CDT-AERO-R include a base?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eNo — the CDT-AERO-R is a grip only. You need a compatible base (VPC WarBRD-D or VPC MongoosT-50CM3) to use it. If you don't already own one, you can purchase a base separately or consider the CDT-AEROMAX-R Flightstick, which is an all-in-one unit with base and grip combined. Call us on \u003ca href=\"tel:0488385870\" style=\"color:#0277bd;font-weight:600;\"\u003e0488 385 870\u003c\/a\u003e if you're unsure which option suits you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat is the difference between the CDT-AERO-R and CDT-AEROMAX-R?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eThe CDT-AEROMAX-R is an all-in-one flightstick — base and grip integrated into one unit at a lower combined price point. The CDT-AERO-R is just the grip, designed for pilots who already own a WarBRD-D or MongoosT-50CM3 base and want to upgrade to the AEROMAX grip shape and control layout without replacing their premium base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eCan I use this grip for a dual-stick H.O.S.A.S setup?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eYes — the CDT-AERO-R is specifically the right hand variant designed for H.O.S.A.S (Hands On Stick And Stick) configurations. Pair it with a CDT-AERO-L on a separate base for full dual-stick control — the natural choice for space sims like Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous, and Everspace 2, as well as DCS World multi-crew aircraft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat is the difference between the CDT-AERO-R and CDT-AERO-L?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eThe CDT-AERO-R and CDT-AERO-L are mirror variants of the same AEROMAX grip — identical in inputs, specs, and base compatibility, but shaped for left and right hand respectively. The R is typically used as the primary stick in a HOTAS setup; the L is used as the secondary left hand stick in a H.O.S.A.S dual-stick configuration. Both connect to the same compatible bases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eCan I lock the twist axis if I use rudder pedals?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eYes. The CDT-AERO-R has a mechanical twist axis lockout — a simple physical mechanism on the grip that disables the twist axis so your rudder pedals have full and exclusive rudder authority.

It works with all USB controller compatible simulators and games including DCS World, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, Elite Dangerous, Star Citizen, IL-2 Sturmovik, War Thunder, X-Plane, and hundreds more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eDo I need special software to configure the grip?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eThe grip works out of the box without any software as a standard USB HID device.

all-in-one flightstick — does it include a base?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eYes — the CDT-AEROMAX-L is a complete all-in-one flightstick with an integrated base. No additional base is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat makes the dual-cam gimbal different to other sticks in this price range?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eMost sticks use plastic pincer-style gimbals. The AEROMAX uses a metal, dual symmetrical cam mechanism per axis — the same design as VIRPIL's WarBRD and MongoosT-50 bases — delivering far greater precision, smoother forces, and far better longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat sims is the CDT-AEROMAX-L best suited for?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eIt excels in DCS World, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, X-Plane 12, Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous, IL-2 Sturmovik, and War Thunder. The full control set covers virtually every aircraft type without compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat does the optional CDT Throttle Module do?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eIt attaches to the left, right, or both sides of the AEROMAX to add a physical throttle lever axis — ideal for a HOTAS setup without a separate throttle controller. Sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eCan the twist axis be locked if I'm using rudder pedals?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eYes — the AEROMAX-L features a fully lockable twist axis. Simply lock it to prevent unintended rudder input when using dedicated pedals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eDo I need any software or drivers?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eNo — it works immediately as a standard USB HID device. For advanced configuration, the free VPC Configuration Suite is available from the VIRPIL support portal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat is the difference between the CDT-AEROMAX-L and the CDT-AEROMAX-R?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eThey are the same flightstick in mirror-image form. The CDT-AEROMAX-L is the left-hand variant and the CDT-AEROMAX-R is the right-hand variant — identical metal dual-cam gimbal, contactless sensors, adjustable clutch dampers, grip offset and control set, with the grip shape and layout mirrored for the opposite hand. Choose the L if you are left-handed or building a dual-stick setup; choose the R for a standard right-hand stick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eCan I use the CDT-AEROMAX-L on its own, or do I need the right-hand version too?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eYou can absolutely use it on its own as a dedicated left-hand flightstick. You only need the right-hand CDT-AEROMAX-R as well if you want a dual-stick H.O.S.A.S (Hands On Stick And Stick) configuration — popular in space sims like Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous, where each hand controls a separate stick for full six-degrees-of-freedom control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eShould I buy the CDT-AEROMAX-L Flightstick or the CDT-AERO-L grip?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eChoose the all-in-one CDT-AEROMAX-L Flightstick if you don't already own a compatible base — it's a complete base-and-grip unit, ready to fly out of the box.

It brings the adjustability and build quality usually reserved for far pricier modular setups into a compact, all-in-one flightstick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eDoes the CDT-AEROMAX-L work on consoles or Mac, or only PC?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eIt's a standard USB HID device built for PC (Windows), and it also works on macOS and Linux in simulators that support USB controllers. Game consoles such as Xbox and PlayStation don't support third-party HOTAS hardware, so the CDT-AEROMAX-L is best treated as a PC flight sim peripheral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eDoes the CDT-AEROMAX-L have force feedback?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eNo — it isn't a motorised force-feedback stick. It uses a precision metal dual-cam gimbal with independently adjustable clutch dampers and contactless Hall-effect sensors, giving smooth, consistent self-centring and tunable resistance without the noise, cost or maintenance of a force-feedback motor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhy buy from Player1 Sim Gear rather than directly from VIRPIL overseas?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003ePlayer1 Sim Gear is the official VIRPIL distributor for Australia and New Zealand.

