Ifikratis Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) Hi all, I just noticed this picture on the facebook page of Virpil and it seems to me like a new type of desk mount. Can we have some information about if its a production unit and what are the differences with the current one? I am thinking to place an order and would like to know if a new mount is on the way.

mr_mojo97 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Is this not just the base raised to the top?

dburne Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) Is this not just the base raised to the top? That is what I was going to say. Now that they discontinued the T-50 Base which would accommodate long extensions they could probably come out with a short desk mount to save some money, would not need to have near as much metal for the BRD... and that apparently is the future of their joysticks.

DayGlow Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 It looks angled out from the desk Vs going straight down. Maybe a shorter version for the gunfighter base since you can't use an extension with it?

The mount shown here has a slight angle which also makes it more pleasantly design in my opinion. | 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.

Seb71 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 They should not discontinue the old desk mount. Because they promised the MongoosT-50 base will be supported in the future. Also because it might be better in some other cases (for instance for the throttle, which you might want it in a lower position). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but the T-50 base is no more, I would think most who have it already have the desk-mount for it such as myself.

Ifikratis Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 The annoying part is that I want to place an order for a full set of throttle/stick desk mounts and if a new desk mount is to be released in a month or so, that would really annoy me if I like the new one more..pity we are completely on the dark on this. | 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.
