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.
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?
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.
Hello 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?
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.
It 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".
This 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.
Agree, from past experience with race car suspension parts and building motion sims, I purposely steered clear of them for my stick and yoke FFB setups. They do allow a nice compact build though.
not sure I follow exactly the symptom you are describing. Can you elaborate? Does it only happen with adaptive centering enabled? In general, for issues I have seen related to force trim in helicopters.. Make sure you do not have any curves in your axis settings in DCS and make sure your Rhino calibration is accurate in VPf configurator
For the pre-built Rhinos, how long is the lead from the power adapter to the base? What type of power connector is used?
My Rhino shipped today, and I'm trying to determine if I need to mount the power adapter on my motion rig, or if the power lead is long enough to be mounted on my rack below the rig.
Assuming the supplier hasn't changed since mine was shipped in May, the power supply lead is only about 3'. But it is a standard 5.5mx2.5mm DC plug. I am using a 6' extension with a 90 degree end (male side) on mine.
