It's actually not as hard as it seems. I was a little daunted also at first.

Pyeah I'm just not sure what it means by; "Open a power shell/CMD window" or how to "Clone the repository to your local machine" & not sure about "Install the required Python packages" so basically all the install instructions on the Github page lol
Wlol, I'll make an executable version soon 
Pthat'd be awesome m8, I'll have to give the install a try tomorrow. Also wanted to say how good it is to see all the support you do for the RHINO, really love what you've done so far & plan on doing in the future!
V:package: RHINO #0044 Has Shipped!
WThanks!
VDamn, I come back after a few weeks and we're from 36 to 44.
VGg.
PWalmis has been pumping them out the last few weeks!
Sopen a command prompt
Stype 'python'
Sif you have python installed you'll get a '>>>' prompt
Sif you dont have python installed, windows will direct you to the microsoft store where you can get it
Safter it is done installing follow the instructions walmis posted in the github
Sactually that reply was for PinkMuD
Poh don't worry I'm reading it 
Sany chance of getting a new build of VPconfigurator with reduction of axis extent activatable by button?
Pok going to try this install
Pwhat do I need Git for? I see it's for downloading the source but do I need that for the install or to run the app?
Por is that just if I want to see the source for testing etc?
WYou can skip Git and download source .zip from github directly
Pis this what I download?
Wyeah
Pok got python installed & that zip downloaded
Mif you have any simshaker gear backup your dcs export.lua in your saved games dcs/scripts folder as it will overwrite it
WIt shouldn't overwrite as it appends an initialization line to an existing export.lua
PNo sim shaker gear but thanks for the heads up m8
SSo I got telemetryFFB script running. The cmd window says:

Sthank you
S@walmis how early before production do you need to be paid. Mine is a good half a year away but would like to know for planning reasons
AFwiw, I only have 4 in front of me and haven’t gotten a bill yet (have filled out a survey for what I want tho)
NCan anyone comment on longevity of this device? I know it’s just released and he made like 45 of them so who knows but I’d be super angry if this breaks down after 1-2 years after paying that kind of cash…. Primarily, I’m worried about 3D printed gimbal. Plastic moving parts tend not last long.
WMonstertech mount plates restock should arrive this week and I will get down to business . I currently practice billing people once I have everything on the shelf.
If anyone wants to pay in advance or in multiple parts, do let me know.

AI’m happy to pay whenever is most convenient for you
D
Same I Can start paying in multiple part even if i'm far from having mineMI have been running mine daily since 7-7-2022 and its in the same condition and as solid as the day it arrived
Athe big question when it comes to longevity is the availability of spare parts
Aone thing rhino has going for it is that it's huuuuuuuuuuuuuge
AI actually didn't take a look inside, but at least there's room for gigantic gimbals in there
Afor example vkb puts comparable amount of resistance through absolutely tiny steel parts
PMy idea is that if I ever have to replace a 3d printed part cause of wear & tear over time, I'll look at getting it printed in something really heavy duty, idk 3d printers but I'm assuming something out there will be in the realm I'd want like the carbonfiber filament & if the external housing is ever damaged or I have some spare $ & feel the inclination I might look at making/getting made one of the sheet metal designed housing for the RHINO. But from what I've seen & felt of my RHINO so far I don't think anything will be breaking anytime soon through normal usage, this thing is very solid feeling.
