Galinette Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 Hi, I have a WarBRD base attached to my simpit by removing the bottom plate (a larger aluminum board with proper drilling acts as the bottom plate) Is the Mongoost base the same footprint and bottom drilling? I thought it was much larger but recently I've looked at the dimensions and it seems to be very similar. The drilling I have currently (sized to the WarBRD) is four 5mm holes, with 69mm and 112mm spacing Thanks!
speed-of-heat Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 yes they are the same, if you look at the mounting plate VIRPIL Controls - VPC Universal Compact Base Plate (virpil-controls.eu) you can see both mongoose and WarBRD are shown on the same base SYSTEM SPECS: Hardware AMD 9800X3D, 64Gb RAM, 4090 FE, Virpil T50CM3 Throttle, WinWIng Orion 2 & F-16EX + MFG Crosswinds V2, Varjo Aero SOFTWARE: Microsoft Windows 11, VoiceAttack & VAICOM PRO YOUTUBE CHANNEL: @speed-of-heat
Galinette Posted March 8, 2022 Author Posted March 8, 2022 Thanks! Damn I'm tempted to swap now... (redoing the full stick seat mount, which also includes ejection handle and is structural, would have been some work) My WarBRD definitely lacks some spring force with the extra heavy spring and 10cm extension, will the Mongoost give me significantly more stiffnesss?

I don't know as i have never had a warbird to compare it to... do note however it is TALLER ... you might find the installed springs are enough SYSTEM SPECS: Hardware AMD 9800X3D, 64Gb RAM, 4090 FE, Virpil T50CM3 Throttle, WinWIng Orion 2 & F-16EX + MFG Crosswinds V2, Varjo Aero SOFTWARE: Microsoft Windows 11, VoiceAttack & VAICOM PRO YOUTUBE CHANNEL: @speed-of-heat
