Introducing the VPC MongoosT-50

Perfect combination!:thumbup:

 

Another satisfied customer for your account, Virpil. This base is a masterpiece!

I totally agree! I use the T-50 base with the TM WH grip for almost all aircraft. Only when I fly the Spit or the Mig-21 I use the T.50 grip, because of the analogue brake lever.

The heavy TM WH grip tends to lean forward a little and that's a bonus when I fly the Bf-109 because I can trim it for level flight which is otherwise impossible.

My version. I´m calling it Kinder Egg, 3 in 1 :smilewink:

Did you mounted it from the base? That's not good.

Also did you use heavy springs in the base for the warthog grip?

Been testing mine for a few weeks.

Pros:

+ Great feel, especially around the centre it's a huge improvement when compared to TMHW and this alone is worth the upgrade

+ Awesome precision

+ Customizability. Didn't have to replace cams or springs, but the ability to tweak each axis stiffness with a simple screw is a big plus.

+ Smaller deflection (15 degress) feels better with extension than TMHW (20 degrees)

+ Warthog grip compatibility out-of-the-box

+ analog brake axis

+ more buttons, less HATs than Warthog (for those who want more buttons)

 

Cons:

- less HATs, more buttons than Warthog (for those who want more HATs)

- T-50 CM build quality is mediocre. Mine has 1mm panel gap in front, I can feel the grip plastic halves move when force is applied, all HATs and trigger wobble more than 1mm to each side.

- T-50 ergonomics aren't as good as Warthog.

- The foldable trigger does not send the information if it's folded or not to the sim, so it's only a gimmick.

- My Warthog grip does not fit VPC stick extension very well. I'm using the older one from Sahaj.

- Joystick software seems limited. But I haven't tested it much.

I am having an issue with the pov hat switch on my T50 cm2 grip. It seems intermittent when I use it to move my radar cursor. If I press the center click it seems to start again

I remember reading something about the hole on “some” har switch interfering with its travel and function

Not sure if this is the issue or what anyone have any thoughts or a link?

Thanks

This matches my experience. I therefore use the T-50 base with the TM WH grip. That gives me the best of both worlds.

Exception: When I fly the Spit or the Mig-21, I need the analog lever for the wheelbrake.
