This was due to poor quality of parts, and to either compensate for the lack of support by companies, or to allow for some to enhance their experience so their products will behave exactly as they wish. Since the dawn of flight simulation on personal computers, there has been an aftermarket to replace pots, springs, arm levers. The modularity of the line is not only a matter of cross compatibility, as we will see with the various options offered. The VIRPIL grips can also be connected to the Thrustmaster bases but with limited functionalities on the most advanced grips.

In addition, both bases can also welcome either the Thrustmaster Warthog, Cougar or F/A-18C grips. There are two bases and five grips to choose from. The VIRPIL concept is that most of their products are modular at several levels, to ensure the products fit exactly to the customer demand. The VIRPIL line of productsīefore reviewing the products we will venture into the VIRPIL line of products. We will see how this goes for the simmer in this review. This collaboration with VIRPIL puts his designing skills at a more affordable and wider scale.

Baur is famous in the world of custom high-end joysticks for flight simulation. The specific WarBRD devices we are reviewing today were designed in cooperation with Roman Dorokhov, aka “Baur” who uses BRD as a trademark. For the purpose of this hardware review, VIRPIL provided FSElite with the WarBRD Grip, Base, and VPC Deskmount V3 – L size. The company, originating from Belarus, targets the combat and space simulation users and quickly established themselves as quality manufacturers. Founded in 2016, their first products left the factory in 2018 with the creation of the MongoosT-50, a reproduction of the Sukhoi PAK-FA fighter joystick. VIRPIL is a relatively recent newcomer on the market of flight controls.
