We've got some brilliant weather here at VIRPIL UK just in time for the weekend ☀️ But that's not going to stop us jumping in the cockpit and taking off to the virtual skies 😎

What are your flight plans this weekend? 🕹️✈️

Calling all HOSAS Pilots! 🕹️🕹️How are you configuring your left stick?

Typical setups usually involve using the light spring and increasing the clutch on the Y-Axis for use as an omnithrottle.

At the VIRPIL UK Showroom we've been trying out removing the Y-Axis springs and cams entirely which allows for a much lighter clutch force. But this removes the tactile center point for the swap-over between forward and reverse thrust.

We've been testing a new custom omnithrottle cam set for the Y-Axis which brings back the center detent, but without pulling the stick back to the center position. Is this something space pilots want to see in our official line up? 😏

And the VIRPIL R&D Team said - let there be light! 💡

The final manufacturing batch allocation of the MongoosT-50CM3 Throttle is almost over! Get this legendary throttle with 15% off until 3rd May or until the batch is gone! ⏱️

The VIRPIL UK showroom isn't just for fully decked out simrigs! If you're a virtual pilot on a budget, but you don't want to compromise on quality, you can do some test flights on a range of desktop based controls! 🕹️

A past CIG employee visited the VIRPIL UK showroom to fly Star Citizen in our awesome Monstertech x VIRPIL Controls HOSAS Cockpit! 🕹️🕹️🚀

When we asked about new add-on modules for the CDT-AEROMAX, a suggestion that came up was for a mini-ejection handle module! Would you add this F15 style ejection module to your CDT-AEROMAX? 🤔

We're on a roll here at VIRPIL HQ! 🚚 📦📦
These orders are on their way to simpits in the EU and beyond 🌍 Happy flying pilots!

Roman "Baur" of BRD fame joined VIRPIL Controls in 2017 as our Chief Designer - bringing over a decade of experience designing flight simulator controls. He brought you the hugely popular VPC WarBRD-D Base, the redesigned gimbals on the MongoosT-50CM2/3 Bases and our amazing line up of Rudder Pedals!

BRD's history features many other interesting devices - some of which may arrive in VIRPIL's future 😎
