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.

Sthere should be a little jingle that plays like at hospitals when a baby is born

BI think I have like 130 to go, lol
Booof, 160ish
RAnyone 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..
WI think F-14 trim is forward by nature of the aircraft
RYeah. 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..

R...which makes it feel a bit weird in VR.
WYeah, I guess there is a need to have a VPforce profile per module of DCS
WI have an idea to autoswitch profiles based on the DCS telemetry in my development roadmap
RJust looking at the real F14 stick.. it looks as though the grip is not collinear to the the lower stick shaft (if that makes sense?) So the behaviour is correct in DCS, however stick position is based off the main lower shaft. The grip appears to be angled rearward ~10 degrees to compensate for the forward stick position..
I wonder, without having to make an adapter to mimic the stick position, if there is a way to compensate through software?

WYeah, you can adjust the center position with axis calibration tool
RWill have a play with that. Obviously with that solution there will be a loss of range of motion in one direction..
Perhaps a physical angled adapter might be the only perfect solution.

Wah yes, you are correct 
R(Unless Heatblur changed the ffb stick position to be based off the grip position)
WProbably would be a good idea to add "center position" to the endstops feature
RThat would be handy.
RJust made a request in the DCS F14 forum.. 
M
MPrototype way to make physical end stops for extensions
MSo the range of motion isn't so huge
MI don't mind a simulated end stop for when I push the stick forward
MBut it's nice to feel an actual stop for side to side
MYeah I've just got in he habit of making different profiles with different max y values in the axis setup for different modules

Pthis maybe not applicable to your issue, but just in case, in all WWII fighters if you add a 'curve' to the pitch axis then DCS FFB moves the FFB spring center forward and it no longer matches the stick center
