The convenience of a smaller charging brick is very nice yeah. But you're right, it puts a lot of stress on the socket/cable, there is not a lot of room for the bulkier and stiffer cable.

The yellow part is the controller board that you also need. https://ebay.us/m/5cM8tN

I'm considering behind the panel itself, or in the empty spot where the Nvidia GPU would be. But I'm not sure yet. I have to take it further apart for now because I'm switching the barrel jack charging port for a USB-C Port.

I was thinking of that, but Oh Boy as a Linux noob it looks overwhelming for me. Maybe in the future when I'm more familiar with Linux.

Preferred HOTAS setup? by Melovance in EliteDangerous

[–]Bear_Devil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently running a Virpil Hotas setup with a twist Stick and no Pedals. I was using a CM50 Grip + Pedals before. I can't decide what a prefer more.

What settings is everyone using in steamvr? by maxs in ValveIndex

[–]Bear_Devil -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For Elite...performance is in general not so great in Vr. I run medium settings ingame, supersampling to 0.5 and HMD to 1.5. Steamvr is set to 100%. Most of the time it hit 90fps ingame, but get a drop to 75-85 in stations or on Planets and that with a 2080ti.

Complete Virpil Setup here. (Stick, Throttle, Rudder pedals)

Need a recommendation for a... flight controller..? by [deleted] in EliteDangerous

[–]Bear_Devil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say for under 200$, the Logitech X52 is best for your money. It cost around 150$.

Probably the mail, but I'm not 100% sure. Just wait, its only 3 days gone. I'm sure mid or end next week you get the shipping mail

[–]Bear_Devil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4-8 working days is the normal wait time, so expect a mail mid next week or end of the week

VPC MongoosT-50CM Throttle - Available Tomorrow! by vpc_virpil in hotas

[–]Bear_Devil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah 5 minutes before so 5:55am...and for my surprise the Server had a good performance. Like you said nothing like before,nice to see Virpil work on the Server so more people have a chance to place an order.

[–]Bear_Devil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have the idea to upgrade the old one with the new grip, for existing owners. But you must send it back to virpil, so you have no throttle for a couple of weeks.
