Anyone able to get ground effect working for the F/A-18? I've enable constant force but still not feeling anything during ground roll..
AIs there a standard button mapping for the Hotas Warthog? In the default 'generic' settings the button mapping is not the same as the Warthog. So I would have to adjust the mapping or rewrite all my patterns in DCS for the stick.
WIt should be the same, the bit layout is not changed what is read from the grip.
WUnless TM base changes the layout
AExample on the Warthog Base Trigger 2nd detent is button A. On the Rhino Board another button is recognized. So I can't use a copy of the stick configuration because the assignment of the buttons doesn't fit. I am currently on the road and can only provide you with exact details this evening.
V:package: RHINO #0039 Has Shipped!
WI'll take a look

LLol what about rhino 40?
WPending 
TFor real! I'm curious @walmis, are you setting up parallel lines of production or just really speeding up the time on which you can get one unit made?
WI have some guys helping me out
TThats great! I'm excited to see production ramping up
WYeah, I'm thrilled too. Things are going quite quickly!
AOh ow
AGuess I’d better scrounge up that €800 sooner than I’d thought 
Aany suggestions on DCS modules that have good forces or things to try out in msfs?
WF-14 is best I believe for DCS , for MSFS XPforce is quite decent, pretty cool to fly in windy turbulent conditions
AI've been digging into xpforce recently, I'm wondering if there are specific planes that work well with it
JOh boy, oh boy, oh boy, I got promoted to a red tag. What might this be all about 
Ayou must have done something really bad considering the company you are in now
JD'oh 
SWoah that's a lot of shipping! At this rate, I might as well hold off on playing more DCS until the rhino comes in 
TFirst, I want to mention that I finally got to try out my Rhino, and DAMN am I impressed. Seriously Walmis, you have created an awesome machine with all the software options I hoped for and many more I don't even understand yet...
TSecond, a question. I am very unhappy with my Thrustmaster F-18 grip and thinking about getting one from WinWing. Any update on WW grip support?
TPS- My reason for using the Rhino for the F-18 is the ability to adjust the total travel when using an extension and adjust "spring tension". I bought the Rhino for WWII birds and helicopters, but I love it so much I pretty much intend to use it for all aircraft just with proper settings for each to reflect the real aircraft as closely as possible.
WWCurrently tested with WW F-16EX, hoping it will work with F-18 grip too, but it's firmware can be updated for F-18 grip support if needed.
JFor those of us that are already in line we don't have to order again for new parts right, just square it all up once time to pay?
WOnce your turn arrives, I'll ask you to fill out the final ordering form (order.vpforce.eu) and you can select the final items you'd like.
JSweet
WHey, try adding this to config.ini, gives pretty nice rolling effect
RAwesome! Will give it a try. Thanks @walmis

JOh I know this sweet number

HThings are coming together
TThanks for the reply Walmis. It will probably be a little while before I order the WW F-18 grip and your adapter. Now that I've started building the new flight sim my credit card balances are quickly getting out of hand!

Now that I've started building the new flight sim my credit card balances are quickly getting out of hand!TJust a thought guys (for now): I was told the following by someone claiming to be an ex A-10C pilot a few years ago, so this is not confirmed 100% true. Anyway I was told that a lot of fly by wire aircraft including the A-10 have a shaker attached to the stick that vibrates the stick to warn you of an impending stall. I think he said that's what the big growth on the stick right below the pinkie paddle houses.
TSo first, can anyone confirm this or even give us more info? And second, is there a practical way for us to add this to the VPForce effects if DCS doesn't already provide it? It didn't seem to work in the F/A-18 but don't trust my setup as I was in a hurry.
AIf he said that the A-10 was fly by wire… I’d be suspicious
T@anthony6743 Possibly he did not, my memory is even more untrustworthy than the average human... by a long shot!
TIt's possible it was the F-18 we were talking about
AYeah fair, sounds reasonable!
TNearly everyone puts too much stock in their memory, it plays tricks on everyone!
TAnyway I know that this info is available via telemetry because SimShaker has a stall effect option. If it's impractical to add this effect to the FFB effects, I might actually install a shaker on the stick extension and use simshaker to run it LOL.
TI'm glad you corrected me on the A-10 fly by wire thing @anthony6743 , that gives me one more reason to add it to my list of cockpits to eventually hopefully build!
MHey all, sry for the simple question. I’ve been reading as much as I can in these threads. I’m looking at ordering a motor kit and building my own. I’ve looked at the few GitHub repos posted (I,e https://github.com/mabo1972/bldc-ffb-joystick-base and https://github.com/farm/bldc-ffb-joystick-base). I have a friend who can machine and print all the pieces in the repos. My question. Is there a good list of all the other parts that are required (power solution, buttons etc)? Any one posted more thorough descriptions that I can simply copy? Forgive me if it’s been posted and I’ve missed it. I’m very new to this.

RThat works great. Does this mean now that the F/A-18C has its own entry in the ini the other effects have to be placed in there too?
I found that to change the intensity for gun I had to place it under the F/A-18C_hornet entry.
