  • I've always loved the Winwing F18 Combat Ready and Take-Off Panels but recently I moved to the Virpil Control Panel #2. As my flight sim journey started to progress. The Winwing flight panels seemed to be the wrong tool for the job. In comes the Virpil!
    In this video, I explain my reasons for ditching Winwing for Virpil control panels. This might be helpful if you're in the market for a button flight sim button box
    My Current Flight Setup:
    Next Level Racing F-GT Elite amzn.to/3mqni5S
    Next Level Racing Direct monitor Mount amzn.to/3KS1jPD
    Next Level Racing ES1 Seat amzn.to/3ZveyK6
    Honeycomb Yoke amzn.to/3mqni5S
    Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant amzn.to/3ETLZy2
    Thrustmaster Warthog Flightstick amzn.to/3Ygaxbx
    Thrustmaster Warthog Throttle amzn.to/3ZveyK6
    Gigabyte 32 inch Gaming Monitor amzn.to/3ZveyK6
    Samsung Tab A7 amzn.to/3JaeUAL
    Virpil Control Panel 2 virpil-controls.eu/vpc-contro...

    Great video, thanks! I also have the Virpil gear (Hotas, panels). I'd love to see your bindings for the various aircraft you fly. I have trouble making use of all the buttons, a bindings guide would be fantastic.

      That’s a great idea. Currently working on rebuilding the sim at the moment. Once it’s all back up and running I’ll definitely create one of those.

    What a great time to be alive when we have the option of multiple incredibly designed peripherals for pretty much any game we want!!! I love PC gaming so much!
    This is a win-win situation for sure!

    I don't get it. Keep 'em both and use the WingWing when you fly the F18 and the Virpil for other jets, or even use them all in concert and have the Virpil gear lever as the flaps switch. Win Win :)

      Would definitely be an option but when the virpil can do almost every thing the win wind does I had to go with virpil. Just got the customisability of it.

    Would you like to sell me the Winwing panels? I’m just starting out in DCS and, like you when you were a lad, I’m only interested in the F18.

    Yeah, I think WinWing are still the best, the Orion 2 was a great Hotas for the money, and it feels amazing! But to each their own

    Winwing screams mostly DCS and Virpil works well with everything else for games such as space simulators and flight simulators. Man its Apple vs Android or Toyota vs Nissan. Pick your pick and you'll be fine. Ok, you caught me... imma Ram, Apple, Virpil gumby! :)

    Virpil makes ugly button boxes, just like Reaperware. Ugly as sin and don't even look like they belong m in a cockpit. Truck sim box.
    The Winwing, on the other hand, is beautiful and has so many buttons, it's really all you need. And it actually looks like it was ripped out of a real cockpit.

    • @g-locmedia

      I have to disagree. I love the virpil boxes. Yea Winwing boxes are nice too and very different design.
