Cyph3r Posted March 6, 2018 Author Posted March 6, 2018 well I guess I'm stuck with the soft center cams. I tried to swap them out, but the damn locktight is so set that there is no way. Sat with my soldering iron for 5 minutes trying to heat up the screw and still no way it moved, my screwdriver started to strip the head. Assinine the amount of locktight they use. When did you place your order? At the start of Jan we scrapped the Locktite that was previously being used and swapped to a different compound that is intended specifically for serviceable parts and we haven't heard of any issues since! Shoot me an email at support@virpil.com and we'll try to get you sorted out! :thumbup: ► Website: www.virpil.com // ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/VirPilControls // ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/VirPilControls For support please email support@virpil.com to open a ticket!

Dang, guess you guys didn't get as bad as we did down here (ny,pa,nj tri state) with the snow storm today. So who took over shipping, ups? was it a signature req for ya?
Chic Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Got here before the weather. It was a drive by delivery so don't know who took over.

FraserNZL Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Been over 2 months waiting on parts here. Been a expensive paper weight latley. Have to replace the electronics.
ram0506 Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 (edited) Yesterday I received a shipping info from Virpil shop for the T-50 base after two weeks since I ordered. I made a second order at the same day for the desk mount and asked them via mail if it would be possible to combine those two orders and ship them together. I got an answer that this request will be forwarded to the delivery department. But sadly status of my second order is still "in progress", so I think I will get two shipments. What surprises me more is the fact, that if you order Virpil products on Amazon Germany they will be send from Lithuania and you don`t have to pay taxes. If you order directly on the Virpil shop it will be send from Belarus and you have to pay taxes. Why isn`t it possible to organize shipments to the EU always from Lithuania?

Seb71 Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Why isn`t it possible to organize shipments to the EU always from Lithuania? Those products alredy passed through customs and their price includes VAT. Not the case if you order from the Belarus shop.
lucky-hendrix Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 Hi guys I have two questions : Is it possible to put a warthog grip on the T-50 base ? What is the actual difference between the standard T50 grip and CM edition?
ram0506 Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 Yes, you can use the Warthog grip with the T-50 base. That´s what a lot of people do. I´m also planning to use the Warthog grip with the Virpil base.

LeCuvier Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 Hi guys I have two questions : Is it possible to put a warthog grip on the T-50 base ? Yes and it's very easy and quick. I use the TM WH grip when I fly the A-10C or the KA-50, and the T-50 grip with most other planes. No need for any adapter, no tinkering. Sometimes I swap them during the mission (unplug the USB cable though during the swap).

ram0506 Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 In this post you can see some of the differences: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3406287&postcount=1734 It´s up to you if this is worth the additional cost. Personally, if I would buy a T-50 grip I would go for the CM-version. Looking good.

Ranma13 Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 I got my CM in recently and wanted to confirm 2 things: 1. Is the brake lever supposed to hit the body of the joystick when fully depressed? 2. Is the flip-up trigger supposed to feel a bit sticky when it's getting flipped up? On the VKB MCG it's a smooth motion (I can just flick it forward and it pops up by itself), but on the CM I have to assist it all the way, otherwise it gets a bit sticky towards the end of the travel.
bouncerj21 Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 Hi My brake lever does touch the body of the stick, however the flip up trigger is not stiff at all. Mine flips up effortlessly. Hope that helps Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
Weedwacker Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 I see the t-50CM grip is out of stock. Guessing the sale went well. Any news about the throttle yet? I'm just a bit anxious :joystick::pilotfly:.

fiddlinjim Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 I contacted Virpil about purchasing a T-50 with the offset extension and that type of extension is not offered, however they continue to show an offset extension on their website and these photos.
ram0506 Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 One of my orders (base) was shipped one week ago, but since then no update of the tracking info. The other order (desk mount),I made at the same day, is still not shipped. If I will order again any products from Virpil I only will do that via Amazon.

That was the prototype type on first post here. Personally I think a offset might not be the best idea, might strain the gimbal. My opinion though. I’m just going to cut out the center front of my chair and I got some egg crate foam and stuff to pad up my chair and backing. It’s was a cheaper Office chair so no big deal for me. A car chair is too heavy for me to lug around right now.
Greekbull Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Ordered my Vipril T-50 Base last weekend. Very excited to get it in and replace the Warthog:) I have a nice long extension now and eventually will be using this with a TM Hornet and VKB Tomcat stick.
