Virpil Controls Rotor Plus TCS Base – Upgraded

Full-Metal Helicopter Collective Base • Built-In Counterweight • Twist-Throttle Axis with Idle Lock • Adjustable Cam & Clutch • USB Plug & Play

The Virpil Controls Rotor Plus TCS Base – Upgraded is engineered for helicopter simulation enthusiasts seeking unmatched realism, durability, and control fidelity. Featuring a full-metal design, integrated counterweight system, twist-throttle axis with idle-lock, and customisable movement resistance, this base brings professional-grade precision into any sim cockpit.

Full-Metal Construction for Maximum Stability

Crafted entirely from high-quality metal, the Rotor Plus TCS Base offers:

• Zero flex

• Long-term mechanical reliability

• A solid, weighty feel ideal for helicopter collective control

This robust foundation ensures smooth, consistent handling – especially during delicate manoeuvres such as hover, autorotation, and vertical landings.

Factory-Installed Counterweight System

The integrated counterweight keeps the collective lever balanced and reduces fatigue during long sessions.
This provides:

• A natural, controlled lever feel

• Smooth movement throughout the full range

• Less muscle strain during extended flights

Twist-Throttle Axis with Mechanical Idle Lock

Realistic turbine engine management directly at your collective:

• Dedicated twist-throttle axis for engine power control

• Idle stop button provides tactile feedback when passing into the idle zone

• Ideal for training engine control in realistic helicopter operations

Perfect for aircraft where throttle and collective are managed together.

3-Position Cam Plate for Custom Movement Range

Fine-tune the collective throw using the adjustable cam:

• Precisely limit travel across 3 selectable positions

• Match the movement range to cockpit constraints or grip types

• Achieve personalised setups for different helicopter models

Adjustable Clutch for Tailored Resistance

Tune the lever feel to your flying style:

• Increase friction for heavier, more stable movement

• Reduce friction for feather-light action

• Maintain smooth, consistent resistance throughout the full travel

Completely customisable for ultra-light trainers, medium helicopters, or heavy rotorcraft.

Plug & Play with VPC Configuration Support

The Rotor Plus TCS Base connects via standard USB and is immediately recognised by major flight simulations.

• No drivers required

• Works with all popular PC flight simulators

• Supported by VPC Configurator for advanced tuning
