walmis•11/27/23, 6:58 AM

The adapter as-is will not work, unless VKB has an adapter for legacy bases. Or do you mean if the Mk4 black box will work with the existing adapter?

Sundown•11/27/23, 7:34 AM

I’m not exactly sure how the mk4 and the new black box work with (or don’t work with) the Rhino. I’m thinking about ordering a mk4 grip and black box and was wondering what is needed to get it to work with the Rhino, or if there’s hope for adapters to make it work (I own the original mk3 to rhino adapter).

walmis•11/27/23, 7:37 AM

Once I'm able to get my hands on a Mk4 extension, I'll might be able to tell more. VKB doesn't even stock them yet afaik.

walmis•11/27/23, 7:37 AM

There's this, but I need the new connector on both ends.

Stick Extension Kit for Gunfighter Mk.IV

What’s a good way to reduce the vibrations putout by the rhino? I tried a piston plane in dcs for the first time this evening and needless to say the downstairs neighbors were noooot impressed by the rhino..

Sundown•11/27/23, 7:58 AM

Ah, would you need an extension and a grip? By the way, I think the description

Extension Kit for Gunfighter Mk.IV

Meant for customers who wish to upgrade their existing Gunfighter Mk.III Tabletop variants with a grip extender."

is wrong. It probably didn't get updated to Mk.IV in the copy-and-paste. As far as I know it's a Mk.IV grip to Mk.IV base extension.

Also, where does the black box go in the VKB Grip-to-Rhino chain?

Boggy•11/27/23, 8:44 AM

So I saw here that curves are a no-no for the Rhino. Is there another way to add a curve/adjust sensitive for small deflections?

Fierce_Fire•11/27/23, 9:31 AM

Isn't there a curve setting inside the vpforce app? I'm not sure as I still have to toy around with the settings

Polack-1•11/27/23, 9:51 AM

@plehmann you could also try DevReorder probably, to do effectively the same, but I haven't tried that. I use HidHide to just hide the simpit from all these primitive games that will pick up pedals or other axis and just use those as if it's a gamepad.

A lot of the big games have very lazy and thoughtless control implementations and it creates problems... But I'm not going to unplug stuff, forget that.

Dedlike•11/27/23, 11:46 AM

anyone here know if there is an easy way to shift the center position of the stick? lets say i want the center to be further forward, is the only way to do that messing with the callibration so it thinks that my new center is "true" center or is there a other way?

Dedlike•11/27/23, 11:47 AM

(im trying to do something similar as in the F15 where forward travel is alot less than backwards travel on the stick)

TWP•11/27/23, 12:11 PM

How well does it work as a "standard" stick, in games that don't support force feedback? How does it compare to virpil or winwing bases when used in such a way?

MashedPotato•11/27/23, 2:27 PM

The easist way to do this (and the way I have it setup) is to put a 50%ish limit on forward travel of the stick, save that as a profile, and then use telemffb to load that profile when you're in the F-15E.

blave549•11/27/23, 7:36 PM

I've had the TMW, VPC CM2 and CM3 bases in the past. IMO the Rhino is the best-feeling base of all of them, even when not using FFB. And note that you can turn on "Hardware Force Trim" in the configurator app, which will let you use the trim hat to physically move the stick around. That has no reliance on any FFB telemetry; it's all done in the Magick Rhino Box

ionutned•11/27/23, 7:42 PM

did anyone ever get a virus warning for the telemffb executable?

Fierce_Fire•11/27/23, 7:43 PM

yes

ionutned•11/27/23, 7:45 PM

so, is it a virus attached?

Number481•11/27/23, 7:53 PM

its been discussed ad nauseum here on the discord. Windows defender has a hardon for anything compiled with pyinstaller since it is a common way people write malware and deliver it as exe's. In most cases when defender flags a build as malicious, simply changing one character in one line of code and re-compiling it makes it pass. Most people, including myself, simply add an exception to Defender for the folder where TelemFFB is installed.

ionutned•11/27/23, 7:54 PM

I didn't get it with defender, but ok, I'll add it to the exceptions

ionutned•11/27/23, 7:54 PM

mechsicko•11/27/23, 9:15 PM

You should be able to set center wherever you want and can also customize a restrictor plate to have hard stops at your preferred limits. It's not uncommon for aircraft have less travel forward than aft on sticks due to the panel/limits of human reach

The EU site is usually a bit slower to pick up on new products as they rely on local stock mostly delivered by ship. The NA site has the grip conversion kits (replacement twist modules) for sale already but not the base conversion kit which would have the female part of the connector.

(according to my spreadsheet which could be completely off the mark)

Average waiting time from preorder to shipped is *211 days

Fr4Ged•11/29/23, 4:55 PM

does your spreadsheet account for ~50% of people not ordering when they are able to?

Bob Bushman•11/29/23, 4:59 PM

I assume that average is on the units currently shipped and the time since pre-ordered, the length of that cue blew up as some word of mouth really got out in May and after.
I base myself on, granted, a rough and rapidly changing guess.
Based on how many units shipped since sometime in may and the amount of units left before me.
Even if I was going to hit the 210 mark, I am at day 188 now, production would have to increase with about 4 units a week.

Could it be done, maybe, but I'd rather see Walmis have work life balance.

Bob Bushman•11/29/23, 5:01 PM

Ive moved up almost a hundred units, but it's been very stable since this summer so I guess those ahead of me are for now still in it for the long haul.
could that change, absolutely. When I update my sheet it would when it does happen

Fr4Ged•11/29/23, 5:03 PM

I see. the average is steadily but slowly rising.
sadge. I have 380 units before mine. next autumn would be cool.

Bob Bushman•11/29/23, 5:03 PM

Think my first estimates was early q1 2026 so it is at least shrinking
