BI did not purchase the Virpil z-extension as it does not apply to me
KYea 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?
BThe seat is just amazing! really amazing.
KAwesome. I have the same one on order in cordura fabric. (My cat would have a field day with the synthetic leather)
BI really like the one piece custom made Cyclic from [BSD]Reed, The whole setup looks amazing
KAgreed! I'd pay for that extension in a heart beat
BI 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.
BKnight 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!!

KYea 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.
KThe z-extension works well for that
BKnight I do understand
BKnight, Oh I see.
RWhat is the plate metal the rhino is above? Look is like it’s attacked by right angle adapters ?
KJust a floor pan for my gt Omega prime aluminum profile rig

The GT Omega Prime Floor Plate is a simple yet practical upgrade for any aluminium profile rig. This sturdy and spacious footrest is easy to install and gives you an elegant solution for both protecting your floors and improving your sim racing experience with a more ergonomic resting position.
DThis is what I am going to try to attach the Rhino to... I am now thinking it will not be able to fully support it...

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

JIn 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.

JYou 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
Idk if all the cables you need come with the blackbox
JThe VKB adapter has the cabling to connect to the black box as if it were the gunfighter base
Jso if you need something else to connect the black box to pc you would have to get that too
Swish i could see what the box uses to connect to the pc, might be able to use my retiring Super Libra base to connect
JIf you do go VKB route VKB has something Virpil doesn't

Jshows here
Slooks like USB, i'll have to followup with them
LYes it's just a regular A-B type USB cable
RIs the rhino making contact with that at all? My plan is to do something similar and just mount the rhino to the floor play unless I can find a better way to mount to my rig.
RIt looks like I’ll have plenty of options for mounting just finding the one that will work the best for my solution
KYea it's basically resting on it. I've got some fabric between the plate and the rhino base to stop any rattle
ROk
DDont forget the SP/PN has no depress, all that means is switching between Sparrow and Phoenix
D*no switching
Jwhich one of those?
DThe vkb
JAh rip
DHeatblur fucked up and didn’t inform them
DOr so I am told
JInteresting
JI'm seriously considering upgrading from my MCG Pro to an Ultimate later this year, and I am very keen on the upcoming AH-64 collective from Virpil
SOoof, puts the VIRPIL in the lead for sure, then
DAs long as your not too worried about the physical model
D- shape
SJust watched a review video.
It's missing the depress for SW for swapping which sidewinder is qued. It does have the SP/PN push button
