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.

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.
