you'd think they would benefit from helping ensure a more consistent experience across the modules they sell
Mam guessing FFB is 0.001% of users
PI dunno, I think it might be much higher, something around 10% of users even
Pkeep in mind flight sims are a niche hobby still, compared to the rest of gaming
Pand people get very passionate about it
AFrankly I'm surprised at just how much ffb support there is considering how little high-end ffb sticks there have been around
Athat just might be changing now, though
PI definitely want to see the Rhino become widely used
Pit deserves to become the new FFB benchmark
AI think there are a lot of people who have wanted to combine the best possible grips (I love the mcgu) with FFB who haven't been happy with either the pricing and/or features of the existing solutions
Aif Rhino can hit that market things might go wild indeed
Pyep, Brunner is going to regret keeping their offerings at the "luxury item" pricing range
Pthe best way to make more money is to get more people buying your product
AMaybe there should be a patreon or kickstarter so that people can donate money for a Rhino to be sent to Eagle
AI wouldn't mind getting bumped up on the list so that ED can get one asap
PED doesn't need one, as DCS already fully supports FFB
Pit's the module designers that need to want to implement FFB for their airframes
Pwhat might get ED's attention is a nice chart showing the percentage of FFB users over time
Amaybe they don't need one, but if they liked it and made it a part of their testing the module developers might get kicked around a bit until they get their ffb implementation sorted
Pit'd key them into how much the market wants more reasons to have FFB
Aright now charts are very much limited by how much walmis can pump out stuff
PI meant for the community at large, not just people looking at getting a Rhino
Alike with trackir a long time ago, if the developers experience it and see the utility they will be inclined to support it even if it's not very popular tech quite yet
Pprice is the #1 reason why more people don't have FFB devices
Athere is definitely some amount of chicken and egg going on here
Pit's very, very common to read/hear people say "sure would be nice to have FFB, but I can't afford X or Y"
AWell the Rhino is not exactly cheap, but it's in a kind of interesting price range
Ppeople even buy small transducers and attach them to their joystick/cyclic base/frame
Pdefinitely not cheap, but absolutely in the higher end instead of luxury end
Pthe community has much higher tolerance for "expensive but great"
PBrunner is in the "jesus christ how much?" range
APeople seem to already be willing to shell out about 600€ for a high end stick and if you already have the grip anyway, Rhino is not that much more expensive
Pand given what I've heard of their overall build quality, I've long wondered how they're still in business
AI've read that they had they have issues with overheating, but can't say much about that since I've never tested one
Psame, and at their prices, I never will
Pand once I get my Rhino, I'll never want to 
Athey're not exactly handing out review units like candy either
PI'm putting off so many things just to wait for my turn in the pre-order
PI hate messing with my joystick base's cams and springs
Ayou could also just start with all the other things and wait patiently, maybe even switch slots with someone much further back
Pnah
PI really wish walmis would put up a pre-order progress post or something
AI wrote a review kind of thing on VKB-Virpil-Winwing during the summer, I fiddled with springs and cams on three different bases constantly
PI just want to see a number tick down
Amy fingers don't speak to me anymore
Athat's actually a pretty huge issue for my romantic life
PI imagine
Pmaybe send them some flowers and chocolates as an apology
AI think some of them might be just dead
Phow are you typing then?
Amostly with my nose and by licking the keyboard
