The install feature I like, but for a permanent set up the travel reduction plates are the best option. Easy to print or can be ordered. I’m not sure if you’re changing the InStockApp number based on the profile you’re using.

I would agree. I printed 20 degree limiters out of TPU for my base.

ReedOP•7/22/23, 11:49 AM

I’m using a 12° limiter right now essentially cutting the deflection in half and it’s perfect reply helicopters. I have no idea what jets airplanes need but having that hard stop without worrying about reverberation using the endstop function feels really good.

AndyHill•7/22/23, 11:49 AM

the physical throw limiters are highly recommended

Aiva•7/23/23, 9:32 AM

What is this "case" on the left and right?

Bob Bushman•7/23/23, 9:34 AM

You mean the belt and gear covers?

walmis•7/23/23, 9:46 AM

It's a DIY project by @recoilfx

Aiva•7/23/23, 10:42 AM

Tha case is different and (seems) metallic.

Jehly•7/24/23, 12:04 PM

Those covers are something else! I like to think if we needed it then they would have come on it, but still rad!

Bob Bushman•7/24/23, 12:50 PM

If you happen to own a printer I'd consider it given, but I absolutely see why its not a necessary default.
Could easily be another 5-6 hours printing and for making 500 finished units, that's an additional 2500 hours or so of printing.

Naudiz•7/24/23, 9:21 PM

Are they all printed? Looks like metal to me, but maybe not

MashedPotato•7/24/23, 10:05 PM

The frame may be low polished metal. The covers definitely look either printed or molded plastic though. There's not enough shine for it to be anything but matte, and it doesn't look like matte paint

recoilfx•7/25/23, 12:10 AM

The gimbal and outter casing are mostly printed in PLA. There are some internal critical parts that are metal (bearing, axels, hubs, and etc), but the rest are printed, sanded, primed, and spray painted.

PiNKSH!T•7/25/23, 8:05 AM

Hey ppl, just wondering anyone that's installed the throw limiter from VPforce how are you installing it? Does it just go under the current 'limiter' that has the lether boot on?

walmis•7/25/23, 8:18 AM

Yeah, you unscrew that and slide the limiter under it, then screw the leather holder frame back on.

Might be a different doc for kits, but it should be in under the faq channel.

ReedOP•7/25/23, 7:07 PM

Is there anyway to tighten up the center of the rhino without needing to increase the spring effects? Currently my pot is 100%, the effects tab is 60%, using DCS FFB tele. It would be nice to have the ability to tighten up center movement of the cyclic.

walmis•7/25/23, 7:09 PM

The only way is to tune the spring mapping, something like:

AndyHill•7/25/23, 7:10 PM

I did some testing with actual center detents and it was kind of halfway successful, but came with some adventures

ReedOP•7/25/23, 7:12 PM

Ok will try

ReedOP•7/25/23, 7:12 PM

What did you finally decide worked for you?

AndyHill•7/25/23, 7:15 PM

AndyHill•7/25/23, 7:17 PM

and that was a very good and clear answer indeed, but actually caused by me flipping over a wireless keyboard not knowing that it was already on

AndyHill•7/25/23, 7:17 PM

anyway I wouldn't say that anything really worked for me very well

AndyHill•7/25/23, 7:18 PM

if you make that raised section on the curve really really tight you basically get detents, but there is a notable deadzone in the middle and there's a tendency for the stick to oscillate

AndyHill•7/25/23, 7:19 PM

if you totally screw things up and reverse the directions with rather high gains, you might end up with the w-f champion of the world

AndyHill•7/25/23, 7:20 PM

even better if you're sitting at your desk and forget that apply actually apparently instantly applies the setting to the stick in your pit

AndyHill•7/25/23, 7:21 PM

the reason I tested detents was because some planes actually apparently have them and if I showed people it was possible, they would have to start using detents or not be true hardcore

AndyHill•7/25/23, 7:23 PM

I guess the point in detents is that on some plane types you want really precise stick movements rather than smoothness across the movement area and detents help you isolate elevator and aileron axis (for example when you're in alt hold and don't want to mess with elevator while changing heading)

Wwalmis @b99487 Here's the Drawing for the MT mount

blave549•7/26/23, 5:31 PM

That drawing shows the plate thickness to be 4mm. My MT adapter plate for my Virpil CM3 stick base is 6mm. Is 4mm enough to firmly hold the Rhino in place? At about 11.5 lbs, I think it's a lot heavier than the CM3.

walmis•7/26/23, 6:43 PM

Yeah it's plenty, Rhino also has an 8mm MDF baseplate

Cuda•7/26/23, 7:53 PM

@walmis I fear I'm having the same issue here. For a little background I had a WW adapter that the pins got bent on that came with my VP Rhino delivery so I ordered a new one, however, despite ensuring good contact and proper pin seating I'm unable to detect any input from WW F16/EX Grip in Rhino config tool

My Setup:
Rhino -> Virpil Z-Extension -> WW Adapter -> F16EX Grip

What I have tried:

Rhino -> Thrustmaster WH Joystick Grip

Rhino -> Virpil Z-Extension -> Thrustmaster WH Joystick Grip

WW Orion 2 Base -> WW F16EX Grip

Rhino -> Virpil Z-Extension -> WW Adapter -> F16EX Grip

Rhino -> WW Adapter -> F16EX Grip

At this point I know the Z-Extension works because it worked with my Warthog Joystick, but nothing I plug into the WW adapter seems to work despite the grip working it's own WW Orion 2 Base

PPhantom do I need to change to that, then power off, close program, restart etc before t...

Spanner•7/27/23, 3:01 AM

@walmis i have this exact view and it just says the following when i set the grip type to debug... do you know what should i do?

papiplanes•7/27/23, 3:51 AM

I had a similar issue, but when I started up DCS I saw the binds working. Ensure you have the proper grip type in VP Config tool, and test the changes in dcs. For some reason windows game control window did not see the buttons on the F-16EX

walmis•7/27/23, 4:26 AM

Looks like Rhino is able to read the adapter, the other end didn't mate properly. I've found you might need to push the 6 pin WW connector harder into the adapter socket.

Spanner•7/27/23, 4:43 AM

I tried really hard but no dice… I have a WW base with me and it does work

Spanner•7/27/23, 4:43 AM

Anything else comes to mind? I tried to take it apart but wasn’t successful

walmis•7/27/23, 4:48 AM

D'oh, I'll probably mail you a new one

Spanner•7/27/23, 5:10 AM

If there’s anything I can do so that you don’t have to mail me a new one I’d like to try that… but if not, I’d appreciate a replacement

walmis•7/27/23, 5:32 AM

There's a hack you could try, but that involves a soldering iron

Let me know if you want to try.

Cuda•7/27/23, 5:34 AM

I'm willing to try if the alternative is mailing it back and waiting for another again
