Haha, I have the Virlpil C.-Alpha's not the Alpha-Primes. I'm setting up some new VKB's. I think the VKB's are the best value, but I really love my Virpils. It comes down to value. If you play star citizen a lot with sticks then they can have great value. I'm going to play flight games until I retire or die, so Virpils have a lot of Value. 2 vkb's for the price of Warbird and Grip...Great value. I have them on my other computer. About to do some new VKB vids too.
@@SurvivorToHero Haha I just jumped into to HOSAS. Going straight to Virpils during their Black Friday sale. I've generally been a believer that you can do anything with mouse and keyboard. I would probably still say this but the sticks do totally change the feel compared to high APM key spam and are very enjoyable. My whole process of learning has been racing, arena commander, and a little low-flying in the PU so I realized I still struggle at some fine movements like landing if I don't enable the speed limiter. I'm trying to leave linear curves for now. I'm not as good as was on keyboard yet but no finger gymnastics or feathering keys feels good.
@@Accuracy158 this is great to hear! Virpils are for life, I just repaired mine with a broken trigger spring via warranty. Taking it apart and fixing it myself reminded me how user servicing friendly and incredibly designed and over built these are. When I first started with my Virgil’sI had similar experiences with the fine motor skills. I advise to not play with curves. Rather, try slowing down to master the feel of smaller movements and at scm or below speed. These maneuvers require the full fine motor skills, less brain adrenaline(norepinephrine) and enhance depth of leaning. (norepinephrine, and allow more dopamine and serotonin and acetylcholine to be involved). I’m recording a lot of joystick content to put together to help with the brain training around this too. In Star Citizen of the best trading experiences you can have on the Virpirls for really fine tuning skills, practice flying bigger ships with less forgiving maneuverability I really learned by taking a retaliator down to do bunker missions, and work on the circling in and making slow smooth landings. That ship is like a b52 Flying Fortress plane and also like heavy tank that wants to fall out of the sky. I have been playing around with various precision config controls on virpil and will post a more concise video on it later this week
And if you have a 3d printer you can upgrade a lot your stick, definitely a bang for the buck
Upgrade the stick?????? To Google!
I thought when Star Citizen players say take the jump joystick gameplay they were referring to Constellation Alpha Primes and Warbrd-Ds with pedals.
