Yeah, 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
MForward/backward I can move that post to create more space. But depending on how everything sits I don't want the stick too far forward
MVery interested in seeing how it fits in your setup
MNot the greatest picture, but hopefully that gives an idea
MYeah that helps, thank you!
MDo you mind showing how high the grip sits above the chair like that? Assuming you have the seat lift kit as well
MLittle off angle, because the base wasn't powered, but it's at the perfect height to rest my forearm on my leg

HNow this is exciting! Can’t wait to take this thing for a spin!
SStupid question but how do you guys turn the rhino off? Just pressing the red button? ... And leave the stick hanging loose?
AI just switch off the extension cord and power off most of my pit, including the rhino
SThe buttons should work out of the box for a TM Stick right ?
FYes right out of the box. In the configurator I set the stick as if it was the vpc mongoost-50 so the hats can behave like hats or buttons. Otherwise they just behave like buttons. I let hat 1 (coolie hat) behave like hats and set the other ones as buttons.
SStrange - it doesn't work for me
FPM me if you want and I can show you my configuration
WThat's strange, could it be it's not making full electrical contact 
WTM grips are pretty simple, they should 'just work'
SI will try an reconnect it tomorrow and write in the support - I use a virpil extension
FTry it without the extension first. Maybe the extension cable is faulty.
FThe only reason I set it as vpc mt-50 is so I can use the coolie hat as 8 way hat.
SYes I will try - but it should work I used the same extension and same stick with my mongoose base and everything worked fine

SSorry for the confusion it was not properly connected, now everything works as intended - and the Rhino is wonderful 
WGlad to hear that it's working properly!

Abtw -- do we know if anyone at Heatblur has a Rhino? if not, i would be happy to help contribute to a fund to make sure someone there gets one 
NIDK.. unlikely is my guess.. but c'mon.. FFB is FFB.. sidewinders are a dime a dozen on ebay if your only interested in dev testing 
Aa sidewinder is not at all like a rhino
Aand the things you might do on a lower end device, may not translate well to a rhino
Nin terms of reacting to basic FFB implementation from DCS?
Ain terms of building an FFB experience that matches the jet
Abut it's also one of those top of mind things, by having one, they probably end up using it, and want to ensure it has good support in the modules they build
Ait's all a self perpetuating circle
Nwell, I often see developer responses to queries about FFB fixes and/or implementations as "we don't have a device".. which is more of what the spirit of my response was referring to
