dburne Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Nice addition. If I ever find myself needing more buttons I will take a serious look at getting one of these.

rapid Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) Hmmm I am in the market for a new Button box still waiting on another company to put theirs out. Can this be used with out the Virpil software and configured within DCS?

Brainfreeze Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) There should be a panel for VR users... don't need anything that is already in the cockpit for us but something with easy to find buttons and switches to trigger all the other 'sim related' functions and stuff ... views etc cause trying to find a key on the keyboard with the VR hmd on is not cool Edited March 4, 2021 by Brainfreeze i9 14900K / 64GB / RTX 4090 / Varjo Aero / Winwing Orion2 + F15EX / Virpil Wrbrd + Alpha Stick + ACE pedals

Bedouin Posted March 7, 2021 Posted March 7, 2021 Uhh this will be nice for my Apache pit, the Gear lever as the Throttle levers, well done .
SmilingBandit Posted March 7, 2021 Posted March 7, 2021 I ordered a panel two. Looking forward to seeing how the gear lights works.
rapid Posted March 7, 2021 Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) I am new to virpil but I cannot see how the CP#2 will receive information from the game to operate the gear status lights. I would hazard a guess that the lights work in conjunction to the lever location. Unless you will have to run the VPC and edit a Lua. to feed back to the CP#2 via the Software? 2 hours ago, Bedouin said: Uhh this will be nice for my Apache pit, the Gear lever as the Throttle levers, well done You may kick yourself when you see CP#3 Edited March 7, 2021 by rapid Asus ROG Crosshair Hero VIII , Ryzen 3900X, Nzxt Kraken Z73, Vengence RBG Pro DDR4 3600mhz 32 GB, 2x Corsair MP 600 pcie4 M.2 2 TB , 2x Samsung Qvo SSD 2x TB, RTX 3090 FE, EVGA PSU 800watt, Steelseries Apex Pro.

rapid Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) Virpil has released a short video on the CP#2 CP#2 Video A bit more information on the Landing Gear Lights they have quoted " "Dynamic or Static lighting options" Also you can have 2 or 3 positions with the landing gear nice touch.

imacken Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 Looks great, but why would you want more than 2 positions - up and down - for landing gear? Just curious.

Most of the Russian aircraft have a neutral position for landing gear, otherwise the hydraulics are in operation if left in up or down position or something like that. 2 AMD 5800X3D · MSI 4080 · Asus ROG Strix B550 Gaming · HP Reverb Pro · 1Tb M.2 NVMe, 32Gb Corsair Vengence 3600MHz DDR4 · Windows 11 · Thrustmaster TPR Pedals · VIRPIL T-50CM3 Base, Alpha Prime R.

Thing with Virple is that they have all the window dressings in the shop window but nothing on the selves. I.E Pre- order or Back- Order nothing available.
