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

SJust disappointing there isn't a metal tomcat grip. Love my winwing F-18 grip
JIsn't the F-14, but Virpil do have an F-4 grip (which wasn't the only aircraft to use it)

NI’ll give an absolute S++ rating for the MCGU, best grip I’ve owned by so much that it isn’t even funny
NOnly trouble I’ve had is that on an extension, it’s heavy enough to actually cause some problems with centering on the VKB base
NI doubt that would be of any concern at all on the Rhino
JAt least 1 Rhino Owner is using the MCGU+200mm
NYeah I mean even the springs on the VKB base handle it fine, you just have to be at the top end of what they recommend
JI still need to get an extension for my MCGP, I'd save some $50-60+ on shipping by getting MCGU in same order vs getting them separately
Dah seems I got the wrong depress switch, don't have one in hand to check atm
PVKB BlackBox uses the same cable as printers do going to the PC. I think it's called USB-B. All the cables needed should come included in the VKB BB, as Jon stated above the VPforce VKB adapter comes with the cables to go to the BB, then the USB-B from BB to PC.

RHINO #0102 Has Shipped!

JThat's not correct. Phoenix Sparrow depress works. The depress missing is for SW station changing. It is kind of easy DIY fixable. Done it, but have yet to use it
SI'm most likely going to purchase the VKB F-14 grip thanks to your inputs!
SAppreciate the feedback!

It has become something of a holy grail for PC combat flight sim enthusiasts. An authentic and highly detailed recreation of the air battles fought in the Pacific during World War II. Not since Pac…
AInnnteresting!
JI've already requested FFB support. VR is confirmed.
Ajust need to crowd fund a rhino for jason and we'll be set
WCan vouch for this. It's what I use and love it. But it is quite tall.
Jwait til walmis potentially works his magic with the MFG Crosswinds so we can have proper rudder feedback too
MIn the market for a better home cockpit setup myself and was wondering the same. A review I saw mentioned the center mount didn't go low enough to use an extension with their non-ffb stick.
DYeah, I got the wrong switch in my mind, what diy did you end up doing?
DMy only issue with this is that it waters down the player base
Jwdym?
JDo you mean splits the playerbase of existing games?
DYeah
JAs a predominantly offline/single player flight simmer so far, I'm really looking forward to it, especially if they can offer a dynamic campaign of some sort.
In regards to player bases, I think its up to existing games/communities to retain player count. If DCS WW2 for example wants to keep people interested, ED should finally release the tools necessary to do a better job of running servers.
Any new game will always have a lot of people at launch very interested in checking it out. It takes a long time to build up communities for retaining player count. DCS WW2/IL2 Great Battles MP communities weren't built overnight, and I doubt they'll disappear overnight either.
Really just depends on how good of a job the devs do with Combat Pilot and how multiplayer works. So far it sounds like they're definitely open to discussion with the community, so in a perfect world ideal scenario is community gets access to all tools they'd ever need to properly run servers.

Janother potential big factor, is groups that used to run servers in either game, and them potentially expressing interest in running servers in Combat Pilot.
So even without a 'loss' to existing communities or player bases, we could potentially see a solid community server established in Combat Pilot, if it gives players who are burned out on what is currently available something fresh and exciting to dip their toes into.