The AEROMAX uses a metal, dual symmetrical cam mechanism per axis — the same design as VIRPIL's WarBRD and MongoosT-50 bases — delivering far greater precision, smoother forces, and far better longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat sims is the CDT-AEROMAX-LZ best suited for?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eIt excels in DCS World, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, X-Plane 12, Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous, IL-2 Sturmovik, and War Thunder.

The standard CDT-AEROMAX-L is the same left-hand stick without the Z-extension. For the right hand, the CDT-AEROMAX-R is the standard stick and the CDT-AEROMAX-RZ is its omnithrottle equivalent — pair an LZ with an R or RZ for a full dual-stick setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eCan I use the CDT-AEROMAX-LZ on its own, or do I need the right-hand version too?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eYou can use it on its own as a dedicated left-hand omnithrottle. You only need a right-hand stick — the CDT-AEROMAX-R or the RZ omnithrottle — as well if you want a dual-stick H.O.S.A.S (Hands On Stick And Stick) configuration, popular in Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous where each hand controls a separate stick for full six-degrees-of-freedom control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat does the “Z” in CDT-AEROMAX-LZ mean?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eThe “Z” denotes the built-in Z-extension — an extended shaft that converts the AEROMAX flightstick into an omnithrottle. It gives space sim pilots a tall, throttle-style left-hand controller, ideal for managing thrust and strafing in 6DOF titles like Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous, while keeping the full AEROMAX control set and metal dual-cam gimbal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eHow does the CDT-AEROMAX-LZ compare to entry-level flightsticks like the Thrustmaster T16000M or Logitech X56?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eThose are solid entry points, but the CDT-AEROMAX-LZ steps up with a metal dual-cam gimbal in place of a lighter plastic gimbal mechanism, independently adjustable clutch dampers, an infinitely adjustable grip offset, and a larger CNC-metal control set. It brings the adjustability and build quality usually reserved for far pricier modular setups into a compact, all-in-one flightstick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eDoes the CDT-AEROMAX-LZ work on consoles or Mac, or only PC?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eIt's a standard USB HID device built for PC (Windows), and it also works on macOS and Linux in simulators that support USB controllers. Game consoles such as Xbox and PlayStation don't support third-party HOTAS hardware, so the CDT-AEROMAX-LZ is best treated as a PC flight sim peripheral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eDoes the CDT-AEROMAX-LZ have force feedback?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eNo — it isn't a motorised force-feedback stick. It uses a precision metal dual-cam gimbal with independently adjustable clutch dampers and contactless Hall-effect sensors, giving smooth, consistent self-centring and tunable resistance without the noise, cost or maintenance of a force-feedback motor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhy buy from Player1 Sim Gear rather than directly from VIRPIL overseas?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003ePlayer1 Sim Gear is the official VIRPIL distributor for Australia and New Zealand.

The AEROMAX uses a metal, dual symmetrical cam mechanism per axis — the same design as VIRPIL's WarBRD and MongoosT-50 bases — delivering far greater precision, smoother forces, and far better longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat sims is the CDT-AEROMAX-RZ best suited for?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eIt excels in DCS World, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, X-Plane 12, Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous, IL-2 Sturmovik, and War Thunder.

The standard CDT-AEROMAX-R is the same right-hand stick without the Z-extension. For the left hand, the CDT-AEROMAX-L is the standard stick and the CDT-AEROMAX-LZ is its omnithrottle equivalent — pair an RZ with an L or LZ for a full dual-stick setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eCan I use the CDT-AEROMAX-RZ on its own, or do I need the left-hand version too?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eYou can use it on its own as a dedicated right-hand omnithrottle. You only need a left-hand stick — the CDT-AEROMAX-L or the LZ omnithrottle — as well if you want a dual-stick H.O.S.A.S (Hands On Stick And Stick) configuration, popular in Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous where each hand controls a separate stick for full six-degrees-of-freedom control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat does the “Z” in CDT-AEROMAX-RZ mean?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eThe “Z” denotes the built-in Z-extension — an extended shaft that converts the AEROMAX flightstick into an omnithrottle. It gives space sim pilots a tall, throttle-style right-hand controller, ideal for managing thrust and strafing in 6DOF titles like Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous, while keeping the full AEROMAX control set and metal dual-cam gimbal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eHow does the CDT-AEROMAX-RZ compare to entry-level flightsticks like the Thrustmaster T16000M or Logitech X56?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eThose are solid entry points, but the CDT-AEROMAX-RZ steps up with a metal dual-cam gimbal in place of a lighter plastic gimbal mechanism, independently adjustable clutch dampers, an infinitely adjustable grip offset, and a larger CNC-metal control set. It brings the adjustability and build quality usually reserved for far pricier modular setups into a compact, all-in-one flightstick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eDoes the CDT-AEROMAX-RZ work on consoles or Mac, or only PC?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eIt's a standard USB HID device built for PC (Windows), and it also works on macOS and Linux in simulators that support USB controllers. Game consoles such as Xbox and PlayStation don't support third-party HOTAS hardware, so the CDT-AEROMAX-RZ is best treated as a PC flight sim peripheral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eDoes the CDT-AEROMAX-RZ have force feedback?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eNo — it isn't a motorised force-feedback stick. It uses a precision metal dual-cam gimbal with independently adjustable clutch dampers and contactless Hall-effect sensors, giving smooth, consistent self-centring and tunable resistance without the noise, cost or maintenance of a force-feedback motor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhy buy from Player1 Sim Gear rather than directly from VIRPIL overseas?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003ePlayer1 Sim Gear is the official VIRPIL distributor for Australia and New Zealand.

