VIRPIL Control Panel Showcase

- If you are looking to take your sim rig flying experience to the next level then check out these control panels from Virpil!
CORRECTION: The 128 button bind limit is per controller which makes it less of an issue unless you are using Virpil's daisy chain feature linking control panels to other virpil devices. Still good to know but less likely to affect you if you are just plugging them in independently.
-Cheers speed-of-heat!

re the buttons the 128 number is per detected joystick device, so for example i have 104 on one device, 30 something on each mfd (x3) , another 24 on a separate button box... you dont need to use separate software for them to be recognised, i suspect what is happening is that you are chaining the devices through virpil's software or physically via their cable management solution so it looks like one device.
Thanks for the correction speed that must have been what was happening to me very good to know. That certainly makes it less likely to affect most people and much easier to sort out if does. Cheers!
@@jessecalder no worries sir! great work btw!
@@speed-of-heat thanks brother!
Came here for this! Rocking a VKB MCGU but eyeing a CM3 and button box (since VKB can’t seem to get a throttle to market). I’ve been wondering about this limitation and appreciate the clarification!
Yeah, when you daisy chain the button box your game sees your, say throttle + button box as one device for it's cumulative button max. And that's the combination that MAY give you issues, but I dont think so. When I go to Virpil's joystick tester, my CM2 shows 31 buttons, to which you have to add 4x6 more buttons (4 more banks of the 6 momentary keys) so 55 buttons. 128 - 55 gives you 78 buttons of space on the button box, which it surely doesn't have.
DCS has a 128 button limit, I believe Star Citizen recently went up to 100 buttons per device.
Jesse, the info that would be helpful for this is the number of buttons the Virpil Joy tester says each button box has! It LOOKS like the one with the level has 42 + the light controls, and maybe 47 for the pure button box. So the pure button box + throttle might have small issues with SC.
I have the first button box and it's great. I also have the 3rd version of the Virpil throttle (finally a AAA throttle with a center detent!) and I really like how my pc can see them as one unit, but I'm also glad I have the flexibility to separate them. The setup is firmware-based so there's no need to leave any utility open while using these sticks to make use of your custom settings. I love that.
Fantastic stuff Jesse as always and thank you. I've been looking forward to your review on these two panels for awhile. I'm sold and will be purchasing these in the near future because of this review.
Just received panels 1 & 2 Jesse, and they're amazing to say the least. Good call sir and well done.
damit every time i have some money saved why.
Thank you for being very clear about the dials, most people who show this off aren't. Actually SHOWING us the range of all the switch and dials motion was a nice touch that answered the question in the back of my mind about the dials.
i was waiting for yo to make a video on these im so glad u did!
Awesome video, Jesse! Thanks for the thorough review.
Thanks for these Virpil vids, Jesse. Just built a new pc and gonna be looking at upgrading my space sim experience. These are incredibly informative and will be looking at buying some Virpil products while I’m stationed their side of the pond. 👍🏼
Wicked Vegas thanks for watching! And thanks for your service brother! Hope ya get home soon.
Your videos are exceptionally well done. You also seem to be really thorough when talking about products and pointing out flaws when they are found. I really appreciate that. Thanks
Very kind JDub thank you sir!
@@jessecalder thank YOU. I feel like I can make a well informed decision after watching your reviews. Plus your content is enjoyable
Another great review, thanks Jesse
--- I will probably add a couple Control Panels, super cool stuff 👍🏼👍🏼
I just got both panels and the cm3 throttle a couple weeks ago. These are a game changer for vr pilots.
Awesome as always Jesse you've probably got enough kit now to fit out your own airforce
Damn, that setup is beautiful
Damn I’ve never seen that kind of video quality on any review channel ever!
You are really underrated and I think you deserve a lot more subs and likes :)
Thank you Ex0 I really appreciate that man!
Another cool vid, virpil kit so cool.
This man is the Garand Thumb of the nerds. Plus these videos are higher quality than the products he reviews. Love your stuff, man.
You made my day brother thank you for the kind words! I am in very good company being likened to GT. Thanks so much for the boost man very very appreciated! Cheers!
