats an immediate use case for me to buy a T-50 base and grip - not as a replacement to my working TMWH (a replacement is harder to justify since the TMWH I have works just fine).

Cheers We will be producing more grips in the future. Another modern fighter stick as well as a WW2 grip are on the table. This is all I can say right now though! Cool concept!

*Rage* Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 With the extended stick will you mount it with an offset to allow ergonomic right handed centre mounting (say 30deg)?
