Virpil VPC configuration software - axis tutorial

IMPORTANT: with Virpil throttle is using axis to button use new physical button greater than 70!
NOTE: Try not to have gaps in your physical to logical button mapping table!

Just received my Mongoose T-50CM2 Base, Alpha Grip & CM2 Throttle. Your tutorial has helped immeasurably getting my head around the software and understanding the concepts. I've mentioned to Virpil about how good your video's are. They should send you new gear, so you can keep making this ace vids. Thanks again.

Juist went through your 2018 throttle tutorials. Great stuff and very detailed.
Are you considering updating them for 2023?
The new version does not allow the walkthrough you documented. Lock throttle and Activate LED under Trim reset are examples.

Thanks for doing these. I just ordered a WarBRD + Mongoose CM2 and im just cramming as much info as possible for when it arrives

Thank you for the fantastic tutorial! It was incredibly clear and helpful. I have a MongoosT-50CM3 Throttle, and I’m wondering if it’s possible to change the axis curves with a button. Specifically, I’d like to set up two throttle modes: one where 0% corresponds to 0 and 100% to 100, and another where 0% corresponds to -50 and 100% to 50. Ideally, I’d be able to switch between these modes by pressing a button. Thanks again for your help!

great Tutorial,

thanks for this detailed usefull Tutorial Dude.
Even with new SW this Tutorial helps me in so many good ways to understand it better.
Kudos

Very well explained and fully covered, the best i've ever seen

[gholamrezamehrdad]

Very good explained for the first time

Quick question. I have trouble with the mini joystick on my CM2. In the Virgil software its functioning correct as a joystick. In DCS it’s recognized as a joystick input, but behaving as a button (on/off vs range/curve value). Didn’t change the settings or program this as a function. Did a recalibration and also compared the values in the table and settings with the throttle lever function (as this is function normal in DCS), but can’t find the issue. Probably overlooked something (checkbox, etc.), but was hoping you have a quick fix

I need to map my left mouse wheel on my Delta as a throttle, i.e. scroll up increase throttle, scroll down decrease throttle, push function resets throttle to zero. I followed your guide but when I scroll down, it increases up to 100% max processed value, also when I push the wheel it resets to 50% value and starts climbing to 100% on its own. Do I need to calibrate the wheel and if so how? Thanks

Random question, can you get the 5 way modifier switch to work as a virtual axis you reckon? Been racking my brains at this for a couple of hours.

Hi,
Very interesting video. I've adde axis to button commands to start and stop my engines in DCS.
But because I'm using the warthog detents on them, I can't idle my engines.
The new 0 point as it were has to shifted to ~26%.
Is it possible to reset the 0 point of the throttles?

Very helpful! Thanks for posting this up.

I have a 250 mm extension on my constellation Alpha how do I increase or decrease the range on movement or the saturation would that be with the dead zone beginning and end

[THE.RATGOD]

the zoom is for dampening axes when triggered, like an esp on the sitck itself.

The appearance of the software has changed (11/2023). Struggling to set up my CM2 Throttles, going in all directions and ignoring inversion settings

Hey, do you have any experience binding the scroll wheel on the alpha or delta as a vitual axis? in the 1.2 manual Virpil says it's possible, but following their instructions i cant get it working as the virtual axis will always be stuck at 100% due to how the encoder works

Regarding Axis to Button, how do I disable the actual axis 'rx' being recognised AS WELL as the buttons that I have set up?

[rossdavison]

What made you choose those numbers on that response curve?

Excellent presentation of information. Everything is shown in detail. I have a question about curves on axes. Is it normal that my joystick started drawing a diamond instead of a circle after I smoothed the X and Y axis?

I need more Axis to Button but it is only limited to 4? How can I add more Axis to button?
