Introducing the VPC MongoosT-50


Cyph3r

Recommended Posts

Why does the bottom of the base need to be kept above the surface?

 

That's a bit of a shame. It'll make the stick more challenging to integrate into my setup. Is it possible to mount the stick in the opposite direction and reverse the axes? Maybe with an extension, as you can just twist the cable?

 

You don't need keep the base above the surface.

 

Just don't can attach the base using the lower plate of base. Why?

 

Because the bolts are not attached in full holes, but in "half-holes" and the effort/leverage - specially with extension, during use may cause disaster.

 

See here:

 

You can mount base inverted, example. BTW-Support by Monstertech.

And invert axes in VPC software.

Excellent, that's just the information I was looking for. I'm glad it works inverted. Thanks guys!

 

Another question: Do other third party warthog extensions work with the T-50, or do I need to buy their extensions?

Since VPC follow Thrustmaster standard (M36x2) for grip attachment, no reason that extensions made for Warthog don't work in T50, and T50 in "PnP" in Warthog base (and Warthog grip in T50 base).

Other extensions should work - but theirs are really high quality - I got them and couldn't be happier

I see that a competitor has a nicely curved extension. Do you think that it might fit?

@dburne: mate, out of curiosity, how long did it take for you to send back the base and get a replacement / fixed?

►VPC Pre-Order & Production Update

 

We would like to keep everyone updated with the status of our pre-order products and production, so today we’re pleased to share some new photos and news directly from our new production factory!

 

We’re happy to confirm that everything is currently moving forward as planned as per our last announcement.

The VPC MongoosT-50 Throttle, VPC WarBRD Base and VPC Constellation Delta Grip production is in full swing at our factory. The first serial units have already moved off the production line!

 

VPC_WarBRDDelta_01.png

The VPC Constellation Delta has undergone some final changes based on real world testing including; newly designed hats that are more comfortable to use and prevent accidental inputs. The hat mechanism itself is a very high quality unit provided by ALPS which provides excellent feedback. The secondary fire button beneath the main trigger is also now recessed to prevent accidental inputs.

 

We’re very excited to get these products in everyone’s hands and we’re standing by 9th July as the beginning of pre-order dispatches.

 

We must thank everyone for their patience during the time we’ve spent setting up our factory which had unfortunately slid everything back from our first estimates. However, the future is very bright and as everything comes together we’ll be fully equipped for future product launches!

 

As always, if anyone has any questions, please contact us at support@virpil.com.

 

Thanks,

VIRPIL Controls Team

Great job Cypher - very happy to keep on supporting you guys, such a great company, all my dealings have been 6 stars on the 5 star scale. Your rapid help when I needed tech support one time (2 hours you guys replied, so FAST, and problem was solved in about 10 minutes tops)...I'll not forget this anytime soon. I love my T50s, and everyone else I let use our 3 gaming systems set up for flight simming always want to use the system we currently have set up with the T50 and a TM throttle on the fantastic and inexpensive desk mounts/clamps.

 

Seeing those throttles on that assembly and testing bench - I'd love to swoop in and buy every single one. Alas, I'll have to be happy with the one I'll purchase as soon as they're available.

 

Great job again, and Cypher, I'm sure the rest of the DCS community and those of us who love to follow this part of the forum in the input subforum here, really and truly appreciate the work you do giving us updates like this, including the information and visuals/pics. Thanks again. Both of us here (missus flies a bit as well when she's not into her Fortnite addiction, heh), are very appreciative of posts like this one with the new sticks/throttles.

 

Heh, may have to purchase T50 base #3, or probably the new WarBrd base, to get an example of your new "space" Constellation Delta sim stick. Looks very interesting, and my nephew is a big time Star Citizen and Elite player - see what he thinks of it, he loves the Mongoose already, so...

Well it's not like we're just going to be taking it easy after we've launched the MT-50 Throttle, WarBRD and Delta! We've got a whole production factory setup now and we're planning on making very good use of it! :smilewink:

Anyone with a T50 who went for v1 of the throttle, is the "complete the set" discount still applicable? Don't know how much it was supposed to be, it's been a while since that was announced.

 

If you've ordered the MT-50 Flightstick from us previously before the pre-orders opened, we're offering an additional discount on top of the 10% pre-order discount! Email support@virpil.com with your previous order number and I can get this sent over to you :thumbup:

I've recently been contemplating buying a VPC base and grip.

 

I see that the WarBRD base will be available soon. Is is worth waiting fo the new base?

 

Will there be a WarBRD base/Mongoos grip bundle?

 

Are the springs in the WarBRD strong enough for use with longer extensions?

The WarBRD is designed as a desktop joystick only (not use extensions).

 

The Mongoose T-50 is designed to be mounted with extensions ( beefier gimbal system).

Now the 19 of June, ordered on the 5th....I cannot believe it takes this long to ship an IN STOCK ITEM???? Yes I'm annoyed! The amount of money you ask for these sticks and you can't get IN STOCK items out the door in a timely fashion.

If you have read their updates. They recently opened a new factory and were in the process of setting everything up. Most people had pre-ordered though. Waiting sucks but when neither vkb has stock and you want quality, but you need a new stick and there is no other local competition, there isn't an option other than waiting.
