Yes Virpil's device IDs can be changed, both VID and PID and so does the buttons and axis mapping. That is both a blessing and curse. What's also unfortunate is that Virpil was totally inconsistent as per which default PID they were giving to their devices, there was overlaps, like different sticks would get the same PID and then it changed between firmware versions too. It looks like they never had a plan to make sure people with the same hardware would default to the same PID. VID seems to be consistent though and remains 03EB.
So for EdRefCard to recognize your Virpil hardware and map actions properly you need to:
- Make sure the PID is set correctly.
- Use the expected axis and buttons mapping profile configuration matching the given PID.
Neither are guaranteed to work following Virpils firmware upgrade as they are known to be rather inconsistent.
After changing your PID to match the ones from EdRefCard you will need to do a search and replace in the ED config files too.
Here are the IDs of the hardware profile I contributed as defined in EdRefCard to date:
VPC-WarBRD-DELTA-Left: 03EB2042
VPC-WarBRD-DELTA-Right: 03EB2044
VPC-ALPHA-Left: 03EB2046
VPC-ALPHA-Right: 03EB2048
VPC-ALPHA-Left-Custom: 03EB9901
VPC-ALPHA-Right-Custom: 03EB9902
Both Delta and Alpha are using the once default Virpil mapping which should still work unless Virpil changed it.
There is also a couple of custom profiles for Alphas which I made up as
explained there.

I'm in the process of implementing EDRefCard support for Alphas. Feel free to give it a go and report any issues. Many mapping in the example linked below do not make sense. I'm in fact just getting started sorting out my mapping. Though the flying basics should be working. For it to work you nee...

XML profiles now available on GitHub. Original post: I've attached a couple of custom profiles for your left and right Alphas. The intention was to map the first 4 logical buttons to something that made more sense thus making our life easier on games which assume a sane button ordering for naviga...
