VPC CDT-AEROMAX Throttle Module

Not ready for a dedicated throttle yet, or simply want more axes on your CDT-AEROMAX Flightstick? The CDT-AEROMAX Throttle Module attaches directly to the left, right or both sides of any CDT-AEROMAX Flightstick, adding a precision throttle lever axis with adjustable force and a VPC Digital Contactless Sensor.

Official Australian and New Zealand VIRPIL Distributor

Requires a CDT-AEROMAX Flightstick, and cannot be used as a standalone device. The CDT-AEROMAX Throttle Module is compatible with all CDT-AEROMAX variants: the CDT-AEROMAX-R, CDT-AEROMAX-L, CDT-AEROMAX-RZ and CDT-AEROMAX-LZ. Not sure which AEROMAX is right for you? Call us on 0488 385 870.

More axes. More control. No compromise.

Plug-and-play attachment

Attaches quickly and easily to the left or right side of your CDT-AEROMAX Flightstick with no tools required, so you get back to flying in seconds.

Adjustable lever force

Tune the throttle lever tension to your preferred feel, from light and responsive to firm and deliberate, directly on the module.

VPC Digital Contactless Sensor

The same high-precision Hall-effect magnetic sensor found across the VIRPIL range, delivering accurate, wear-free throttle axis input with no drift.

Metal CNC mechanism

Built to the same high standards as all VIRPIL Controls hardware, with CNC metal construction for durability and a precise, consistent lever feel.

Mount on either or both sides

Attach to the left side, the right side, or one on each. Two modules together give you twin throttle levers for multi-engine aircraft or dual-axis control.

Affordable HOTAS upgrade

A budget-friendly way to add a throttle axis without buying a full standalone throttle, perfect for pilots working up to a complete HOTAS setup.

Left, right, or both — your choice.

Single or dual throttle levers

The CDT-AEROMAX Throttle Module can be attached to the left side only, the right side only, or both sides simultaneously for dual throttle levers. Each module is purchased separately, so buy two for the dual configuration.

Works with all CDT-AEROMAX Flightsticks.

The Throttle Module is compatible with every variant of the CDT-AEROMAX family:

  • CDT-AEROMAX-R Flightstick
  • CDT-AEROMAX-L Flightstick

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a CDT-AEROMAX Flightstick to use this?

Yes, the Throttle Module is an add-on accessory that connects directly to any CDT-AEROMAX Flightstick. It cannot be used as a standalone device and does not connect to a PC independently.

Which CDT-AEROMAX variants is it compatible with?

It is compatible with all four CDT-AEROMAX variants: the CDT-AEROMAX-R, CDT-AEROMAX-L, CDT-AEROMAX-RZ and CDT-AEROMAX-LZ.

Can I attach a module to both sides at once?

Yes, you can attach one module to the left side, one to the right side, or one on each side simultaneously for dual throttle levers. Each module is sold individually, so you will need to purchase two for the dual configuration.

How does it attach to the flightstick?

The module uses a plug-and-play design that clips to the side mounting point of the CDT-AEROMAX base. No tools are required, so it attaches and detaches quickly and you can reconfigure your setup as needed.

Does it need separate drivers or software?

No, the module is recognised as an additional axis on your CDT-AEROMAX Flightstick through the existing USB connection, so no extra drivers are required. Advanced configuration is available through the free VPC Configuration Suite.

Can I adjust the lever tension?

Yes, the throttle lever force is adjustable directly on the module, so you can tune it from light and free-moving to firm and resistant depending on your flying preference.

What warranty and returns cover the Throttle Module?

It'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. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind return: item in original, unused condition with all packaging, refund less return shipping and a 5% handling fee. Full Australian Consumer Law protection applies. Call 0488 385 870 with any questions.

Do you ship to all of Australia? How long does delivery take?

Yes, we ship Australia-wide from our Queensland warehouse. Same-day or next business day dispatch. Delivery typically takes 2–8 business days depending on location. Call 0488 385 870 for current stock and express options.

Why buy from Player1 Sim Gear rather than directly from VIRPIL overseas?

Player1 Sim Gear is the official VIRPIL distributor for Australia and New Zealand. Buying locally means full Australian Consumer Law protection, a valid Australian GST tax invoice, warranty handled locally (no international shipping for repairs), Australian stock, and a team you can call on 0488 385 870 who actually flies sims like DCS and MSFS on this gear.
