Virpil Controls were kind enough to send me an awesome care package in the form of the WarBRD Base and the T-50CM2 Stick Grip and here is my review of what I think of them!
I has been a bit of a project getting the stick and grip working and playing nice with windows and DCS. But now that it is set up I love flying with the T-50CM2 stick grip and the WarBRD base! The base itself is extremely precise and rugged and makes flying in DCS an incredibly fun experience. The T-50CM2 grip itself is covered in buttons and you will be able to map any button, switch or function you would need on the stick with no problem.
A huge thank you to Virpil Controls for sending me the WarBRD Base and T-50CM2 Grip and I look forward to using them for a long time to come! Check out Virpil's website here:

Thank you for the review. Got myself the T50 throttle recently and love it, even though the software is a challenge to understand. Considering the T50 grip next.

Building a new flight sim setup.. I have been out of flight sims for close to 10 years, the quality of this Virpil stuff is awesome. I already have the VPC MongoosT-50CM2 Base, and just ordered the VPC MongoosT-50CM2 Grip, and VPC ACE-2 Rudder Pedals. Soon as they restock I'm going to grab the VPC MongoosT-50CM Throttle. Can't wait... Jan. I will build a new PC.

Spudknocker totally agree. I preordered right before the V3 T-50 came out and was upgraded to it. Luckily I found out and got the V2 with the detents (the final batch) and I couldn’t be happier. I think Virpil really dropped the ball by removing the detents.

I was considering getting rid of my Warthog base in favour of the Virpil WarBRD base, however, I'm now giving serious consideration to getting it with the T-50CM2 stick too. I did consider the F-14 stick (as I've recently got the F-14) but I suspect that this wouldn't necessarily be the best stick for use with the various aircraft I fly in DCS.

I appreciate the review and heads-up about tuning and configuring the Virpril product. I would, however, have liked to hear your opinion on the fidelity of the Virpril product(s) versus the Thrustmaster product(s). Is the Virpril base and stick more responsive, or a better "feel", than the Thrustmaster base? Would the Virpril base plus Thrustmaster grips be the ultimate setup?
@silentone11111111
@silentone11111111 4 года назад
Michael Powell virpil base vastly better. Very smooth. Thrustmaster grip works fine. You can compensate re the extra weight by changing the springs if you need too. A slight issue is there is no lock to stop the grip twisting. Which is a bit irritating.

Mounting must be done with the included u-bracket to ensure safe operation." Is it still possible to mount the base on a "flat" surface with screws or do I have to make an adapter for the so called u-bracket?

You use a Curve of 16 and Deadzone 6? Why such high Values? I have VKB Gladiator MK. II and added some Silicone PTFE Oil to make it move easier. I'm using Curve of 3 to 5 and 0 Deadzone and used to be to control within few Millimeters around Center Area mainly. How is this with VPC WarBRD Base, as it uses 2 Cams per Axis? Is there some sort of "Physical Deadzone"? Oh, and... Axis Coordinator and Webcam seems not be synchronous. Otherwise, you seem to have a bad USB Delay Issue...

@@Al-Azraq So did you change the cams and / or springs then to cause this? I only ask because I didn't think this was possible without doing this? I left mine as stock and there's not enough slack in the cable on mine for it to go anywhere other than where it should I don't think. I'm slightly concerned because I don't use the base on a proper mount, instead I have a homemade centre mount on a seat that I then use thumbscrews to secure it to whenever I play DCS. I don't want to end up unintentionally doing the same as you guys by attaching and detaching the base to its mount 2 or 3 times a week.

I noticed you had to use both hands when pushing buttons on the stick a couple of times. Looks a bit awkward and was wondering if the head of the stick was too large for your hand. Not sure if I could handle it, I have hands that wear a medium glove, so I might find it hard to reach some of the buttons. Your review was pretty short in going over the different buttons.

Virpil needs to replace it with a metal one or at least better materials. My CH Products USB gear has lasted over 20 years If it wasn't for the non-existent support broken software and crappy 8bit POTS it uses for sensors I would probably still be using it.

@zaelu
@zaelu 4 года назад
The cams feel awful. Planes don't have constant variation of resistance either, it depends on the speeds and if controls are boosted or not. So you just change a broken watch with another. Also on fly by wire planes is completely useless "realism". Also any side mount renders the cams idea dumb. I still wait for a magnetic FFB stick that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I had the G940 and for all its bads it could reproduce the variable resistance speed dependant and also could reproduce the heli trim. This cams... bleah... Supposedly they have the benefit of giving the feel of separation between Ailerons and Elevator... like in RL... thanks... not needed while flying from a desk in a warm living room feeling nothing from the flight itself. I prefer having no separation like the Warthog stick provides than having same awful separation no matter the plane and/or situation.
