Lucky Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Good to hear. I received the invoice for the throttle the other day. Hopefully not too long now. Of course I still have several other pieces to wait for.

dburne Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I don't have any notification or tracking number yet. Maybe soon, I think I ordered pretty early on.

I have gotten no email notification, however when I sign in to the Virpil site and check my order status, it says status is shipped but no shipment date. When I choose to track it only shows a small screen saying shipped. I guess the process has begun so hopefully it is on the way or will be shortly. Edit: Ok I just got the email from Virpil saying status is shipped, so I assume it is shipping today. I so look forward to getting it, only thing I dread is having to go back in and assign my controller settings again. That is ok though, should be well worth it.

imacken Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Guys, importing your CM2 profile in DCS for each module will only take about 5-10 minutes in total! Assuming the CM3 buttons have the same numbers, of course.

imacken Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) Honestly, it's not difficult. You just run the VPC software and go to the Firmware tab. (Assuming you have the latest version, of course.) I guess you're looking at one of Havoc's videos here (117) Joystick/Throttle Tutorials - YouTube These vidoes are incredibly useful, but just be aware that some of them use very outdated versions of the software and the options are different. Also, he does use the original throttle which has differences too. However, the videos are very informative and I would highly recommend looking at them all. Obviously, go here Downloads : VIRPIL Controls Support Center (freshdesk.com) to get the software/firmware.

dburne Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Mine is currently scheduled to arrive tomorrow the 7th via Fed Ex. Will I finally be able to retire my Warthog throttle? Sure hoping so!