Disengage them for fast, uninhibited inputs (great for dogfighting), semi-damp for steady aim without oscillation, or fully lock an axis to keep the stick in place without returning to center — useful for helicopters or a force-sensing feel. Each axis is tuned independently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat is the difference between AviaSim and CosmoSim cams?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eAviaSim cams provide a non-linear centering force — resistance increases more steeply the further from center, building feel and muscle memory for atmospheric flight. CosmoSim cams provide a linear centering force — equal resistance across the full travel, ideal for fast wall-to-wall movements in space sims. Both come in soft-center and no-center variants, and all are included in the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eCan I swap cams and springs myself?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eYes — the WarBRD-D is designed for pilot-level servicing. Swapping cams and springs needs only the included hex keys and takes around 15 minutes. VIRPIL provides full video guides on their support portal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eCan I fully lock an axis for helicopter collective or throttle use?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eYes. Because each axis clutch damper can be set to fully locked, the WarBRD-D can hold an axis in place without it springing back to center — handy for helicopter collective-style inputs or anyone who prefers a static, force-sensing feel on one or both axes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat grips are compatible with the WarBRD-D?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eAll current VIRPIL grips are compatible: CDT-AERO-R, CDT-AERO-L, Constellation ALPHA Prime [R], Constellation ALPHA Prime [L], T-50CM3 grips, T-50CM2 grips, the Hawk-60 collective grip and the SharKa-50 collective grip. You can upgrade your grip at any time without replacing the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eHow does the WarBRD-D compare to the flagship MongoosT-50CM3 base?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eBoth share VIRPIL's metal dual-cam gimbal, contactless digital sensors and adjustable clutch dampers. The MongoosT-50CM3 is the larger flagship base with the most extensive adjustability and cam range, while the WarBRD-D delivers the same core dual-cam precision and clutch damper tuning in a more compact, mid-range package — a superb balance of performance and value for most pilots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat's the difference between the WarBRD-D and the all-in-one CDT-AEROMAX sticks?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eThe WarBRD-D is a base only — you choose and attach your own VIRPIL grip, which makes it ideal if you want to mix grips or already own one. The CDT-AEROMAX range is an all-in-one flightstick with an integrated base and grip in a compact form. Pick the WarBRD-D for a modular base-plus-grip setup, or an AEROMAX if you want a complete stick out of the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat does the detachable AUX connector do?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eThe AUX connector lets you daisy-chain multiple VPC devices together so they share a single USB connection to your PC — saving USB ports and tidying cabling across a larger cockpit. Both the USB and AUX connectors are detachable for cleaner transport and cable management.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eCan I mount the WarBRD-D in a cockpit or on a desk mount?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eYes. The WarBRD-D works on a desktop, on a VPC Desk Mount, or bolted into a Monstertech, 3rd party or DIY simpit frame using standard mounting patterns. The top cover keeps the clutch damper adjustments accessible even once mounted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat sims is the WarBRD-D best suited for?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eIt excels in DCS World, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, X-Plane 12, IL-2 Sturmovik and War Thunder, and — with CosmoSim cams fitted — space sims like Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous.

Pre-tensioners add an independent spring bias to each axis to fine-tune the centering feel. Both are adjusted on the fly without disassembling the base, and each axis is controlled independently, so you can dial in a completely personalised response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhy is the smaller deflection angle better for extensions?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eWith a long desk extension, the arc the grip travels grows significantly with deflection angle. A smaller deflection angle keeps that arc comfortable and practical, so you get full stick range without exaggerated wrist movement.

AviaSim cams use a non-linear centering force suited to atmospheric flight (DCS, MSFS, IL-2); CosmoSim cams use a linear force suited to fast space-sim inputs (Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous). Soft Center adds a subtle detent at center, No Center is ultra-smooth, and Hard Center gives a strong tactile detent for instantly finding level flight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eCan I set different cams on each axis?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eYes. Each axis is tuned independently, so you can run different cam profiles on pitch and roll. A popular configuration is No Center on pitch with Soft Center on roll, which makes it easy to find level flight during disorienting manoeuvres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eCan I swap cams and springs myself?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eYes — the CM3 is designed for pilot-level servicing. Pre-tensioner springs swap directly from the top plate; cams swap by removing the springs and bottom plate to reach the cam mounting screws. Only the included hex keys are needed, and VIRPIL provides full video guides on their support portal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eCan I fully lock an axis for helicopter collective or dual-stick space sims?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eYes. Because each axis clutch damper can be set to fully locked, the CM3 will hold an axis in place without springing back to center — useful for helicopter collective-style inputs, or when running the base as one stick in a dual-stick HOSAS space-sim rig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eCan I build a dual-stick HOSAS setup with two MongoosT-50CM3 bases?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eAbsolutely.

class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eNo, the VMAX Prime is a standalone throttle unit.

