Thanks for a very good review.
hope you can do the same for their throttles.
can you show how did you connect the CM2 base to your rig?
I’m using a modular aluminium profile rig and wanted to know how this base cam be connected securely with its own mounting solution.
First of all, thank you!
Second, that’s a great piece of rig you made for yourself there. I like your older black seat
About the base adapter… I’m looking for something which doesn’t involve CNC, because it will be too expensive where I live.
On my older job I had more freedom to do things like you’re doing and also had the option to use profile accessories when I needed to. now this is not the case, so I’m designing with my wallet instead with my creativity
This was a great review @Troll I really enjoyed reading your views on a product I’ve been using over for a good long while but dont have the funds to purchase.
thanks @chipwich, but because I have an aluminium custom rig, the retail mounts won’t do me any good. I’ll have to design something and manufacture it myself in order to mount it to my rig.
I’ve added a shortish 50mm extension to my VPC/TM stick with outstanding results. It’s allowed me to removed the pitch and roll curves that I usually use in my controller setups, without loosing precision near the center point. The stick is so comfortable and the base so solid yet smooth, that I am doubtful I could have a better stick setup. Nearing stick nirvana at this point. Using the light springs and default cams.
Currently I’m using one T-50 base from the last batch that Virpil made last year. I wonder after your review if it worth to put the old one on sale to get the new one. Is really worth the upgrade with all the improvements on the current model? Thanks and thanks for the review
The short answer to your question is, no, not really…
But let me expand on that as I’m touching on the subject in the review.
I was quite happy with my original MT-50 base unit and I wasn’t looking for something to replace it with.
When I got the MT-50CM2 I found that it was pretty much just an improvement over the original MT-50. I guess you can call the AUX port an evolutionary step, as that will allow you to use the upcoming control panels. But if that’s not in your future, the MT-50CM2 won’t give you anything that you don’t already have.
I am quite interested in the future control panels, and since I had the review unit in my hand, I didn’t want to part with it, so I bought it.
I hope that answers your question. Just let me know if you want to know more.
I don’t know, actually…
I don’t think it’s as simple as a shift register extension as VPC are planning on digital angular sensors in the control panels.
I would love to see VPC sell DIY control panel sets where you could design your own…
Hey guys, necroing the thread to ask a question I swore I asked before, but couldn’t remember where, or the answer. I’m currently using a WarBrd with 6" ext and a TM Hornet grip. It’s very precise, but it suffers from feeling very undamped. Said another way, it feels very “boingy boingy boingy” when making adjustments. I’m wondering, does the MT-50CM2 have more of a dampened feel to it?
