SHow did you find a 80/20 flight sim rig that didnt break the bank? All i can find are racing ones.
SWhat is it that you need? Just finding out how or the cost of it too?

Phi, @walmis , is this related to the "Effect 7" crash in DCS due to unacknowledged USB packet in AMD usb controllers?
PI have a X570 A4 board and DCS does indeed crash when that effect kicks in (damaged bird, shaking). Maybe I'll try a dedicated pci USB board, someone posted here it helps.
WThis is a fix for the fix 
but yeah, since 1.0.13-3 I did workaround the issue with AMD boards.
but yeah, since 1.0.13-3 I did workaround the issue with AMD boards.Pthank you for the fix, so do I need the pcie-usb board for this fix to work? Or the fix is for the actual amd mobo usb controller issue, i.e. it'll work with the built-in mobo controller ?
WNo, it should address the issue on AMD boards
Psweet and awesome! Thank you so much.. this issue has been driving me nuts. Coming back home in a torn up aircraft, leaking/shaking all, only for the game to crash right before the landing..
KI know, many are waiting for their Rhino and impatience is not good for the heart 
but in the average scenario, how many bases do you expect do get out this year..

WWell, I aim at least 100 this year
WThis is accounting any supply issues

F2.3 years to go.
Wassuming exponential growth could be less 
THow do we find out where we are in the queue?

TThanks- 107 to go! More than a year to wait…
LHas anyone here printed the Base in PLA?
Dthat's optimistic
JThis base is printed in PLA, 70% infill, 5 massive bottom and top layer. The screw holes have brass inserts.The gimbal ist printed in PETG. Think its all very solid.
Dflashy
LDid you make the plans for that yourself or are they based on someone else?

JCorrect. Modified some parts of the case for my needs. The gimbal is not modified.
LDo the VIRPIL Sticks work with the USB Kit?
WYes, the USB kit features all the things Rhino supports
CHow is the electrical connection being made? Does the upper gimbal has slots for eg JST-crimp plugs?
WOne end is 5 pin JST-XH, the other is 5pin mini DIN

CSo i need this plug for the connex, correct?
WYep, 6 pin will work, but the center rectangular hole will need to be enlarged a bit
CThanks for info. Seems difficult to find the 5-pol variant here in germany. 4 and 6 easily, 5 pol only seen on 2 us-sites.
WYeah, it's rare outside of china, I source it from AliExpress myself
H@walmis Could I use your board simply to control the motors and x/y axis while connecting my grip to it's original board for button functionality? It would require two boards within the base but I was thinking of using my Virpil base and converting it to accommodate your board and motors for x/y force feedback only.
WHi, I had a similar request, the solution would be to add a passthrough connector on Rhino exterior, then the user can make a passthrough cable as he wishes.
This way it's possible to use the Rhino input functionality, or disable the grip functionality and use the external board.

HThanks. After seeing how long it may take to get the Rhino I was thinking of cancelling my order and getting a motor kit. Can the motor kits still be ordered?

H@walmis Thanks mate. Keep up the great work. I'll think about this a bit longer.
WSure thing!

DAnother happy person
C@walmis Concerning the EmerOff-Switch: If wired directly in line with the PSU it has to withstand some 10A+. Is there an ESO-input into the controller or do you have wired the EmerOff via Relais?
WYeah, that's the worst case current. It averages much lower. The switch is wired in series with the supply positive.
