Rotor TCS Base [UPGRADED]

 

The VPC Rotor TCS Collective has proven itself as an invaluable addition to any rotary pilot's cockpit! Providing realistic and incredibly precise collective control, with an all metal adjustable axis mechanism, it allows you to take your virtual helicopter pilot career to new levels.

The Standard Rotor TCS variant features just the essentials required for precise helicopter collective control - don't settle for using a standard throttle or joystick for collective inputs any longer!

The Rotor TCS lineup has now been [UPGRADED] and includes the hugely popular Rotor Counter-Balance Kit installed as standard from the VIRPIL factory! 

Adjustable Axis Limiter

By rotating the internal axis limiter cam, you can restrict the total travel of the VPC Rotor TCS Collective from a minimum of 30 degrees of travel to maximum of 50 degrees to perfectly suit your particular cockpit or grip combination.

Adjustable Counter-Balance

The latest [UPGRADED] variants of the Rotor TCS bases include our new Counter Balance Kits installed as standard!

The counter balance kit allows you to fine tune the balance of the collective, depending on which grip you're using - counteracting the weight of the grip and allowing the collective to remain in place whilst still being incredibly smooth with a light actuation force.

In combination with the axis clutch dampers you can fine tune the exact feel to suit your preferences!

Versatile Mounting Options

With the included bracket, you can DIY mount the Rotor TCS Collective to a number of DIY and simpit setups using the mounting holes.

For those with a desk setup, we also have a Chair Mount Adapter that can be used with a variety of standard office desk chairs!

TCS base

Superb build quality; it is as close to the real thing as it gets, and I am satisfied. As for reliability, only time will tell.

TCS collective

Brilliant device. Solid construction, simple to setup with software updates.
Very adjustable with a realistic feel. Must have peripheral for a helo sim pilot.
Strongly recommended.

As with all Virpil products beautifully packaged and presented. Just wish the time scale for back order products weren't so long. 9 weeks, but worth waiting for.

Great overal

Would be perfect if there were adapters made specifically for the NLR Boeing flight rig

Great addition

I purchased the base and it has been great flying helicopters. I’ve been using a homemade collective and always struggled keeping the friction right so the stick would drop when not holding the stick. Friction with this base is easily adjustable and has remained as originally set. I’m looking for to adding a grip in the future. Took a few months on back order, but well worth the wait and the quality is comparable to the real thing!

Awesome Gear!

Couldn’t be happier with the purchase! Collective base and Hawk-60 grip are top quality. If you didn’t know otherwise, you’d think they came out of a real heli. Setup was quick and simple. I highly recommend these items to anyone who wants to take their sim experience to the next level.

Well designed

Very happy with this collective and grip. As an avid flyer of the whirligigs I love having all the buttons and switches that the Apache grip has available.
I had a friend come over who also flies choppers in DCS and he is now looking to buy one for his rig.

Love the collective

Truly so much more realistic feeling than flying with the throttle repurposed.

Excellent quality

This is so much better than using a joystick throttle. Way better control and even feels more ergonomic. Very impressed with it. No drama with delivery either. No extra import duties or customs duty, (which someone had written online). Highly recommended.

Fantastic quality and precise controls

I purchased this base together with the Hawk60 grip in order to fly DCS and MSFS.

I am absolutely blown away by the built quality and the ease of configuration, mounting and usage.

Flying with this base in combination with the grip is so much more precise than with a throttle - just fantastic.

It is a great add on to have already the new backup with the spring built in. So the collective keeps its position without the need of tightening the clutches too hard.

Excellent work VIRPIL - I am more than excited

amazing!

As an helicopter fan, this is a must have, the quality is there, one thing I particularly like about the Virpil product is that you can always tune it to your liking, here you can very easily change the motion angle of the collective from 30, 40 to 50°! Your can also change the friction of the axe, and well, if something fail, it can be repared!

As usual, best product! Plus it's just a revolution from a basic throttle in helicopter piloting, it's precise and very immersive!
