Installing the Ascher Racing SimHub plugin is recommended, as it unlocks animated screens, telemetry-triggered lighting and full configuration of all 14 buttons, 21 shift LEDs and the 4-inch display. SimHub works with all major sim titles including iRacing, Assetto Corsa, ACC, rFactor 2, Le Mans Ultimate and F1 25.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Can I upgrade the paddle shifters and clutches later?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes. The Artura Ultimate is designed with an upgrade path built in.

Screens are fully customisable, and it sits in your natural peripheral vision so your eyes stay on track.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How do the RGB buttons work and can I customise the colours?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Each of the 14 push buttons is individually illuminated with up to 16 million colours. Colours are assigned through the Ascher Racing SimHub plugin and can be static, telemetry-driven (for example green for ABS available, red when it triggers), or animated. The buttons also have genuine tactile feedback, so they click.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What are the joysticks and encoders used for?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The two 7-way joysticks are multifunctional, commonly used for in-sim menus, function displays and brake balance, with a centre pressure point for an extra input. The two 12-position rotaries and four thumb encoders handle quick car adjustments such as brake bias, traction control and mapping. Modifier modes let you multiply the functions well beyond the physical inputs.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is this an officially licensed McLaren product?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes. Ascher Racing built this wheel in official collaboration with McLaren Automotive. It is based on the real McLaren Artura GT4 racing wheel and uses identical components, the same ergonomics and the same 300mm diameter. It is not a replica, it is the official McLaren GT4 sim wheel.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What warranty does it come with in Australia?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"As an authorised Australian dealer, Player1 Sim Gear handles all warranty matters locally, with no overseas returns required.

Turning it does two things at once: it engages mechanical locks that reconfigure the two rails, and it remaps the sensor output so the game receives the right kind of signal. There is nothing to change in software, and because the mechanism and the signal move together the shifter cannot end up mechanically in one mode while reporting the other.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eWhat does \"dual-rail\" actually mean and why does it matter?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"bdh-faq-a\"\u003eIt means two independent selector shafts rather than one shaft asked to do both jobs. Real performance gearboxes use dual or triple rails for strength and precision, and the same logic applies here. In H-pattern mode both shafts move in unison, which is what makes the throw feel slick and aligned. In sequential mode the secondary shaft locks in place. The result is that neither mode has been softened to accommodate the other, which is the usual compromise in a dual-mode shifter.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eWhat is the difference between the H2SQ and the older H1SQ?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"bdh-faq-a\"\u003eThe H2SQ is the next generation, built on more than two years of testing. The headline changes are the true dual-rail architecture with independent shafts, a new hex drive that keeps the centre position true and mitigates play, an external USB-C port replacing the H1SQ's internal PCB-mounted connection, and new sensor logic using a ninth sensor to cleanly separate sequential inputs from H-pattern ones.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eHow many gears does it have in H-pattern mode?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"bdh-faq-a\"\u003eEight gear gates, with a configurable layout, so you can run four, five, six or seven speeds plus reverse depending on the car. In sequential mode the up and down shifts are reported on the 9th and 10th inputs instead, which keeps them separate from the H-pattern gears in your control bindings.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eCan I move 7th and reverse without rotating the shifter?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"bdh-faq-a\"\u003eNo. The physical position of the 7th and reverse gate can only be changed by rotating the whole unit 180 degrees. What you can do freely is reassign which gate maps to which gear inside the game, so the in-sim configuration is entirely up to you even though the gate itself is fixed.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eCan I adjust how heavy the shift feels?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"bdh-faq-a\"\u003eYes. The H2SQ has an adjustable detent gauge with a double-locking preset function, so you can set how much force it takes to cross into a gate and then lock that setting so it does not drift. Each unit is also hand-tuned at BDH for gate resistance and travel before it ships.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eWhat is the difference between the H2SQ's sequential mode and the S1?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"bdh-faq-a\"\u003eThey are tuned for different disciplines. The H2SQ's sequential is a sprint-style action, with a shorter shaft and smoother engagement, which suits circuit and touring car driving. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/bdh-s1-sequential-shifter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eBDH S1\u003c\/a\u003e is rally-focused, with a longer shaft and a high-impact, aggressive feel driven by its Dynamic Inertia Mechanism.

