Dude has a setup for elite and star citizen that cost as much as my computer alone 😂 but WOW that looks absolutely amazing, a true dream setup!

[@Oroberus]

And has probably spent more time building/rebuilding/installing/deinstalling/reinstalling/changing it then 90% of ED and SC players have actually spent ingame xD That's pretty much the only reason I ain't got a setup, as I play so many other games on a regular basis that it's just not even close to being viable to tinker around with something like that, in relation on how much I'd actually use it

[@Newt211]

@@Oroberus I respect what you are saying. I just bought 2 alphas with bases and I am going to pick up 2 mounts as well. I reached that point as a gamer where I want an experience and not just another game. So for me, I just want to play one game and play it well and enjoy every moment of it. I also enjoyed the comment about most SC players don’t have that much time in game. I just started at 3.17 because I feel that the mechanics actually offer something to do now. I have killed myself in hilarious ways and each time there is the pain of having to spend all that time getting someplace all over again only to die a different way. Each time I learn and I am more careful. SC has a learning curve and I am so thankful to the Mining guild I joined, without those peeps I may have given up early, but the reward of sticking with it is quite high. So the cost of this setup worth it. We just need to cross our fingers that CIG delivers.

[@Oroberus]

@@Newt211 I 100% understand your point and it's a fair point, thing is ... it's kind of the same for me BUT there is not 1 single game but roughly 5 to 10 to which I'll ALWAYS return and play them again and again and again but those games are usually not viable for specific setup *g* - Battle Brothers - Kenshi - Baldurs Gate - Fallout (1/2/NV, fuck the rest) - Jagged Alliance 2 - ETS2 - Rimworld Only ETS2 would be viable for a setup and all the rest of it just won't work very well If viable/payable, I would indeed have a setup too, including a seperate room for VR xD For everyone who does stick to mostly setup games (or 1 game) I say: Go for it, I've played on setups and even in specific rooms for it and it'S a great experience :)

[@Wolfentodd]

It sucks for me because I want a set up like that but to get the stuff shipped to me it’s like 300 dollars a piece for each stick and button panel, and about 150 for each mount and about 60 for each mount adapter. And my current bills have me saving about 10 dollars a paycheck

what a brilliant use of a small space.... I was born in England , but grew up in Canada,, here ,, if you need more space ,, you just "spread" ,, bigger rooms.. bigger houses ,, bigger yards,,, well with the economic reality that has been dealt to us all in the past few years,, WE are all learning to downsize. As people in Europe have done for ages now. when I was younger my family went back to England to visit relatives,, I was amazed at how small the houses were,, the rooms,, the appliances,, even the bathtub, I am amazed you turn out such High Quality KZbin Videos after seeing your small space there ... Thank you for showing such an innovative way of using, 'space' , keep up the great work.... .....and yes a long time subscriber to your channel, and even your new channel

[@surfercharliel7928]

Ok, this item is now on my every wish list . Thanks for the advice, review and setup suggestions.

[@ChrisFaulkner]

If I had the money, i'd go virpil.. but as I look at my wallet.. it's gonna be a no go for me now unless a huge life change happens. i'll continue to use my MS sidewinder. Cheers on the new setup!

[@Czejenesku]

Give VKB a look, extremely worth it. Especially NXT line

[@HenrikDanielsson]

Huge life changes can happen in small increments, some of which you can control. Getting there is tough, and may take years, as it did for me. Initially I just tracked expenses in broad categories, but exact amounts, not even actively cutting anything away. Find out your "normal" monthly averages for you. After a while you'll find categories you can improve. TBH, the pandemic helped cutting entertainment, travel and food expenses, but just knowing by about how much it did affect me compared to my "normal" gave me the confidence needed to eventually place my order - and knowing how long it'll take to "compensate" for it economically.

[@MrPizzaRider]

i agree came faster got the gunfighter on the high end and Gladiator on the med and works great

Great work, please do more like this. So fun!

[@lostphotographs3936]

I have virtually the same setup as Astro, I do keep my throttle in my loop as I use it for ground control. My only complaint is the rubber dust covers on my Mongoost bases one is already cracking. I might reach out for a replacement. Same thing happened to the covers for the cable attachment. Great plastic's and metal work. Slightly dry rubber on one stick. OUT OF THIS WORLD PERFORMANCE! Astro you look very happy sir. My Zaxis gets here Friday!

