Happy Halloween pilots! π
We caught something chilling on camera last night at VIRPIL UK!
Looks like a wandering ghost wanted to take a test flight on one of our simpits, and who can blame them! π»πΉοΈ
Will you be joining them for a fright flight this weekend?
Take a look under the hood of the VPC WarBRD-D and MongoosT-50CM3 Bases and see how different cam and spring combinations can completely change the feel of your flightstick!
Both bases come with alternate cam profiles and spring strengths included in the box so you can customise the way you fly, even with different cams/springs on each axis! πΉοΈ
What combination is your go to? βοΈ
The CDT-AERO Grip sets a new standard for versatility! πΉοΈ With the left variant now shipping out - this is the perfect grip for pilots who fly multiple sims/aircraft and don't want to compromise on inputs!
The CDT-AERO Grip can be equipped onto a HOSAS setup for serious space dogfights, and then swapped straight onto your VIRPIL Collective base for when you're back on Earth in the seat of your favourite helicopter! π π
VIRPIL Controls supports your right to repair! πΉοΈ If your VPC devices need replacement parts, even outside of warranty - the VIRPIL Controls tech team has you covered! We can either repair your devices for you in-house and replace parts as needed, or we can send parts to you with instructions if you'd prefer to do your own repairs.
In most cases we can even supply parts for legacy devices to keep your sim gear going for many more flights to come!
So if your device ever needs a little TLC, don't hesitate to reach out to contact our support team and we'll see what we can do! πͺ
@TeslaManUtd Hi! Production of the Left AEROMAX Sticks started at the end of last month and have been shipping out - please contact our support team with your order information for an updated ETA on your order!
Choose from a selection of extension lengths and styles to suit your setup, from 50mm all the way up to 200mm! πΉοΈ
Incorporating extensions doesn't just create a custom height for flying comfort, they also increase the range of travel of your VPC Flightstick, increasing precision and allowing smoother handling. Extensions can also be combined together to reach the height you require.
For space simmers, a Z-Extension can transform your flightstick into an omnithrottle device, whilst also improving ergonomics with its adjustable angle π
We're also continuing work on our new adjustable gooseneck extension to our lineup, which will be a perfect match for our upcoming Archer-SF Cyclic Grip! Stay tuned!
Throttles and Universal Control Panels combos are a match made in heaven for virtual pilots!
Having realistic throttle control is an essential part of any HOTAS, and having a control panel close by programmed with associated actions such as the landing gear or engine controls makes every take off and landing a breeze π«
You can set them up in tandem with VPC mounts and adapters, including the Universal Angled Panel Mount which is an especially convenient way for desktop pilots to upgrade their throttle with more inputs!
VIRPILs, what throttle and control panel combo is your top pick? π€
With production of the CDT-AEROMAX Left and Z variants now in full swing - it's time to dominate the universe with the VPC Cadet Series and initial reports from space pilots have been overwhelmingly positive! π πͺ
Thank you to everyone for your patience - we're sure you're going to love your new AEROMAX HOSAS and Omnithrottle setups!
It's what's inside that counts!
We produce the internal mechanisms of every device to the highest quality standards so you can trust that your setup performs impeccably in the skies for every flight πΉοΈ
One way we achieve this is with our CNC manufacturing, completed in-house at our EU factory, which produces some of the most important metal components in our sim gear - even the gimbals in our popular entry-level CDT-AEROMAX Flightstick gets the all important metal cam gimbal!
Every VIRPIL device gimbal also contains our VPC Contactless Digital Sensor, bringing incredible precision and accuracy to your sim flying and reliability with its magnetic sensing that won't wear out or drift π§²
We've got a behind-the-scenes look at the pre-production of the hugely popular VPC Archer-SF Cyclic Grip!
Our R&D department are completing the grip molds to be used on the final prototypes of this exciting new device! πΉοΈ
As VIRPIL's first cyclic grip we are determined to perfect every detail before we begin production on the final devices, so we can be sure that helicopter pilots are fully satisfied with this new addition to their rotary sim setup! π
Expert Series is our range of devices designed with flight sim pros in mind, with top-tier functionality and the highest level of production quality πΉοΈ
The flagship device in this series is the FLNKR, which is VIRPIL's most advanced flightstick grip ever! It features a unique 3-trigger module, contactless analogue stick, and laser engraved labels on its metal body available in two languages.
To complete your Expert HOTAS look to the VMAX Prime Throttle with its metal throttle handles, customisable front-lift detent system, and a huge range of inputs.
Both the FLNKR and VMAX Prime also include swappable button models for next level customisation and our premium eco-leather dust covers exclusively made for Expert Series devices!
Is there a device that you'd like to see added to the Expert Series lineup? We'd love to hear your ideas! βοΈ
It's the little things that can give you the edge you need in flights, and VPC Toggle Caps certainly suit that description!
The set includes 12 pieces with 4 styles and can be used to customise the toggle switches found on our control panels, throttles, and even some of our grips πΉοΈ
The distinct shapes mean you can easily identify toggles without looking, which is ideal for those intense moments where you can't take your eyes off the action and for VR pilots too!
Dominate the universe with VPC Constellation ALPHA Prime Grips πͺ
With a metal body, customisable RGB LED lighting, a host of incredibly versatile inputs, and left and right hand variants - it's no surprise that it's one of the most popular VIRPIL Controls devices we've released πΉοΈ
Add the ALPHA Prime to your simpit and see for yourself why this flightstick is loved by virtual pilots from the atmosphere out through space! π
We love to see our devices being used in unexpected ways! πΉοΈ
Here's the CDT-AEROMAX-R Flightstick assisting https://t.co/XaCBkOX0HP in flying their advanced airships to safeguard infrastructures across Europe such as railways, powerlines, and pipelines to identify risks and help prevent disruption, blackouts, and gas leaks. Incredible!

The VIRPIL US Team has just received this shipment of VIRPIL Controls goodies to their Tampa warehouse! π¬
They'll be working to get these VPC upgrades out to pilot cockpits across America in the days ahead πΊπΈ
Production of right and left CDT-AEROMAX Z Variants is now well under way!πΉοΈπΉοΈ
We know pilots have been waiting patiently for these much anticipated devices, so we're pleased to share these photos from our factory in Lithuania with you!
These units will begin to fly home to simpits soon, with more on the way! βοΈ
Take your VIRPIL rudder pedals to the next level!
Add adjustable axis damping to your VPC Rudder Pedals with the Damper Upgrade Kit. This kit not only improves the accuracy and precision of inputs by smoothing your movements and reducing spring-back, but also creates a more realistic and immersive rudder control experience in your cockpit! βοΈ
The Damper Upgrade Kit can also be adjusted to increase or reduce the damping affect, and can be combined with removing the centering spring for pedals that stay in place whilst retaining axis movement tension!
One of the βββββ reviews for the CDT-AERO-R Grip!
The CDT-AERO takes the grip portion from the CDT-AEROMAX Flightstick and creates a seperate device than can work with our existing modular VPC flightstick bases and extensions!
