They haven't shipped all the pre-orders yet. Probably some time before more are available.

It's next week, anyone hear anything about their shipment?

The last few pre-release versions no longer exhibit this problem for me. Opentrack is free, still being developed by the programmer, and I have used it for over two years. If you go to the Opentrack Wiki, https://github.com/opentrack/opentrack/wiki, there are links to detailed methods of setting up Opentrack. I haven't used facetracknoir in a long time. Try both and use whatever works best for you!

:) I don't mind waiting my turn, but I'm not giving up my spot in the line...:thumbup:

I agree with you. However, we live in a world where people want it now, or last week, rather than later. I'm willing to wait, if anyone isn't they can ask for a refund.

Here is a link to the Opentrack wiki: https://github.com/opentrack/opentrack/wiki There is a quickstart link, and a link to a more detailed explanation on setting up Opentrack.

It was a couple of months back when Virpil stated they had changed the thread locking compound to one with less grip. Still, I agree that maybe the screws need to be changed also. I have one of the early ones and have not had the courage to try and change the cams, at least not yet.

You should be able to contact your post office and request that packages be held there for pick-up.

Not sure where you are located, but when I received my T50 here in Virginia it had to be signed for, if no one was home they would have left a notice that the package was at the post office.

Beautiful finish and a beautiful model!

IIRC the base was not designed to withstand any direct pressure, hence no bottom mount. I think someone else was successful mounting in the opposite direction and reversing the axis. The new WarBRD mount is designed for flat mounting. https://virpil.com/en/shop/sticks/vpc-warbrd-vpc

You can't mount the base directly to the surface, it's not designed to be bottom mounted. You can see in the photo how I constructed a mount that keeps the bottom of the base slightly above the flat wood surface.

From the Virpil blog: Small scale production has already started at our factory, and shipments will start sooner - but as everything comes together and the final pieces are put in place we will ramp up to full production on July 9th after which the bulk of pre-order shipments will be dispatched. So, it would seem some may be sent earlier.

I can't find the pic now showing the embossed diamond pattern that the throttle handles now have. Someone from virpil, probably cyph3r, commented that they had limited smooth throttle handles and you could e-mail virpil to request those if you had pre-ordered. Dang, I hate when I cannot find something. Found it, on their facebook page.

One of those bugs/glitches that drives you crazy!

Stange, mine is connected through a powered hub and is fine. Also, I think Virpil recommends that you do not use the windows game controller, just use their software.

When I pre-ordered the throttle I had all kinds of issues with making the payment. I kept e-mail contact with Virpil and eventually everything got sorted out. When I purchased the T-50 last year it went smoother.

+1, same here, Thanks ED!

Strange, went back into the site and now the quoted price is $343.95, in the cart. Probably just some bugs associated with updating the store.

Put one in "my cart" and with the 10% discount $399.43, not including shipping.

Is the pre-order discounted price for the throttle correct? $400.00 USD? I thought this was corrected before, or I could be wrong.

Quite a surprise, and like you, I may have to pass. If the pre-order discount for T-50 owners is 15%, that would be $60.00 less. Well pre-orders don't start until the 16th, still some time to think about ordering one.

This has been sold.
