So the alpha prime is compatible? Bc it only listed the non prime version

原hmm the buttons are the same no? iirc they said it's the same for the virpil base in the HOTAS discord virpil channel.
SI would assume if it works for one it should work for all.
SThose motors look like my dd wheel motor. Hmmm maybe I should get a second and have 20nm of force lol
SThats exactly what they are
SNow that’s nut busting
原looks like they won't survive either way...
SYou might as well just connect the stick directly to the motor at the point and have direct drive
SMy wheel base is heavy af
S
SI got the vrs small mige
SAnd it’s like 20 pounds at least
SAt least it feels like it
SYeah thats ok...
SI think a prime alpha paired with a rhino would be worth getting over a side stick
SHmmm
SI need a new throttle too
SWas looking at the virpil cm3 or the winwing Orion 2
S
SThis is how you can mount them together
SI wana design a throttle
SWith electronic programmable idle and afterburner stops
原some weight data https://youtu.be/WD5-Vgtmwps?t=418 https://youtu.be/aHuXCSFVaP4
Alpha 509g,
Alpha Prime 606g,
MCGU 594g,
MCGP 331g,
Warthog 1023g
as for WW I forgot the source but it seems to be:
WW16EX 613~629g
WW18 428g

SAnd much longer range then the crappy throttles for sale at the moment
SThe only throttle that I think is worthy is the super taurus
SBut that one is too big, my design is much more compact
原and the orientation of the grips on the ST are wrong.. what a shame
SAlright I gota go nani nani
STtyl
SYea the st is huge. I’ve used a cm3 before but it is a short throttle. Like 7 inches maybe but it still was very high quality
SI liked the labeled switches on the orion2 bc it’s designed around the aircraft I use most and can be adapted also to other other craft but so could the cm3
B@walmis I heard that the Rhino doesn't work in FFB mode with the AV8B Harrier in DCS. Do you know what the reason is that it doesn't work and what could the coders do to make it work?
RRazbam haven't implemented FFB in the Harrier. There's some too and fro in their Discord about it, but I haven't seen any movement on it.
SA very small non issue though for the best throttle available right now
SEveryone should ask razbam on their discord en masse why we still don't have a force feedback profile after all these years on the harrier
SWhats razbams discord

K!status
VHey @Kreytfire,
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

Kchecking the status is a kind of self-punishment 
Smaybe the bot can put the stats into a bunch of channel names like this bot does to users on another discord i'm on
BI found the drawing
原yeah not a deal breaker but since they went this far to make a replica I'd hope they take this small step forward and make it even more perfect. It's just an oversight from they. That angle is definitely there in the real one for apparent ergonomics reason..
Kcan u post the link / file?
BI had an Alpha, and now have a Prime. To me it has a lot more heft than the original, so I'm surprised to see such a small delta between their weights.
EDIT: There has been some discussion about the various brands of grips. Right now I have an Alpha Prime and the original TMW grip, and in the past I've had the TM F/A-18 and Alpha ones. I upgraded from the Alpha to the Alpha Prime primarily because they brag about the Prime having better switches. I can't really detect a difference, and I am somewhat disappointed in it. TM has the best switches I've used -- I almost never mistakenly push "up" on a hat when I want to push "left" -- this happens a lot with the trim hat I've assigned on the Prime. I have a real grip from some 1960s US fighter, and its switchlogy feels very similar to the TM grips'.
I also upgraded from the Virpil CM2 to the CM3 stick base, because of the clutches in the CM3. I'm not sure either upgrade was worth it (primarily b/c the clutches don't play well with the HPG H145 that I fly almost exclusively in MSFS), but then it "only" cost me about $150 to upgrade the Alpha grip and CM2 to the newer models (after selling my old setup). The Prime grip does light up real purty
, but I'm considering going back to my TMW grip.

ASimucube 2 Pro is also like 11 kg (24 pounds), the box when it arrived weighed like 18kg (40 pounds) 
Pthis is fixed in a coming VPForce update
SAnd I think that one is bigger than the vrs
SOk good to know. Thanks.
ANot really, the motor itself is 131x131x191 and with the shaft + QR 131x131x270
The VRS is smal mige w/o shaft 131x131x213 and with shaft but no QR is 131x131x270
So they are basically the same size, only difference being, simucube uses the back of the motor to house the electronics and their own encoder, while the VRS still uses the industrial grade encoder and encoder enclosure and uses external connection.
