SkipCarey Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 Is this brand any good ?I just ordered the VPC/f14 stick and I was wondering if their stuff is any good..............Thanks in advance
NeilWillis Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 Very good. Solid build, and well designed. The software is a bit unfriendly, but when you know how to use it, no difficulties either.
VpR81 Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 Depends on what you buy. Their bases are excellent and so seem to be the rudder pedals. I do not own any of their grips (and won't ever), but heard and read about some issues here and there. VKB and TM grips are said to be way better in terms of used material and button quality. The grips are good, but not superior. I own all of the Virpil extensions and they are excellent quality, especially the 200mm S-type. Virpil has a are very good product line overall, but their customer support seems to be poor.

norbot Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 I'm using their WarBRD base with the TM Warthog and Hornet stick. Just perfect. I like it even better than the VKB Gunfighter I used before. With the Virpil products I have no fuss with adapters, when using my TM sticks. The WarBRD has excellent mechanical layout in my opinion.
SkipCarey Posted March 21, 2020 Author Posted March 21, 2020 I just wanted something that was good for the F14 that worked with the WH base, but I saw a couple of posts about the weapon selector switch(the best thing about the grip) stopped functioning on one the guy said was only a couple days old.Also are there any issues in DCS with the TM base and the virpil grip working in DCS?Thanks for the help.
SkipCarey Posted March 21, 2020 Author Posted March 21, 2020 Very good. Solid build, and well designed. The software is a bit unfriendly, but when you know how to use it, no difficulties either. all you do with their software is calibrate it right?Does DCS recognise their stuff in contols?
SkipCarey Posted March 24, 2020 Author Posted March 24, 2020 Update The VFX weapon select switch is actually a severed wire inside the stick goin to the switch another owner took his apart and took pictures its on their forums
