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:

Sand a little window pops up 'DCS telemetry waiting for data'
SI get into the apache and it then becomes filled with statistics and firing the gun shows
Seffect start 10
Seffect stop 10
SHow do I make the gun shake the stick more?How do I add the effect for weaapon (hellfire, rocket) release?

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

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.
Awear & tear is a good point, though, and if you're worried about that the only option is to just wait and see when the first units start to wear down
PWell I'm at #25 so I'll let you know in a few years 
JThis, Mr. Walmis, Sir, is the fucking hottest shit ever. I'm so blown away. All just out of the box settings and am totally totally amazed.
SI have mine rotated 180 degrees so the stick is closer to my crotch (giggity). So when flying helis, my arm can rest on my knee (like it should in real life to allow fingertip control of the stick). BTW, what is that screen setup in front of you? Did you print that? And make a controller from a pro micro arduino?
BHave people had good experiences adding flightstick extensions to the Rhino? I was planning to add the 200mm VPC one (along with the VFX grip) to give me a more realistic F-14 setup. I’m a bit worried that it’s going to be shaking all over the place once I hit the buffet but I guess I can adjust this in the VPForce configurator.
AThat’s smart, I’ve been thinking about how far away the stick will stop from me when trimmed far forward
RIm going to add a 35cm curved extension to mine
SWithout an extension the stick ends up as far from the mounting point as a virpil with an extension. So then you have to put the rhino close to the floor
DI have this in my possetion, has someone here tried to adapt a real helicopter grip to his base? (Rhino or not)
D

NHow tall is this unit?
D
MWeird looking ceiling lamp :p
MOh now I see, it's for an Australian helicopter
Pdepending on the weight of your grip that's going to be a lot of leverage, I have the VKB MCGU on the 200mm curved extension & I don't think you'd want to go any higher with the same sort of weight.
RI'll be using a virpil alpha.

PWith the vkb 200mm extension the RHINO feels really nice still, with the less heavy KG12 grip on it's definitely a noticeable difference in feel but I can adjust this in the VPforce settings, I use the grips in different planes too so the settings are different.
R44cm from top to bottim
RI only fly helicopters.
Rwalmis said it would be ok
PIf you can wire the buttons, HAT's, switches to one of Walmis's shift registers then it should talk to the RHINO base fine
PHave you decided where you'll mount the RHINO? it's a fair bit larger than other bases, you may only need a 200mm extension if the RHINO end up higher when it's mounted
