Introducing the VPC WarBRD

[Yskonyn]

Glad to see you got it fixed!

 

I have now swapped the stock springs for the stiffer option and it’s total bliss! I have mounted the stick on my tableclamps and the feel and resistance is now very much like a real aircraft.

Virpil, when will you restock your adapters for mounting a WarBRD-base & the TM Warthog throttle to your desk mounts?

Last restock was 2 days ago, but none of these items has been in stock since then.

 

That currently holds me back, from buying a WarBRD-base and (maybe) stick, as I have to use the base mounted to my desk.

Great!! Would you please say what stiffer springs you used.

 

 

Thanks

I mounted my WarBRD on a Monstertech Warthog tablemount. You can’t fasten the two forward screws on it without modification, but the two back screws line up ok.

If the mount is the only thing holding you back you might want to consider it.

 

@Hamilton : You get 2 sets of springs with the WarBRD. The installed ones are the softer type and the ones in the box are the stiffer ones.

I swapped the softer for the stiffer variant.

But Virpils Mounts are significantly cheaper than Monstertechs mounts. :D

Money talks! ;)

Yeah the Monster Tech Mounts are really good, I have two of them - but for Virpil Hardware the Virpil mount is the only way to go.

Hello,

 

I am currently investigating swapping my Warthog base with the Virgil WrBrd base keeping the Warthog stick.

My Warthog is currently mounted under my desk on a pod (Ikea laptop table). I am using a 8cm extension and right now, the stick is 1 cm below my desk.

As I read that the WrBrd base is taller than the Thrust master, I would be glad if someone could provide me with some dimensions so I can check how it will fit under my desk.

- What would be the height from the base (just above the X plate) to the top of the Thrustmaster Warthog stick (without any extension, just the stick mounted on the base)?

- What is the dimensions of the square of the underbase nuts which hold the X plates?

 

Thanks for your help,

 

Best regards,

 

Pierre

Yes, I did that too, but even with those stiffer variant, the stick wobbles in the center when let go, maybe because TMWH stick is heavier than Virpil ones. I bought the VFX and I will check when arrive.
