Introducing the VPC MongoosT-50

[bear.is.flying]

You have to re-bind all your controls if you place the TM Warthog grip on the T-50 base. The reason is the buttons have different DX numbers compared to those on the original Warthog grip.

[NahkaSukka]

It recognizes it as T-50, because it's T-50 base. What grip you use doesn't matter. And TARGET doesn't support it so you'll just have to bind everything yourself.

[dburne]

Agreed just bind everything in game, no need for TARGET really. DCS has a great controller setup GUI.

I was also considering buying a Wheel Stand Pro Super Warthog since desk mounting is not a good option for me (thin glass table and there's only a very slim mounting area due to a crossbeam of the frame).

 

Has anyone tried to mount the T-50 with the Wheel Stand? I guess you'd need some kind of adapter plate. At least there is no mention on compatibility on the website .

This is the Virpil U-Bracket for mounting. Note it is attached to the front side of the gimbal.

 

Hmm can't seem to attach the pic, sorry if I figure out why will try again...

 

Ok here it is in this post:

I have the Warthog stick adapter and i just had to drill one extra 5mm hole.

 

[Wyverex]

Awesome, thank you! I already started thinking about all kinds of L-shaped brackets. Your solution is so simple!

[Buckeye]

Perfect, I’ll be using that method to mount mine on my WSP as well until I get the tub for my cockpit built. Very simple, I love it!

Anyone here using a T-50 with a FSSB R3 base? I'm thinking of getting a T-50 for that base I have. I wonder if the grip is strong enough to hold up to force sensing.

I am, feels solid enough so far! Haven't applied max force, but I'm not worried atleast :)

Good to know,thanks! I heard Realsimulator updated the FSSB firmware and everything on the T-50 grip works?

[Lobinjaevel]

Everything that works on the warthog base, so no analog brake lever, only a button, but I like it for the hornet and VR!

Yeah for the Hornet at least, one really does not need the axis on that brake lever, especially if you have toe brakes on pedals.

Finally my Virpil equipment arrive. It’s amazing, I have a T-50 Mongoos upgraded, the base for this joystick and another for the throttle. The bases have an extreme sturdy design and very precise holes drilled, have all the nuts and bolts required to fix the throttle and the T-50. The T-50 upgraded edition with the extensions are incredible. Congratulations Virpil.

Congrats, looks great! Virpil is a very good setup!

[Callsign.Vega]

That upgraded looks great. I wish they made a left hand version, as I'd like to get two upgraded CM for a HOSAS setup for Star Citizen.

Unfortunately I haven't received any encouraging news from VPC, they said they don't have ETA for when T-50 will be available again, the focus is now on getting new hardware preorders out of the door.

[sze5003]

I guess this may mean another delay. Good thing I'm going on vacation for a few days and hopefully by next week my stuff would be shipped.

That is too bad, I am sure they got some new customers with the new throttle and pre-order for it that also ordered a T-50 to go along with it, and now do not know when they will be able to get the stick.

I guess those who ordered it already will get them in reasonable time. But they are unavailable for new orders.

[sze5003]

Well assuming if you ordered in April that they would try and send those out first. Assuming they didn't run out of grips to go along with the warBRD orders. That would suck if that happened ..because as long as I can remember from April onward people could order the grips and get them shipped.

[GriffonBR]

Well, last week they replied me with the following mensage.

 

Dear Luis Felipy Nascimento,

I have alerted our logistics manager to combine these two orders to one shipment!

 

Also I have noted to include the throttle dust cover as the free gift :)

 

This is for the T-50 base and for the throttle that I ordered, since 06/29 nothing changed with my order.

 

Also, they didn't spoke nothing this week yet, neither on Facebook.

6/29? Good luck, hope you get it this year. Nothing changed with my order placed 04/19. "Logistics manager" LOL.

 

These guys are really taking the piss.

I'm pretty sure they only have one guy that handles all the English communication, so this includes emails, tickets, etc. They probably have everyone doing several roles trying to get these orders in.

 

I'd rather them be assembled with care than rushed out and have to deal with back and forth shipping and issues.
