I would love to see a VVS-style indicator lights panel for DCS, especially with the upcoming Mig-29.

I truly can't wait to pick up my collective, 64D grip and of course this. Nicely done virpil!!

[@BaronVonMyakin]

Thanks a lot! 💪

[@ZoeSummers1701A]

Your manual says after fitting the lever should be in the ‘upper’ position to avoid weakening the spring; do you mean by upper that the collective is pulled as up as it will go? Or pushed down as far as it will go?

Shout out to all those that had to figure this out for themselves like I did before the tutorial

[@RW-zn8vy]

Wdym the instructions are on the website 😂

The hardware is truly great. Any new items are just extra frosting on the cake. BUT… the software… PLEASE MAKE IT EVEN SIMPLER USER EXPERIENCE-WISE! 1 or 2 fewer clicks to accomplish configurations of buttons and fine-tuning axis behaviors would be godly 😊

My collective squeaks now with the counter balance kit. Anybody got a fix?

[@doifeellucky]

I have an Alpha Prime on a CM3 with a 200 extension and a CM3 throttle. I’m considering a collective but I’m not sure about the grip. Might get a left Alpha Prime to also use with a Warbrd D as HOSAS later for more flexibility. Do the collectives work without a grip? Thanks.

Hello!
VPC Rotor TCS Base and VPC Rotor Plus TCS Base are working fine with any VIRPIL Controls Grips!
Many pilots use VPC Constellation ALPHA and VPC Constellation ALPHA Prime left grips for collective controls.

[@doifeellucky]

@@VIRPILControlsBut will the collective function without a grip installed?

[@VIRPILControls]

@@doifeellucky You'll need to create a profile and calibrate axes. For this the grip is needed.
Using the device without a grip was not tested and we do not recommend doing so.
