Thanks for doing this review. I'm building out a vr sim racing rig with plans for flight sim and I'm just learning that there are other companies than Thrustmaster, Thrustmaster or Thrustmaster. Cheers dude.

The regular trigger is actually a dual trigger already, and there are click events for the outer trigger being flipped up, pulled and you can also combine all the trigger pulls for additional events.

Congratulations on your new HOTAS. Well-Deserved.

“And it’s a another box in a box” LOL you have all the boxes one would need for Christmas presents this year. I’m excited to hear about what your going to put in those boxes.

Nice video! A couple things to note; All Virpil Hat switches are either 2 or 4 way with push function, and the dials on the bottom right and side of the handle on the throttle are encoder dials, same with the mouse wheel on the stick, which has two push inputs. One has a clear tactile click, and the other is a deeper, less tactile click. And you can get two other sets of Cams for the WarBRD designed for space Sims, with linear arcs as opposed to the default cams designed for atmospheric flight with heavier force required at further deflection, and additionally you can get Extra Heavy springs for the gimbal you have as well if you're using extensions or find the stick is too lose with the included Heavy springs.

Thanks, and great to hear an honest review with no manufacturer kick backs

The pinky lever has a digitial button halfway through the pull, so you can either use it as an axis, or as a button. On my MT-50 I use the lever for Flight-Assist toggle.

The throttle lever works great for sensor zoom.

DCS world is having a massive sale on most of their modules, a lot of them with try before you buy. Just mentioning it, seeing the new HOTAS and all that

[bearclawws]

You sold me on this Hotas, thank you my good man. Learn so much from your channel.

[arukarin]

These joysticks are incredible. Unfortunately the price is very far from my reality in Brazil, but I would certainly buy it if I had a better condition. Nice video, man.

[jusef]

Only a few things can compare to the joy of finally unpacking your new Hotas.

[Sharkbar_]

ASTRO, you forgot to mention that the prices you show on screen are excluding VAT+DELIVERY charge, and that the ALPHA R or L has twist axis.

[TheRndar]

I would love to see a full set up tour. I'm curious about how you'll set up binds with this as well.

[LarryHamiltonGuitars]

Congrats on the new HOTAS. I know you guys have been waiting painfully for them when you pre-ordered them. Looks great and can't wait for your full review.

[bikehunter]

I took your advice when I previously asked about a Hotas, love the X52 and thank you again. This is damn near art. As soon as Elite either releases a MASSIVE content update on par with piloting a Capitol ship (or carrier for that matter) I have uninstalled Elite. If that content comes.... getting me a Verpil.

[SOU]

I haven't purchased any of their products, but the fact that they have a stick with the selector switch just like the F-14 Tomcat stick has me very impressed. Honestly I thought their products would be more expensive than what they are and I've actually considered buying their products down the road.

[Rivv]

I don't have nearly enough money for a Virpil setup, so I'm really interested to have a feedback on the X56 after 2 years of use.

[cmdrTremyss]

Thank you for the great review Down to Earth Astronomy, its an awesome hotas, although I wish the price would not be... well, astronomical.

[jzero]

I bet this costs the remaining amount I owe for my car...

[garyreed]

"Another box ion a box", LOL. I just ordered that throttle (back ordered) yesterday. It will be paired with a VKB Gunfighter Mk.III ‘Modern Combat Edition’ Ultimate. I can't wait to set it all up! See you in ED!