Black and Red is the signature H2SQ finish with a red accent ring at the mode collar, plain Black blends into a dark rig, and Silver leaves the machined aluminium bright and is the most photogenic.

The H2SQ plugs into your PC directly rather than into the wheel base, so it is completely independent of what brand your base, wheel or pedals are. It works alongside Simagic, MOZA, Fanatec, Simucube, Asetek, Cammus, Logitech or Thrustmaster hardware without any special configuration.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eDo I need two control profiles, one per mode?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"bdh-faq-a\"\u003eNo, and this is one of the practical advantages of the H2SQ's sensor logic. Sequential up and down shifts arrive on the 9th and 10th inputs while the H-pattern gears use the first eight, so your sim sees them as distinct buttons. One control profile covers both modes and there is no conflict when you switch the collar mid-session.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eHow do I mount it to my rig?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"bdh-faq-a\"\u003eThe H2SQ has an integrated clamp system for aluminium profile rigs using standard M8 x 1.25 points with T-nut compatibility, and it mounts through a full 360 degrees, so top, side and reverse are all supported. Side-mounting is the popular choice because the unit is substantial and it frees the space beside the seat.

Real performance gearboxes use dual or triple rails for strength and precision, and the same logic applies here. In H-pattern mode both shafts move in unison, which is what makes the throw feel slick and aligned. In sequential mode the secondary shaft locks in place.

It reduces spring bounce when returning to centre and can be adjusted to hold the pedals in a deflected position, removing the centering force entirely. It's particularly recommended for helicopter and space sim pilots who want smooth, drift-free rudder inputs.

Disengage them for fast, uninhibited inputs (great for dogfighting), semi-damp for steady aim without oscillation, or fully lock an axis to keep the stick in place without returning to center — useful for helicopters or a force-sensing feel. Each axis is tuned independently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat is the difference between AviaSim and CosmoSim cams?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eAviaSim cams provide a non-linear centering force — resistance increases more steeply the further from center, building feel and muscle memory for atmospheric flight. CosmoSim cams provide a linear centering force — equal resistance across the full travel, ideal for fast wall-to-wall movements in space sims. Both come in soft-center and no-center variants, and all are included in the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eCan I swap cams and springs myself?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eYes — the WarBRD-D is designed for pilot-level servicing. Swapping cams and springs needs only the included hex keys and takes around 15 minutes. VIRPIL provides full video guides on their support portal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eCan I fully lock an axis for helicopter collective or throttle use?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eYes. Because each axis clutch damper can be set to fully locked, the WarBRD-D can hold an axis in place without it springing back to center — handy for helicopter collective-style inputs or anyone who prefers a static, force-sensing feel on one or both axes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat grips are compatible with the WarBRD-D?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eAll current VIRPIL grips are compatible: CDT-AERO-R, CDT-AERO-L, Constellation ALPHA Prime [R], Constellation ALPHA Prime [L], T-50CM3 grips, T-50CM2 grips, the Hawk-60 collective grip and the SharKa-50 collective grip. You can upgrade your grip at any time without replacing the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eHow does the WarBRD-D compare to the flagship MongoosT-50CM3 base?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eBoth share VIRPIL's metal dual-cam gimbal, contactless digital sensors and adjustable clutch dampers. The MongoosT-50CM3 is the larger flagship base with the most extensive adjustability and cam range, while the WarBRD-D delivers the same core dual-cam precision and clutch damper tuning in a more compact, mid-range package — a superb balance of performance and value for most pilots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat's the difference between the WarBRD-D and the all-in-one CDT-AEROMAX sticks?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eThe WarBRD-D is a base only — you choose and attach your own VIRPIL grip, which makes it ideal if you want to mix grips or already own one. The CDT-AEROMAX range is an all-in-one flightstick with an integrated base and grip in a compact form. Pick the WarBRD-D for a modular base-plus-grip setup, or an AEROMAX if you want a complete stick out of the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat does the detachable AUX connector do?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eThe AUX connector lets you daisy-chain multiple VPC devices together so they share a single USB connection to your PC — saving USB ports and tidying cabling across a larger cockpit. Both the USB and AUX connectors are detachable for cleaner transport and cable management.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eCan I mount the WarBRD-D in a cockpit or on a desk mount?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eYes. The WarBRD-D works on a desktop, on a VPC Desk Mount, or bolted into a Monstertech, 3rd party or DIY simpit frame using standard mounting patterns.

