Introducing the VPC MongoosT-50

[Tantalum7]

I just ordered a T-50CM on 6/22. It turns out that my neighbors are thieves, and are stealing my packages. Does anyone know if it's possible to change the ship to address on this to my place of work? I put in a ticket asking this, but I thought the response might be quicker here, and I'm worried that it will get shipped before I get an answer.

Thanks in advance.

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.

Just send an email to Cyph3r support@virpil.com and mark it urgent in the subject line. I've found him pretty quick when replying.

[Tantalum7]

Thanks for the quick response. I'm glad to hear that the post office will hold it if I can't sign for it. That didn't quite work out for me today. I had ordered a slew upgrade for my throttle (I'm in the Pacific NW of the US). At 1:03 pm the delivery person said that they were leaving a note that no one was here to sign. Then at 1:06 a mysterious person (who obviously didn't come out of my house) stepped in to sign and take it away. The sad thing is that they will have no idea what it is and will never be able to use it. I don't trust anything to be delivered to my residence anymore.

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

I'm ready to pull the trigger on the WarBRD Base (sitting in my cart ) shipping is $55... I heard they may have an NA distributor by the end of the summer. Anyone else hear that ?

 

We are currently working on opening our dedicated US distribution channels - we're working on this as fast as we can but there are no solid dates just yet!

Replied to your ticket already I believe! :thumbup:

Virpil customer support is pretty awesome

 

As I was writing a new reply here, I got a response from Virpil's customer service and was able to supply my work address to have my package sent there. This seems like the safest way to proceed. But I am absolutely amazed at the responsiveness of Virpil. My hat is off to their customer service.

Outstanding service. Really top notch. Makes me very pleased that I decided to place an order with Virpil!

Anyone know if the VPC Constellation DELTA Grip will work with my FSSB R3 Warthog base?

I had this sort of stuff happened to me as well last year in the apartment complex I lived at. The weird thing was that you needed a key anyway to get into the buildings and it seems that neighbors adjacent to me would be taking packages (hotel looking style apartments like high rises) or the delivery people wouldn't know which building it was so they left it outside or in or around another building.

 

I once left a package at my door on purpose but filled it with packing peanuts and waited to see if anyone would take it. Sure enough three days later it was gone. I should have put dog poop in there.

 

Glad I moved out of there and now the place I live at looks like condos and packages are left outside unless signature required but each place has a small roof over the door and its still the same county but I guess people are more respectable here.

 

Since they have not shipped yet looks like they got to you and hopefully changed your address. I just hope whatever I ordered gets shipped before I have to move again but now I know I'll be able to change the address if that ends up being the case.

Other than the occasional petty thievery, it seems to be a quiet and safe neighborhood. Who knows, maybe I pissed off a neighbor somehow. Don't trim my hedges as often as they'd like to see.

Yes I saw that, but maybe Virpil could explain why the Delta will not work with the Warthog base even though it has the same connector? I imagine maybe the analog hat and the mouse wheel wouldn't work may be the reason.

Due to the other axis's not supported on the TM base. Connector is not the issue, the functionality is!

 

If you want compatibility with the Warthog base then the T-50 is your only option.

Agree I have always found their support to be most excellent. When I was having troubles early on we even communicated back and forth on a weekend.

Dammit, wanted to buy T-50 base&stick, but by the time I sorted out financial matters, they went out-of-stock. Any info when they will be available. again?

Interesting I think that is first time I have seen that from them, usually they have been accepting orders and shipping in couple weeks or so. Maybe because they have their hands full trying to get throttle and WarBRD out?

I'd expect that after they ship stuff out next week, if it indeed does not happen to be another delay, that you would be able to place an order after that. I was checking their site a long time ago for months before I pre-ordered the warBRD and a grip and I always saw stock.

 

One of my friends wasn't able to order and found someone on eBay selling two T-50's. He really likes the base compared to the warthog but he needs to mount it and unfortunately the guy from eBay sent him the left hand grip instead of the right hand one. So he's trying to sell the grip and use his warthog grip with the t50 base. Not sure if he sold that grip yet, I can't imagine it would be hard..I know there are people looking for dual setups but no base for it so that may make it harder.

Thanks for the quick response ...I couldn't wait ...I ordered the WarBRD Base a few minutes ago! Thanks again...

I'm currently considering to buy the T50 base as a replacement for my Warthog base. I have mounted my Warthog at a slight angle which gives me a very ergonomic grip but it also makes it hard to e.g. just give aileron input without also giving elevator input and vice versa in some situations. E.g., when rolling left, it's hard to not pull at the same time. I believe this is largely due to the ball gimbal design.

 

What I would like to have is that each axis "feels" a certain way so that I just give the input I want without any parasitic input on the other axis.

 

The way the T50 base seems to work with different cams and springs this seems to fit my needs. Can anyone confirm that the axes indeed feel different (or can be made that way)?

Yes, you can make it feel that way.

[dburne]

Agree, you have independent axis adjustments along with option of different spring strength per axis if desired. Even different cams if you want to get crazy with it.

 

It is way better even at stock in that department than the Warthog.

[Wyverex]

Thank you!

 

If I use my Warthog grip with the T-50 base, will it also identify as a Warthog stick, i.e. can I use it with TARGET then? I guess not, though.

 

If not, what do you guys use as a TARGET replacement? Home Fries' TARGET profiles are just so terribly convenient, I'd hate to lose those...

Dcs will recognize it as a warthog grip. Not.sure about target. I never used Target and assigned everything in game which is what I will do in this case too.
