Frequently Asked Questions
What flight simulators is this bundle compatible with?
The VIRPIL Fighter Pilot Pack flight simulator bundle is optimised for PC sims including DCS World, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020/2024, IL-2 Sturmovik, Star Citizen, X-Plane 12, and War Thunder. The VIRPIL CDT-AERO-R grip and MongoosT-50CM3 throttle are particularly well suited to DCS, with the VPC Configuration Software allowing full axis curves, button macros and sim-specific profiles. All components connect as standard USB HID devices — no specialist drivers required.
Why choose VIRPIL over other flight control brands?
VIRPIL Controls are manufactured in Lithuania and are widely regarded as the benchmark for professional-grade flight sim hardware. Their dual-cam gimbal technology delivers the most accurate and consistent stick feel available in any consumer product, and their Hall effect sensors ensure precision that does not degrade over time. As the official Australian and New Zealand VIRPIL distributor, Player1 Sim Gear handles all warranty and support locally — no overseas returns, no delays.
Can I customise the components in this pack?
Yes. Every component in the pack can be swapped, upgraded or added to. Common customisations include upgrading to the VIRPIL R1-LEGEND pedals, adding the R1 Damper Upgrade Kit to the R1-FALCON, swapping to a different VIRPIL throttle, or adding a ButtKicker haptic unit for physical immersion feedback. Send us a message and we can build a custom quote.
Which VR headset should I choose — Crystal Light or Crystal Super?
The Crystal Light is the right choice for most sim pilots. It delivers exceptional clarity at 2880 x 2880 per eye and runs well on mid-to-high-end GPUs (RTX 3080 class and above). The Crystal Super 50PPD Ultrawide is the best VR headset available for sim use, but its 3840 x 3840 per eye resolution demands a top-tier GPU (RTX 4080 or better). If you're unsure which suits your PC, reach out and we can advise based on your specs.
Does this pack work with consoles?
No. All components in this bundle — the NLR Boeing Military Edition cockpit, VIRPIL CDT-AERO-R grip, MongoosT-50CM3 base and throttle, R1-FALCON pedals, and VPC Universal Compact Base Plate — are PC-only. Flight simulation software of this calibre (DCS, MSFS, IL-2) is a PC platform — console support is not available for this category of hardware.
How does warranty work for VIRPIL products bought in Australia?
All VIRPIL products purchased through Player1 Sim Gear carry a 2-year manufacturer warranty, handled entirely in Australia. You deal with us directly — not with overseas support. All purchases are also covered by full Australian Consumer Law statutory guarantees, which apply regardless of any individual product warranty terms. The NLR Boeing Military Edition carries Next Level Racing's standard manufacturer warranty.
How is this pack shipped and how long does delivery take?
Player1 Sim Gear ships Australia-wide using fast, reliable freight carriers. We aim to dispatch same-day where possible. Large items like the NLR Boeing Military Edition cockpit are sent via road freight and require someone to be available for delivery. Please allow 2-8 business days depending on your location. Remote and regional areas may incur additional freight time. We cannot ship to PO Boxes.
