Introducing VPC – About Us
VPC (VirPil Controls) is a team comprised of designers, engineers, software developers and virtual pilots with the goal of bringing in a new class of high-end, high precision flight controllers to the consumer market.

28th December 2016 // Announcement No. 01
VPC MongoosT-50 Flight Controller —The dream of every virtual pilot.

Even yesterday this was just a dream, but soon, you could be one of the first virtual pilots to take to the skies with our brand new flight controller based on the fifth-generation of Russian fighter jets.

Immagine

Today, VIRPIL.COM are proud to announce our debut flight controller; the VPC MongoosT-50, which consists of a flight stick, dual lever throttle unit and singe-axis rudder pedals. All of which are built with our very own high precision, fully adjustable and all-metal mechanisms.

Immagine

Using a combination of unique engineering solutions, high-tech equipment and materials, alongside the fastest and most precise electronics available, VIRPIL.COM can help virtual pilots realize the true potential of their aircraft.

To compliment our flight controllers, our revolutionary VPC desk mount can transform your computer desk into a full blown simulator cockpit—the VPCockpit, in just a matter of minutes. Allowing ergonomic placement of the flight controls, you will minimize the need to use the keyboard, allowing you to concentrate on the action!

VPC products will be available in the official web store from February 2017.

Stay tuned for further announcements at the http://www.virpil.com website.

30th December 2016 // Announcement No. 02
MongoosT-50 Stick Grip - When design becomes art.

For a very long time it has been the grip that many virtual pilots have dreamed of. Some have tried to create it, but none have succeeded; it eventually became legend.

And now, that long awaited moment is finally here, we present to you the VPC MongoosT-50 Russian fighter jet grip!

Immagine

Like a sculptor chipping away at marble, we have skillfully worked on our design to create a masterpiece; A true work of engineering art.

Featuring a wide array of controls, including:

• Dual-stage Trigger
• Folding Trigger
• 5 Buttons
• Two 4-way Hats
• Two 2-position Switches
• Analog Brake Lever


The ergonomic design also includes an adjustable wrist rest catering for a wide range of hand sizes, allowing long play sessions without experiencing discomfort.

After enduring extensive testing by experienced virtual pilots across the most popular simulators, we are confident in our design.

The VPC MongoosT-50 stick grip will be released February 2017 at a price of €159,00 which includes the TMWH adapter.

Stay tuned for further announcements at the http://www.virpil.com website.

7th January 2017 // Announcement No. 03
VPC MongoosT-50 Mechanics - innovative, adjustable, precise

The mechanics/gimbal are often the most criticized component of any joystick. Even with many different designs and approaches, it has been impossible to please everyone. However, with our design we believe we are closer than ever.

Immagine

Our engineers have designed a compact and elegant solution that allows virtual pilots to control their aircraft with unmatched levels of precision. Both the X/Y axes operate on their own independent cams, with co-axially mounted springs which provide completely separated loading forces. Made from aircraft-grade duralumin, the mechanism is both lightweight and durable.

Our mechanism provides a huge range of adjustability. Each axes spring tension is adjusted via hex socket bolts, which can even be adjusted on-the-fly through the access ports on the top plate, negating the need to disassemble the joystick or replace any springs.

Immagine

Included are 2 different cams; hard-center and soft-center, which can be combined to create your desired stick feel.

The maximum stick deflection is 15º+15º on both axes which provides a sufficient travel range for high levels of accuracy without compromising practicality.

Immagine

Complete instructions on how to adjust the stick perfectly for your needs will be available on VIRPIL.COM.

The joystick can be used in a number of configurations: on the desktop with the VPC base plate, center mounted/side mounted with the VPC desk mount, or floor mounted which will require DIY fitting to your own setup.

The VPC MongoosT-50 flight stick (base and grip) will be available from March 2017 for €289,00.

Stay tuned for further announcements at the http://www.virpil.com website.

Da quello che ho capito, non sarà possibile usare lo stick del warthog sulla base del T50, mentre lo stick del T50 si può usare sulla base del warthog.
Peccato, io stavo facendo un pensierino, ma a livello di joy, preferisco il warthog ( più pulsanti e funzionalità specialmente per F-16 e A10C).
Hi all,

Please, could you let us know if you plan to make an adapter for using the TM Warthog grip with your VPC gimbal? Your mechanism will almost certainly be a night and day improvement for us Warthog users, but the WH grip is just perfect for DCS A-10C & Falcon BMS, having this possibility would be the best of both worlds.

Thanks and keep up the good work!
Risposta: Hi juanmgf!

