Thank you so much for this guide I will be setting up my detents today and this info has helped tremendously.

Yeah it took me awhile but finely did it. Thanks

I also use the left slider for the emergency wing sweep handle and it works like a charm. I mainly operate the wings manually. Loving this throttle for sure and now can see why it’s the top dog throttle. Fantastic product and the build is superb I mine excellent !

I did back up the cm2/stick profile before updating the latest Virpil software But I just started from scratch. It was mostly the new throttle I had to bind.

I did it ! And it actually went very well. Love the Throttle but I can’t see myself using all the features it has to offer being just a dogfighter. Hopefully I will venture out to bigger and better things DCS has to offer. I had to revert back to TrackerIR just to rebind which I haven’t used in a long time and man neck is killing me. Thanks for all the help imacken and Videos Havoc. I’m done buying gear ! Rebinding 6 jets ain’t fun !

Great ! Thank you

One more question and I’m sorry it’s a lame one but I gotta get this out. The latest Virpil software 220720 as you mentioned I update on the Virpil site? I have 20210102 at the moment. And then do a Firmware update on my new CM3 throttle and also my CM2 base. I already exported that CM2 profile. I sorry I’m just getting started on this Virpil software and never updated when I got my CM2.

Gotcha ! will do and I sure do appreciate it. I’m 57 and feel like a kid again excited to receive my new toy geeeez! Best Regards

Wait I understand now what your saying I need to check what software i have first then update to the latest/current and hopefully I’m on the current version. I’ll check this evening. According to the version dates I believe I’m on version 20201118. The latest patch update is for the new prime gear so should I update to the 20220720 Patch 1 version ?

Okay great ! well I thought your only suppose to have 1 device hooked up at a time when installing a Virpil device as seen in many videos / manual ? I’ll be adding the new CM3 throttle to my rig and I already have the Virpil software installed when I got my CM2 stick base last year.

@imacken- Okay I understand and will definitely take your advice. I guess before I add the throttle to the software is to do a firmware update and recal ect. the CM2 base then disconnect and add the throttle. I guess the best thing to do is just start all over. I appreciate it.

I've been alittle confused about updating my gpu drivers lately mostly because I think they are for the newer cards/ 4000 series. When I update a gpu driver I write the driver number down and circle it being good sometimes with a star beside it. I'm not a defined tuner like most in here and only go by smoothness more then the numbers. I looked at my sheet of driver numbers and I had a bold circle with a star on that 512.95 driver. I also heard the 457.30 is a great fall back driver.

Thanks Scott , I've had to CM2 stick base for almost a year now and I will be adding the CM3 Throttle in a few days as it just shipped today so I'm just going through a few things before hand and I'm not gonna lie but alittle scared about the Virpil software and I was stuck with the side picking thing LOL ! So, when I update the firmware for the throttle which is like the first step and complete the setup axis and save profile ect. when I add/plug in the CM2 stick base would I have to update the firmware on it also ? Kinda thinking if the throttle has the newest firmware but the CM2 base doesnt will the software tell me so ... to update it? Thanks again

That’s awesome ! I’m curious on the price and availability.

There’s also a setting in there that Lets Windows decide can’t think of it at the moment cause I’m not home but don’t let windows decide on nothing.

Yeah that’s pretty impressive. Thanks for the info I’ll stay tuned.

Right on ! What are your pressue settings ? Pitch and Roll. I like this part " it is quite responsive when you need to make a sharp turn" I usually have Pitch 8.50 Roll 4.06 in a BFM situation but have gone to P-10.30 R 5.00 every once in awhile.

Is it just an upgraded board ? that is used/replaced into the R3L.

Very interesting ! Thanks for your testing and sharing it.

I googled this https://github.com/KhronosGroup/OpenXR-Docs/issues/101

That’s cool your Havoc ! And I be been watching your tutorials already especially when I got my CM2 base … cool !

Oh really ! wow okay Thanks! I will check out your tutorials.

Agree HiJack ! I also have my Secondary Shadows disabled for the time being.

Hello, So I got the virpil CM2 stick base about 10 months ago and I programmed it to be on the Leftside because I didn't want it to interfere with my Realsimulator R3L viper setup on the rightside in any way. Now that my CM3 Throttle is getting ready to ship and when I program the device I would like the throttle to be chosen to the Leftside and CM2/hornet grip on Rightside like normal, will I loose my CM2 profile and DCS binding if I rearrange the CM2 base to the Rightside. I guess I can always just choose the CM3 Throttle to be on the Rightside and keep the CM2/hornet stick to the Leftside/center stick. I'm looking forward to that throttle but not rebinding and relearning the Virpil software. Thanks
