The VPC MongoosT-50CM3 is the third-generation flightstick base from the VIRPIL Controls range, with 14-bit contactless digital sensors and 0.02° resolution, for flight simulation on PC.
It is fully machined from D16T aircraft-grade duralumin and lets you adjust the self-centring and the tension of each axis through interchangeable cams and springs. It is the base built for helicopter, aircraft and spacecraft pilots who want maximum fidelity, even with long extensions and heavy metal grips.
Key features
- 14-bit contactless digital sensors with 0.02° angle detection and no friction wear.
- 5 interchangeable cam profiles (AviaSim Soft, No and Hard Center; CosmoSim Soft and No Center) to set the return to centre.
- 3 spring types included (light, standard and heavy) to adjust the tension of each axis.
- Per-axis adjustable clutch dampers and spring preload, without dismantling the base.
- Fully machined from precision D16T aircraft-grade duralumin.
- Includes a 2 m USB cable and works with the free VPC Configuration Suite software.

Frequently asked questions
Which grips are compatible with the VPC MongoosT-50CM3?
It is compatible with the VPC WarBRD, VPC V.F.X, VPC MongoosT-50 Series, VPC FLNKR, VPC Constellation ALPHA and DELTA, VPC SharKa-50, VPC Hawk-60 and VPC Dual-SF grips, as well as the Thrustmaster Warthog, F/A-18C and Cougar.
What are the interchangeable cams and springs for?
The 5 cam profiles set how the stick returns to centre, and the 3 spring types (light, standard and heavy) adjust the tension of each axis, so you can tailor the base to your flying style.
Does it need drivers or software to work?
It needs no drivers: it is recognised as a standard USB device. The free VPC Configuration Suite software lets you map axes and buttons, create profiles and fine-tune the response.
Can I use it with Thrustmaster grips?
Yes. It works with the Thrustmaster Warthog, F/A-18C and Cougar grips; in those cases you must remove 2 bolts from the connector to avoid damage.
Is it compatible with consoles?
No. The VPC MongoosT-50CM3 connects to a PC over USB and is not compatible with consoles.
Does it suit both helicopters and jets or space combat?
Yes. By independently adjusting cams, springs and clutch dampers on each axis, it suits both holding the stick in place for helicopters and the fast, precise movements of jets and space combat.
