How we Started
The VIRPIL Controls project began as a dream in 2016 - a group of passionate flight sim enthusiasts who met over the DCS and IL2 communities joined together to create a new range of flight sim controllers and accessories that lived up to the high expectations we had!
From humble beginnings, our mission resonated with the community and through the incredible support we've received, VIRPIL Controls has continued to thrive and has cemented it's position as a pioneer in the flight sim market.
We've since constructed our own dedicated HQ Facility within the EU and continue to look forward to bringing new and exciting sim controllers to the community!
We are committed to not only designing and producing high quality and innovative gear for virtual pilots, but also on providing stellar customer support! We are continuously recognised as providing best-in-class customer service with consumer-friendly policies.
VIRPIL Controls isn't just a manufacturer - it's a team of passionate flight sim enthusiasts!
VIRPIL Production
Since the very start of the VIRPIL Controls project, we always dreamed of creating our own fully featured production factory in the European Union. The planning for this facility began seriously in 2018 with the completed construction and grand opening in April, 2023!
While many other manufacturers across essentially every market will partner with 3rd party production facilities in places such as China, we wanted to break the mold and do everything in house, with local workforces specialised in the production of flight simulator devices.
We are a strong believer of supporting local economies and workforces - something we feel is hugely under-represented in our market.
From the very start of production; sourcing metal stock from local EU based suppliers, milling with our own CNC machines, production of PCBs through to hand assembly and final QC checks - we aim to complete as much of the process in-house as possible.
This is certainly not the cheapest, easiest or fastest way to operate - and as a small, niche manufacturer, it opens us up to more challenges when the world trade situation changes. However - it allows us to maintain full control of the production process, following our anti-trend of European manufacturing, high production standards and market leading customer support.
Despite these challenges, we've worked hard to keep our prices fixed whilst achieving the seriously high quality we strive for with our devices.
We are continuously reinvesting into the VIRPIL Controls project, introducing more machinery and staff so we can work to get your premium flight sim devices into your hands ASAP!
