The term depends on the queue and the manufacture of electronics. Today it is 1-1.5. Shipping to the US now takes 2-3 weeks.

Hi guys, received my unit yesterday and i want to give a fair feedback. First of all, about the maker, Mikhail... Mikhail seems a very honest and direct person... No fake promisses, no easy talking... I asked to be in the buying list on 26December, with a waiting time of about 1-1.5 months. In 22 January mikhail emailed telling the collective was ready. I payed (through PayPal, an easy process) and it was sent with a tracking number in 24Jan, arriving in my country (Portugal) by 4 February, in a well and very carefull package, that i'm sure would put shame to a lot of professional brands. It took until 16Feb to arrive to my home, but because of my country customs, which Mikhail has nothing to do with.

The unit... The collective is surprisingly sturdy and well made. Mostly metal (don't let it fall on your feet, it will hurt 🤣), with the grip, head and buttons in 3d printed plastic (i have a 3d printer so i knew what to expect and i can say these pieces are also well made). My only sugestion, i would like to have a physical end stop that we could easely set, such as a knob, to avoid extra travel if i'm not using the full travel range (60% fells confortable and more or less mimics the Huey in DCS), and i would prefer the throttle to be just a little bit looser (personal preference).

The collective is plug&play, already calibrated and ready to use, although mikhail also gives some instructions in case we mess up, and some setting up tips in DCS. 

Flying with it its a dream... I'm a more or less competent (but far from great) Huey driver with my hotas throttle, but the collective makes it so much easier and imersive, it's great.

Would i buy it again? Without a second thought... 

Sorry for this long post, but i'm really happy with this and i think Mikhail deserves a fair credit for is product.

 

Happy flying and stay safe, guys!!!

Just reiterate what Mikhail has said, use the 200204 version of VPC software only if you want to recalibrate the axes.

 

I did what most of us expect and downloaded the newest version offered by VPC.

The default page that the software starts with is to update the firmware.

The temptation is strong for all of us to do this, but you don't need to do it.

The Axis board will cease to respond to the VPC Joy Tester if you do it. Buttons will work fine.

 

If you make this mistake, uninstall the VPC software, download the v204 as per his link and use the firmware upgrade in THAT version to revert.

You will need to import his profile that he will make available to you and then recalibrate the axis if you do this.

 

Honestly, just plug it into DCS and fine tune your axis.

It works out of the box.

I was too tempted to tinker.

 

He has a lot of patience.

I made this mistake when moving to a new computer. Now only the z-axis responds. The bootloader is stuck using 200204.

 

Now its is saying the profile is a 50cm3 throttle

 

Please help.

 

Update: using software 925, I can get it back to recognize as a collective and load the profile, but its asking for me to select a base. When i try to use latest software, it wants to upgrade firmware and then shows profile as cm3 and wont let me load collect profile.

I seem to have gotten it working. In the older software 118. But the newest software after I update the firmware wants to recognize it as a cm3 and will not load your profile. It is saying I have specify a base. This may be an issue with the newest software. 
 

anyway you could try and make a new profile with virpil latest software and see what I’m talking about? It’s very weird. 
 

maybe upload a latest profile using newest virpil software. 
 

if none of that works. What version board are you using so I can hard reset it?  
 

thanks for a great product and awesome support.

I always use the latest version of the program. Now this VPC_Software_Setup_20210102_Patch_RotorPlus.

The profiles are no different, but try this one.

If for some reason you cannot download the program, here is a link to the repository.

Thank you sir. I’ll try and let you know.
