I'm adding FFB yoke to my long list of VPForce projects... sometime after pedals but before collective.
NI’ve eyed my honeycomb alpha more than once wondering if I could hack some motors in there.
NA bit $$ to just start pulling apart and tinkering though!
KI own one... but the case looks too small to even fit the smal motors.
Kmoving to general with an idea.....
KBingo at 3:10 in the intro video he does exactly this... excellent memory.
NWell, I only remember it because I asked him a bunch of questions, which he answered. And then later watched the video and realized it would have answered the questions I had if I had watched it first 
W@walmis is there any way to make the stick looser? Is the neutral dampening compensation at the max at 25% or is there a way to get
WTry playing with negative damping, though increase in small amounts
WOk will try. Thx
AWhen I use the TM F/A-18 grip, buttons 25 through 32 are shown as active. Is this correct? Otherwise everything works as it should.
KI have the Thrustmaster A-10 grip and it doesn't behave that way. Do any of the buttons on your grip not work because of this?
KWhat happens when you change the Grip Type to VPC T-50CM2? What happens when you take the stick off?
WYeah that's normal for some TM grips, but I'll probably need to address this in the future releases
WWorks a little, but hard to make it feel good. Wants to "run away". I'll be using a slightly longer extension, so that will help some. Is there any more adjustment in the system for dampening compensation ? That makes the biggest difference by a large amount.
WMaybe going to a steel extension in stead of aluminium might help also. Although it might impact on smaller vibrations?
Gif i payed 1600-2000 for a unit can i get priority shiping?
Jhe doesnt have such an option available (i assume ur asking "if i pay x amount can i cut in line to the front") but could see if any existing owner is willing to sell or something
idk the outcome but thats what was discussed between a couple of people in the past

OVery nice my Rhino is ready to order, can anyone tell me if I need the MonsterTech mounting plate to secure the base to a flat surface?
RThis using the monster tech mount
KThe base has 4 holes in it. You can use those if you can bolt/screw into your flat surface. Or you can do as @reed showed and use the monstertech plate to secure to some structure of your simpit. I mounted mine on aluminum extrusion via the 4 holes in the base.
KThe faq has this message with a pdf of the mounting dimensions: https://discord.com/channels/965234441511383080/986474224241741884/987268082219253770

ZHi @walmis, thank you for the Rhino. Mounted it on the monstertech with the adapter, very easy, installed the limiters very easy. When attaching the virpil 200mm extension I can't get it properly seated, is there a specific trick to accomplish this? It should be simple but after several tries I believe the treading on the rhino could be worned out after all tries
Z
TPM him perhaps.
ZThanks, I was able to get it in
ZI wonder if that specific piece can be printed
ZThe attachment
GDoes swapping the axis have a negative impact on performance, functionality ffb? I swapped engines, roll motor to pitch, pitch motor to roll.
Nthe Rhino is functionally equivalent on both axis'. You could turn the base 90 degrees and use roll as pitch and pitch as roll like you said. As long as it's bound properly in the sim.
NJust if you need to invert an axis because of the orientation of the base, do it in the base configuration software, not in the sim. Some modules (in DCS) don't respect the in-sim invert axis and the FFB effects would be opposite.
T@walmis - as I have been moving apartments the last two + weeks, don't know whether it was me buying a new 200mm extension from Virpil, or downloading the new firmware, but now I have no errant buttons on my T-50CM2, which is good, but now need to remap DCS, which is not so good. Many thanks.
THave you got the metal tubular extensions? - I made that mistake going straight to the 200mm extension, and then used a tubular extension to bed in the male screw threads, but a little too late. Nonetheless, worth doing if you have them - as always with 3d printing they err on the side of too big...
Jyou shouldn't have to remap. you can just load one of your profiles backups. This is what i did. you can find them

TThe new one is showing different virtual buttons for same physical, this time correctly so will have to do it. No worries, will only take a few and the hardware now doing what it should, which is progress.
KIm assuming everyone knows about JoyPro. Saved me so much time when installing the new stick.

How is it I have never seen this.
Use joystick gremlin for all my control box mapping, but this....I like!
May help preventing the nuking of controls sometimes on DCS update.

STo all the Tomcat Drivers....
I am currently working through setting the Rhino up.
I am struggling with getting trim adjustments to move the stick when trimmed.
I have tried all combinations of turning the "FFB Trim implementation" on in DCS module and the "Force Trim" in VP Config.
I can either trim the ld fashioned way as in the stick does not move but trim adjusts...or...
I cannot adjust trim at all.
I have read through pretty much everything here and I must be missing something.
Thanks in advance....

Hdo you have the force feedback option checked in misc DCS options?
SSure do
Even tried the Trim option in special for the F-14 on and off
I can get buffet shake and those effects, but trim to work and move the stick...no bueno

Hstrange... I had my stick fail to move properly a couple times, but I got it working eventually. Trying to remember if I did anything other than restart DCS.
HYou might check that your trimmer controls are bound properly. If you've got a stick preset applied in VPForce config, sometimes it got reset back to default for me after I made edits in it
Hthe button names were different between the default config and my virpil stick
Hthe buffeting working makes me think the FFB is active but it's not recieving trim commands
Hwhen my FFB wasn't working, no effects worked at all
M@walmis Hi, I have your Rhino base with an 20 cm extension and a VPC Alpha PRIME grip. Now everty time I press one of the 4 way hats I get multiple inputs. In the configurator I seleced the apha grip. I hope somebody finds the step I'm doing wrong.
WCan you show us your settings?
WHi, can you show how it behaves, video/screenshot?
MI will do it when I’m back home on Sunday.
AIs ffb enabled both in DCS and the F-14 settings specifically?
