VPC Universal Compact Base Plate
The VPC Universal Compact Base Plate replaces the standard base plate on your flightstick base — enabling hard-mounting to a cockpit frame, simpit, or custom rig. All-metal construction. Compatible with VPC WarBRD, MongoosT-50CM, and TM Warthog bases. The essential upgrade for pilots building a permanent, rigid cockpit setup without a desk mount arm.
The VPC Universal Compact Base Plate — sold by Player1 Sim Gear, the official VIRPIL distributor for Australia and New Zealand.

How it all connects
The VIRPIL Mount System
Every VIRPIL mount setup needs three layers — a mount, an adapter plate, and the hardware. You can't skip the adapter: hardware doesn't bolt directly to the mount arm. The three layers work across all setup types: desk, chair, and collective-mounted panel.
Choose your mount type
The Desk Mount (long or short arm) clamps to your desk edge — accommodating desk thicknesses from 9 mm to 65 mm using the included 20/40/60 mm bolt sets. The arm height and angle are adjustable. The Chair Mount bolts to your existing chair base for collective helicopter setups. The Collective Panel Mount Adapter clips to the arm of a Rotor TCS base for panel mounting.
You must choose an adapter plate
Hardware doesn't bolt directly to the mount arm — you need the specific adapter for what you're attaching. The WarBRD/CM3 Base Adapter bolts to the underside of your joystick base. The Control Panel Adapter mounts to the side of the desk mount arm. The Collective Base Chair Adapter has front and rear plates that fasten to your chair base.
Your joystick base, panel, or collective
Once the mount and adapter are in place, your hardware slots in. Joystick bases (WarBRD-D, MongoosT-50CM3), Control Panels (#1, #2, #3), and Rotor TCS collective bases all require their matching adapter plate. The same desk mount arm can hold a joystick base on top and a control panel on the side simultaneously via two separate adapters.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
What does the Universal Compact Base Plate do?+
The VPC Universal Compact Base Plate replaces the standard base plate on your flightstick base, providing a flat mounting surface with bolt holes that allow the base to be hard-mounted directly to a cockpit frame, simpit rail system, or custom rig. It removes the need for a desk mount arm when you have a dedicated cockpit structure to bolt into.
Which bases is this compatible with?+
The Universal Compact Base Plate (VPC-612) is compatible with the VPC WarBRD Base, VPC MongoosT-50CM Base, and the Thrustmaster Warthog Base. If you are unsure whether it fits your specific base, call us on 0488 385 870 before ordering.
Do I still need a desk mount if I use this base plate?+
No — the Compact Base Plate is designed for pilots who are hard-mounting their flightstick base directly to a cockpit frame or simpit structure. If you are mounting to a desk, you still need a VPC Desk Mount arm with the appropriate base adapter instead.
Is this covered by a warranty?+
Yes — all VIRPIL products are backed by a 2-year manufacturer warranty. As the official Australian VIRPIL distributor, Player1 Sim Gear handles warranty claims locally — no international returns required. Call 0488 385 870 if you have an issue.
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 from us means your warranty is honoured locally, you receive a valid Australian GST tax invoice, you're protected under Australian Consumer Law, and you can call a real person on 0488 385 870 if anything goes wrong.
