Rhino will work with diy grips, use a shift register. Walmis might even sell them not sure on that though
TYeah 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 (?).
EThank 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.
Swalmis sells a nice little shift register board, no arduino needed
PI though he sold them
EAwesome! Thanks guys!
Pno worries m8
TThe 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

VHey @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

T@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
BIt will tell your number and how many are ahead of you.
BOnce you sign into the queue that is.
JYou 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.
BThe 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.

DTo 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.
TJust 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.
JYeah I was like 120 something originally and got in the mid 90s for my actual unit
TYeah 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.
BBeing 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.

BI was #496, currently #423
BAnd that's falloff, not from units delivered, actual units ahead of me is 236 atm.
JSave a bit each month and should be gucci
AI filled out a google form to get on the waitlist for a base and I haven't heard back. Who can I reach out to to learn more about the waitlist?

Fyou won't until it's ready to ship.
MAnyone know if the TM warthog works? I understand it fits virpl bases.
Myes, all the buttons work just fine
HYou 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.

MHey guys, does anyone know if ffb with the rhino works with Prepar3d? Also xplane and fs2020z
DYes, though I'm not sure how well it works in Prepar since I don't use it.
SInvoice paid, can't wait to get this baby home ! 
HJust 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?

SWhen 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

faqSAhhh ok thank you must have missed that
S468 rhinos to go lol
Mhey 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.
MReal aircrafts give 40lbs at 9 gs and I am just trying to get as close to that as I can.
FHello using ah-64 with adaptativo center the stick got very stiff and some time moves to another position when trimming, Does anyone have experiment this behavior too?
WI 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.
WIt also becomes very unforgiving on the design and any small slop becomes amplified. I also find the motors aren't great at holding centre so can feel a little "loose".
WThis design gave me about 8.3:1 with the 4.2Nm motors. I found there was a point where the extra torque gained wasn't worth the disadvantages, at least for me.
Mhow many lbs of force with that design?
Mthat design looks very clean and nice btw
WThanks. I think about 35Nm. I've put a luggage scale on the handle and I think it was about 14kg of force for full deflection.
WThats about 400mm above the pivot point.
