AThose authentikits look kind of interesting but what's wrong with them, prices for stuffs in double digits doesn't sound like 2020's
POh boy, my number is 10 away now. Can hardly believe it.
TThis looks great! Did you model this yourself? Walmis had mentioned to me in a previous post that with a shift register + an Arduino as an SPI slave you can have both digital and analog inputs to the Rhino/VPForce board. I’m currently in the R&D phase on that but not very far yet.
KCan the rhino be put the other way around? Base Buttons facing forward.. To t get the grip as close as possible.
WYes, definitely
KThks, took some time.
KHope to buy the kit soon so I can finish the build. I'll look into SPI SLAVE ARDUINO
MLearn to Solder then 
all the 3D print files are free 
and you can use their bill of materials as a DIY starter for 10

RNo need to solder that. Just need to make an adapter for the arm itself. Plug the Komodo grip’s plug into the Komodo base to use it only for buttons and use the rhino for the cyclic axis.
R@andyhill Authentikit is cheap because it’s a kit. You 3d print the big bits, then put em together with hardware and discrete components like hall sensor 3 pins and tact switches.
RTheir hall sensor “unit” is quite slick and easy to put together. And since you get the file, you can design around it easily for whatever you like.
It is kinda chunky though. So it can’t go IN a grip.

S@walmis I just wanted to say, every time I boot up dcs, it feels like the first time (in a really good way) with the rhino 
SIt's makes flying helos so damn easy, that I was able to easily kill a hind on enigma server, in a huey
DHinds are easy to kill, especially with AI gunners 
SSo, 297 - 59 = a long way to go...

Sy'all should put your build # into your username here
AHave you guys heard of the game controller builders' strike in Lithuania?
AIt's expected to last four years
SI figured the AI would be dumb and only engage ground targets, good to know 
DHow recently did you put your order in?
SEnd of January
BI got 129 to go
Bis there a wait list for the motor kits?
Pfrom what I've seen Walmis can send out motor kits within a few days.
PHey Walmis could we maybe get a link pinned or added somewhere to the Telem app? Just for new owners to find it.
WHey, sure

WIt's the good ol' STM32F103
WYes, like PiNKMuD noted, kits are ready in no time
J- Does the VPforce controller do 30 amps total or per motor, and does it take the amps straight from the psu (so also limited by the psu maximum)?
WIt's per motor, total current drawn from PSU will vary depending on input voltage. But it's about 100-120W per motor at maximum.
KDoes anybody here currenty have the "VPC Flightstick Z-Extension" attatched?
KTo the Rhino (or virpil base)
LWhy are you asking?
KI got the answer I was looking for by another friend that has it
Kwondered how far down it went at max pull
KAnyone know the resolution of the Rhino?
F
KThank you. I didn't think to search. I should have went to bed hours ago and I'm neck deep in to Rhino videos, measuring how it will fit my rig and all 
K12 bit is good, just as good as what I have now
HHas anyone tried the rhino with Condor 2 at all?
Also what's the method to get this working on msfs...

MHaven’t flown condor in ages but already know rhino works fine with it cause it uses standard directinput just like normal store bought ff sticks.
P!stats
VHey @xupicor,
So the last Shipped RHINO is #0059 on 2023-03-02
Average waiting time from preorder to shipped is 140 days, median is 177 days, max is 209 days
56 Rhinos are shipped in total

PNot sure about Condor 2 but for MSFS2020 I just use XPForce software it works well enough, until Walmis makes a msfs telem app like the dcs one . Trim moves the stick you get AoA & stall buffeting & other general effects.

MMy MSFFII works without XPForce quite well in Condor and Condor2, they've always had great native FF implementation. Never hooked anything to the rudder axis but there's a checkbox for it in the menu. Now if only they weren't such curmudgeons about supporting VR and didn't disable AA in the graphics >_>
If anyone is on the fence about XPForce for MSFS it also works quite well.. like good enough I forget that extra layer is even there since you start the sim by launching that app.

DI must be the only one that doesn’t like xpforce in msfs2020 with the rhino. Some of the effects are fine, but if I pitch up, I get large forces pitching me up even more. Same for pitching down. I tried lowering some of the settings but it didn’t fix things. These forces aren’t realistic imo. As for condor 2 and DCS, I love the native ffb support and everything works great without xpforce or any other 3rd party software.
WYou can tweak those forces using "Constant Force" slider in VPforce.
Those forces simulate moving the control surfaces into the air stream, so if you have high AoA, your pitch neutral force would be somewhat back. XPforce tries to simulate that, but the strength of that effect might be off.
