Frequently asked questions
- Where do I download official VIRPIL software?
- Use software.virpil.com (this portal). Each product has its own page with the latest installer, release notes, and documentation.
- Does VIRPIL software work with DCS and Microsoft Flight Simulator?
- Yes. VPC tools configure your USB HID devices on Windows; the simulator reads standard joystick inputs once axes and buttons are calibrated in the VPC application.
- Do I need separate apps for stick and throttle?
- It depends on your VPC product family. The catalogue on the home page lists current tools — open your device’s tool page for the correct download.
