Jif u dont see a brand new message from the bot here saying x order shipped, ur status aint gonna change
Jyour lead time is probably a year; if you're bored you can look back at each month to see how many shipped per month
MHonestly, I'm getting old and dont know how much time I have left so I'd totally buy out someone's spot in line for a reasonable fee.
BHi Knight, I have just installed my Butt Kicker Gamer Plus to my Mosntertech Helicopter Cockpit Simulator. Take a look as to how I installed mine and you and other members may have some ideas of their own.
Vit seems the Strike Eagle will surprisingly have ffb support
Vfrom the GR preview video
AI'm beginning to think that someone at ED may already have received a Rhino or other compensation
AI thought of doing some stress testing with the 16, since that thing can pull of pretty impressive sustained turn performance in a dogfight
AFor some reason the elevator axis on it feels lighter than the aileron axis, though, which would reduce the stress significantly
AI mean
AIt’s not like FFB didn’t exist before the Rhino
YYou would almost think it didn't with some of the sims support though
YHell, MS made one but doesn't have native support in their sim!?
AYeah I mean
AEven DCS is barebones
AHoping we’ll see some change
MWhen I mounted my BK Mini (same exciter as Gamer) like this I could barely feel it. It was weak af till I used the side flange on an 'amplification arm' to mimick how it works on the Gamer2. I've seen people use a 15/16 impact socket bolted to a t-slot to mount the Gamer2 to, which would also work for the one you have. Without having any ability to move (ie hard mounted to the frame by its bottom flange) it reduced the impact almost to nothing. I eventually upgraded to a Clark TST209 and it's way more powerful even off the same 100w amp I have
NI would expect that if some of the big players in the peripherals space picked up FFB to a meaningful extent
NAt least WinWing did produce a more consumer-level force sensing stick recently, so I guess they aren’t stagnant or anything
SBack in the days when DCS P-51 was developed ED’s lead engineer ”YoYo” mentioned in some interview that MSFFB2 is the stick that he uses and if my memory serves correctly also recommends flying DCS with. So ED should be very well aware of FFB benefits. At least if YoYo still works there. My understanding is that this is the reason why DCS FFB implementation is quite good to begin with but it is developed with much weaker FFB sticks in mind.
PI have been trying to whip up support from the DCS crew for years, encouraging them to implement the same standard across all their aircraft, and supply a good library for 3rd parties, as you said, some are quite good, and others are sadly dire, it has however always fallen on deaf ears sadly.
ADo you think side flange to an extrusion at the lower back of the seat would work? Or would one need a separate extrusion sticking out from that to make a lever arm?

MPutting it on it's own angle like dude did would be slightly stronger as it increases the moment arm of movement and adds a 'flex zone' but even just using a socket as s post directly on the t-slot to utilize the off-axis mount would be much stronger than using the base flange

BGuess they're taking this "Rhino" thing too far
JThat's where my package went too but no such reasons were given and it passed on through without issue
SThey think you're getting Rhino horn!
WLol. Guess they didn't bother to check the HS code. I'll send them an email.
SRazbam hasn't added ffb support before. Harrier for instance still does not have a ffb profile
JGuessing the Mig-19 doesn't have FFB either then
NDoesn’t the Mirage have compatibility with the whole elastic limit thing?
DWell, the buttons are connected to the blackbox, and that is connected to PC, this has nothing to do with VPForce RHINO
DBest to speak with other VKB folks on the hotas or vkb discord to troubleshoot
DFirst I would check is number of peripherals connected, IL-2 can spit the dummy if the list of devices is too long or messed up
DIf the buttons are being registed in the VKB software, then its likely IL-2 issue as mentioned above (list of devices)
KBe aware that il2 can only register 8 devices. If you have more than that (also a connected gamepad or so) check the il2 forum. There is a software to ban certain devices for il2.
Jcan also use joystick gremlin to merge or split devices as necessary
Ipretty surprising... mine will shake the whole damn house just about.
II'll sell you mine for 5k usd... 
I seriously think that's would I would have to have to give mine up and wait for another one. It's such a game changer.

MThanks for the response. I'll consider and let you know what I decide. Where would you be shipping from?
IIndiana
MI'm up in British Columbia.
M39hr drive
MCheaper to ship, lol
IYeah I’d think so. Lol
TWell, it is a real beast of a controller…

RWhat are your settings are using for helicopters, spring dampening, balance, constant force, etc. etc.
ISure. Next time I jump on I’ll take pics of the settings. Granted they are rather stock and I’m not using an extention. So your results may vary.