I kind of want a throttle adapter for the right stick, too, both for symmetry reasons, but also because I have long dreamed of doing ship controls in an almost tank style, like the fighter from Independence Day, or the Swordfish from Cowboy Bebop.

[@stevenboughner7255]

I've had my eye on a Virpil. I was looking for a mounting video to get ideas. Great video.

[@SWATStrachan]

I ordered mine (stick, throttle & desk mounts) on the 28th of December and got notification that it shipped yesterday, along with a £143 import tax bill... Oh well, still worth it.

[@pandoraeeris7860]

That's pretty sweet. Next year I'm building a new rig, and I think I'm going to go for dual Constellation Alpha (Prime's) with the z-extender on both.

[@CueDriver]

😆 I did a lot of the same things you did in this setup. I place DCS more the SC or ED. So I took a small shelf piece of wood. I used Thrustmaster OSB buttons. I was able to place them in a position to still use them in VR. When I started playing Star Citizen, I had to use my TrackIR. So, I moved the monitor closer as well.

[@shadowr2d2]

lovely Setup my Dude

[@heartwormskillcats8357]

Use a Filco Minla keyboard to save room.

[@crazydm7th]

I ended up going with virpil sticks and control panels just like you have, but I went with the monstertech mounts instead of virpil. That way i can have a small mouse pad on the outside of each stick, it holds my mouse and my razer gamepad, which i use the gamepad for wasd movement and like 8 or so keybinds that I could not place on the sticks or control panels, have not touched my keyboard in over a year while I play Elite or Starr Citizen. The I Place my monitors on a triple monitor mount to raise them up and bit and give me the wrap around feel while in the cockpit.

[@FeralLogic]

At thing of beauty. Virpil makes some quality gear. But my wallet feels the impact quite sharply.

[@JonPaso60]

[@viennagamer1683]

that's a sweet setup! Once I move next year I plan on building a new cockpit and I'm thinking about investing in a Virpil setup for it, so seeing it in this video gives me a decent feeling about the whole thing, thanks!

[@HenrikDanielsson]

I ordered a very similar HOSAS setup on New Year's Eve, except with the mini mount and a keyboard adapter instead of the panels. Not figured out what to do about the mouse yet but my desk is curved so probably going to have it on the right side where it's closer to me. The order has not been processed by Virpil yet though so I'm guessing their Christmas sale went well hehe.

[@HenrikDanielsson]

@@sonny9608 Ooh, that sounds promising, thanks for the info!

[@HenrikDanielsson]

@@sonny9608 I "only" got Alpha R+L, a Z extension, 2 WarBrd bases, 2 small & 2 mini desk mounts + adapters. Was pondering the pedals and extra cams, or maybe a panel, but not sure they fit my style, maybe later. Don't have much space on this desk heh. I really hope the Alphas feel as good as they look. Currently using dual Saitex Cyborgs. They are a bit too plastic and light, but with really good adjustment possibilities. Alphas do look way more sturdy and the extra on-stick inputs will hopefully make up for them all being fixed positions.

[@polymloth]

For anyone wondering, this setup from Virpil costs €1,449.40 in total based on current prices.

[@henryvaneyk3769]

My Virpil clamps broke twice already. First the screw in the clamp stripped it's thread, and now recently the pins in the clamp broke from metal fatigue because I moved them every time I needed to do some coding for work. I am currently looking on doing some home engineering work to make it stronger. Another warning: be very careful of the twisting motion on your new throttle stick setup. It will put enormous strain on the wrist muscles and can cause a repetitive strain injury. I disabled the twist option in my setup after I picked up a repetitive strain injury and now use rudder pedals for yaw. Expensive but much cheaper than all the visits to the physio.

