VHey @.flatspin,
So the last Shipped RHINO is #0041 on 2023-01-27
Average waiting time from preorder to shipped is 112 days, median is 110 days, max is 196 days
38 Rhinos are shipped in total

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!
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!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.

MThe a10c stick shakes if you stall with the flaps fully down
MIt doesn't seem to shake in an accelerated stall
BWhat is the issue with the TM F/A-18 grip? I was thinking about getting one to pair with my Rhino, so would be interested in hearing more about it.
RI have no issue with mine...
WI'll fix this, first it should load the values from [default] section and the update that with specific aircraft data
G
WThat's IRL ? I could implement this in the telemetry app
MNo in dcs
MI have no clue what sticks do in reality, I'm just learning as we go
MIf you've got the a10c just put the flaps out and pull some aoa
MAnd you'll see it shake
WAh, so it's in stock DCS?
MYea
MI didn't think the a10c was modelled in it
MSo when it shook I was surprised
MI was just dicking around with flaps
MHey did you get in touch with the dude who does the m2000?
WDMs are blocked with him, so wasn't able to reach out directly.
MAhhhh dang
MI'm gonna try to pester him to message you 
MStall Warning Stick Shaker.
Stick shaker operation is a function of AOA vane, AOA indicator and interlocks with landing gear position and flaps switch. The mechanical stick shaker is mounted on the control stick just above the protective boot. The stick shaker provides mild agitation of the control stick 4 to 12 knots prior to wing stall in unaccelerated (1g) flight. Note that stick shaker is active only during landing approach configuration (landing gear down or flap switch in full down position).

MApparently what we have modelled is correct!
MI do remember the EAC changed the stick position too once when I pressed it
AJust finished building the plywood version as a prototype in MDF. A few small things I still have to adjust. Will publish the complete BOM then. The SheetMetal version will follow later.
MIts a great grip and has served me well, the Cons
- Its Heavy
- It wobbles (a bit of lego will fix that)
- Unless you have an extension you cant rotate it to the correct position.
I also have the winwing and prefer it over the TM but these are minor niggles really
S@walmis when is the next build of VP configurator coming out?

R@walmis any chance we could change the gun vibration to longitudinal (forward/backward) movement only? At the moment it feels like a diagonal movement. I think forward/backward might be more realistic?
Also stores/bomb drop maybe a lateral movement might be more realistic?

WYeah, it's diagonal right now, you can change the angles here, all are set to 45 now, 0 would be front-back, 90 sideways: https://github.com/walmis/VPforce-TelemFFB/blob/master/aircrafts.py#L130
RGreat! I will have a play 
PMan, the hype is getting to me. I'm squeezing that money like I'm about to throw it walmis' direction any moment now 
RWorks perfect. Only issue with F/A-18 is no weapon release effect coming through. CM and guns working fine.
