Hey @txgunslinger, So the last Shipped RHINO is #0033 on 2023-01-04 Average waiting time from preorder to shipped is 88 days, median is 109 days, max is 177 days 29 Rhinos are shipped in total
@walmis I've read the FAQ but still not sure, when it comes to being my turn in line can I customise some aspects at all (with additional funds of course), for me one area of concern is the exposed belts and gears, due to placement in my pit and likelihood of pet hair / dust getting into the mechanism's , I would wish those to be covered, I could make something myself but .....well ya know, in for a penny in for a pound and all that , unless there is a reason why they are exposed in the first place maybe ?
Also you state a few motor variations, is there only the one option on the pre made Rhino , the larger optional motors only available for the kits ? sorry to anyone in advance if this post upsets them.
Correct, the big motors are only available as kits, the smaller motors are available both ways. I'm in the process of making kits to accompany walmis's kits so people can complete their own bases with basic skills. Here's some screenshots/vid to give an idea of the form factor. It's the smaller motors but the bigger ones will be the same thing just bigger. https://discordapp.com/channels/965234441511383080/972180323787997255/1045828088967204915
Enter your details here, so you can enter the waiting queue for the Rhino FFB base. Once the queue progresses I will get in touch with further details.
Yeah, you are the men. Was thinking of making one in advance to v receiving my rhino, but I think, now I don't have to cut my fingers off on trying so. Aluminum?
Wouldn't aluminum the better choice? The Rhino is already kinda heavy, compared to a "normal" base, plus the higher forces needed to operate it, that will put a lot of stress on the table/Mt fitting. I would expect to save as much weight as possible.
What dont you like about it that you would change? Seems pretty ideal unless you wanted to use a shorter extension because the long extension reduces the forces too much?
Yes, the Rhino works out of the box with Condor 2. You get stick movement with trim, stall buffet and possibly some stick force modulation with speed. But that's it. No speed-brake shake or ground roll/impact rumbles. It's not flashy, but it works.
That would be a question for the Condor developers. The Rhino presumably simply takes the force feedback signals from Condor and implements them. I think Walmis was talking about potentially developing some dynamic effects modelling that would read in things like airspeed, g-force etc. that would provide effects to games that didn't have FFB outputs, but that's probably pretty low on the priority list.
Ah, right. DCS has all of those, but it's dependent on the module developers which they put in. Am sure there's a thread somewhere in this discord that summarizes which effects are in which modules. The F-14, notably, is really rather lovely and they seem to have put everything in that.