[@cmdrrubbelspritz2115]

been using Monstertech clamps for over a year and moved them almost every day... no problems so far. Also they don't stick out over the desk that far. Wouldn't trade my Constellation Alpha for anything tho :)

I have basically the same setup myself, just the left grip is Constellation Delta and Thrustmaster TPR pedals. Amazing stuff. Sometimes I just feel that I'm spending more time in Joystick Gremlin than playing the game. :D Ended up building a dedicated simpit though since I managed to find a space for it. Currently have a 3d printer running and printing few extra panels.

[@Chadok89]

I had the same problem with keyboard/mouse. I basically have come to the same solution, but I took a gaming keypad instead of a full keyboard in the middle. The only issue is when I need to type, I have to reach for the fullsize keyboard on the desk.

[@robdfar]

you could also get some monstertech mounts for the chair . i use them for my thurstmaster and they swing back when not in use. i just have my flight stuff hooked up into a 4 port usb 3 under the chair and then use a usb extension from the desk to the chair . works great

[@NikolaiTsekov]

The dual constellation with the 0 attachment is brilliant, I've never looked back to HOTAS. But then I enhance it with Gamerglass (couple of stands so I can use more than one tablet), no idea why people are obsessed with other button-gadgets.

Spooky - you're retiring your MongoosT-50, and mine arrives on Friday (my first ever bit of Virpil gear - I'll be buying a bit at a time as it's not cheap). Pretty quick from order (it will be around 12 days) but I expect the backlog for throttles is a lot smaller than that for sticks....

[@oliverkunze984]

you need a 55 inch oled TV my friend thats very important for this setup! Nice build!

[@bearclawws]

Just awesome!!

[@scoobylew24]

Like you said, FDEV stopped supporting VR in Odyssey, it's one of the reasons why I haven't played since. Because if you had VR all that equipment would be superfluous lol. (I'm still rocking that old Rift CV1 TOO!) P.S. Might want to put additional spring in your left stick, it's bouncing around like a windsock man. o7

[@scoobylew24]

Virpil, you catch that last part? It's too top heavy for the current spring loading. Sweet looking gear you have there.

[@GokouZWAR]

You mean if you had PROPER VR that whole setup would be pointless… if we had the touch controllers it would be so much more immersive. Having to feel around for buttons and grabbing the wrong ones is my biggest hangup with VR in elite. If you’re not playing elite in VR you’re missing out. But then again the on foot VR experience is such trash it makes me hate FDev every time I have to get out of my SRV to scan plants. I want my money back for odyssey until they get it right. I hate the on foot experience now.

[@Avallachgrey]

Im looking to build a new gaming rig with SC in mind. I adore the space flight side of SC and want something similar to your setup. Though i think im going to go with a star trek style seat/control. Going to use my recliner as the base for the captains seat.

[@TheLukemcdaniel]

(In Elite, not sure for SC)Unless you just use some hotkeys/voiceattack for locking to the 9 options for your speed, I'd almost still want a throttle for supercruise then use the left stick for thruster control.

[@DowntoEarthAstronomy]

I just bound +75% and +100% to switches and use them as "auto pilot"

[@scoobylew24]

My TM Warthog throttle pinky toggle is mapped to 100% and 75%

[@bloodybucket213]

Very nice. Why didn't you show us the interior of that control board when you had it open?

[@ZombieEmpire9199]

theres a little Xbox controller joystick on the Constellation Alpha which you can bind to walking. You can play around with all of the buttons on both Joysticks to almost completely Eliminate the Keyboard from your set up.

[@harabecswurveweathers]

My wife got my Desk Mounts for my hotas this last Christmas, after over a year of hinting. I was skeptical about going for Virpil mounts over MonsterTech, because I'd seen their older versions be fairly wobbly, but after getting my V4's, I couldn't be happier. There is no flex or wobble to speak of unless I really pull hard. And I love the overslung mounting point between the WarBRD and the Adapter.

[@alanhobson9121]

I recently got a Warbrd + Alpha-L with a z-extension. I really wanted to like it but there were enough issues for me that I ended up removing the extension and just going with a straight vertical mounted stick. Here's the problems that I had with it: 1) I found it really hard to feel where the center of the range of motion was. This led to a loss of precise control and a tendency to drift sideways. I installed the stronger springs and that helped a bit, but didn't make the problem go away. 2) For me, the Alpha grip isn't really a good match for the z-extension. When used sideways, it's just too thick to be gripped well, especially when using my thumb on the switches while doing maneuvers. My hands are on the large side and I still had issues. A Constellation Delta might solve this problem, but they're not easy to find these days.

