@walmisHow many total orders do you have now and what are you up to now on deliveries? I am trying to decide if I should order one and if I will live long enough to receive it...This is not a dig or a joke...I am a 63 yr old man in poor health and there is no guarantee that I will live long enough to get one even if I order now.

If you would like to have one soonish I'd suggest looking into diy'ing or having someone do that for you, lead time is around 8 months to a year iirc

Fierce_Fire•9/9/23, 8:53 PM

Walmis can send you a pcb and motors and you'll have to figure out the psu and gimbal, there are a few examples in #

showcase

TonyZ2525OP•9/9/23, 8:56 PM

@fierce_fireI am aware of this but I do not have access to tools needed to DIY it. I live in an urban Apt. with no access to tools or workshop but thanks for the suggestion. Unless I can find someone to do the hardware then I might consider a diy motor kit but can't do the work myself.

Fierce_Fire•9/9/23, 8:57 PM

I also dont have any cnc equipment or anything but I believe some shops might be able to machine/lasercut parts for you and all you'd need to do is assemble it

TonyZ2525OP•9/9/23, 8:59 PM

Thanks again...Maybe someone out there can give me more details on having that work done with ordering details...I have seen the many designs that people are making and like most of them.

PiNKSH!T•9/10/23, 11:53 AM

Rhino will work with diy grips, use a shift register. Walmis might even sell them not sure on that though

ToreDL87•9/10/23, 2:19 PM

Yeah only issue, from what I saw on the "Honey" thread over on DCS forums, is that an adapter made out of weak material might result in higher (than wanted) deflection (?).

Thank you for getting back to this topic. I am still in the reading/watching tutorials process but as far as i understand i could use a arduino micro inside the stick and connect that to a 5 pin mini din (i might be awefully wrong here though). I'll have a look into shift registers now.

The good thing is that you don't pay until you're a few weeks from delivery, so you can sign up now and decide later

Hey @jc523,
So the last Shipped RHINO is #0187 on 2023-09-08
Average waiting time from preorder to shipped is 203 days, median is 216 days, max is 292 days
185 Rhinos are shipped in total

TonyZ2525OP•9/11/23, 12:43 PM

@jc523 I am familiar with this bot but it does NOT tell me the total number of orders so far....I would rather make my own estimates rather than rely on the bots estimate....thx anyway

Bob Bushman•9/11/23, 1:07 PM

It will tell your number and how many are ahead of you.

Bob Bushman•9/11/23, 1:07 PM

Jehly•9/11/23, 1:52 PM

You could just put yourself in line. I jumped a few spaces because those that got in before me, one way or another, did not have their orders filled. It’s been said the average per month is about 24. So, when you put your name down, take your assigned S/N, subtract the number the bot says it’s currently on, divide that by 24, that’s how many months you’ll likely have to wait.

Bob Bushman•9/11/23, 2:04 PM

The bot simply tells you how many are left before you, and updates as units ship and others drop off.

Simply ping the bot and divide the remaining number with a guesstimate of units delivered monthly.

DrQuinn•9/11/23, 2:44 PM

To give an idea of how many people drop once it's time to actually pay, my order number was 315, origianal SN given was 285. I am now paid and 4 units away with SN 191.

ToreDL87•9/11/23, 2:45 PM

Just paid mine but got invoice 3 days ago, was "8.25" months for me, my original number was pretty high as well but 100-150 people somehow didn't want one anymore so now I'm SN 188.

Jon (Bounty_V)•9/11/23, 2:47 PM

Yeah I was like 120 something originally and got in the mid 90s for my actual unit

ToreDL87•9/11/23, 2:48 PM

Yeah only 8 months'ish of waiting, I've waited a whole lot longer for a whole lot less, the MSFFB2 kept me in the loop just fine for years anyway.

Bob Bushman•9/11/23, 3:36 PM

Being able to afford it when time comes is certainly a concern for me.

But my thinking is worst case this thing is so special I'll scalp it to a local flightsimmer if I really need the money.

Bob Bushman•9/11/23, 3:37 PM

I was #496, currently #423

Bob Bushman•9/11/23, 3:39 PM

And that's falloff, not from units delivered, actual units ahead of me is 236 atm.

Jon (Bounty_V)•9/11/23, 3:56 PM

highvision•9/12/23, 5:21 AM

You should have gotten an email from Google Forms labeled "VPforce RHINO Preorder", look inside that to see the form you filled out. Then maybe in 18hrs or so you can check the VPforceBot and type in "!info my.email@gmail.com" etc to see the response, it will show your order number reservation date and serial number assigned. You will be contacted I believe when yours is close to being built, i.e. pay for it, and confirm shipping info I'm guessing.

Hey guys, does anyone know if ffb with the rhino works with Prepar3d? Also xplane and fs2020z

Yes, though I'm not sure how well it works in Prepar since I don't use it.

Hazzer111•9/12/23, 5:10 PM

Just had a quick go in DCS with a bit of a bodged setup for the mount till all my parts arrive (hopefully tomorrow).

Had a little fly in the P51 as that has always been a favorite of mine when flying in DCS with the MSFFB2. It felt good, but different. I have a couple of daft questions. With the sidewinder, the force (or spring gain I suppose in the rhino settings) was a fixed variable in that it never really needed changing. Whereas with the Rhino and the gain at 100, it appears to be too strong to an unrealistic level! Can any of the rhino owners relate to what I'm saying and I'm keen to know what settings are being used to give that feeling.

I'm slightly confused and mesmerised with all the settings as to how I can get a realistic feeling setup. Will I need to keep changing settings depending on the sim and the aircraft as well?

sherman229•9/12/23, 10:17 PM

When you put in to get on the list do you get a email or something to tell you what spot you are? i put in like a week or two ago and i haven't heard anything

hey guys, I have a extension pvc pipe and a metal real aircraft joystick. With the CLS-E theres basically no force. How much more will the rhino give me? also once I get mine can i put the more powerful motors in it or are they too big.

I personally gave up on trying to achieve "real world" forces. Perhaps not important to everyone, but once geared up, I lost the ability to fly helis, as the static force became too great.
