Introducing the VPC MongoosT-50

WEEEEE !!

My T-50 will be deliverd today. Just got info from my local post :)

Congrats, HaukKa!

Yesterday I had to pick up my T-50 base and the desk mount from the customs office.

You will love it!;)

Any news of when the warBRD will be available? I have been waiting to put an order in for a T-50 and that base. Buttons on my warthog throttle are also going haywire so I would also be interested in the new throttle too.

Really looking forward to the new throttle here, hoping it will not be too much longer.

Its here, damm this thing is awesome.

Congrats Haukka81, very nice. I'm on my 2nd, it should be here in a week or two, friend bought my first one. Any plans on switching cams/springs? If so PM me, I have some great videos archived on how to do that easily. In fact, i'll just link them here.

Springs are no longer colour coded since December if I recall correctly!

► VIRPIL Controls Developments 2018

As many of you have noted over the past few weeks, the VPC team have been rather quiet compared to usual - however, this is not due to us taking a break! We have been working on some very exciting developments ahead of the release of our upcoming product releases.

Introducing the Official VIRPIL Controls Production Factory

Say hello to the brand new VIRPIL Controls production factory! In our endeavour to create the best flightsim controls available, we have been working behind the scenes to open our own production factory in Belarus. We will be able to control every aspect of prototyping and production including metalworking, plastic casting, electronics installation, mechanical assembly, testing and ordering.

This will ensure that we can maintain the highest production quality and speeds than previously possible!

Our factory is scheduled to open April 2018.

Introducing the VIRPIL Controls EU Official Webstore!

Another new development that we’ve been working on behind the scenes is our much demanded, new VIRPIL Controls EU webstore.

Orders to our VPC EU webstore will be dispatched from our Lithuanian warehouse, with VAT and customs duty already included and will feature cheaper, and faster delivery to EU destinations via DPD.

We will also be accepting payment through PayPal and the usual online card methods through a secure online payment gateway.

We will announce the official opening date of the VPC EU Webstore in the near future!

What does this mean for our upcoming products?

Our VPC MongoosT-50 Throttle, VPC Constellation Delta Grip and VPC WarBRD are very close to official release - however, our main efforts have been devoted to the opening of our factory and EU webstore. We want to usher in a new era of VPC with these developments to ensure that we can provide the best experience possible for our customers!

Stay tuned for further news,

VPC Team

Congratulations on the new factory, are those BRD pedals in the background or something new?

Very good news!!:thumbup:

That's great news! Will PayPal payment be also available for US customers? Very much looking forward to a warBRD and a t50 grip.

Would be great if you could ship orders made a month ago - maybe behind the scenes, just saying ;)

Nice factory, btw.

Nice factory, btw.

All existing orders are still on track with our listed order processing times - if you have any specific concerns, please email support@virpil.com with your order number and I'll be able to clarify :thumbup:

Those would be BRD F2's and F3's. Seeing as Baur and Virpil are working together, it is not too crazy to suggest a VPC pedal set up based on those.

Excellent stuff re the factory Cyp3r! Sometimes, if you want it done right, you just have to do it yourself!

Feedback on the T-50 Base

I received my T-50 Base last week, and have given it some sim time, and also swapped the springs over.

It definitely is a step up on the Thrustmaster base.. even after I polished up the TM.. the Virpil is better especially with the extension tubes (which were much better quality than I was expecting) and stiffer springs. Really feels smooth, especially around the center.

I only got 1 pair of springs with it, and have had issues with the threading on the internal frame mountings being sub-par. Nothing I can't fix without my own workshop tools but it was a surprise to find the threads in poor condition. If I have to take it apart again, likely have to recut threads.

The internals are brilliant and robust. I'm really impressed by how sturdy it is. Hope it holds up to years of use..

In the sim, rolling in and lining up a gun run is completely intuitive and faultless. A real big change! Will try in-flight refuelling next

Oh dear - while I'm really glad to hear you're happy, I'm definitely not glad to hear you're missing some springs/threading issues. Can you please contact me via support@virpil.com so I can get this resolved? :joystick:

My order (2nd one) is on the way as well now, a few days early, tracking says it was posted on the 23 or March which is in fact ahead of schedule by a few days.

Great news about the new shop for Virpil, this can only streamline their productivity and have a positive effect for us, the end users. Great looking sign on the building too, very pro.

BRD is among the only set of custom peds I don't own (I collect HOTAS, all of them since the early 90s), I have the Crosswinds, VKBs, Slaw (109 Cams), etc, but no BRD yet. If Virpil and BRD collab on a new ped set, they can sign me up for that as well as the throttle and WarBRD. Really after that WarBrd, as I will play DCS/VR with the Virpil Deskmount setup, but for my WW2/AcesHigh online flying, I still prefer to have a desk top setup.

I have the VKB Gunfighter (and all the CH, 2 Warthogs, all the Saiteks, etc etc), for my desktop set up now, but what'd be perfect for me is the WarBRD desktop and T50 desk mount. Watching the site every day for the news that the throttle and Warbrd are for sale. I'd order them now - like pre access games or how DCS sold the F18 module early type deal - if it was possible.

I've really missed my T50 since letting it go to a begging friend - good friend to keep happy, as he's an RCAF pilot, 2500 hours in the Hornet and has flown 5 other fighters in NATO's inventory (Empire test pilot school grad). However, I was just getting used to the T50, and now I have to work that muscle memory over again. Truly a great stick, I've recommended the T50 to a couple other Aces High players, I know one just ordered this last week after my 3 page AAR to him on the forum about mine. Great company to deal with as well.

Those would be BRD F2's and F3's. Seeing as Baur and Virpil are working together, it is not too crazy to suggest a VPC pedal set up based on those.

Those pedals look great, but I'm hoping for a pedal set up similar to VKB because I love how you can use them on a normal office chair without losing accuracy. Also better for helo's.

 

I hope we get a Virpil factory to fly over in DCS as an easter egg haha ;-)
