Hi

 

I have a Problem with my T50

The X axis is not working any more.

A couple Days ago everything worked fine, I changed nothing and today the X Axis is dead.

The Y and Z is working and all Buttons work. In the VPC Programm the X axis also Show no movement.

I tried to restart the PC, disconnect the Joystick but it did not work.

The only thing i did yesterday, I connected the Warthog Base and tried to callibrate the Warthog with a Programm from Thrustmaster.

But i did not touch the T50.

 

Is it possible that the Thrustmaster Programm messed all up?

Hi Lenux, I'd recommend just waiting a few more days until the full launch :thumbsup:

Ok, thanks again, Cyph3r

My grip is making a LOT of groaning plastic sounds when under load (strong spring, 175mm extension). Anyone experiencing the same?

Mbot try tightening up all the grip screws, just be careful to not strip them out. Quieted mine down quite a bit, if it starts to happen again I'll do the same but with some blue loctite added.

Hi MBot - I've not heard of this before (mine is completely quiet). Can you contact me via support@virpil.com so we can get this sorted? :)

[Cal.Iber]

Any word on the configuration software release date?

This worked for me as well.

Finally got my new Virpil base I ordered in yesterday afternoon. I have already spent a few hours with it, so good to be flying with it again as I had been using my old Warthog in the meantime. As some will recall I had butchered my original gimbal trying to get a cam screw out.

 

They kindly put the soft center cams and soft springs in for me. This resulted in the feel I was really looking for. I did a little tweaking with the screw adjustments at the top of the base ( great feature) to get the center feel where I like it and spring tension to my liking.

 

The pitch cam they installed is apparently not as polished as the extra cams it came with ( they look great), it has a small amount of coarse feel to it when moving along the pitch axis. No big deal for me, as I really don't even notice it whilst flying.

Cyph3r very kindly offered to send me some new soft center cams, but I declined this kind offer as changing cams is not something I want to get into again. Although I understand they use better screws now and I should not have that issue again.

 

It really feels great to have it going once again, and I am very pleased. I want to thank Cyph3r again for all the support he gave me during this whole process.

Just curious, how long ago did you order it? I've asked for updates a few time now (the answer has always been 'hopefully next week') and I still don't have mine. Its frustrating...

Hi Sport - I'm very sorry about the delays, what's your order number? I've given out what should be accurate estimates to everyone who had contacted me today. We're working around the clock to get caught up with the demand!

 

dburne's situation is different as it was relating to the issues he had with his previous MT-50 base.

Mine was doing the same I noticed today when moving the joystick to the left extreme. I also tightened my screws in the grip as they were a little loose and that solved it for me as well.

Interestingly one of the grip screws is really not tightening up, like it is not screwing into anything. But the rest seem to be taking care of it.

Replied to your PM - as stated, your order was scheduled to dispatch today :thumbup:

Is this the new throttle in design? Saw the pic in one of the non-English forums here and wasn't sure what I was really looking at.

Not really, it is a very very very early concept released at the start of this year. Back then we asked for input on what everyone wanted from the throttle - we used those suggestions to create the final design, which we are very excited to reveal. :thumbup:

Has anyone greased this up with Nyogel 767a yet? Does it improve the stick at all?

 

I know this damping grease was a nectar from the gods for the Warthog, just curious if it transfers to improving the feel of this stick as well.

I can't imagine it ever needing any type of grease.