Due to the high, off-center weight of the TM Warthog grip it would require us to design a new set of cams and extension to maintain a perfect balance while using the grip. Currently our time is being spent finalising other things and getting the VPC MongoosT-50 ready to launch, but if enough users request this (and I've already been asked about it a fair few times) it's definitely something we will consider in the future!

VIRPIL Controls have been working hard to improve and expand every aspect of the company and subsequently the  overall experience delivered to our customers.
We’ve noted every request, suggestion and comment made to us over this year and one that has came up time and time again is about additional distribution centers in the EU.
 
We are very pleased to announce that we now have a distribution center located within the EU!
 
We are also very excited to announce that sales from our EU distribution center will initially be handled exclusively by the official VIRPIL Controls Amazon storefront. In addition to this, we will also be launching our own EU store website to run alongside this in the future.
 
The benefits of this are;
Prices now include VAT
Faster shipping
Quick and painless ordering process via Amazon
 
We are currently in the process of stocking our EU distribution center and sales will open on Amazon, 18th September 2017!
 
Stay tuned for further updates!
insomma, a parte la scarsa cura dei materiali, sembra che stiano iniziando a fare sul serio.

All prices include VAT and orders within the EU will not be subject to any additional customs/import duty. Delivery cost is calculated based on the total weight of the order, not per item. Orders will be dispatched with DPD from our EU warehouse, arriving to most EU customers within 2-5 working days, with full delivery tracking.
Due to the continued high demand we are already experiencing, there may still be some temporary closures to limit the number of orders we receive.

You’ve seen our initial concepts earlier this year, you’ve see our working-prototypes at MAKS 2017 - but today we are incredibly excited to officially announce the VPC MongoosT-50 Throttle!
Based on the feedback from the community, testers and professionals, we’ve made many changes since our initial concepts. This feedback is a true testament of the endless, exciting things that are possible with the help of you, the community!
The VPC MongoosT-50 Throttle is a fully featured, dual-engine throttle unit based on the generation 4 and 4++ modern fighter jets. Designed to complete the VPCockpit MongoosT-50 control set, it can also be used as a stand alone USB device. 
As with the VPC MongoosT-50 Base, the mechanics are constructed from high precision aircraft-grade duralumin which include fully adjustable idle and afterburner detents.
The full feature set includes a huge number of controls surfaces and configuration possibilities that will surely satisfy even the most avid of virtual pilots!

VPC MongoosT-50 Throttle Base
9 x Buttons
7 x Toggle Switches
2 x Axis Dials
3 x Encoders + Push
2 x Throttle Axis
1 x Auxiliary Axis
 
VPC MongoosT-50 Throttle Handles
4 x Buttons
2 x 2-way Switches
1 x 4-way + Push Hat or 1 x Analogue Mini-stick
1 x 4-way Hat
1 x Wheel Axis

With our VPC Configurator software, the 8 x buttons on the base can be assigned up to 40 bindings through the use of shift-states.
The VPC MongoosT-50 Throttle will be available for 239.95 EUR. All existing owners of the VPC Mongoost-50 Grip up until the release of the VPC MongoosT-50 Throttle will receive a special 15% discount code to help them complete their VPCockpit setup! VPC Founder’s Club members will also receive their 5% discount.
Stay tuned for further information including availability and shipping dates!
Regards,
The VirPil Controls Team

Introducing the VPC Constellation Series

VPC are proud to launch our new range of space-sim focused devices, dubbed the VPC Constellation Series. These devices are aimed specifically at satisfying the needs of even the most demanding space-sim pilots!

Immagine

The VPC Constellation Delta will be the first release of the Constellation Series. The Constellation Delta is an ambidextrous entry level space-sim grip designed to be used on the existing VPC MongoosT-50 Base and all future VPC Bases without needing any adapters or modifications. It features a range of controls and space-sim focused features including:

• Dual-Stage Trigger
• 8-Way POV Hat (With Programmable LED Lighting)
• 2 x 5-Way Hat (4-Way + Push)
• 1 x Analog Stick + Push
• 1 x Scroll Wheel + Push
• Optional Twist Axis

Combined with the VPC Configurator, shift states and modes can be configured to increase the total button count. The LED lighting can change to reflect the selected mode.

The VPC Constellation Delta is perfect for a dual stick setup, combined with a left or right hand VPC MongoosT-50 Grip or even as a standalone stick with throttle.

VPC will continue to expand the Constellation Series with more devices in the near future - as always, we’re interested to hear what the community wants to see!

The VPC Constellation Delta is scheduled for release in Q1 2018 with pricing information to follow shortly.

Bye
