SYes, it's gonna be worth waiting 
HGotcha! I had checked right after reserving a spot in the queue, but there wasn’t a S/N assigned at that point. Just checked again and it looks like I have #317!
JTheir bearings can wear if there is sufficient force going through the belt. I do however doubt that the Rhino base is near those.

SJust filled out the pre-order form!
Really like your FBB solution, hopefully get it before end of 2023!

Sany hint as to when the VPForce config app will be updated to allow the requested axis division?

AIs there something specific you'd like to see? Mine is kind of hidden inside the pit and I'm terrible at taking pictures, if you just want to see pics of the Rhino Walmis has a lot better ones: https://imgur.com/gallery/Do6Jr0T

-@andyhill I'd like to see the total length of yours
AIt's kind of hard to get a completely accurate measurement since the system is buried pretty deep in stuff, but it's something like 53-54cm
Awith the MCGU and adapter
SYou’re mean
DI definitely want this thing :)
DSeveral questions though:
1) how loud is it? There are several fans for cooling and I guess it's completely fine if it's something like 40mm or 50mm 2000rpm - but would be quite annoying if it's something like 40mm 4000rpm
2) I guess since US shipping is available - no issues with power cords? Asking because EU and US/Japan sockets are different.
3) Any recommendations how to use it if I don't want to build a cockpit? Based on size of this thing - it's definitely not table-top friendly, probably it should either go on some kind of chair mount or maybe floor with grip extender and some kind of heavy base?

P1) I play with a headset on so I haven't heard a single noise from it so far. Walmis might be best to answer the specs about the fans
2) I'm in Australia & got the right plug on my power pack so I'm guessing US would be same?
3) If you wanted to mount this on a chair mount it would need to be a decent mount, the RHINO doesn't weigh a massive amount but it does have some heft. I have mine floor mounted with a 200mm extension. My temporary solution for floor mounting was to get a length of checker plate metal (I had this lying around you could use a sheet of plywood) that goes from under my chair to under my rudder pedals I have the RHINO center mounted & my rudder pedals & chair keep it all in place.

Pany other questions feel free to ask m8
Dwarthog / f/a-18 grips from thrustmaster are supported natively, right?
DThat's great.
Also little bit curious with all that patent troll thing - since this device support direct input ffb - how this question is solved?

PF**k patent trolls
Ddoes this device use existing pcb of some joystick like g940/ms ffb2 or do we simply rely on small amount of production currently?
MPretty sure the patent troll thing was made up in someone's head and repeated online until it became accepted legend. Either way there is no such problem now
MBoard is made for this thank goodness, because it has a bunch of useful stuff combined into a single tiny unit!
M@walmis where does the estop go or does it just interrupt the psu? If it's turning off the psu, do the encoders lose power too? How about the grip/spi?
Someone asked if the axes still track when the motors are powered down and I've wondered since.

Dhm, so it's definitely not existing pcb.
though thinking of it - in any case it's a bit sad news. I believe in any case you can't just copy someone's pcb and number of existing pcb are quite limited, so you can't use that approach to solve troll issue

MI have no idea what that means but there is no patent troll thing and people are free to use DirectInput
Dwell, in that case VKB would build their ffb base long time ago
DI think these assholes even sue people for vibro feedback in controllers
Dyeah, nintendo are actually paying them for the fact that switch vibrates when you use touch screen.......
Dthat is such a bullshit...
Dthough I also heard some news that these patents were expired recently... like this summer or something
