Have to thank monster tech tho, makes Rhino lead times feel short

Knight59OP•5/17/23, 4:00 PM

No joke - been waiting since December for my MPS and paid in full back then

Jon (Bounty_V)•5/17/23, 4:01 PM

I still need to order some parts from MonsterTech so I can mount flight sim gear to my new cockpit. Won't be able to place an order until July, so probably August or later to first use my Rhino

Knight59OP•5/17/23, 4:06 PM

Plan for December

Knight59OP•5/17/23, 4:06 PM

Lol

man... I couldn't wait that long.. I'd be at the hardware store figuring out what I could glue/screw/weld together to get that puppy installed...

I didn't want to wait for how long it would take to get the laser cut / bent parts for the virpil desk mount adapter I designed, so I went to my garage and started cutting scrap wood

WhereNoLarkFlew•5/17/23, 5:07 PM

How long are the wait times for this thing?

BB9 This is my Current VPC Cyclic

What chair is that?

Jon (Bounty_V)•5/17/23, 5:11 PM

Looks like the MPS from MonsterTech, with an Andre's Jetpad or similar on top

B9•5/17/23, 5:12 PM

If you are referring to my image it is the Mosntertech Helicopter Pilot Seat

I'm looking for seat that doesn't go up all the way, like a bench seat. So my VR isn't catching on the back headrest

I just ordered VPC Constellation ALPHA Prime [R] Image plus VPC SharKa-50 Collective Grip, Plus the three VPC extensions.

Hey m8, just wondering what games/sims you use the HF8 with? Have they made the plugin for dcs yet? Can you use it with the software so it just reads the telem from a sim & not need their plugin or via the audio jack, the same software the andre's jet seat use? Cheers m8, nice set up too

I Just ordered the VPforce 'RHINO' Force Feedback Base

RReed What cyclic extension is that

Knight59OP•5/17/23, 5:35 PM

Virpil z-extension attached to their 100 mm straight extension.

B9•5/17/23, 5:36 PM

I did not purchase the Virpil z-extension as it does not apply to me

Knight59OP•5/17/23, 5:37 PM

Yea only needed if you don't have a center cutout. Really wish my MPS was here!! Lol. You're lucky B9. Enjoying that seat? Comfortable?

B9•5/17/23, 5:37 PM

The seat is just amazing! really amazing.

Knight59OP•5/17/23, 5:38 PM

Awesome. I have the same one on order in cordura fabric. (My cat would have a field day with the synthetic leather)

Knight59OP•5/17/23, 5:42 PM

Agreed! I'd pay for that extension in a heart beat

B9•5/17/23, 5:46 PM

I would purchase that extension from him as well. Once my VPforce 'RHINO' Force Feedback Base arrives and is setup on Monstertech Helicopter Cockpit I would take my measurements and send it to him to make me one.

B9•5/17/23, 5:51 PM

Knight you did all the work for me in mounting my VPforce 'RHINO' Force Feedback Base when it arrives. WOW you really did an amazing job in mounting it to Helicopter Cockpit. WOW really nice work!!

B9•5/17/23, 5:53 PM

Knight59OP•5/17/23, 5:57 PM

Yea I have that 200mm curved extension as well. I like it but without the seat cutout I still couldn't get it close enough for comfort/ergonomics.

Knight59OP•5/17/23, 5:57 PM

The z-extension works well for that

B9•5/17/23, 5:57 PM

Knight I do understand

B9•5/17/23, 5:58 PM

Knight, Oh I see.

What is the plate metal the rhino is above? Look is like it’s attacked by right angle adapters ?

Gents, my serno is coming up, and i'd like to get a Tomcat grip for my RHINO. Any thoughts on the VKB vs VIRPIL?

Jon (Bounty_V)•5/17/23, 8:51 PM

Vkb is 1:1 based directly on heatblur tomcat, Virpil is its own thing.
Vkb would require an adapter + black box from vkb gunfighter base, virpil will work natively

If you already own a vkb stick that isn't nxt vkb could be a viable choice. Otherwise I'd go virpil less hassle and cheaper

Jon (Bounty_V)•5/17/23, 8:54 PM

In addition to being directly based on the Heatblur Tomcat, VKB's is also what one would consider 'officially licensed', to the extent if you own the Tomcat module, you should have a discount code for the VKB Tomcat grip, (like 10-15% off iirc) somewhere. Idk if that promo is still valid.

SScotia This, and a gunfighter base? https://www.vkbcontrollers.com/products/blackbox-mk...

Jon (Bounty_V)•5/17/23, 8:57 PM

You need that black box + the Rhino VKB adapter to use the VKB grips on the Rhino

Idk if all the cables you need come with the blackbox

Jon (Bounty_V)•5/17/23, 8:58 PM

The VKB adapter has the cabling to connect to the black box as if it were the gunfighter base

Jon (Bounty_V)•5/17/23, 8:58 PM

so if you need something else to connect the black box to pc you would have to get that too

Here's how it sits today, until the arrival of my MPS seat...
