Received my revised cams today. It's nice that they gave 2 sets of everything (you only need one for the CM2 base, so extra ones are spares). These are supposed to provide very smooth curve on Force vs Deflection graph.

 

Virpil uses notches and holes system to differentiate those cams:

 

Aviation cams have 2 holes in the body (higher resistance as you travel away from the center).

Space cams have 3 holes (constant resistance throughout).

Default center cams have 2 notches.

Smooth center cams have 3 notches.

 

I think my level turning is a bit smoother now but that's pretty much it. If you stick with the old cams this can probably be compensated by axis tuning in DCS setting, but again it's nice that Virpil ships them out for free.

Interesting. I received my CM2 about 3 weeks ago (ordered in September). It is now mounted to the seat. Heavy spring installed for the pitch axis . With 200mm extension and TMWH grip I find the default cams VERY wobbly near the very center. Yet to try it sim but I'm guessing some dead zoning will be needed.

Was wondering if these revised cams solve that problem

I also use Virpil’s 200mm extension, but with Realsimulator grips which are much lighter than TM ones and it feels pretty good especially when compared to the WarBRD base. Since they’re giving them out for free it doesn’t hurt to just ask for the new cams. Deadzone settings to me are sort of personal preferences, use whatever number that you are comfortable with.