"All right, Time to ghost that gear lever"
@@Pitchlock8251 that's got to be a 4....maybe 5 pound gear lever break. MMMMM yeah 5 pound break with firm detents. feels so good.
THE RETURN OF THE KING
You should do more of these videos. Show off the new VKB panels or the winwing ones.
Awesome review video! Makes me want to invest hardcore in Virpil controls for sure. Your video quality keeps getting better! I would love to hear your opinions on the Sony A7s III now that you have had it a while. I have been shopping for Full Frame Cameras for video production.
Thanks Mit! Sony A7sIII is still an incredible camera. Head and shoulders above even my A7III on account of its SLOG3 and 4k/120fps. Just love it. I'm not sure you can go wrong with it and Sony is droppin new lenses now like its their job. Wait....
Oi nah, your video quality is so damn good.
Thanks Tom!!
@@jessecalder your channel deserves so much more subs! One day it’s going to happen!
Look great and the quality of Virpil appears to be awesome. Very unfortunate that everything is on permanent backorder.
I see the utility of momentary switches but I am waiting for something like this with maintained contact switches and maybe even buttons.
Jesse, no more sexy sim kit please!
Just spent money on a VKB Gunfighter stick + base, already spent on VKB pedals, no money left for anything else!
That panel looks mmmighty fine!
XD MOAR GEAR
@@jessecalder fffffine!
I had said this before, but am saying it again......."Man!!!!! Your voice!!!!!!.....ahhhh ASMR"
Just got my dual Alphas in
Definitely thinking about getting these to go with them
Supposedly Star Citizen is adding more control updates to make these switch boxes work without 3rd party software
Shouldn't be too hard. I have dual NXT premium sticks, I have every button bound and don't use any 3rd party software. Just go into advanced settings and choose the option you want and click the button you want it bound to.
Now to find a way to sneak it past the wife... Great video! Love your flight control reviews.
Haha thanks Spektre appreciate that man! and good luck may the credit card be with you!
I MISS THE STREAMS
Cool video, and a good outline of the two controls. I got panel 2 based on your video, looks right up my alley. Do you have any ETA for info about panel 3? I'm wondering how... nuts they can go.
I wish I knew Giliar! I think there are draft designs somewhere in their blog if I remember correctly. Maybe do some searching there. Enjoy your new kit when it arrives!
You need to review the Winwing Throttle....
I was just thinking about you and wondering when will Jesse release a video on the new control panels and then boom! My question is do you use Monstertech for your mounting solution for your control box or virpils'?
I used the Virpil desk mounts for this video but I am routinely moving back and forth between different brands for making videos so the answer is both. What I can say with confidence though is they both work well at their respective price points.
Great video as always.... do you have any insight to the vkb TEC throttle?
Thanks Chris!
Interesting video. Wondering, have you done a review of the WinWing setup. There throttle, HOTAS and button boxes? Would be interested in your thoughts. Been thinking if getting into DCS.
Still workin on getting my hands on a Wingwing hotas Old Codger. I'll make it happen one of these days one way or another!
Awesome review.
At 4:48, how did you mount the button boxes to your desk?
Those are attached to the Virpil desk mount via an adapter they sell for attaching their button boxes to their desk mount. In other words the same mount that is holding the stick to the desk is also where the control panels are attached.
I've never imported anything from Latvia/Lithuania before. My full Virpil HOTAS makes me feel so ...worldly.
mr worldwide
I thought porn wasn't allowed on TH-cam...
High quality video and products. Good stuff.
Wondering if you have templates for your bindings for the Virgil panels in flight sim?
I know.. everyone says “customize it to your liking” but I really am interested in how everyone else does it.
I'm a simple guy. I see a video from Jesse, I buy product.
I am really glad that I saw His video on the CosmoSima from VKB before I bough one. When he mentioned the flashing rubbing on the thumb having a sharp edge, it pushed me over the edge on going VirPil. My hands are not small, and that sharp edge would have been bugging me a lot.
@@NTovaar I have yet to try a Virpil stick but I love their control panels and throttles, I want to eventually get a Constellation Alpha but I'm still on the VKB ecosystem. I'm interested to seeing Jesse compare the VKB F-14 to the Virpil VFX and then I may finally convert over to more virpil gear.
