VPC Configurator Software

Recommended Posts

Just want to give a heads up. I have Virpil stick, throttle, and pedals and have used a software version from 2020. It has worked fine, but I noticed since ED reworked controls that the dialog, in game especially, was laggy. When I recently bought the Varjo Aero and started using VR again, it was so laggy it was not useable. Turned out the culprit was old Virpil software; updated, and imported profiles, and now everything works fine. Just for info.

Always good to stay updated with the Virpil software.

I am happy all works great now and all, but the question is how did you manage to import profiles from 2020 software into current software? I thought profiles created in the older software had different file extensions so they could not be imported in the new software. Am I missing something?

Yep, I was thinking the same thing but didn’t want to ask!

hello,

Last version of the software I have installed was v20220720_patch1.exe.

Can I install the 20230328 version of the software without breaking things (or in DCS)?

There is a new version out. 20240124.

Re 'not breaking things', I have never had an issue updating VPC software many times over the years, but there have been a couple of people who had their device IDs changed, and that does break the DCS binds.

I use JoyPro to get round that issue if it ever occurs - for reasons other than software update in my case - as it can restore your previous IDs or change DCS binds to the new one with a single button press.

I just download the 0092 version of JoyPro for the first time.  But it looks like it has all of the source code in it?  And it crashed when merged simple rudder pedal relations.  And the log referred to a folder that is not on my system (D:\Dropbox\Programmierung\c#\JoyPro\JoystickProfiler\JoyPro\JoyPro\..)   That download has over 387 files...  Where can I download a package release for end users??

This definitely makes JoyPro worthwhile - I have just had it happen changing the setup of the AH-64D grip and was able to migrate all the bindings in a matter of seconds

I’ve been singing the praises of JP here for a long time. In so many ways, it’s an incredibly useful piece of software.

If I missed this I apologise.

Is it possible to swap virpil collectives without losing the control button binds?

For this example I have a fully configured Ah64 collective, but occasionally may wish to swap back to the sharka50. 

Does the virpil/dcs software recall the binds - or are they gone once the hardware is swapped.

With thanks,

Different hardware will require a different profile.  You can swap them over once you have it saved initially.
