Cyph3r Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 Are you planning a collective-like stick instead of a throttle quadrant for us rotor-heads? We have already created our roadmap for the next 1-1.5 years and while we currently do not have a plan to produce a collective, the future holds many possibilities! ► 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!

Ghoul Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Cool stuff. I think I'm gonna preorder the handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixen Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I think you guys should investigate if there is a market for making your base compatible with the warthog grip, because I think there is. The products look awesome anyway and when the first reviews are in, you might have a future customer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cichlidfan Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Any updates on preorders? I put in for the desk mounts, but haven't received anything back outside of the initial response. I did the same for the base and received the Thank You response. Then, a few days ago, I get a message saying that I never responded to the shipping address request, which I did not receive (not in Spam folder either), telling me that if I did not respond my order would be cancelled the following day (nice short fuse warning). I did respond, sending my shipping info, and I have not received anything to indicate that they got that message. So far I am not impressed by their communication process.

Had the same response from them but after I replied to them saying that I already sent them the address for getting the shipping costs (fwd'ed last email as well) then they replied saying they had received my last email. I think that they are too busy with the production and shipping...

cichlidfan Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I think that they are too busy with the production and shipping... There is no excuse for not communicating with the people that you need to keep you in business. I also consider a one day notice, by email, before cancelling an order to be ridiculous. I still don't know if my order is in the queue, or not, and I am beginning to not care. They seem to have time for this forum, Facebook and Twitter, but not enough time for people who want to send them money. Go figure.

*Rage* Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I think the tone has gotten a bit harsh. Give em a break. I dont mind a delay if the hardware is top notch - which all indications suggest it will be. They said end of February. Allow them some leeway, theyre a startup which we should support if we can.

Been checking my junk folder as well. 1st response came through no problem. If they don't want my business I guess I can go with Monstertech. Costs more, but if I can order now a few months of lead time is worth some cash.

Doesn't seem like they wanted to give me a break. ... theyre a startup which we should support if we can. I am trying to support them. They are the ones resisting my efforts.

Nash Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I am sure that they will take this as a feedback... There's is a new company... Let's support them for the good of community if nothing else... I think they are good and honest folks and need our support and patience for this initial period... Most of us had a bad experience with that Hegykc guy who doesn't even bother to respond on his own thread. These guys have been communicating well albeit a bit late at times but alls well... 1 Check Six!!!__ ||R7-2700X||ASUS ROG STRIX-X470F Gaming||GSKILL-TridentZRGB 16GBDDR4 3200C14||CORSAIR RM 1000X||SAPPHIRE RX 7900 XTX 24GB OC||WARTHOG HOTAS|| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyph3r Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share Posted February 26, 2017 Hi all, I'm very sorry for those who have had an issue with my communication. I know our current setup isn't ideal. I was not aware some people had not received the initial shipping request email - I will be looking into this. Furthermore, I've taken in what you've all had to say and the next step is that I will be sending confirmation emails to all users I have received a response from. The deadline of course will not apply to anyone who has any problems with our communication, don't worry! As VPC grows we will be better equipped to handle the large amount of communication we have to deal with.

Bearfoot Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 @chichlidfan, Would you mind sharing what criteria/features/reasoning went into your decision to get this rather than the upcoming VKB offering? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlidfan Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 (edited) @chichlidfan, Would you mind sharing what criteria/features/reasoning went into your decision to get this rather than the upcoming VKB offering? I have a VKB Gladiator Pro. I bought it because they had said that there would be a Warthog adapter for it. They changed their mind on the adapter, making the stick virtually useless to me. I have not even assembled it. I no longer have any interest in anything from VKB, for that reason.

Bearfoot Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I have a VKB Gunfighter Pro. I bought it because they had said that there would be a Warthog adapter for it. They changed their mind on the adapter, making the stick virtually useless to me. I have not even assembled it. I no longer have any interest in anything from VKB, for that reason. Oh. I thought that the Gunfighter Pro was only going to be made available next month and that there was a Warthog adapter for it? Am I mistaken? Or did you get access to an advanced copy, and this copy is incompatible with the adapter?

dburne Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I wonder are these VPC sticks going to be distributed out similar to what VKB does? Like pre-order, sometimes pre-orders only filled with no in stock availability, limited production runs, change model, rinse and repeat...