For DCS helicopters or space sims where you want smooth continuous throttle movement, the Aerobatic or CosmoSim push-through plates work better.

This means zero stick-drift, ever. In DCS World this is critical for TDC slew, as even tiny amounts of stick drift cause the sensor to creep off target during sensor management.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eCan I adjust the throttle axis tension?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eYes, the VMAX Prime throttle axis tension is adjustable without disassembly. Tune each axis from light (fast combat throttle movements) to heavy (precise slow throttle management during approach and landing) to match your aircraft and flying style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eDo I need any software or drivers?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eNo drivers required, it works immediately as a standard USB HID device.

warbird-inspired footplates with foot straps. The mechanism and all adjustments are identical, the difference is purely the footplate style. Both are swappable, so you can purchase either footplate set separately to change the style of either pedal model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat is the optional damper upgrade kit and do I need it?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eThe R1 Pedals Damper Upgrade Kit adds a high-quality hydraulic damper to the rudder axis. It reduces spring bounce when returning to centre and can be adjusted to hold the pedals in a deflected position, removing the centering force entirely. It's particularly recommended for helicopter and space sim pilots who want smooth, drift-free rudder inputs. For fixed-wing combat and GA pilots, the standard cam and spring setup is excellent on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eHow does the twist dial spring tension adjustment work?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eThe R1 features a twist dial that adjusts the spring pre-tension continuously without any disassembly or tools. Turn it to increase or decrease the centering force on the fly. This is combined with the swappable spring weights and cam profiles for an enormous range of possible configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat cam should I use?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eSoft Center (pre-installed) suits most pilots, providing a subtle tactile centre marker without being overpowering. Hard Center gives a stronger, more definitive centre point, ideal if you frequently need to precisely return to neutral. No Center removes the detent entirely, best combined with the damper kit for helicopter pilots who want the pedals to hold position without returning to centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eAre these compatible with all sims?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eYes, the R1-FALCON connects as a standard USB HID device and is compatible with every sim that supports controller inputs: DCS World, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, X-Plane 12, IL-2 Sturmovik, Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous and more.

modern combat style footplates. The mechanism and all adjustments are identical, the difference is purely the footplate style. Both are swappable, so you can purchase either footplate set separately to change the style of either pedal model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat is the optional damper upgrade kit and do I need it?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eThe R1 Pedals Damper Upgrade Kit adds a high-quality hydraulic damper to the rudder axis. It reduces spring bounce when returning to centre and can be adjusted to hold the pedals in a deflected position, removing the centering force entirely. It's particularly recommended for helicopter and space sim pilots who want smooth, drift-free rudder inputs. For fixed-wing combat and GA pilots, the standard cam and spring setup is excellent on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eHow does the twist dial spring tension adjustment work?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eThe R1 features a twist dial that adjusts the spring pre-tension continuously without any disassembly or tools. Turn it to increase or decrease the centering force on the fly. This is combined with the swappable spring weights and cam profiles for an enormous range of possible configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat cam should I use?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eSoft Center (pre-installed) suits most pilots, providing a subtle tactile centre marker without being overpowering. Hard Center gives a stronger, more definitive centre point, ideal if you frequently need to precisely return to neutral. No Center removes the detent entirely, best combined with the damper kit for helicopter pilots who want the pedals to hold position without returning to centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eAre these compatible with all sims?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eYes, the R1-LEGEND connects as a standard USB HID device and is compatible with every sim that supports controller inputs: DCS World, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, X-Plane 12, IL-2 Sturmovik, Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous and more.

