dburne Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Cyph3r, Thank you for the information you shared here yesterday, it is appreciated. I like most here look forward to receiving the products here in a couple of weeks or so and hopefully this will be all behind us. I am a little curious still however. I notice there have been no posts or updates on the official Virpil forums since the silent period began around the 1st of June, nor any update on the Virpil website. The last update was on May 31, and no posts responding to questions since around June 2, both Russian and English forums. In fact if one were relying on the Virpil website and forums alone for their communication and support, things would still be silent for them. I don't see where any of the active Virpil team members on the official forum have even logged on for quite some time?

It's purely a matter of time, I'm still catching up on emails and direct messages even today.

Cyph3r Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 21st June 2017 // Announcement No. 15 ► VPC Pre-Orders Shipping Update In the last week, the VPC Team had met together at the VPC HQ in Belarus to discuss the status of the current pre-orders including the VPC MongoosT-50 Flightstick & Base production. As per our previous announcement, there had been a delay on our initial shipping estimate due to some minor improvements being made to the MongoosT-50 gimbal which required some retooling at the production factory. The production factory was then required to fulfil a large state order before moving on to ours. We apologise for this delay and appreciate everyone’s understanding during the wait. However, we are now pleased to announce that the VPC MongoosT-50 Flightstick and Base orders will begin shipping on July 1st, with orders being dispatched on a first come, first serve basis. We also have good news for users who have pre-ordered our VPC MongoosT-50 LH Grip and PC MongoosT-50 LH Flightstick. Production has already begun and these orders will also be shipping on July 1st! ► 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!

LeCuvier Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 It's July 1st and I was hoping to see an announcement that shipping has actually begun. But nothing on this forum, and nothing on VPC's official web site. @Cyph3r, please provide an update!

dburne Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Well it is also July 1, and their announcement stated shipping will begin on July 1. Not much ambiguity there really. I too was anxiously checking out all the forums for any confirmation that shipping had begun. Or even word that production had been completed and the parcels were packed and ready to go. I know nowadays most shipping companies do pick up and ship on Saturdays... Oh well maybe we will hear something first of the week.

Cyph3r Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 Hi All! We have received the initial batch of MongoosT-50 Bases from the factory and this weekend we are working on getting them QC'd and packaged up. The first batch will be collected for despatch from the VPC HQ at the start of the week! We will be working our way through the pre-order queue from the oldest orders to the newest, so we will require your patience as we catch up with demand! As I get more information I will keep you all updated with our progress :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!

debolestis Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 You just mentioned it and showed a few controller photos. Since MegaMozg worked on it, UI will probably be something like mmjoy2. Can you show a few screenshots? Is there a manual? - Debolestis' Shapeways store - Debolestis' Facebook page - Suncom SFS and Talon restoration and mods - Cougar replacement gimbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyph3r Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 Correct, megamozg has created it, so if you're familiar with mmjoy2 you'll know what to expect. I don't have any screenshots right now but we'll post some soon. We'll also have a manual available as well :) ► 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!

Cyph3r Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 Hi all, In keeping with my promise to keep the community updated on my whereabouts as the only English representative of VPC - I will be away until the start of next week. I will still have sporadic access to the internet but I request patience if you're trying to contact me! Rest assured the VPC team are still working around the clock to get as many MongoosT-50 Flightsticks out as quickly as possible!
