@Joebathehut_ Was this the Me 262 at the RIAT 2023? We are jealous! 🤯

Today the VIRPIL UK team popped down to the Ironbridge WWII Weekend event to catch a glimpse of this beautiful warbird in the air! What an amazing experience - turn on the sound! 🛩️🫡🇬🇧

Which special or interesting aircraft have you been lucky enough to see flying in person? Make us jealous!

@BodaZen 😍 Incredible!!

From render to prototype!
Our designers are testing an early version of one of our upcoming CDT-AEROMAX add-ons, the control panel module!
This will add extra button inputs to your flightstick (featuring customisable RGB LEDs of course!), giving your AEROMAX extra functionality within a single unit.

Following feedback from pilots on earlier previews our R&D team are working on implementing changes to upcoming modules such as being able to use the CDT-AEROMAX Throttle Module simultaneously.

Our team had a bit of fun and also put together an emergency stop button module for when that SAM site takes you out one too many times! 😄

We’re looking forward to sharing more about the control panel module and others coming to the AEROMAX lineup in the future. For now check out our first released add-on, the Throttle Module!

The CDT-AEROMAX Flightsick has been a huge hit with the flightsim community, providing the incredible smoothness and precision granted with its full CNC metal axis gimbal!

But we've heard the requests - some virtual pilots would prefer lighter springs on their CDT-AEROMAX. The springs chosen for it's standard configuration provide accurate centering when using the clutch dampers, as well as suitable tension for either desktop or mounted setups.

We've been testing two new additional spring sets for the CDT-AEROMAX Flightstick; a "Light Spring Set" and an "Extra Light Spring Set".

When moving from the standard spring set to the extra light spring set, this reduces the spring force at maximum deflection from approximately 1.6kg down to 0.7kg, with the light spring set sitting in between.

Will you be swapping the springs on your CDT-AEROMAX Flightstick? Keep an eye on our page for news on availability!

Hi, the taxes listed on the checkout is the Spanish IVA (Impuesto sobre el Valor Añadido). This is decided by your local government and is currently rated at 21%. It is paid on the vast majority of goods consumer goods purchased in Spain and unfortunately we have no control over this. I hope this helps!

We still need to put some more time into Nuclear Option, but we hear a lot of good things! Something you'd recommend for sim fans?

Regarding your order - please drop a ticket in with our support team with your order info and they can give you the latest ETA! Thankyou for your patience, we hugely appreciate it!!

Put on your flight suit pilots, it's FRIDAY! 🥳
We're excited to take our favourite planes for a spin in the virtual skies over the next couple of days 🛩️
What will your wings for the weekend be?🪽Let us know in the comments!

Helicopter pilots - report in!

We’ve been paying close attention to the comments posted on our recent Cyclic teasers and we’ve noted one comment which has came up multiple times… hats!

The real grip we are modelling from features 3 x 2-way (+push) hats, with 2 x 4-way (+push) hats. However, there have been repeated requests to make all the hats into 4-way (+push) hats to increase the versatility of the grip.

So the VIRPIL R&D Team got to work - they’ve modified the design to allow for all hats to operate as 4-way (+push) hats, and yes, they are gated! The hat caps have also been modified to allow the previously 2-way switches to operate comfortably as 4-ways.

Is this shaping up to be your next flight grip upgrade? 🚁🕹️