work?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eThe multi-position landing gear lever has an all-metal internal mechanism and a spring-loaded lift-to-move gate, so you lift the lever before moving it, just like a real aircraft, preventing accidental actuation. A swappable detent plate sets it to 2-position (UP-DOWN) or 3-position (UP-OFF-DOWN) operation, and three gear status LEDs show in-transit and final gear position. It is read by a VPC Digital Contactless position sensor for precise, wear-free input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eDoes the Control Panel #2 require a VIRPIL throttle or base?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eNo, the VPC Control Panel #2 operates as a completely standalone USB device. It connects directly to your PC and is recognised as a standard USB HID input device, working with any sim without any additional VIRPIL hardware. The AUX daisy chain feature is optional and adds extra functionality when used alongside a compatible VIRPIL throttle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eHow does AUX daisy chaining work?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eWhen connected via the AUX port to a compatible VIRPIL throttle or another Control Panel, both devices appear as a single combined USB input device. This means you can use the throttle's mode dial to trigger shift states across both devices, multiplying your effective input count without using additional USB ports on your PC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eCan I label the buttons?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eYes, each button has a transparent removable cap that lifts out to reveal a slot for a printed sticker inlay. Button inlay sticker sheets are included in the box with pre-made labels for common sim functions, and you can also print your own custom inlays to match your exact cockpit configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat is the difference between the CP2 and CP1\/CP3?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eThe Control Panel #2 is defined by its multi-position landing gear lever, gear status LEDs and high toggle-switch count, making it ideal for complex multi-role aircraft and airliners. The CP3 is built around four precision axis levers for throttle quadrant and multi-engine setups. The CP1 focuses on more buttons, flip covers and axis dials. All three share aircraft-grade Duralumin construction, RGB buttons and AUX daisy-chain connectivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat sims is this compatible with?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eThe VPC Control Panel #2 works with any sim that accepts USB controller input, including DCS World, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, X-Plane 12, IL-2 Sturmovik, Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous. It connects as a standard USB HID device, so no drivers are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eCan I mount two Control Panels together?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eYes, two VPC Control Panels can be combined to form a single wider unit, or one can be attached alongside a VPC MongoosT-50CM2 throttle. Mounting hardware is available from VIRPIL for various configuration options, or you can use the included legs for standalone desktop placement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat warranty and returns cover the Control Panel #2?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eIt's backed by a 2-year VIRPIL manufacturer warranty, handled locally by Player1 Sim Gear as the official Australian distributor, so there are no international returns for warranty work.

Common uses include throttle quadrant (multi-engine aircraft), mixture control, propeller pitch, engine condition levers, flaps, speed brakes and water rudder.

The VPC Vector is in a completely different category, it uses the same precision axis engineering as VIRPIL's WarBRD and MongoosT-50 flightstick bases, with independently swappable springs per axis, clutch dampers, a magnetic detent, 14-bit contactless sensors, and a swappable handle system. The Alpha is a great starting point; the Vector is what you upgrade to when you're serious about GA and airliner simulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat sims is the VPC Vector Flight Yoke best suited for?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eThe Vector is designed primarily for general aviation and airliner simulation, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and X-Plane 12 are the primary targets. It works with any sim that accepts standard USB HID input, including X-Plane 12, Prepar3D, and DCS World (for aircraft with yoke-style controls). It is particularly well suited to GA aircraft, airliners, and business jets in MSFS 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat is the 90°\/180° switchable roll axis and why does it matter?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eA 180° roll axis is standard for GA aircraft like the Cessna 172, where the yoke rotates significantly in each direction. A 90° roll axis (90° total, 45° either side of centre) replicates the limited yoke travel found on many commercial airliners and business jets. Swapping between them takes seconds using the included limiter plate, no tools needed. It's a detail that matters for airliner pilots who want accurate yoke response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat are the swappable control panel faceplates?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eThe Vector base has a slot for swappable Control Panel Faceplates (sold separately as part of the Vector ecosystem). These add physical buttons, switches, and controls directly to the yoke base for avionics, autopilot, and flight management inputs. It means you can build a more complete cockpit without buying a separate panel device, and swap faceplate configurations when flying different aircraft types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eCan I swap the yoke handles between different Vector Handle options?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eYes, that's one of the Vector's standout features. The quick-connect handle system lets you swap between different handles from the VIRPIL Vector Yoke Handle range without tools. The ecosystem is designed to grow over time with additional handle styles covering different aircraft categories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eHow does the axis mechanism compare to bungee cord yokes?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eMost flight yokes on the market use bungee cords for centering, they work, but bungees degrade over time, deliver inconsistent tension, and can't be independently adjusted per axis. The Vector uses swappable metal springs on high-quality bearings, the same approach as VIRPIL's flightstick bases. Springs last far longer, deliver more consistent centering force, and can be swapped to different tensions. Combined with the clutch dampers and magnetic detent, it's a significantly more precise and durable system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat mounting options are available for the Vector?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eThree options: the Vector Desk Mount (clamps to the front edge of your desk), the Vector Dual Desk Mount (attaches underneath your desk for a cleaner setup and more pull clearance), and direct hard-mount points on the base for simrig integration.

In a HOSAS configuration both hands control a flightstick, giving you symmetric input and full 6-degrees-of-freedom control across all translational and rotational axes simultaneously. It is the preferred configuration for space sim pilots in games like Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous, where strafing, docking, and multi-axis manoeuvring are central to gameplay. HOSAS is also fully capable in DCS World, MSFS 2024, IL-2, and other flight sims — but for conventional flight, HOTAS is equally valid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eIs this bundle complete out of the box?\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eYes — every component needed to build a full desk-mounted dual-stick HOSAS cockpit is included.