[@gabzsy4924]

Next improvement should be an articulated monitor arm support so you can adjust it for better ergonomics and bring the screen closer to you now that you moved yourself back.

[@RainMakeR_Workshop]

Honestly, for on foot, I'd just use the thumb stick on the left stick for forward/back/strafe and aim with the mouse.

[@vadicus-tcp]

Looks great. Now you just need a 55" monitor or 4k TV for extra immersion.

[@Wesujin]

You misspelled VR Headset.

[@vadicus-tcp]

@@Wesujin Haha yah! But he said because Odyssey doesn't support VR he hasn't been playing very much VR. A huge monitor instead would help with the immersion. I play on a 55" 4K TV and it's awesome.

[@phekdak9356]

Great video, thanks for the list of components! I'm going to order desk mounts for my virpil hotas set and not everything was clear to me from the virpil store site.

[@IpPhillip]

I'm interested to see what you would change after a month or so of using it this way. I have a desk that faces my flight seat (Playseat Air Force). I turn my monitor around when I am in the flight seat. I expected that I would fly in the seat, land then jump up, run around and fps from the desk. The ship, SRV and foot combo has really presented us with an ergonomic/space use challenge. On top of this I still much prefer VR when flying, love rudders and occasionally want to game while at a standing desk. I am still looking for solutions.

[@Cameron_the_Robot]

I agree I would like to see how they evolved the setup, or if it was not as practical as it appeared months later. What was changed? Good idea Phil

[@Forza971sbh]

Thanks for sharing this incredible setup... now U need a bigger screen ! :D

[@sntxrrr]

Those desktop mounts are very sturdy and so much better than using a Virpil stick on top of your desktop. Kinda surprised me you hadn't used them already, that old situation looked uncomfortable. But a curious choice of keyboard, a bit wasteful if you're not using numpad and wristrest which you have on your main keyboard already. You could have bought a 60%, 65% or 75% layout (with F-keys if you want) from a non-gaming company like Keychron. Would have saved you a ton of money too and quality isn't worse than a typical gaming board with all their disco lights, probably better than most.

[@DowntoEarthAstronomy]

I do use the numpad a lot. Just not when gaming. So that's why o looked for a wireless keyboard with detachable numpad

[@sntxrrr]

@@DowntoEarthAstronomy But don't you use your primary keyboard for that? Or did you replace it with the new one? I got the impression you only use this wireless board when playing games and kept the old one for regular use.

[@DowntoEarthAstronomy]

ah no no. i replaced the old keyboard so i only have one

[@sntxrrr]

@@DowntoEarthAstronomy oh right, that makes sense. I'm used to having several keyboards lying about so it just seemed natural for me that the new one was for gaming only. I should clean my desk and send you a pic of my ED setup, I have a Virpil stick but otherwise my setup is a bit unusual (if you still collect desk setups).

[@justanothernoobe]

Envious of your setup! I'm just doing some online research to start planning my setup and came across your video. Obviously I have no experience in the games you might be playing but just a thought - to avoid any conflict between throttle and keyboard and / or the need to move the keyboard ... why not replace the keyboard with the number pad mounted just in front of the throttle control - and then just program your keys? You would just need to add a piece of 2mm sheet metal between the throttle and the mount that extends far enough in front of the throttle as to essentially provide a table-top for the number pad. Or you could just scrap that setup and send it to me 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@retrokitUK]

I didn't realise the Virpil kit was so very modular. It's very cool to see but I can see I'd even have to replace my desk to make Virpil kit a viable option so my budget would be astronomical!!!!

[@Dexadrinne]

Nice setup. The problem with all these desk mounts etc is that it pushes you away from the desk. I my self like to be close to the desk, dont know why just feels normal. But then the other option is build youre own desk for flight simming, which can come into its own problems if you have a lot of peripherals for other things. Like i have the Honeycomb that i like to use sometimes. Then if i wanna use an airbus i have the TCA then the virpil stuff. It really becomes a headache LOL.
