Vincent90 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Alongside the VPC MT-50, there is the VPC Desk Bracket. This bracket aims to bring a cockpit like – centre mounted stick experience to everyone. It will mount to pretty much any desk with a thickness between 2cm and 6cm. Once again as with the VPC MT-50 itself, the VPC Desk Bracket is very adjustable to suit you exactly as you need it. The height drop from the desk can be adjusted from a ~36cm drop up to a ~12cm drop. I have a 10cm thick table edge, will this mean I won't be able to mount the MT-50?

LeCuvier Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 The MT-50 grip, extensions, desk brackets and TM mounting plates will be available when the store opens. The MT-50 base will be available in May! Thanks for being specific!

LeCuvier Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I'm just realizing how the MT-50 base is mounted to the desk bracket. This will not work with my Monstertech desk brackets. Does the MT-50 base have threaded holes in its bottom (like the TM WH joystick base)?

Yes there are 4 threaded holes, one in each corner, than can be used to mount onto other brackets/setups! ► 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!

98abaile Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) In response to those curious about the stability of the VPC Desk Bracket: Damn, that is impressively robust! What are the extension pieces made out of. I assume my current warthog extension would work, but lighter pieces might be nicer.

aaron886 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Cypher, since it sounds like the throttle is still in its infancy, here are some humble suggestions. In order for me to be interested in purchasing a VPC throttle over my HW throttle, it would need: No play or wiggle in the axes Hall or MRS, no potentiometers Metal switches, not cheap plastic ones as in the concept renders Switches make one press per direction (no "release" actions, please!) A simple metal base, the "brushed" look in the render is cheesy Replace the single red thumb button on the throttle with another two or four-way hat... I seriously think no HOTAS sold should feature less button combinations than the HOTAS Warthog. Matching the high functionality of it and similar Western HOTAS should ensure that no aircraft is "left behind" by your hardware A pinky switch for master lights control (found in nearly all western fighters and jet trainers) I'm not a big fan of the square plastic buttons, but I understand this is just an Eastern design convention and makes sense when using the T-50 HOTAS as a template.

I understand that this is, more or less, a rough draft of the throttle design, but it may have just made my short list for replacing the X-55 throttle I'm using now. :joystick: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Rage* Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 My WH throttle is playing up and I'm interested in the VPC throttle. I'd encourage them to go for the X65 style throttle handles and go crazy on the buttons and rotaries:) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 64th "Scorpions" Aggressor Squadron Discord: 64th Aggressor Squadron TS: 195.201.110.22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobac Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 It would be good if the throttle had at least two rotaries with a button in the middle. :smartass: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]Everything is possible ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyph3r Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 The throttle is still in development so we want to hear from you guys how we can make it as epic as possible!

LeCuvier Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) I own the TM WH throttle and it's not bad. What I don't like: 1. the switches forward from the RH throttle lever are difficult to find/access. 2. The slew control is difficult to use when you need accuracy and speed. 3. The thing is awfully heavy. Probably good when it's just sitting on top of your desk, but a nuisance when you put it on desk brackets. For people who want it heavy, you might use optional steel plates as "ballast". 4. Lack of pushbuttons and toggle switches in the base (I have bought a FLT2 button box from DSD to fill the gap). What I would like: More axis controls in the base. A challenge: make the throttle so that, between the T-50 and the future throttle, you can fly the AJS37 Viggen with all its weapon and sensor systems incl. Radar Stick and RB05 Stick.