These let you tune each axis from completely free (fast raw inputs) to semi-damped (reduced centering oscillations) to fully locked (stick holds position). The WarBRD-D otherwise retains all the cam and spring tunability of the original WarBRD platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat are the clutch dampers and what do they do?\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eClutch dampers add resistance — or friction — to an axis. Set fully disengaged, the axis is raw and fast. Set semi-damped, the axis has enough resistance to suppress centering oscillations and assist steady aim. Set fully locked, the stick holds its position and does not spring back to center — useful for helicopter collective-style inputs or holding a yaw\/roll position in space sims. Each axis is adjusted independently, so you can run different settings on X and Y.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWill the Desk Mount V4-S fit my desk?\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eThe V4-S clamp accommodates desks from 9mm to 65mm thick using the included bolt sets (20mm, 40mm, and 60mm bolts).

Gear drives create backlash and stepping. Belt drives introduce inconsistency as they stretch. Direct drive, while popular in sim racing, doesn't suit a flightstick's restricted axis travel — the motor can't rotate enough to produce fine-grained FFB effects through the small arc a stick travels. VIRPIL's Dyneema cord drive (patent applied) eliminates backlash and stepping entirely, applies force multiplication to give the motors significantly more rotational resolution through the stick's travel, and produces equal and linear forces in all directions — something no gear or belt system can claim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat is hardware anti-cogging and why does it matter?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eCogging is a phenomenon in electric motors where the magnets interact with the stator poles to create a regular, step-like resistance as the motor rotates — you can feel it as a slight grittiness or pulsing. Most FFB products address cogging purely in software, which improves but doesn't eliminate the effect. The ATLAS uses hardware-level anti-cogging built into the motor's physical design, which eliminates cogging at the source — producing completely smooth, grain-free force output that software correction alone cannot match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eDo I need to buy new grips for the ATLAS?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eNo — the ATLAS is compatible with all current VPC grips and VPC extensions, including the Constellation ALPHA and DELTA, MongoosT-50 Series, WarBRD, V.F.X., FLNKR, SharKa-50, Hawk-60, and Dual-SF grips.

If you fly a game that doesn't send FFB signals, Virtual Cam applies your chosen force profile passively, giving you a customised feel rather than a dead, forceless stick. This is a significant capability that goes well beyond what any mechanical cam-and-spring system can offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eHow do I secure the ATLAS?

Gear drives create backlash and stepping. Belt drives introduce inconsistency as they stretch. Direct drive, while popular in sim racing, doesn't suit a flightstick's restricted axis travel — the motor can't rotate enough to produce fine-grained FFB effects through the small arc a stick travels. VIRPIL's Dyneema cord drive (patent applied) eliminates backlash and stepping entirely, applies force multiplication to give the motors significantly more rotational resolution through the stick's travel, and produces equal and linear forces in all directions — something no gear or belt system can claim.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is hardware anti-cogging and why does it matter?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Cogging is a phenomenon in electric motors where the magnets interact with the stator poles to create a regular, step-like resistance as the motor rotates — you can feel it as a slight grittiness or pulsing. Most FFB products address cogging purely in software, which improves but doesn't eliminate the effect. The ATLAS uses hardware-level anti-cogging built into the motor's physical design, which eliminates cogging at the source — producing completely smooth, grain-free force output that software correction alone cannot match.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Do I need to buy new grips for the ATLAS?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"No — the ATLAS is compatible with all current VPC grips and VPC extensions, including the Constellation ALPHA and DELTA, MongoosT-50 Series, WarBRD, V.F.X., FLNKR, SharKa-50, Hawk-60, and Dual-SF grips. It also supports Thrustmaster Warthog, F\/A-18C, and Cougar grips. If you already own a VPC or TM grip, it works with the ATLAS.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the ATLAS Pro Upgrade Kit and when will it be available?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The ATLAS Pro Upgrade Kit converts your ATLAS from 25Nm to 45Nm output (12kg to 22kg of force at the stick) by adding a more advanced power module, cooling fans, and a more powerful power supply. The kit will be available to purchase separately after the pre-order period is complete. It is not included with the ATLAS base pre-order — it is an optional future upgrade.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What does the Virtual Cam feature in the ATLAS software do?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Virtual Cam lets you design custom spring and centering force profiles in software — simulating the effect of different cam shapes — even in games that have no native FFB support. If you fly a game that doesn't send FFB signals, Virtual Cam applies your chosen force profile passively, giving you a customised feel rather than a dead, forceless stick. This is a significant capability that goes well beyond what any mechanical cam-and-spring system can offer.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How do I secure the ATLAS? What mounting is required?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"High-force FFB requires a rigid, fixed mounting point — a desk alone is generally not suitable. VIRPIL is developing the VPC Universal Simpit Frame specifically to address this, with two planned variants (office chair frame and dedicated flight seat). The frame is targeted to be available before the ATLAS begins shipping. Standard cockpit frame mounting patterns are also supported. Call us on 0488 385 870 to discuss your mounting situation before ordering.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What games and sims work with the ATLAS FFB?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The ATLAS works as a standard USB input device in all sims. For native FFB effects, DCS World has excellent FFB support — you will feel stall buffet, G-loading, and control surface forces directly through the stick. Microsoft Flight Simulator has FFB support. IL-2 Sturmovik supports FFB. For games without native FFB, the ATLAS software's Virtual Cam mode lets you apply a custom force profile regardless. The ATLAS software team is committed to expanding FFB effect support over time through software updates.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the pre-order structure and how does payment work?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The pre-order requires a 50% deposit now, with the remaining 50% balance charged when your unit is ready to ship. The current pre-order price is €599.95 (AUD equivalent TBC). RRP after pre-order is €699.95. Estimated shipping window is late Q4 2026. As the official Australian VIRPIL distributor, Player1 Sim Gear handles the entire pre-order process locally — call us on 0488 385 870 to place your pre-order.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is the ATLAS covered by warranty in Australia?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes — all VIRPIL products are backed by a 2-year manufacturer warranty. As the official Australian and New Zealand VIRPIL distributor, Player1 Sim Gear handles warranty claims locally — no international returns required. You are also covered by Australian Consumer Law. Call 0488 385 870 if you have any issues.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How does the ATLAS compare to other FFB flightstick bases on the market?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The main competitors use gear or belt drive systems which introduce backlash and stepping, or direct drive which struggles with the restricted axis travel of a flightstick. The ATLAS cord drive addresses all of these limitations simultaneously. At 25Nm (upgradeable to 45Nm), it also sits at the high end of the force output range. VIRPIL's decades of precision gimbal manufacturing experience, the use of contactless digital sensors on the gimbal itself (not on the motors), hardware anti-cogging motors, and the FFBeast software collaboration place the ATLAS as a genuinely engineering-first approach to flight sim FFB rather than an adaptation of sim racing technology.\"}}]}\u003c\/script\u003e","brand":"Virpil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55757015482441,"sku":"VPC-115-001","price":1399.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/2391\/1241\/files\/VirpilAtlasFFBBase_Player1SimGearOfficialAustraliaandNZDistributor.webp?v=1782170238"},{"product_id":"virpil-vpc-atlas-pro-ffb-base","title":"Virpil VPC ATLAS PRO FFB Base","description":"\u003cstyle\u003e\n  @import url('https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css2?family=Poppins:wght@400;500;600;700;800\u0026display=swap');\n\n  .pcs-wrap * { box-sizing: border-box;

