Virpil Grip & Throttle

[memoric]

Hello

I'm thinking to buy a Virpil HOTAS, Grip VPC MongoosT-50LH BE, Base is the VPC WarBRD, and the VPC MongoosT-50 Throttle.

I fly exclousively the F/A-18. So my question is, does this hotas fit for the F/A-18? Are there enough buttons for every important keybinding?

I'm a bit concerned, if it has enough 4-way buttons on top of the grip and if there's a 4-way button on the side. In chucks guide you need 3 of them at the top, one for trimming, one for weapon select, and one for TDC press/depress and zooming in. On the side of the grip you need also a 4-way button for sensor select.

My other concern is, if the throttle has a resistance before going to afterburner. That woud be nice.

Thanks for answering.

LH means left-hadned version. So, if you are not left-hander, do not choose stick with LH in its name.

Next thing, virpil is about to release the new, upgraded grip, so I suggest to wait for it:

Virpil is also about to release the upgraded version of T-50 base:

The T-50 shoul'd be better for mountings and lenght extensions and WarBRD shoul'd be better for desktop use.

The Vipril T-50 throttle has customisable throttle detents. There are 2 detents per axis. You can manually set their position.

Thank you!

I ordered the VPC MongoosT-50CM2 Grip, and the VPC MongoosT-50CM Base. These are the products in your links, right?

I am not sure now. I've posted just news about successors. Not about sticks in shop.
