@walmis whats the lead time currently for a new order? roughly
@walmis whats the lead time currently for a new order? roughly
Pbetween 90-120 days I think I saw last
Pbut likely get's quicker, he did move to a bigger facility not too long ago I believe
Palso totally worth the wait too, just got mine today, it'rs really solid, got some weight to it but not ott, I've also been really impressed with how easy it's been to set it up too
WSure, I will do that.
WNje, not really, I kinda thought that it simulated the inertia/friction etc of a real cyclic (and the assorted bits and bobs it is connected to) i.e. you can't whip a real cyclic back and forth so quickly and that DCS simulates that. Odd though that the behaviour changes with trimmer mode.
WNo experince here though, I've only flown IRL small prop planes with control rods directly connected to the control surfaces.
WBut this will not move the SCAS window or am I missunderstanding how you use this program...
S"remember that, ultimately, the decision to buy the vpforce joystick is up to your wife" 
SIts just ffb feel, the scas window will still work if you have trim bound
SI think that if they want to add some kind of damper they should do it internally in the apache. But I dont think this is that, it just doesnt make sence to limit the input speed for ffb sticks and no spring ones but then leave center spring joysticks perfectly responsive
SAnd its really bad anyways because if you move the stick in real life your brain expects the one in game to be in the same position.
SAnd this problem is not on any other module as far as im aware
SAlso scroll up a bit we have been talking about how the stick should move, there are videos and info
WGot the input loopback app running and talking with the Rhino 
PJust wanted to let ppl know that my first experiences using the RHINO base has been absolute positive! From my first impressions of the base itself, then the ease of initial set up, plus walmis has been active along with other discord members in helping answer questions in the support channel. I just want to let anyone know that may be on the fence about this product what type of experience I've had with it & it's creator! Thanks Walmis it's been a great experience!
WCheers! I'm humbled 
SYeah I definitely need to loosen it up

VHey @craptakularuk,
So the last Shipped RHINO is #0030 on 2022-12-08
Average waiting time from preorder to shipped is 85 days, median is 109 days, max is 156 days
28 Rhinos are shipped in total

CI’m so excited to hopefully get one in the future but there are 198 orders before mine so likely to be 2024 I suspect 
CTrying to determine to go all in on vkb gunfighter or just get an EVO NXT while I wait for a rhino. If I go there EVO route I could get a better set of pedals like the MFG ones with dampener
MI got one last night, it's worth the wait!
My rudder pedals feel so lifeless in comparison now

CThat’s great. I don’t mind waiting. I’m just going to keep my x52 hotas going for as long as possible I think
BI have a Monstertech aluminum profile-based simpit, and am trying to figure out how I will mount a Rhino on it. I take it that it needs to be attached to something solid, like a plate on the floor, correct? (I.e. it's not heavy enough to be free-standing, correct?) This is my setup from a few months ago; my current one is a bit different (newer Virpil stick base, with a different mounting system) but this shows the interface between the base and simpit.
I prefer a side mounted one, not centered with the seat (which doesn't have a cutout).
BTW, where can I find dimensioned drawings of the Rhino?

WWhy is the review section so bare? We have all of these guys getting their kit and going silent - what's up with that?
SThey’re probably too busy flying
SHi I just found this discord and am curious where I can find pricing info? Thanks.
SNvm actually. I see it under the faq
SSo I’m pretty new to dcs but have been sim racing a lot so my knowledge of ffb stems from that. I have been reading up as much as I can on ffb in dcs and it’s hard to grasp the answers I’m looking for. Is ffb supported by all planes in dcs? I read somewhere on a YouTube comment that the f16 doesn’t have ffb and if this is true does the stick software simulate. I’m trying to determine if I want to go ffb center stick or get a side mounted fssb stick atm. Thanks.
原the real f-16 stick senses force and only moves about 1/4 inch or so and jusy like many other modern aircraft, it's not FFB. If you fly F16 only and want a more realistic experience perhaps force sensing bases are better. That said, someone had asked Walmis(the dev) couple of days ago if it's possible to use the VPF base as a force sensing base and he said it might be possible to simulate a force sensing base in the future firmware update tho no more details
FOne of the ChatGPT memes feels like a personal attack though...
PHey m8, I'm busy atm but asap I'll get you some basic dimensions of the base if you'd like, I can't find the pdf atm that has the info. But basically yes it needs to be either floor mounted or mounted to something solid enough to take ~4kg ~9 pound that wants to throw itself around, the x & y axis throw on it is massive too! this is good cause you can use the software to make endstops so you can tweak the throw length of the x & y axis.
PI can confirm we are getting there RHINO bases & disappearing into our gaming set ups & only emerging back out for sustenance & relief breaks!
Sthe stick on the f16 is load cell
Pcheck out Winwing's new MFSSB (Moveable Force Sensing Stick Base) they have the F-16 grip & throttle to go with it too!
Syes know about it
SI already have a load cell stick though
SSo that makes sense why it wouldn’t support ffb in the sim bc the real plane won’t have ffb on the stick. But helos, warbirds and center stick aircraft in dcs all have ffb?
SI fly the hornet a lot for instance. I haven’t gotten much into helo or warbirds yet but plan on it
SWhich stick do you have?
Sx65f
SSthis is the ffb effects for all modules
Sreal planes have ffb, the question is which ones
Sand how they do it
Sanything ww2 or earlier have ffb because their control surfaces are linked directly to the stick like on a car with no power steering
Sso all the effects from the wind would be very strong
Spost ww2 you get hydraulic power steering and now fbw