Pre-tensioners add an independent spring bias to each axis to fine-tune the centering feel. Both are adjusted on the fly without disassembling the base, and each axis is controlled independently, so you can dial in a completely personalised response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eWhy is the smaller deflection angle better for extensions?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eWith a long desk extension, the arc the grip travels grows significantly with deflection angle. A smaller deflection angle keeps that arc comfortable and practical, so you get full stick range without exaggerated wrist movement.

AviaSim cams use a non-linear centering force suited to atmospheric flight (DCS, MSFS, IL-2); CosmoSim cams use a linear force suited to fast space-sim inputs (Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous). Soft Center adds a subtle detent at center, No Center is ultra-smooth, and Hard Center gives a strong tactile detent for instantly finding level flight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eCan I set different cams on each axis?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eYes. Each axis is tuned independently, so you can run different cam profiles on pitch and roll. A popular configuration is No Center on pitch with Soft Center on roll, which makes it easy to find level flight during disorienting manoeuvres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eCan I swap cams and springs myself?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eYes — the CM3 is designed for pilot-level servicing. Pre-tensioner springs swap directly from the top plate; cams swap by removing the springs and bottom plate to reach the cam mounting screws.

Because each axis clutch damper can be set to fully locked, the CM3 will hold an axis in place without springing back to center — useful for helicopter collective-style inputs, or when running the base as one stick in a dual-stick HOSAS space-sim rig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pcs-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-q\"\u003eCan I build a dual-stick HOSAS setup with two MongoosT-50CM3 bases?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"pcs-faq-a\"\u003eAbsolutely.

The WarBRD-D is a slightly more compact, more affordable option that shares the same clutch damper system and core dual-cam gimbal.

Pre-tensioners add an independent spring bias to each axis to fine-tune the centering feel. Both are adjusted on the fly without disassembling the base, and each axis is controlled independently, so you can dial in a completely personalised response.\"\n   }\n  },\n  {\n   \"@type\": \"Question\",\n   \"name\": \"Why is the smaller deflection angle better for extensions?\",\n   \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n    \"text\": \"With a long desk extension, the arc the grip travels grows significantly with deflection angle. A smaller deflection angle keeps that arc comfortable and practical, so you get full stick range without exaggerated wrist movement. That makes the CM3 the standard recommendation for mounted cockpit builders using stick extensions.\"\n   }\n  },\n  {\n   \"@type\": \"Question\",\n   \"name\": \"Can I use my Thrustmaster Warthog or Cougar grip with the MongoosT-50CM3?\",\n   \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n    \"text\": \"Yes — the MongoosT-50CM3 is compatible with Thrustmaster Warthog and Cougar grips, making it an excellent upgrade base for pilots already invested in the TM grip ecosystem who want a major step up in gimbal quality, adjustability and feel.\"\n   }\n  },\n  {\n   \"@type\": \"Question\",\n   \"name\": \"What are the five cam profiles and which should I use?\",\n   \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n    \"text\": \"You get AviaSim Soft Center, AviaSim No Center, AviaSim Hard Center, CosmoSim Soft Center and CosmoSim No Center. AviaSim cams use a non-linear centering force suited to atmospheric flight (DCS, MSFS, IL-2); CosmoSim cams use a linear force suited to fast space-sim inputs (Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous).
