VHey @naamanf,
So the last Shipped RHINO is #0044 on 2023-02-01
Average waiting time from preorder to shipped is 117 days, median is 116 days, max is 196 days
41 Rhinos are shipped in total

DI only have 241 more to go! 
Pbe there before you know it m8 
Pit's well worth the wait!
DBy then I should have the Brunner dialed in
Pwhat Brunner you got?
DCLS-E and the pedals
Pis that the stick or yoke?
Dstick
Phow are the pedals? what's the peak force on them & do they need plugings to run?
DI really like the pedals, not sure on peak force but I don't find it lacking. It does need the Brunner software to adjust all the settings and link the FFB.
Palso what are they like with force trim in heli's
PDCS
DPerfect, I don't have any force on them in helis, they just stay where I put them. Fly helicopters IRL and they do what I want.
DDon't really want any trim on pedals since you are constantly adjusting to keep in trim, haven't actually tried them with a helicopter and autopilot.
Phmm nice, I really want pedals & a yoke, but I think I might go the route of a VPforce kit & some MFG crosswinds & maybe butcher a old logitech yoke or my honeycomb if I get brave enough! lol
PI've wondered that with irl heli's, do the anti torque pedals trim like the stick does? like in Huey in dcs you force trim stick & it stays in new spot, do the pedals do that too?
DYes pedals should stay where you put them. I'm not sure, but I doubt UH-1s had force trim on the pedals.
DJust looked in the -10, they did have pedal force trim.
T@walmis, I am interested in a 2x86BLF03 kit but I see on the order form they are backordered. Any idea when more kits will be in stock? If I put in a request now would I be invoiced now or when they are ready to ship?
W86BLF03 are expected to arrive in early march according to supplier. So if you put your order now, I'll invoice you when I'm ready to ship.
JHey @walmis, I have a couple of questions regarding the 86BLF04 motor kits, as I am currently in the planning and feasibility phase of a DIY build:
1.) In all datasheets I found online the 86BLF04 motor is the weakest of the 86BLF0x line. Strongest to weakest (rated torque, peak torque [Nm]) 86BLF0: 7 (2.1, 6.3), 6 (1.8, 5.4), 1 (1.4, 4.2), 2 (1.05, 3.2), 3 (0.7, 2.1), 4 (0.35, 1.05). Could you maybe clarify what is actually correct?
2.) Do the 86BLF0x come with the same anti-cogging calibration of the Rhino motors?
3.) Again referring to the datasheets I found, the 86BLF0x motors have a rated voltage of 48V. Is this difference mirrored in the architecture of the control boards in comparison to the standard 24V in the Rhino motors?
4.) How far to peak current/torque would you recommend driving the 86BLF04 (as per your specifications)?
5.) What power supply layout would you recommend/would be necessary for 3 motors (stick and pedals), and should the rated amps of the power supply be sufficient to sustain all 3 motors at their peak current?
P.S. I love you Walmis!

WHey @ju_caesar , looks like different manufacturers rate them differently, I've attached the specs.
- Yes, definitely. It's even more important, since these larger motors are practically unusable without anticogging.
- The rated voltage is only applicable at the rated speed. For FFB applications the max voltage reaches only a couple of Volts but at a very high current. Larger rated voltage = lower KV = more torque
The most interesting parameter is Nm per Amp (Nm/A). - The VPforce controller does up to 30A.
- I think the Meanwell LRS-350-24 PSU would be a great choice.
- Thanks, love you too!
JThanks a lot!
WSo, possibly a silly question.
Is it possible to hot-swap grips while running DCS with this. I.e. I want to swap an F18 grip and like Vipril grip or a F16 grip.

PWalmis or someone else might be able to answer better how the RHINO itself will handle the hotswap of grips, I can't imagine anything being wrong with doing that, but I do know DCS does support hotswapping of gear unlike IL2 & MSFS2020 from my experience
WI mean I'm running like 5 different stick bases RN. I'd love to consolidate that down to 1 or 2
PThe RHINO will be the only base you ever need m8
WI mean, only if I can hot-swap the grips
PUnless you want to have dual side sticks for space sim etc.
WI will have the FSSB for the viper, but otherwise a hotswappable FSSB setup for other planes would be ideal
WYeah I hot swap the grips no problem.
Ais it possible to create buttons from axis ranges, like we can do with the virpil configurator? on my alpha grip I like to map some additional buttons on the thumbstick
WVP Alpha thumbstick has axis to buttons implemented

VHey @warwolf09,
So the last Shipped RHINO is #0040 on 2023-02-09
Average waiting time from preorder to shipped is 120 days, median is 118 days, max is 209 days
42 Rhinos are shipped in total

SI do not see how to implement this in VP force configurator. Yes I know I can do it in virpil software but that requires the virpil base.
WIt's implicitly enabled
WBinds to a hat
Sthank you
Alooks like 40 shipped out of order?
Bwhat happened top the bot? i got from 37 to go bumped to 41
Ai think it's cause the bot announced an out of order shipment
Aand that may have bugged how it reported the numbers? or it was always bugged, and now it's corrected
