Authentic attack helicopter feel. Unmatched collective fidelity for DCS.
Authentic attack helicopter design
Inspired by the legendary attack helicopter's collective, featuring the iconic non-traditional dual-grip design. VIRPIL has replicated the full suite of collective inputs to put the feel of a real attack helicopter in your hands.
Full attack helicopter control set
Two single-stage triggers, two analogue sticks with push, four 4-way hats, four 2-way hats, six push buttons and a 3-way toggle: the complete input set as found on the real-life collective, with minor changes.
Adjustable finger-lift detent system
A real physical finger-lift detent with four included detent plate styles: Classic, Classic Plus, Warthog-Type and Aerobatic. Plates are adjustable and can be mixed and matched for a huge range of configuration possibilities.
8-zone programmable RGB backlighting
Eight independent RGB zones configurable based on button states, shift modes or cockpit aesthetics. For maximum realism, the backlighting can be disabled entirely.
Lightweight construction
Due to the grip's unique dual-grip design and extended length, it is built with a lightweight construction to ensure peak performance and precision from your Rotor TCS collective base.
Comprehensive VPC configuration software
Axis-to-button mapping, virtual axes, shift states, toggles, RGB zone programming and more, all available through the free VPC Configuration Suite. Works plug-and-play as a standard USB HID device without any drivers.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Does the Dual-SF Collective Grip include a base?
No, it's a grip only. You need a compatible VIRPIL Rotor TCS collective base, either the VPC Rotor TCS Collective or the VPC Rotor TCS Plus Collective. The Dual-SF is designed for these collective bases and is not compatible with flightstick bases. Call us on 0488 385 870 and we can help you choose the right base for your helicopter sim setup.
Which base should I use with the Dual-SF for the most realistic helicopter sim experience?
The VPC Rotor TCS Collective or Rotor TCS Plus Collective are the ideal, and only officially supported, bases for the Dual-SF grip. Unlike the Hawk-60, the Dual-SF is not designed to mount on flightstick bases such as the WarBRD or MongoosT-50.
What detent plate styles are included?
Four detent plate styles are included: Classic (lift to pass, push return), Classic Plus (lift to pass with extra tactile bump), Warthog-Type (lift to pass and lift to return), and Aerobatic (push through detents). Plates are adjustable in position and can be mixed and matched.
What sims is the Dual-SF best suited for?
The Dual-SF is designed specifically for the attack helicopter module in DCS World. It's also excellent for any other DCS helicopter module, MSFS 2024 helicopter flying, and X-Plane 12. It works as a standard USB HID device with any USB-compatible sim.
Do I need special software to use this grip?
No, it works out of the box as a standard USB HID device without any software. For advanced configuration such as axis-to-button mapping, virtual axes, shift states, toggles and RGB zone programming, the free VPC Configuration Suite is available from the VIRPIL support portal.
What warranty and returns cover the Dual-SF Collective Grip?
It's backed by a 2-year VIRPIL manufacturer warranty, handled locally by Player1 Sim Gear as the official Australian distributor, so there are no international returns for warranty work. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind return: item in original, unused condition, refund less return shipping and a 5% handling fee. Full Australian Consumer Law protection applies. Call 0488 385 870 with any questions.
Do you ship to all of Australia? How long does delivery take?
Yes, we ship Australia-wide from our Queensland warehouse. We aim to dispatch same day or within 1–2 business days. Delivery typically takes 2–8 business days depending on location. All orders are fully trackable and insured. Call 0488 385 870 for current stock and express options.
Why buy from Player1 Sim Gear rather than directly from VIRPIL overseas?
Player1 Sim Gear is the official VIRPIL distributor for Australia and New Zealand. Buying locally means full Australian Consumer Law protection, a valid Australian GST tax invoice, warranty handled locally (no international shipping for repairs), Australian stock, and a team you can call on 0488 385 870 who actually flies sims like DCS and MSFS on this gear.
What support do you offer after purchase?
We offer pre-sale advice on base and grip combinations, setup support after delivery including VPC Configuration Suite help, and local warranty handling. Our team flies DCS World helicopter modules regularly. Call 0488 385 870 or visit our support page.
