Works 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.
he 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
The 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.
Hi @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
the 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.
Just 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.
@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.
Have 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...
you shouldn't have to remap. you can just load one of your profiles backups. This is what i did. you can find them C:\Users\USERNAME\Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input
The 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.
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.
To 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....
Sure 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
strange... 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.
You 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
@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.
Vp settings, Hardware Force Trim currently off, but button mapping settings can be seen... These correcspond tothe Virpil VFX hat up, down, left, right
