My sim is equipped with Virpil stick, Throttle, Collective and Pedals (with damper). It really is super quality gear and their support is great too. My new Warbird stick base developed an intermittent fault so they courier collected, fixed it, and returned within 5 working days (UK). The software is excellent, and controls work instantly in MSFS2020. Light years ahead of my original Komodo gear.
what pc & monitor do you use? i’m new to flight sim and have been doing a lot of research for flight sim setups and got all the high quality items and also pre ordered the VPC FLNKR Grip. I never really been a big PC person so i’d rather not make the mistake of buying a crappy pc & monitor. My budget for a PC would be around $1,200 USD (since i spent so much money on the flight sim setup i don’t have too much left to spend for a pc🤣) Let me know your thoughts and recommendations, Thanks!
The FLNKR grip looks like a real winner imho, I’m not sure where Virpil are positioning the new throttle its either an upgrade or its not they need to clear up that messaging
I wish Virpil would support the SimPit builders better. They’d do very well if they did replica sticks and throttles for those looking for drop in solutions for proper full simpits. Winwing and Thrustmaster seem to realize the potential market for full simpits and desk pits that lead to full pits. I’d like to see Virpil in the space as well because of their quality levels.
Just got my first Virpil stick (and base). Definitely have gone down the Virpil rabbit hole now as I already had rudder pedals and collective. Next on the list - button box. This hobby is sooooooooooooooooooooooo expensive. Hehehe...
at 0.31 sec in the video there is a setup with a NAV and autopilot panel mounted on top of the Honeycomb throttle, where can i buy that what brand is it? thanks you!
can anyone help me ? my sim keeps crashing on start up it gets to the screen with 3 ga aircraft the one on the right is a red seaplane, it so frustrating. its since I updated a mandatory update. xplane is looking good this is so frustrating 3 nights now trying to get it going

I am kind of disappointed, I must say. As a lomg time user of virpil comtrols, Imso much hoping for a ForceFeedback Base at last.... But once again nothijg in the pipeline that makes an very well made toy into something that can be used to let the toy become a real sim attechment. So I hope that the MOZA base that is coming up will be compatible with my alpha grip.
FFB flight gear is relative new to the market. I would prefer for them to wait a bit and make it a better product than just jumping into the bandwagon.

and btw i don’t have a full immersive sim setup and im not using VR. I would be at my desk and just use a single monitor

They said that the cm3 will remain as long as people buy it. The new throttle isn’t a direct upgrade per-say but it’s an upgrade.
Virpil is considering them as upgrades and the top of their line.

@@JenniferinIllinois Virpil should issue a warning on sale….warning this is addictive! 🤣

@@OrazioBarna Octavi.
VPC FLNKR is awesome. But one stage trigger makes it no-go for myself.
It is three stage trigger 😀
@@SimHangerFS There are three triggers. But main trigger don't have 2 stages which is very important for A-10C and its PAC autopilot.
@@jaromirandel543 I'm sure you can assign it to the flip trigger if need be.
👍👍I have a question: do you need to use the Virpil software for the products to work in FS, or do can they work directly in FS? I do like the quality.
You can use it directly in sim. Just calibrate first
@@SimHangerFS Thank you so much! You are always so helpful! 😎😎❤❤

They have announced FFB base in development 😊

I too am disappointed: still no right-handed throttle for us lefties. The rise of space sims gave us proper left-handed sticks, but then it stopped.
@@SewerShark FFB isn't new
WinWing has one coming soon.
