And anybody that cancels at this point is just... that's like bailing from a race twenty feet before the finish line because "oh it's too haaaaarrrrrrd" @@ I've got a bridge you definitely want to buy. Just be patient. Blast from the past (July 26th) "We are very pleased to confirm that a large batch of pre-order stock has been prepared and scheduled for dispatch next week. After this batch the total number of pre-order dispatches completed to date will be around the following: VPC WarBRD Base: 70-80% VPC Constellation Delta Grip: 70-80% VPC MongoosT-50 Throttle: 40-50%" 2 confirmed throttles shipped, but according to a youtuber who received it "it's been arranged" in December. So there is approx. 2 left to be shipped "next week" :thumbup: We all have been through this, right? Edited August 7, 2018 by mdee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ifikratis Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Hi guys. I'm also waiting for my pre-order. May I ask mdee, why 3+ months delay? According to their latest update the throttles should be shipping this week or so. | JF-16 Thunder | F-16C Viper | F-14A/B Tomcat | F/A-18C Hornet | AV-8B N/A Harrier II | AJS-37 Viggen | M-2000C | F-5E Tiger II | A-10C Watrhog | F-86F Sabre | MiG-15bis | MiG-19P Farmer | MiG-21bis | FC3 | L-39 Albatros | C-101 Aviojet | SA342 Gazelle | Mi-24P Hind | Mi-8MTV2 | UH-1H Huey | Ka-50 Black Shark | P-51D Mustang | P-47 Thunderbolt | Spitfire LF Mk.

Ayindi Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) Well the original date was April 20th... (correction: that was the preorder start if I remember correctly) So 3+ month delay is not wrong... However, I am also not too excited about Virpils communication, but I see it being very close now. Its still a rather new company which has to iron certain things out so I will stick with them. (having no real other choice... and being very happy with the quality of the actual product, so the "secondary stuff" - like communication - does not matter too much to me - given the fact its a niche product manufacturer) I'm hopefully enjoying my joystick + throttle for the next ten years... Who cares about a 3 month delay after it has finally arrived...? I also would not expect the shipping mails before the end of the week. From my observations people started getting the WarBRD mails towards end of the week. Wouldnt expect it differently for the throttle. That said I hope that Virpil will improve their preorder and shipping processes for new products which seems to be likely since they have their own manufacturing hall + the new shops for EU, US and rest of world. I'm sure things will get better. Edited August 8, 2018 by Ayindi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AizenSousuke Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I was told on discord that "If your pre-order didn't include the MT-50 Throttle, you should have your tracking number this week. If it does include the MT-50 Throttle, it will be next week!" Keep in mind that I asked about specific order which was made on first day of pre-orders in April If orders (w throttle) made on the first day of pre-orders is going out next week, then mine's going to really take a long, long time (july 1st week) to be delivered :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars Exulte Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I was referring to VKB where this exact chain of events happened with everyone freaking out right up to the last minute. You don't want delays, then don't spend money on gear that doesn't ACTUALLY exist yet. There is ALWAYS possibility of issue. Buy 'in stock' items only or deal with the hitches. All there is to it. They've been shippi.g equipment for what, a year now? They didn't run to a tropical island with your money, it's safe to believe it's coming, even if soonTM.

crab Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Why you think that all people who preordered a) read this forum, b) read this thread c) will confirm here or in youtube that they received it? Probably the only one who knows how many throttles are being sent is Virpil. While I cant cite numbers I would think it should be fair enough to say that the types that buy this throttle (particularly were first day buyers) are also the types that surf this forum; enough so that it would seem reasonable to make the assumption that a lack of confirmation here likely means they haven't shipped just yet.

Hoffster Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Maby they found some issues with the first units they sent out. If so then that is not uncommon with new products and i would be happy to wait a little longer if that is the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karon Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Guys, the throttle is a new project. Having delays is quite normal. I'd rather have a long delay (even longer than what they had) but no issues later on.

I don't care as long as I don't have to be again in the same situation I am in currently: bought the T-50 in October, had a problem in mid May and nothing since then 'cause I have shipped it back to them for repairs but there's no ETA, no news.

mdee Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) I have to thank Cyph3r for handling the issues on case by case basis. To be frank, I'd not expect this level of help from anyone, it's too much of a workload for one man. I think without him doing what he is doing we would have to wait even longer. Dear Vripil, get this automatic email notification set up already, please. p.s. zhukov I am aiming to send the bridge sometime next year. Karon, yes I am indeed, thank you very much, good eye for people. ;) Edited August 10, 2018 by mdee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