@@MattBoone_ And here I am wondering if I should go from Virpil to VKB because of Jesse's previous video, lol
@@sinepilot That gunfighter ultimate is nice and will always be my primary stick for aviation but I lean towards Virpil for Space sim peripherals.
@@MattBoone_ You make a great point. I have been playing more Star Citizen than DCS or MSFS lately so that might explain/support my gravitation in the Virpil direction.
Still trying to figure out if I want virpil or vkb or even winwing. Any input will help out?
Jesse what games do you play with these? Do you do vids of those?
Can a VKB Gunfighter be mounted to these or would it need to be modified?
Does the landing gear lever have an option to bypass that center position on the cam/detent?
You can flip the detent piece over for a two position option (I learned after making the video unfortunately)
@@jessecalder awesome, that makes it even more a sure buy for me! Thank you!
Separating the two caps is really hard any tips
how did you mount the controls like that?
ordered #2 panel and CM3 4 weeks ago, hopefully ship soon; my 2 Alpha are stuck at Memphis =[, for those who want to order, pay for better shipping, don't do the FedEx economy... was stuck at France for 7 days...
@Andre just process the payment today so should be another 2 weeks, I hope FedEx don't screw up the shipping again...
@Andre hopefully but not giving that much hope lol, they said the back order is 5 weeks to bill and then 2 weeks to ship lol
A slight aside: I'm about to install my Virpil HOTAS plus rudder pedals. I already have my VR headset. What advice for using this kit without lifting my headset?
The more you use your HOTAS the more you’ll commit it to memory. The whole point of a HOTAS is so you don’t have to think to hard or take your hands off the controls to do things. Eventually it will become second nature and you certainly won’t need to look at them. If it’s a newer headset it may have cameras on the front that you can activate to see the real world (keyboard for example) if you need to.
@@jessecalder much obliged👍
Im new to flight sim games can these control boxes be used on Microsoft flight simulator?? Or what are they mainly for??
They sure can! Any flight/space sim you can play, these accessories are made for them.
How does one use this in conjunction with VR? I was considering just using voice attack rather than a button box.
Button boxes help a lot in VR as its much easier to feel the difference between buttons than it is keyboard keys. The buttons and switches and dials are all laid out pretty logically too so these are a big plus in VR cockpits.
Hello, im totally lost with the configuration :D I have the control panel 2 (with the landing gear), and with this one come only 3 encoder dials (trim knob) , but i can not succes to make them work as axis dials in DCS...I try to make this dials work as "virtual axis" without sucess. But maybe im not making it in the good way. I would like to use it for flood light or any progressiv fonction. If any idea or info i take it :D Thanks ;)
Skint life continues...
... and a Partride in a pear treeeee.
But witch one should i Buy?
Two of each.
I don't need it..I don't need it..😖 I need it! 🤓
😄
Great video as always Jesse. I understand the expense with the throttles, sticks and bases but how can they justify $300 for a metal panel box with some nice buttons? I know that they use high quality buttons and switches but I can't imagine they would add up to anything close to the asking price for these especially with bulk buying factored in.
Make one to the same standard and find out exactly how much it costs. Just because you "can’t imagine" the costs involved in product development, marketing, distribution, labour and everything else involved with manufacturing; does not mean they do not exist.
I suggest you concentrate your energy on saving your money for all the pretty things you want, instead of grumbling about how expensive everything is.
Wait, why is my wallet empty, this channel strikes again
Wtf with your voice dude, pls never snap your fingers lol🤣🤣..... Also nice vid👌
Hah thanks brother XD
Just find them too expensive compared to the winwing ones.
RGB in White ??? xD xD xD
Can you set the CRM114 to DISCRIMINATE?
Hey dude I love your vids, I was wondering if u reply to Insta dms, my name is Cohan and I have tried a couple of times to reach out to you :)
I can't stand their attachment to these encoder dials. Axis have always been so much more useful to me. The encoder never manages to simulate an axis properly.
I want to see what you made, I don't want to see your face
