Pre-orders will start shipping the last week of February. The EU distribution center is planned to open in April.

When will the pre-order confirmation emails be sent out? I have yet to receive mine if already sent. If not yet, then when can we expect them?

Cyph3r, Is it possible to add more items to the Pre-order we placed already?

I got one right after I ordered that stated the following.

"In the near future we will contact you to confirm your pre-order before shipping."

Is that the one you are referring too? If so, I was referring to the order confirmation email and payment steps that seemed to be coming after. I have nothing in my spam/junk folder and Virpil is set to safe sender. Got the 1st email with no issue.

Yes that one and one more in the past week to confirm the size of the TMW extension although I had clearly mentioned 75 mm in my pre-order...

But that at least tells me that they are taking stock and getting ready to ship

Yes! If you PM me with any additions you want I'll be able to sort it out for you.

We'll be sending out payment/shipping confirmation emails in the near future!

I'd love to order one of these but I'm afraid that the 15º stick deflection is going to be too small for a desktop side mounted joystick. Making some rough measurements, it looks like 15º would be perfect for a floor center mounted stick with an extension, but too short a throw for a side mount with no extension.

I'd love to see a video showing the range of left/right movement of one of these units without an extension, if someone would care to make one when you receive your T-50.

Even in their desktop form, T-50 is equivalent a grip with extension, see this drawing, is similar to TmW with 7.5~10cm extension.

Drawing not done by VirPil, but considered by then accurate for the purpose.

20º like TmW or 30º+like CH will result in much linear movement of grip top.

Generally when people add extension in TmW they tend use less movement to achieve more precise control - the resulting decrease in controller resolution don't matter because the controller has more resolution than is usable.

The stick itself seems to be rather long, have a look here: https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/26939-announcing-project-vpc-mongoost-50/?p=436139

A 15° deflection should do well.

^original poster was quicker than me.;)

@Sokol, I hope it`s ok that I linked your post here.

Hi Cyph3r,

I just received some shipping information request mails from VPC, so that the shipping costs for my preorders can be calculated and to finalize the preorder.

Should I answer to one of them, to all of them?

I really would appreciate a section on VPC homepage where I could have a kind of account and where I would be able to have an overview of my orders etc. At the moment there is only the profile for the forums as far as I understand?

Hi Ram,

Just reply to the one will be fine! Everything is a bit manual at the moment until our webshop is up and running, so I may have accidently included your email in 2 lots of notifications. Apologies!

As I said though, once our webshop is up and running (soon!) you will be able to view all this information :)

If anyone has placed a pre-order and doesn't receive a shipping information request email at some point today, please let me know!

Thanks for your response Cyph3r! Ok I will reply to the mail and will be waiting patiently for the upcoming webshop.;)

Just in case: I had this mail in my Gmail Spam Folder so you might want to check it in case you received nothing! ;)

Any news on shipping for the pre-order? Really looking forward to that grip.

Bummer, missed the pre-order! :-)

good luck with your product!

Hi SpeedStick, if you placed a pre-order with us you should have received an email requesting you to confirm your shipping address. We will be sending out payment requests this week!

yeah I replied to the e-mail with the shipping info. Just curious as to when one can expect to receive the order, that's all! So when do you expect to ship?

When can we expect more news of supporting program for programming the joystick buttons and switches. :joystick:

The VPC configuration utility will be released alongside the VPC MongoosT-50 base in March.

Will you sell controllers for DIY?

Will you sell just gimbal ?
