Introducing the VPC MongoosT-50


Cyph3r

Recommended Posts

Beautiful cockpit! The MongoosT-50 fits right in! :pilotfly:

 

 

 

 

Loved the video Wright_GR1! I'm disappointed about your spare palm wrist though, I'll be in touch with you about this!

 

 

p.s. It's BYN (New Belarusian Ruble) not BGN (Bulgarian Lev)!

 

 

 

 

Check your email Nash ;)

Roger...

Checked and sent you a PM...

You know, this is the first time I order something out of the European market.

 

Hey Pelmo,

Just a request...:helpsmilie:

Is it possible for you to post another screenshot like the earlier one above showing the shipment progress so that we have some indication of the shipment process while tracking our orders?

This is the first time most of us are ordering something out of Belarus.

Thanks ...:)

 

Anyone who has received their orders can help the rest of us with this if possible ... :smilewink:

Because I was a pre-orderer the actual website was still going through the registration process so my purchase was slightly different (done over email essentially)

 

If its any help my order still shows pending on the Virpil website!

Just wanted to drop a couple of lines about the grip and say thank you.

 

Im using it on a BRD-DS base, center mounted. Before I was using a warthog grip like most people. The small travel on the hats is really nice. The light weight of the grip makes the BRD base waaay more precise and feels more realistic than the warthog grip which is too heavy.

Packaging, detail ec.t everything seems great. Will be getting the their stick-base too!

Glad to hear you're enjoying the MongoosT-50 Grip on the BRD-DS! :joystick:

SpeedStick - what is your opinion of BRD-DS base? I heard Bauer stuff is really good, so just wonder why would you want to change it.

 

Cyph3r - is there any way to add your desk mount to my existing order of base? I've looked at ordering it separately, but shipping costs just as much the mount itself...

Sorry if already asked, but any plan to make US fighter HOTAS replica? F/A-18 maybe?

 

By the way, I like the concept of your desk mount..

I love it. It's great. I'm not changing it. Just adding more stuff. Also want the function of analog brake lever. And once you try something else than the "shitty" (subjective opinion) quality of most joysticks, you kinda wanna see and feel all the good stuff.

VPC will not be stopping with just the MongoosT-50, but it is too soon to tell. After the complete MongoosT-50 set is out we'll have some very exciting announcements!

 

 

How soon will the base units start shipping?

 

Current E.T.A is late-May. I hope to have some more concrete dates in the next week or so!

This will sound like a broken record, but you guys should definitely consider F-15/F-18 grip - just look at the following the old Suncom Talon joystick gets...

Interesting. Looks good overall, but I must say, I am a tad disappointed by the plug just coming out with bare cables. I can think of much better ways of allowing for twisting the grip into position. Kind of a bit of a let down for what is, really a fairly high end product. I still think it looks good overall, but it seems there is always some little thing that keeps us from the "perfect stick".

I was glad the plug pulled out of the grip, I would never have been able to attach it to my Warthog extension if it had not.

Odd - would think it's easier if were attached (like the Warthog grip/base) Still, will wait and see, as I am awaiting my grip and base - very much looking forward to having them in my grubby paws.

Exactly the same with me, personally I feel being able to pull the connector out makes it a lot easier to connect/disconnect!

My gear all arrived yesterday well packed no problem very pleased. I like the Grip but actually I was most impressed with the desk mounts. Got called out to work so no more photos for now I only had time to get my Warthog throttle on its plate and attached to the desk, very secure I have a half inch thick curved safety glass desk and wasn't sure how secure it would attach, but went on rock solid. Definitely need the gimbal for the brake axis hope it ships soon as it will make a massive difference.

Just a suggestion..

 

I would recommend teasing the community with whats coming in the future. I for one am on the fence between the T-50 and VKB pro or go for the old Warthog. There are several others here watching the initial impressions of quality, customer support and upcoming products. Grab the new customers while you can . Keep up the great work..

Yeah, for example i like the VPC mounting kit better, but the new MCG Pro stick looks very tempting. I'm going to wait a bit more with my purchase until the initial dust settles and more info will be revealed on upcoming projects.

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
