New Virpil VPC throttle inbound! The T-50CM2!

RANDOM OBSERVATIONS

  • The right hand side lever marked FLAPS is a little stiff for my taste.
  • The throttle resistance seems about perfect.
  • There is no detent for A/B, nor is there a lift up stop at the rear of the throttle travel. I will miss that.
  • As someone noted in the only review on the VPC site, there is a little slack in the latch between the two throttles. However, the method of latching is easier to engage than the TM WH.
  • All of the switch feedback and clicks are very Toyota like. Build quality is superb.
  • The roteries on each end of the throttle grips as well as those on the right-rear of the throttle base are interesting. They do not show up as axis, but rather pulse a DX code when rotated in one direction and a different one in the other direction. Very thoughtful way to program these as they will have more application possibilities than if they were axis.

The mounting brackets that VPC make to attach this throttle to a TM WH mounting plate are out of stock. I used 2 x 2" inch wide strips of industrial Velcro to attach. The stuff that guitarist mount foot pedals to a board. It’s not going anywhere.

Using my MonsterTech TM WH mounting plate.
