Gman109 Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 I have an order pending as well close to the same amount of time Haukka, just over 2 weeks. I'm in no way concerned, I wouldn't be Haukka. I ordered from them before some time before Xmas a few months back, same thing happened to me - the status changed on my order the same day it was sitting in my community mailbox locker, surprised me. It's a bit confusing on the Virpil site - below each item in the catalogue it says it's a 10-14 day wait for assembly, testing, and customs clearance. This refers to customs clearance for the parts coming IN to Virpil, NOT going OUT to the customer. Then, on the shipping/receipt page it states it can take 5 to 14 days for EMS (the shipping company) for your order to arrive. So, a total of up to 14 days (at least) for Virpil to complete, test, and ship your order, than another 5 to 14 days for you to receive it. IE they've stated (although not perfectly clearly, but clear enough) that it can take up to 28 days from the time you order to the time you receive it.

Gman109 Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 The email comms with Virpil for me have been excellent. Very interactive with me, despite having similar experiences with the "check your order" deal as others here. They are a growing company doing their best IMO, I've used the T50 for a few months now (I sold it to someone who demanded it from me at $100 more than I paid as he didn't want to wait) and am waiting for a new bottom end for my remaining T50 stick. I'll be supporting them by purchasing the WrBrd (this I really want, as I can put my various TM sticks as well as the Virpil's in it on my desktop), and their throttle too. Those of you who haven't used one of these newer sticks don't know what you're missing, the improvement over the WH is significant. I best describe it as all the best feelings that my trusty CH could give me in terms of light precision, yet quality and a "solid" feel that my TM WH sticks have, and that's with the factory/stock cams and springs. You are able to really customize the feel with the different cams/springs. I find the only real negative with the desk mounts was the distance to my desk to reach the keyboard and see the LCD, but what with VR being most of my DCS flying now anyway - which is another story - that distance doesn't matter. I did buy a keyboard stand that lets me prop up my keyboard at about 30 degrees, allowing me to more easily hit keys that I need to here and there even with Voice Attack. Guys who want a center stick will really like the desk mounts and T50 with the extensions too, I've used a specific side stick placement on my desktop since the early 90s, but am considering changing to center stick for some stuff when the new T50 base gets here.

sze5003 Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 I really can't wait for the warBRD. The only thing stopping me from buying one of the sticks because a mounting solution right now does not work for me. I've looked into monstertech long version mounts and they are pretty expensive, around $260 shipped. So the warBRD makes perfect sense for me with a t50 grip. I just hope it's available soon.

Weedwacker Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 You know what pisses my off about the Desk Mount? The empty space between the stick base and the desk. I thought it would be a great place for some additional controls! At first I thought about using some Microchip's PIC (I worked a lot with assembler on 8/16 bits microcontrollers) then I've found Arduino and I've discovered a whole new world (screw you single register 8-bit PIC! :D ). This is the current result, I'm waiting for the delivery of the rotary encoders (ETA end of March / beginning of April) then I'll open a proper thread in the DIY area of the forum (that's why there's so much empty space in the top box). Wow, such a great idea. Now you gave me the idea to attach the Cougar MFDs whenever mine get here. I'll probably just zip tie them to the desk mounts though.

Yeah I am so loving my T-50 setup, with their desk-mount and 150mm of extensions I could never go back to a desk top stick. I have many , many hours logged in with this stick now.
