@walmis Virpil just released their Constellation Alpha Prime grip and their new CM3 base
CI used my Rhino DIY with the Apache. It's really great (even if the last beta introduce some issues with SAS)
RI use 15mm belts but I'm sure 10mm is fine.. @walmis can confirm.
WThere's plenty on AliExpess too
W10mm belt on 15mm is fine (that's what I use on Rhino) 
WNice! But still no FFB 
WAdded support for multiple Rhino USB device instances in the upcoming version. Here's an FFB rudder instance for example.
Windows has a shortcoming when multiple game controllers with the same VID/PID cannot have different names in the device list. So I had to implement ability to change the USB productID.

DAre you going to make FFB rudders?
WNot yet, this is more for FFB kit applications currently
SThanks for this. I'm glad to hear. Do you keep it in "dead stick" mode when you fly the Apache, or do you also use it in a "return to center" as well? (btw - there's a SAS saturation beep "reduction" workaround. Makes the bug a bit more tolerable - https://forum.dcs.world/topic/307600-sas-saturation/#comment-5036929)

I fly rather okay, but since about a week I have annoying sound of SAS SATURATION message too often to stand the game. It appears very often except perhaps straight flying. Even small adjustment of throttle causes it. Tried to turn off various channels in A/C utils page, but to no avail. I see a ...
VI made a quick sound mod to silence it, just sets the gain to 0. Doesn't seem to cause any of the issues listed
CI know for the workaround, because it was me who found and posted it 
Of course I use the "FFB trim" mode. That is when I set the trim the stick remains in its current position and efforts are centered for this new position (to be totally honest, it's a little bit in front of the position of the stick when you press the button). The more you move it from the new trimmed position, the more effort you will feel.
If you release the stick, it will go back to the trimmed position. If you reset trim and release the stick, it will go back to default center position.

SThe small world of DCS helli flyers Thanks for this clarification. I suppose that this is exactly how the real Apache (and other Hellis) work.

Vthat's pretty much how all IRL helictopers work. exceptions being maybe "trim resets" and things that also have a nudging trim feature

@vkb.operator
CVKB is showing interest in FFB, I see
CRegardless if it's business-related or not, welcome

@magpiee
MMy only wish is that this stick will help me not to rip the wings off my F-5
VThe higher force would probably counter the urge to yank the stick somewhat
CThat is until you get used to the feedback
CBut by then you'll probably have a good habit in not yoinking your inputs around
DDon’t kid yourself, you’ll still do that
Dripping wings? all i know is spinning out of control! - F1 gang
nah just kidding, it doesn't- just please don't abuse the airplane

MHaha yeah I'm just always riding that edge in the initial merge lol. Hopefully the pressure helps!
P@walmis any Rhinos recently shipped?
Dstill trying to catch them i assume
Pmaybe the delays are due to rhinos loose in the new lab
Pand while I don't want to bug the guy, two weeks without an update is too long
JLast I remember hearing I think 16 is next and he was planning on getting a few out this week
PI was more mentioning it to see if you knew anything about any features the Alpha Prime grip uses that'd require software updating for the Rhino
WNot yet, but worked on manufacturing/sourcing necessary parts and focused more on software/firmware updates this week.
Pcool beans!
Soooh
Srudder too?
Snow I really want to see that
DI would love ffb rudders, but I want my stick first
MFfb mod for virpil rudders
MDoes dcs export ffb to rudders anyway?
TIl2 doesn't
Dthere is an FFB option for rudders in DCS, but that could be for only selective airframes?
Fhmmm, maybe it could be tested with the Rhino and the AH64. just x axis for rudder, will try later...
MOh yea, good idea
MTry a warbird too!
MAnd an f14!
Wwhew, software update is out finally 
Phopefully the Constellation Alpha Prime inputs match the Alpha inputs
Dthey should be detected as the same device regarding inputs, they are effectively the same stick
D@thezoq2 question, you managed to got DCS running on linux via your walkthrough on github
Was that steam only? Or standalone too

DNvm im blind! Found it
Did you have any issues with the ground textures though?
