fitness88 Posted November 15, 2018 Author Share Posted November 15, 2018 An VirPil base don't change much this picture: From VirPil blog. Nominally is 16 bits, but in practice - joystick angle movement is less, but more than your hands can control. :) https://virpil.com/en/blog/45-mongoost-50-electronics So does the Virpil WarBRD base plate get included or it's a separate purchase item. How does DCS handle HOTAS toggle switches that hold their position when flipped and don't auto toggle back to center? Is there some conflict in mapping?

I think the warbrd has an included base plate but I have the older t50. i7 8700k @ 4.7, 32GB 2900Mhz, 1080ti, CV1 Virpil MT-50\Delta, MFG Crosswind, Warthog Throttle, Virptil Mongoost-50 throttle.

Ala12Rv-Tundra Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 They are just flush against a wall. They have a pair of prongs that create a few inches distance, no issue with cables etc. Since I'm using an office chair though, for now, I tied two hooks to my armrests with some rope. That I attach to the cat's eye hooks on the mounts. Here's a quick pic of my setup back when I was running the delta grip, but after I got the throttle.

Is there some conflict in mapping? No conflict, but only A-10C have native support for this kind of switch for Warthog HOTAS. For other planes/sticks you need edit LUA files adding action for OFF state of switches, or use an keymapper, e.g. Joystick Gremlin, JoyTokey...

Thanks, I'll be sure to make certain the base plate is included if I decide to go that direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sokol1_br Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 WarBRD came with 'X' base plate - removable. T50 base never have this option. https://virpil-controls.eu/pub/media/catalog/product/cache/e4d64343b1bc593f1c5348fe05efa4a6/v/p/vpc-106_05.png https://virpil-controls.eu/vpc-warbrd-base.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

some1 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 There's T-50 grip, T-50CM grip, left handed T-50 grip and T-50 base. He's talking about the base, not grip. Hardware: VPForce Rhino, FSSB R3 Ultra, Virpil T-50CM, Hotas Warthog, Winwing F15EX, Slaw Rudder, GVL224 Trio Throttle, Thrustmaster MFDs, Saitek Trim wheel, Trackir 5, Quest Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dburne Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 T-50 base is no longer available, take that out of the line of thinking. Only WarBRD base, and it comes with the plate. There are T-50 grips to choose from, as well as Warthog grip can be used. With Warthog grip can not use Paddle as an axis, only a button. T-50 Grip has an axis on the paddle as well as button press.

chief Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 The VPC MongoosT-50 Grip mounts to the VPC WarBRD base...so are you saying when ordered in this configuration the X plate is not available? That is exactly what I ordered. Yes you DO get the base plate with the WarBRD base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sokol1_br Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 (edited) The VPC MongoosT-50 Grip mounts to the VPC WarBRD base...so are you saying when ordered in this configuration the X plate is not available? Is not this, VPC baseplate is depend on base option, not in grip option. You buy a WarBRD will receive the 'X' baseplate for optional desktop use, then can use in that base T50, T50CM, Delta - purchased together or individually or Warthog/Cougar grips. What I say is that T50 base (discontinued for a while) don't offer baseplate option. Is not practical in that base.

fitness88 Posted November 18, 2018 Author Share Posted November 18, 2018 (edited) Someone I know leant me their TW. A very interesting experience! The accuracy in controlling the aircraft with the stick was quite noticeable. The plane was very smooth flying except for very subtle small movements as there was a bit of stiction there. Flying VR I found the throttle array of buttons not that helpful as for most functions I use the mouse in-cockpit, I would have preferred a couple of rows of programable buttons and toggles in a line for those that are difficult to access in the cockpit. Also I found the stick/spring a bit heavy getting it out of centre. Edited March 2, 2019 by fitness88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel Jaw Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Prices like for the TM WH in Canada are infuriatingly high for no valid reason.

fitness88 Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 Prices like for the TM WH in Canada are infuriatingly high for no valid reason. Canada Computers sells the stick and throttle for $569.00, I don't think you'll get it for much less in the U.S. taking the 40% exchange into account.
