thank 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 ?

walmisOP•1/7/23, 4:41 PM

No, it should address the issue on AMD boards

peachmonkey•1/7/23, 4:42 PM

sweet 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..

I 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..

Has anyone here printed the Base in PLA?

Wwalmis Well, I aim at least 100 this year

ddrake1984•1/8/23, 12:46 AM

that's optimistic

Lleninjahd Has anyone here printed the Base in PLA?

JayPi•1/8/23, 7:43 AM

This 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.

Correct. Modified some parts of the case for my needs. The gimbal is not modified.

Do the VIRPIL Sticks work with the USB Kit?

walmisOP•1/8/23, 2:56 PM

Yes, the USB kit features all the things Rhino supports

Wwalmis Yes, the USB kit features all the things Rhino supports

cguenther•1/8/23, 3:40 PM

How is the electrical connection being made? Does the upper gimbal has slots for eg JST-crimp plugs?

walmisOP•1/8/23, 3:43 PM

One end is 5 pin JST-XH, the other is 5pin mini DIN

walmisOP•1/8/23, 3:43 PM

walmisOP•1/8/23, 3:44 PM

cguenther•1/8/23, 3:50 PM

So i need this plug for the connex, correct?

walmisOP•1/8/23, 3:52 PM

Yep, 6 pin will work, but the center rectangular hole will need to be enlarged a bit

cguenther•1/8/23, 4:04 PM

Thanks 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.

walmisOP•1/8/23, 4:09 PM

Yeah, it's rare outside of china, I source it from AliExpress myself

HipoxiK•1/9/23, 8:36 AM

@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.

walmisOP•1/9/23, 8:39 AM

Hi, 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.

@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?

walmisOP•1/9/23, 1:47 PM

Yeah, that's the worst case current. It averages much lower. The switch is wired in series with the supply positive.

Anyone else seem to get alot of forward stick with the DCS F14? As though the stick centre is off? I'm sure its a problem with the module, just wondering if there is a fix I've missed..

walmisOP•1/10/23, 6:45 AM

I think F-14 trim is forward by nature of the aircraft

Wwalmis I think F-14 trim is forward by nature of the aircraft

roller25.•1/10/23, 6:54 AM

Yeah. But I think the stick position is incorrectly modeled, or maybe a case of tuning forward and back throw distances in VPForce...

When the stick ingame is positioned perpendicular to the floor, the actual physical position of the stick is actually way forward..

This is a fix for the fix 😄 but yeah, since 1.0.13-3 I did workaround the issue with AMD boards.
