Sorry man, I made my own custom Virpil extension. It’s not the rhino one. I CNC’d it from metal.

MI think I confused you about that.
Sput in my preorder for a rhino see ya guys in a year 
FAh yeah thats where it probably comes from. All good in the end though, thanks for the info you gave
MI don’t use it, if you are interested you can have it
FUnfortunately 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
FI think Ill be able to use my schools' workshop to thread a tube, should be able to get things done that way
FThough on the other hand, what would the cost be for shipping to the NL?
FCause I should be able to use it to mount the vkb adapter
SAnyone 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? 
BYou 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.

PHi, 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?

It could take a few days before you get assigned a number.

SI love the metal feeling from the TM Grip - don't like plastic
Ghi guys, how long is the wait for the motors?
BI 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.
FI'm using the Rhino with the TM warthog stick and a 50mm extension to be able to angle it. It's perfect.

Phey 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.
SWhich extension you are using? I haven’t been able to find 5cm extension which could be angled.
WHi, there's no waiting time, I usually ship within 24hrs after invoice is paid*
*for 57BLF03 motors, for large motors it depends if I have them in stock, otherwise lead-time is roughly 10 days

RHINO #0219 Has Shipped!
FI bought Virpil's 50mm and 75mm extensions for testing. I am using the 50mm tube with the 75mm cable. It is able to fit in there. It was tricky to make it fit but doable.
V:package: RHINO #0220 Has Shipped!
RHINO #0220 Has Shipped!SThanks, never thought about that option. I bought the 7,5cm extension but I feel that is a bit too long.
N@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… 
HHi, 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
SOut of curiosity What are the target profiles good for? I never used target - I Have setup everything directly in DCS with my TM Stick
JI also don't use Target. I use joystick gremlin if I want to change how my Cougar MFDs behave
JI 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
Gthanks for the feedback!
FExactly. With the 5cm extension the Y axis throw is perfect. Then I limit the X axis throw to 70% and it works great.

SOne question. Would it in theor ne possible to Put the MCG GRIP on a virpil Base (until its m fuen with the force feedback Base)

WYeah, you can put a VKB GF grip on a Virpil using VPforce VKB adapter
SAwesome
SHow much is the Adapter ahipped to Germany please?
MHave any of you mounted the Rhino to an Openwheeler setup? Finally got to put in my order and am now realizing I should figure out how I'm going to mount the thing
Hthe 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.
MYes, kind of scuffed/need to spend more time getting it right.
MBasically 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
MOk. 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?
MNo, mine has a custom bottom plate that has holes to match the TMWH throttle
MEven if you drop the post, it's gonna sit pretty high, given how tall the rhino is
MI was considering trying to mount directly to the part that goes out to the pedals, but there is a spot for a screw that sticks out there
MAlso behold my impressive DIY skills. The mockup does sit very high and I need to cut out more of the seat to make sure the gears don't get messed with
MThe gears should just barely clear if you mount the front gear towards the front of your pit. I'll try to remember to grab a pic of how mine looks mounted on the bar when I get home from work and post it. That screw was definitely an issue, iirc, I shimmed around it while cursing it's existence
