How would I attemt to attach this to something? I believe it has threads on the bottom, I could try to 3d print something that fits. Is there another method that was included or was that a solution by a diy'er? Also, what is the outer diameter of the plastic part? Ive found the dia of the metal one but not the plastic. Or do you have a step file I could use?

If i put myself on the preorder list i can cancel anytime right? Not 100% yet if i wanna spend this much and 1 year would give me a bit time to think about it

Ah yeah thats where it probably comes from. All good in the end though, thanks for the info you gave

Mustang 1-1•10/13/23, 3:34 PM

I don’t use it, if you are interested you can have it

Fierce_FireOP•10/13/23, 3:54 PM

Unfortunately im in EU so shipping would be thing, plus im planning on using the vkb grip since it has the right hats/ministicks I wanna use

Fierce_FireOP•10/13/23, 3:55 PM

I think Ill be able to use my schools' workshop to thread a tube, should be able to get things done that way

Fierce_FireOP•10/13/23, 4:12 PM

Though on the other hand, what would the cost be for shipping to the NL?

Fierce_FireOP•10/13/23, 4:12 PM

Cause I should be able to use it to mount the vkb adapter

Snubblaren•10/14/23, 6:38 AM

Anyone who has tips for grips? Today o have x56 so I would like something with a similar layout. Is the thrustmaster warthog grip a good choice or should I go for something else?

Bob Bushman•10/14/23, 8:58 AM

You can get significant more functionality from a virpil grip for about the same price.
The TM grip I'd only consider good if you want to sim the a10.

Maybe the f16, but that use the one gimbal system the rhino doesn't simulate.

peteg•10/14/23, 12:09 PM

Hi, I filled out the pre-order form on 8/20/23 and I got a confirmation email showing the information that I entered but I didn’t get a pre-order # or anything that looked like an official confirmation. Is there a way that I can confirm if I’m on the list?

blave549•10/15/23, 6:44 PM

I agree. I had an Alpha, and then an Alpha Prime, but sold both and have gone back to the TMW grip on the Rhino. I just don't like the buttons/hats feel on the Virpil grips. The TMW's are more positive; I have a real grip from the 60s and the TMW's controls feel similar, albeit not quite as hard to push. I do miss the additional hats/buttons though.

f14billy•10/16/23, 1:03 AM

I'm using the Rhino with the TM warthog stick and a 50mm extension to be able to angle it. It's perfect.

f14billy•10/16/23, 1:10 AM

PiNKSH!T•10/16/23, 5:09 AM

hey m8, basically anything from VKB, Virpil or Winwing, if you don't care about having the saem grip as the sim aircraft I would go for either the VKB Modern Combat Grip Ultimate or Virpil Mongoose T-50CM2 or the Winwing F-16EX grip.

sydost•10/16/23, 5:50 AM

Which extension you are using? I haven’t been able to find 5cm extension which could be angled.

@geezalbert - I just ordered a set of motors and the control board and it was 7 days in transit to the US after a few days while Walmis was waiting on the motors. Very well packed and arrived in great shape. “Just” need to get them hooked up now…

hcee.•10/16/23, 2:41 PM

Hi, I found this old discussion; is it currently possible to spoof Thrustmaster TARGET to think that it's seeing a TM stick? I'm using Home Fries's TARGET profiles and would be great if those would work with my new diy-VPforce stick

Spatz•10/16/23, 3:37 PM

Out of curiosity What are the target profiles good for? I never used target - I Have setup everything directly in DCS with my TM Stick

Jon (Bounty_V)•10/16/23, 3:38 PM

I also don't use Target. I use joystick gremlin if I want to change how my Cougar MFDs behave

Jon (Bounty_V)•10/16/23, 3:39 PM

I think the ONLY thing I set up in Target was only have 1 light on for one of the MFDs so I always knew which was 1 and which was 2 according to windows

f14billy•10/16/23, 3:53 PM

Exactly. With the 5cm extension the Y axis throw is perfect. Then I limit the X axis throw to 70% and it works great.

Wwalmis I don't really understand what you're asking here 😅

hcee.•10/16/23, 5:12 PM

the main advantage, in my opinion, is that Home Fries has put together comprehensive hotas profiles for nearly each aircraft in DCS, and a GUI tool for configuring them based on the hardware setup I have. It saves a ton of time when I don't have to set up the button combinations / macros myself. The quality and detail of the profiles is undoubtely also much better than what I could do if I started from scratch.

MashedPotato•10/16/23, 10:41 PM

Yes, kind of scuffed/need to spend more time getting it right.

MashedPotato•10/16/23, 10:43 PM

Basically have a customized bottom section that matches the TMWH throttle, rhino is mounted to an OW throttle plate, and I used the little bracket that normally secures the center stick bracket to hard mount the plate to the section that goes out to the rudder pedal plate. Mounting the plate directly to the center stick mount puts it a couple inches too high

moldy•10/16/23, 10:44 PM

Ok. I was thinking I would have to cut the post of the center stick mount to get it to fit. I talked to them about making a mounting plate with holes for the rhino. Did the standard throttle plate they have fit it?

How would I attemt to attach this to something? I believe it has threads on the bottom, I could try
