skybaby68 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Hi. I’m using the TM Warthog Throttle with the F/A18 Hornet Stick which is mounted to my GT Omega seat and cockpit frame by Obutto base mounts. I’m interested in upgrading my TM base with the VPC WarBRD Base as I’ve read its a good combination with the Hornet grip but apparently the base screw fixing dimensions are different therefore I would need a base mount to connect it to the cockpit frame. Here’s a quick video I made recently showing my setup exampling the base mounts I’m using. Basically I want to know if anyone knows of a WarBRD Base mount out there that connects to a frame. Thanks for any help. i9 14900K - ROG Maximus Z790 Hero - GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4090 - 64GB Kingston Fury Beast DDR5 XMP - Samsung 4TB SSD - Pimax Crystal - Thrustmaster Warthog Throttle & Joystick - VirPil AH-64D Grip - Thrustmaster TPR Pendular Rudder Pedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVgamer72 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Foxx Mount makes an adapter plate if you want something pre-built vs creating your own. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyJoJoJunior Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Wow ������ ... 87 dollars plus international shipping for a single mounting plate. That’s horrendous. Ok thanks Where did you get this price? I find this hard to believe considering Foxx charges 87.50 for a whole mount. i7 6700k @ 4.6, Gigabyte Z170X-UD3, 32GB DDR4 2666, GTX 1070, Rift S | MS Sidewinder FFB2 w/ TM F-22 Pro Grip, TM TWCS Throttle, VKB T-Rudder Mk.

JoeyJoJoJunior Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Straight from their website under ‘cost’ Pair of mounts - $175 Single mount - $87.50 That's not a price for the plate, it's the price for a whole desk mount. Just the adapter plate would be much cheaper. i7 6700k @ 4.6, Gigabyte Z170X-UD3, 32GB DDR4 2666, GTX 1070, Rift S | MS Sidewinder FFB2 w/ TM F-22 Pro Grip, TM TWCS Throttle, VKB T-Rudder Mk.

X-31_VECTOR Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I did a similar switch from a Warthog base to a WarBrd, in my case on a Wheelstand Pro mount. My DIY solution was a piece of 5/8" MDF drilled through (with countersunk holes) for the WarBrd screw pattern. I attached it to the bottom of my WarBrd base using long machine screws (M4 if I recall), then just used wood screws to go up through the Wheelstand Pro Warthog mounting holes into the MDF "base plate." I used a $5 piece of pre-fab MDF shelving, available at any home improvement store. A little paint on the unfinished edges and it didn't even look as hillbilly as it sounds. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungo13 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Hi.

Here’s a quick video I made recently showing my setup exampling the base mounts I’m using. Basically I want to know if anyone knows of a WarBRD Base mount out there that connects to a frame. Thanks for any help. Question: Have you checked the VPC universal base plate? https://virpil-controls.eu/vpc-universal-compact-base-plate.html It would slightly change the footprint - but eventually that can be solved with file ... I do not know how is now your joystick mounted to the stand - whether through the standard holes or some adapter. But this universal baseplate is described to be compatible with the TM Warthog thus it should have 60 x 60 mm screw holes. Probably compatible directly with your stand. Little warning - I googled dimensions just to see and while diagrams shows this plates with 12 holes (I suppose - 4 for Virpil, 4 for TM and 4 for mounting) the picture on their webpage shows only 8 and lacking are the inner ones that should be for TM. Thus check but it could be your way to go. Otherwise buying piece of aluminium plate and looking for the workshop able to drill the proper holes for you should not be a dead end - if you have not tools to do it yourself. I am quite sure that if I send dimensions / drawings to companies that offers laser / plasma / water cuts of the metal and plastic plates it would cost me less than Virpil's plate plus shipping.

It is compatible with the Warthog base as well as with the WarBRD base. I think even with the T50, but not sure on that. I got 2 universal baseplates and bored up the mounting holes to make one match the mount rail of my simrig and the other one to fit stronger M6 screws instead of M5. Not a big deal.
