I'm actually below a 12 month wait now, by about a day 😛
I'm actually below a 12 month wait now, by about a day 
B(according to my spreadsheet which could be completely off the mark)
PAverage waiting time from preorder to shipped is *211 days
BYeah, definitely gonna need to update my regression model with these new data points!
P
Fdoes your spreadsheet account for ~50% of people not ordering when they are able to?
BI 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.

BIve 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

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

BThink my first estimates was early q1 2026 so it is at least shrinking
TThat's 3 more than yesterday. My regression model says that tomorrow 8 rhinos will be shipped, then 11 and so on. The queue should be clear in a few weeks. But I don't know what happens then, maybe walmis will start sending them to random people for free...
FIt seems like helicopters, (at least, apache in dcs) apply a shaking effect when transitioning from hover to forward flight. Anybody have an idea wether this is intentional or no and how I could disable it?
TAerodynamic effect called translation. Look it up, all whirly birds do it.
Iany configuration recommendation for the apache?

RHINO #0274 Has Shipped!
NYes, it is intentional as part of the "Effective Translational Lift" effect, as Kiwi said. If you want to adjust the intensity or onset characteristics, look at the following in the config for the Apache (or any other aircraft)
Note that all of the default effect settings are based on the Rhino with the periodic effects slider in VPf Configurator set at %50

IMy Rhino arrives today, I have a Virpil stick, is it just plug and play? Can I use extensions?
WYeah, all Virpil stuff is plug and play
IThanks, Do I need to setup anything in DCS? check a box or something?
WMake sure the Force Feedback is checked in DCS misc settings
WOther in depth stuff you can find in the manual

IWill do , thanks
PIf flying helis in dcs don't get tricked by the setting called something like "No springs & force feedback" it's for no springs & no force feedback, it's got a few ppl so far, needs to be renamed
IThanks, not helicopters, just warbirds
PThe wait wasn't nearly as long as I thought is was going to be!
I'm really excited to try it when it arrives

IWith regards of extensions, is it ok to use them with the Rhino?
FYes, but Ive heard 200mm is pushing it due to the strength
L@walmis
Hi Wallis ,With the Thrustmaster joys it’s good too with your VPforce ?

W@walmis is production speeding up? Looks like you guys have been kicking out a lot of units lately, that’s awesome.
DI've just set up my Rhino on my DOF Reality H6 motion platform, and I needed an extension to bring it nearer without making it too much taller. Nothing seemed to fit the bill so I contacted Q4Rigs who 3D print them, and I'd previously bought one from them for my Virpil and I liked the quality. I sent them an email and they promptly printed a "special" for me, with a 50mm rearward extension and a 108mm lift. It arrived today and I've just fitted it and it's perfect for my setup.
This may look like a blatant plug, but I have no connection with them, other than being a twice satisfied customer

BHave been eyeing a system of theirs for swapping throttles.
MI can second their great service. Asked them for a custom setup on a not-theirs discord, had the product in hand less than a week later, including UK-US shipping
DI have a simpler quick change system on my motion platform, I have steel plates either side and in front of the seat, and all of my throttles, gearlevers, and joysticks have powerful neodym magnets underneath. I just drop them in place, and the magnetism is just strong enough to hold them firmly, yet easily removable when fully twisted sideways. Here's the underneath of the Rhino with the magnets fitted through the existing four corner holes. I also reinforced the base with a 6mm plywood base plate. The corners are otheriwse a bit vulnerable because of the "dovetail" slots where they interlock with the sides.
Jyes, but coming from the virpil mongoos cm2 base with the 200mm extension, I found that it was way too tall. Plus the range of motion of the Rhino is much bigger than the cm2, so I added the 15/15 physical limiter plates. I ended up going with the virpil z-extension and the height of that combined with the Rhino is pretty close to the cm2 and 200mm extension, plus the extension moved the grip closer to me.
IWhere do I get the limiter 15/15 plates? I find the range of motion too much on the Rhino

Tso how long does it usually take to hear from walmis about a slot number? i filled out the form november 1st for a rhino?
BPm the bot with "!info your email".
Toh jesus 
ok
okT#798... ill be waiting a bit
FWow. That is 150 more reservations in two months.
VEverybody is gearing up for the F-4E. Which deserves/needs a Rhino!
RI'm sitting in low 900's. F-4e is going to be great.
V RHINO #0278 Has Shipped!
SYikes and i thought my 450 were bad
BMy brain just cant make friends with the apache trim it just doesnt work for me.
More precisely, the dcs implementation of that trim.
(And most dcs helicopters in general)
And knowing I'm on the list for a rhino, I'll probably just watch tv til it comes
