My Rhino arrives today, I have a Virpil stick, is it just plug and play? Can I use extensions?
My 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

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.

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

IDoes the Rhino made stick forces stiffer when the speed of the airplane increases?
FIt should yes, if you enabled that in the configuration software
IThat was going to be my next question, which setting enables this?
NDCS and IL2 have native FFB implementation which handles all of the dynamic stick forces. That specific functionality however is implemented in most or all of the warbird type aircraft for DCS.
FTelemffb should add it for most aircraft in dcs
FThere might be a strength setting somewhere in the configurator, but I'm unsure which and can't check right now
FIf you hover the mouse over an option it should tell you what each setting does though
NThe "dynamic force with speed" is not part of TelemFFB for DCS.. that is handled %100 by each DCS modules own FFB implementation.
FI stand corrected
IThanks , cant wait to try it, stick forces stiffen a lot with speed in real airplanes, and get mushy at slow speeds near stall.
WHas anyone tried mounting the Rhino to the Monstertech office chair?
AYes, I have it center mounted
AWith a 10cm extension
WAny drawbacks? is 20cm extension too much?
Tare there any beginners guides on how to design a joystick base?
MYeah forces of direct coupled controls load up on the same inverse square parasitic drag does
MPlus friction
Iany of you could share his configuration for the apache, please?
INew to the Rhino , fly a warbird IRL , I like the comparison with the Rhino,so far I am liking just spring for the stick forces.
When I add resistance or stuff it just feels a bit weird.
Still early testing.
Any recommendations on settings for stick forces on warbirds in DCS?