Gear drives create backlash and stepping. Belt drives introduce inconsistency as they stretch. Direct drive, while popular in sim racing, doesn't suit a flightstick's restricted axis travel — the motor can't rotate enough to produce fine-grained FFB effects through the small arc a stick travels. VIRPIL's Dyneema cord drive (patent applied) eliminates backlash and stepping entirely, applies force multiplication to give the motors significantly more rotational resolution through the stick's travel, and produces equal and linear forces in all directions — something no gear or belt system can claim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat is hardware anti-cogging and why does it matter?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eCogging is a phenomenon in electric motors where the magnets interact with the stator poles to create a regular, step-like resistance as the motor rotates — you can feel it as a slight grittiness or pulsing. Most FFB products address cogging purely in software, which improves but doesn't eliminate the effect. The ATLAS Pro uses hardware-level anti-cogging built into the motor's physical design, which eliminates cogging at the source — producing completely smooth, grain-free force output that software correction alone cannot match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eDo I need to buy new grips for the ATLAS Pro?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eNo — the ATLAS Pro is compatible with all current VPC grips and VPC extensions, including the Constellation ALPHA and DELTA, MongoosT-50 Series, WarBRD, V.F.X., FLNKR, SharKa-50, Hawk-60, and Dual-SF grips.

If you fly a game that doesn't send FFB signals, Virtual Cam applies your chosen force profile passively, giving you a customised feel rather than a dead, forceless stick.

VIRPIL's decades of precision gimbal manufacturing experience, the use of contactless digital sensors on the gimbal itself (not on the motors), hardware anti-cogging motors, and the FFBeast software collaboration place the ATLAS Pro as a genuinely engineering-first approach to flight sim FFB rather than an adaptation of sim racing technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- ══ COMPLETE YOUR SETUP ══ --\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pcs-section-label\" style=\"margin-top: 48px;\"\u003eBuild the full experience\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"pcs-section-title\" style=\"font: 800 22px\/1.25 'Poppins', sans-serif !important;

