Curiousity is getting the better of me… homeland security letter?
Curiousity is getting the better of me… homeland security letter?
JYep, four page of bureaucratic BS from FexEx as an agent of the US government., including a form with Homeland Security letterhead on it with and officials DHS signature. Just creepy that the US government needs to involve itself into international free markets that are not affected by embargoes or sanctions and more pointedly video game hardware.
JAgreed this is creepy. Friends don't let friends vote Democrat.
MAhh yea the democrats who famously started dhs and the patriot act and the rest of the far right garbage that came with it.
JFar left garbage. The far left in the US wants to drag us into the enslavement of socialism and the far right wants to throw us into anarchy. True democracy is in the middle. Which is nowhere near the position of our politicians.
MYour fucking delusional but this isn’t the place for your chud propaganda and Fox News talking points

J@thoatse I worked for the government for 27 years, paid 7% to a union pension that remains 100% funded and grants a COLA based on CPI-W every year, I also paid 7% toward Social Security which teeters on bankruptcy due to politicians raiding the accounts to buy whatever votes will keep them in office. I don't want the US government tracking my video game peripheral purchases and certainly don't want them handling anything as complex as retirement or medical insurance.
JFox News is far right, as stated I am moderate or in the middle.
JNothing gets people together like arguing on the internet.

ACool story chump
ANo one asked for your incoherent political ranting, take it to Newsmax or wherever
JMaybe just stop responding to it? Let the conversation die instead of continuing and/or making it worse?
POh no someone has a different opinion! Quick get offended & start using insults like a child 
ASeriously, keep your domestic politics at home. Nobody wants to hear it. We're all here for the FFB.
NWell I didn’t really expect that escalation 
UAt least it is in the General channel
PUnless among friends on a private server it's best to treat Discord like any other social forum & avoid topics of war, religion & politics, as stated above, we're all here in this discord for FFB, if a comment is made about any of these topics it's best if we don't respond in the future.
RSpeaking of force feedback, I’ve been looking through the manual and once my new extension cable arrives I’m gonna add the rhino to the pit. Is anyone done an actual tutorial on setting up the rhino, the software and the telemetry software? Also, what will be the best way to keep my key bindings for least have an easier way to refine everything? Lastly, I have never done anything with python. Should I be digging in on how to use it or just use what’s in the manual?
NI have none of the answers but at this point you absolutely have to share how it ends up looking in your cockpit
RHow did I miss this response? Lol. Thanks homie.
JAll cuz I asked if there was an import fee haha sorry lol
NSmh you should have know
NMI ordered my kit to the us, there were no one import or other extra fees and no government agencies involved whatsoever
JMy package is currently in Kolen DE with FedEx, will give feedback on what my shipping experience is once it hits stateside
Pnothing gets 'moderates' riled up but a fear of unknown.
JI just like knowing of extra costs up front whenever I can as it helps me live around my monthly paycheck 
Janybody have a thrustmaster hotas stick base and calipers that feels like grabbing a quick measurement for me?

MI don't have any with the connector in them anymore but it's 6.00mm from the top lip to the floor the connector mounts on. Same dimension on Warthog and Cougar.
JI ended up with 4.25mm from top of threads to top of the connector. Seems to engage well and the thread still bottoms out as intended
MSeems a reasonable distance, the connector probably adds something between 1 and 1.75
WThere's a mechanical drawing pdf that has the mounting points defined in faq
JMy Rhino arrives tomorrow
only 4 day shipping

DHappy Mother’s Day guys! Looking for examples if anyone has mounted a Rhino to a DOFReality H6/P6.
KYou sure that's what you want? I didn't think porn was allowed on this server.
JTo be fair, it would only be joystick porn. And I mean, who doesn't like a good looking joystick you can touch and shake, and that isn't just limp but also moves with force?
DI am still waiting on a Virpil base to arrive.
KI get 5.0mm from top of threads to the top of the metal plate surrounding the DIN connector.
Jfantastic! thanks! guessing and checking got me within .75 mm. Thanks for your help
