The VIRPIL Vector Flight Yoke Base is a flight-sim yoke base with 160 mm of pitch travel and a roll axis adjustable to 90 or 180, compatible with PC, aimed at virtual pilots flying general and commercial aviation.
Built by VIRPIL Controls, the Vector drops the bungees and limited mechanisms of traditional yokes in favour of contactless digital sensors, adjustable axes and realistic travel. It is part of the VIRPIL Controls range and works as a plug-and-play USB device, with the VPC Configuration Suite for fine-tuning.
