I’ve got some great user photos to share with you guys!
First up we’ve got a great example of some creative implementation of the VPC Desk Mount from one of our Russian users, really shows how versatile these mounts can be!
This is a direct mount to an Ikea chair with the TM 16000M:
Next up, Wasserfall has modified his MT-50 grip with RUS button labels and realistic button colour scheme - it looks great!
What does everyone think of the Russian button labels??
Can’t read them, but they look great!
That is very cool! Label, meh (that’s a me thing - quality wise, nice!) 
but the mount looks very nice!

Today VIRPIL Controls are pleased to introduce the next evolution of the VPC MongoosT-50 Grip, the MongoosT-50CM (Серийная модернизированная / “Standard Upgraded”) Grip.
This grip aims to more accurately replicate the look and feel of the real grip based on suggestions we’ve received from the community. Changes include:
The VPC MongoosT-50CM will be available for 179.95 EUR from 30th October.
Other changes in the VPC MongoosT-50 Grip lineup based on popular demand is that we will also begin offering a left hand VPC MongoosT-50 LH Black Edition also from 30th October.
Finally, there will also be a price drop on the standard VPC MongoosT-50 Grip to 139.95 EUR!
Stay tuned for future announcements!

► VPC Configurator Light Software Release
The VPC Configurator Light software is now available for download!
This is the basic version of the VPC Configurator software, designed to allow for precise calibration and tweaking of the axes found on the VPC MongoosT-50 Flightstick, as well as allowing firmware updates to add more features, fixes and compatibility with future grips.
The user guide can be found here:
VPC Configurator Light - User Guide
We are continuing to develop the full version of the VPC Configurator software which will include features such as shift states, mode creation, button mapping and more.
Stay tuned for more news soon!
Designed initially with atmospheric flight sims in mind, the VPC MongoosT-50 cams exhibited an increasing non-linear tension towards the outer edges of the sticks deflection. This behaviour allows for greater control of of the aircraft as you can feel when you are coming up to 100% deflection easily, granting the pilot the ability to fly right on the limits based on muscle memory alone.
The VPC MongoosT-50 Flightstick has also become popular with many space-sim pilots as well - pilots that prefer different control nuances for absolute accuracy. As standard atmospheric flight physics do not apply in space, we’ve been requested to create a new set of cams to account for this.
VPC are very pleased to announce, that in our continued efforts to supply the community with what they really want, we have successfully designed a new set of CosmoSim cams for the VPC MongoosT-50 Flightstick!
These results were created with the VPC MongoosT-50 Flightstick, 125mm (50mm + 75mm) extensions with the medium springs, and pre-tensioners loaded 1/2 of max. Different extensions and springs will change the total force required of each cam, but the response curves should remain relatively consistent.
Our new CosmoSim cams exhibit less of a center detent than both the 1-Dot (40% less) and 2-Dot (25% less) cams and the force required at the outer edges of deflection is also significantly less than both the 2-Dot (40% less) and 3-Dot (55% less) cams.
The force required at max deflection is slightly increased over the 1-Dot cams (12.5% higher) to aid in the overall centering and performance of the cam due to the lack of a center detent.
These cams will be available for purchase from our www.virpil.by webstore!

Nice discount there!
Would be lovely if we could get that discount on throttle!
