Cyph3r Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 Hello VIRPILs! We are pleased to announce our next addition to the VIRPIL Controls grip lineup - the VPC MongoosT-50 CM2! In the almost 2 years of production, our VPC MongoosT-50 grip has gained incredibly popularity amongst atmospheric flight and space flight sim pilots! Over this time we’ve received a number of comments on changes people wanted to see on this grip design. We have listened to the feedback and have made some adjustments to create this new evolution on the MongoosT-50 grip based off our most popular variant, the MongoosT-50 CM: The most notable change has been that the thumb button has now been replaced with a 4-way + push hat. The face hats have been replaced with 2 x 4-way + push hats, and 1 x 8-way + push hats. The index hat has also been upgraded to include a push function on the 2-way hat. The flip trigger has also been modified to include a non-tactile sensor to register a button input when it is in the “up” position. The triggers are now manufactured with an enhanced polyamide material to increase their durability. All hats found on the MongoosT-50 CM2 grip are now high quality ALPs units for increased control and durability. The number of bindable buttons from the original grip has increased from 23 to 35* allowing for greater versatility no matter what aircraft you fly! The complete control set includes: 1 x Dual-stage trigger 1 x Flip trigger (1 x tactile button in the down position and 1 x non-tactile button for up position) 4 x Momentary buttons 3 x 4-way + push hat 1 x 8-way + push hat 1 x 2-way + push hat 1 x Brake lever (analogue axis) * Note: The increased button count will not be detected by the TMW base. The VPC MongoosT-50CM2 grip will be available for purchase at the end of February 2019 restock (more information available here: https://forum.virpil.com/index.php?/topic/142-worldwide-webstore-restock-date/) for 149.95 EUR.

some1 Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 Nice one, definitely an improvement that should please the fans of modern aicraft. Great that flip trigger is also a button. Equipping all HATs with a push function sounds a bit overkill, I hope they still give a good tactile feedback.

Aviators Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 Good!! L'importante non è stabilire se uno ha paura o meno, è saper convivere con la propria paura e non farsi condizionare dalla stessa. Ecco, il coraggio è questo, altrimenti non è più coraggio ma incoscienza.

mdee Posted February 17, 2019 Posted February 17, 2019 @Cyph3r Any chances for existing owners of CM grip to get a guaranteed pre-order? I am not asking for a discount or "upgrade", just for a guarantee I can get it first batch without stalking the website :megalol:
backstab Posted February 17, 2019 Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) We should get a discount in fact. Its disconcerting that I spent what I spent and now its less than what it was in such a short time. I hope they give a deal to the original supporters of their product fairly. I would like the new stick simply for the button count. In my opinion the new stick is now equal to what I had replaced with their original T50. Edited February 17, 2019 by backstab
javelina1 Posted February 17, 2019 Posted February 17, 2019 I'd click pre-order if it was allowed....

Ragnar65 Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 * Note: The increased button count will not be detected by the TMW base. Does this mean with the stick on WH or Cougar-Base the Push-function on the multiway hats doesn´t work? BTW, does the stick work on the Cougar-base?

sc_neo Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 Nice to see the T-50 upgraded. And it has many changes i have had keen to see on it for a long time. Especially the thumb 4 way+1 head making a it a viable for the A-10c. Thanks guys.
backstab Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 The A10C is exactly why I would upgrade. Making my T50 grip for sale soon.

Herisson Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 The A10C is exactly why I would upgrade. Making my T50 grip for sale soon. #metoo :) mighty pilot, so it seems · Intel i7 8700K 3.7GHz · Asus 1080 Ti · HP Reverb · Virpil T-50CM2 base + stick · Virpil MT-50 Throttle · TM TPR Pedals
98abaile Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 NICE! With this it's possible to fully emulate all the A-10C switches in normal positions. As much as I love to warthog grip, I can see myself finally selling it off with the base now.
Ragnar65 Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 to anyone from Virpil here, please gimme short note to my questions: 1. will then new stick fit on the old Cougar-base? 2.do i understand it right that the Push-function on the multiway hats doesn´t work with TM-bases? Thanx for reply...

Bob_Bushman Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 I am getting a little flak for saying this on the hotas reddit. But I really wish that 8-way pov was an analog. i7 8700k @ 4.7, 32GB 2900Mhz, 1080ti, CV1 Virpil MT-50\Delta, MFG Crosswind, Warthog Throttle, Virptil Mongoost-50 throttle.
Thasiet Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 Cyph3r will all 35 buttons be able to work if connected through an mmjoy board? I mean, Mega Mozg works for Virpil, so it's all in the family, riiiight? I have a T-50 base but I also just built a Microsoft FFB2 base with a Warthog adapter and an mmjoy2 arduino mounted internally to run the grip buttons as a separate device. I'm sure I can get this new grip running on the FFB2 in TMW compatibility mode, but dammit man I want all 35 buttons! Thanks much
Sokol1_br Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 ... will all 35 buttons be able to work if connected through an mmjoy board? Since MMJoy2 firmware support CD4021 shift register, theoretically no reason for not work.
