ok! make a google sheets link, add me to those who can edit and I'll start working on it. It may have typos, errors or simply be bad but at least you'll be able to add comments to fix without taking much of your time

Thanks so much! I suck at writing manuals, but once there's some structure to start from I'll probably get into it

Hey @.flatspin,
So the last Shipped RHINO is #0057 on 2023-02-21
Average waiting time from preorder to shipped is 138 days, median is 156 days, max is 209 days
54 Rhinos are shipped in total

skyPickle•2/22/23, 12:56 AM

I added pics of the VPConfigurator software screens to the document. I started adding descriptive text as well. I do not have nice pics of the hardware and as mine is already installed, it is not really photogenic. It would be nice to have pics of a brand new one (without dust) on a nice wooden table with side lighting. I will wait for feedback before proceeding.

Finally got it mounted in my rig! This thing is a beast. What’s the best way to learn how to use the config software? Is there a quick start guide somewhere?

WWhacker can you hotswap grips while DCS is running?

PiNKSH!T•2/22/23, 2:27 AM

Hey m8, from my understanding both DCS & the RHINO will let you hotswap, IL2 BoX is not so good with hot swapping either is MSFS2020.

PiNKSH!T•2/22/23, 2:36 AM

yep, from my experience DCS has always been fine with disconnecting & reconnecting devices, so you should be able to just turn off the Rhino then swap grips over.

PiNKSH!T•2/22/23, 2:37 AM

you could probably keep the Rhino plugged in, but I'd rather turn it off for the grip swap

this works with WH and Virpil stuff right?

WWhacker this works with WH and Virpil stuff right?

PiNKSH!T•2/22/23, 2:44 AM

yeah from my understanding (I don't own WH or Virpil yet) they will both work, also VKB & Winwing will work with adapters from Walmis too

Whacker•2/22/23, 2:44 AM

awesome

WWhacker awesome

walmisOP•2/22/23, 7:26 AM

So yeah, you can hot-plug grips to Rhino and with a change of button profile you can adapt different grips. You can also change the Rhino device ID and the game will think it's a different device and apply a different button mapping.

Whacker•2/22/23, 11:17 PM

So this can all be done while DCS is running. IDK exactly how the different grips work, but I'm thinking like F16 grip has buttons 1-20 doing whatever and I can map that in DCS. Then can I just pull it off and have the F18 grip on with its own buttons 1-20 mapped to whatever on a different plane? Or would there be more involved?

Also do you support the axis function for virpil grips?

Magpie•2/22/23, 11:45 PM

Axis is fine on virpil

Magpie•2/22/23, 11:45 PM

And there’s axis to button too

Magpie•2/22/23, 11:46 PM

On the thumb controller

Magpie•2/22/23, 11:46 PM

So I can use it for a10 stuff

Khangirey•2/23/23, 3:31 PM

Can someone attest to the IL-2 having an inaccurate FFB implementation? I recall watching a discussion on a Russian channel about this issue.
Essentially, the way that IL-2 simulates loadings on the stick (for springed joysticks), is to require you to pull back more on the physical stick as a way to simulate a stiffening of control surfaces.
When FFB is enabled, this phenomenon persists, leading to an uneven force requirement as you pull back.

AndyHill•2/23/23, 3:42 PM

define Il-2

Khangirey•2/23/23, 3:42 PM

IL-2 BoX

AndyHill•2/23/23, 3:42 PM

Ok I've tried that one

AndyHill•2/23/23, 3:43 PM

Basically what you get is stiffening response as the airflow (speed) increases

AndyHill•2/23/23, 3:43 PM

the effect seems to reach its maximum at a fairly mediocre speeds

Khangirey•2/23/23, 3:43 PM

I mean I understand that, my point is that the way it is coded seems to be set up for springed joysticks

AndyHill•2/23/23, 3:43 PM

I do recall similar thing about requirement for larger stick movements from the original Il-s

AndyHill•2/23/23, 3:43 PM

Khangirey•2/23/23, 3:43 PM

to simulate increased force required to pull back the stick, the game instead has you pull back more (instead of harder, since that is impossible on springed sticks)

Khangirey•2/23/23, 3:44 PM

if that makes sense

Khangirey•2/23/23, 3:44 PM

whereas DCS seems to be accurate

AndyHill•2/23/23, 3:44 PM

I can't say exactly how it works in the BoX, I haven't tested that accurately

AndyHill•2/23/23, 3:45 PM

do note that as far as non-hydraulic surfaces go, rhino is kind of comparable to sticks with springs in that it just can't give you the kind of force that would actually prevent you from pulling all you can get from the stick
