Swine Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 (edited) What’s the deal with the final run of t50 bases? Are they planning on not selling bases without sticks anymore, only with a stick purchase? Is a new base being put into production? I’m kind of confused but what else is new:) This is from one of the latest blogs. “Hello VIRPILs! After the successful launch of our new worldwide webstore, we were overwhelmed to see such monumental demand for our VPC MongoosT-50 base. Due to receiving messages from many users that they missed the opportunity to purchase this base yesterday, we will be doing a final production run before discontinuation which will be available for purchase by the end of November! As we are moving away from taking pre-orders, instead we request that anyone who still wishes to purchase an MT-50 base to simply sign up for the stock alert email on our webstore so that you are alerted when they are available. If anyone has any questions - please contact us at support@virpil.com. Thank you for your continued support!

dburne Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 No they are planning on discontinuing the Mongoos T-50 base, and just having the WarBRD base for now. They said to "stay tuned" for news on future products.

Swine Posted October 22, 2018 Author Share Posted October 22, 2018 That’s really bizarre. I hope they continue with an advanced base for flight simmers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigitalEngine Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 We're discontinuing the base, not abandoning the line-up of course! Hi Cyph3r, I'm a little confused also, as how can we use the VPC MongoosT-50 Grips without a base for them?

Swine Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 I think they are designing a new base but that’s a guess. Please make it adaptable to the floor for cockpit builders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Well I'm glad I got a T50 base while they were still available. Having my stick extended since the Warthog, I wont ever be going back to a non-extended stick.