Call us on 0488 385 870 to discuss your mounting situation before ordering.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What games and sims work with the ATLAS Pro FFB?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The ATLAS Pro works as a standard USB input device in all sims. For native FFB effects, DCS World has excellent FFB support — you will feel stall buffet, G-loading, and control surface forces directly through the stick. Microsoft Flight Simulator has FFB support. IL-2 Sturmovik supports FFB. For games without native FFB, the ATLAS Pro software's Virtual Cam mode lets you apply a custom force profile regardless. The ATLAS Pro software team is committed to expanding FFB effect support over time through software updates.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the pre-order structure and how does payment work?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The pre-order requires a 50% deposit now, with the remaining 50% balance charged when your unit is ready to ship. The current pre-order price is €599.95 (AUD equivalent TBC). RRP after pre-order is €699.95. Estimated shipping window is late Q4 2026. As the official Australian VIRPIL distributor, Player1 Sim Gear handles the entire pre-order process locally — call us on 0488 385 870 to place your pre-order.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is the ATLAS Pro covered by warranty in Australia?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes — all VIRPIL products are backed by a 2-year manufacturer warranty. As the official Australian and New Zealand VIRPIL distributor, Player1 Sim Gear handles warranty claims locally — no international returns required. You are also covered by Australian Consumer Law. Call 0488 385 870 if you have any issues.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How does the ATLAS Pro compare to other FFB flightstick bases on the market?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The main competitors use gear or belt drive systems which introduce backlash and stepping, or direct drive which struggles with the restricted axis travel of a flightstick. The ATLAS Pro cord drive addresses all of these limitations simultaneously. At 45Nm (22kg+ of force at the stick), it sits right at the top of the force output range. VIRPIL's decades of precision gimbal manufacturing experience, the use of contactless digital sensors on the gimbal itself (not on the motors), hardware anti-cogging motors, and the FFBeast software collaboration place the ATLAS Pro as a genuinely engineering-first approach to flight sim FFB rather than an adaptation of sim racing technology.\"}}]}\u003c\/script\u003e","brand":"Virpil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55757565100105,"sku":"VPC-115-002","price":1699.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/2391\/1241\/files\/VirpilAtlasProFFBBase_Player1SimGearOfficialAustraliaandNZDistributor.webp?v=1782204708"},{"product_id":"virpil-archer-sf-cyclic-grip","title":"Virpil Archer-SF Cyclic Grip","description":"\u003cstyle\u003e\n  @import url('https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css2?family=Poppins:wght@400;500;600;700;800\u0026display=swap');\n\n  .pcs-wrap * { box-sizing: border-box;

Refer to VIRPIL documentation for specifics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat sims is the Archer-SF best suited for?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003ePrimarily designed for DCS World helicopter modules — particularly the attack helicopter. Also works well with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, X-Plane 12, and any sim that accepts standard USB HID input. Works with any game or simulator that supports USB joystick input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eDo I need special software to use this grip?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eNo — it works out of the box as a standard USB HID device with no software required. For advanced configuration including button remapping, shift states, and RGB label programming, the free VPC Configuration Suite is available from the VIRPIL support portal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat is the VPC Configuration Suite and do I need it?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eIt's VIRPIL's free configuration software. Without it, the Archer-SF works plug-and-play. With it, you can remap any input, create shift states to multiply usable buttons, program RGB label lighting by state, and set up virtual axes. Most DCS pilots will use it eventually — but it's not needed on day one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eIs the Archer-SF worth it over a standard HOTAS grip for helicopter sim?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eFor serious DCS helicopter flying, yes. The gated 4-way hats give you physical confirmation of every directional input — something standard 8-way hats don't provide. The dual-stage trigger with safety guard also replicates the real aircraft workflow in a way a standard HOTAS trigger can't match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat warranty does the Archer-SF come with?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eAll VIRPIL products are backed by a 2-year manufacturer warranty.

Call us on 0488 385 870 and we'll walk you through the options.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Can I use the Archer-SF with my existing Thrustmaster Warthog base?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes, with limitations. The Archer-SF is mechanically compatible with Thrustmaster Warthog and Cougar bases, but some button inputs may function differently or be missing due to TM base wiring limitations. For full functionality a native VIRPIL base is recommended. Refer to VIRPIL documentation for specifics.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What sims is the Archer-SF best suited for?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Primarily designed for DCS World helicopter modules — particularly the attack helicopter. Also works well with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, X-Plane 12, and any sim that accepts standard USB HID input. Works with any game or simulator that supports USB joystick input.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Do I need special software to use this grip?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"No — it works out of the box as a standard USB HID device with no software required. For advanced configuration including button remapping, shift states, and RGB label programming, the free VPC Configuration Suite is available from the VIRPIL support portal.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the VPC Configuration Suite and do I need it?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"It's VIRPIL's free configuration software. Without it, the Archer-SF works plug-and-play. With it, you can remap any input, create shift states to multiply usable buttons, program RGB label lighting by state, and set up virtual axes. Most DCS pilots will use it eventually — but it's not needed on day one.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is the Archer-SF worth it over a standard HOTAS grip for helicopter sim?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"For serious DCS helicopter flying, yes. The gated 4-way hats give you physical confirmation of every directional input — something standard 8-way hats don't provide. The dual-stage trigger with safety guard also replicates the real aircraft workflow in a way a standard HOTAS trigger can't match.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What warranty does the Archer-SF come with?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"All VIRPIL products are backed by a 2-year manufacturer warranty. As the official Australian VIRPIL distributor, Player1 Sim Gear handles warranty claims locally — no international shipping required.

Refund provided less return shipping and a 5% handling fee. Item must be in original, unused condition. Contact us before returning — we're happy to help troubleshoot if there's an issue that might be resolved without a return.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Do you ship to all of Australia? How long does delivery take?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes — we ship Australia-wide from our Queensland warehouse, aiming to dispatch same day or within 1–2 business days. Delivery typically takes 2–8 business days depending on your location. All orders are fully trackable and insured. Call 0488 385 870 for current stock status and express options.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Why buy from Player1 Sim Gear rather than directly from VIRPIL overseas?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Player1 Sim Gear is the official VIRPIL distributor for Australia and New Zealand.
