So does this provide full functionality or only buttons?

DLooking at that chair, with the castors and the front cutout, maybe the simplest solution would be to create a low platform attached to the front of the pedal assembly. That could then be set at the perfect height and leg distance from the pedals, then you just sit in the chair and "roll" up the assembly, so that the stick comes up through the cutout ?
Here's a pic of a setup I had a few years ago for helicopters. It was a G940 FF joystick and collective as a single framework that was all fixed together with the pedals, which I then pushed my chair up to when I'd "climbed aboard".
It also saved any gymnastics getting my leg over the stick too....
You could construct it without any of the framework coming back past the joystick so that it didn't interfere with the chair legs. I had to do it with that setup because of the collective.
I've edited the pic to highlight just the config you would need with your pedals and the Rhino.

WButtons and axes
DGood old 940
DBeen looking to see if I can adjust the firmware so I can use openffb with it...
DI used mine in that nodified state with helicopters in FSX, but sold it on some time ago now.
We're now much more spoilt with Virpil collectives and Rhino FF sticks !

DExcellent!
DMaybe I'll get it while I'm off work next week....
DOf all the HOTAS sets I've owned over the years (and there have been ALOT), the 940 holds a special place in my heart. Was it the best? Not even close. Did it have its problems? Oh my yes. But it was still a lot of fun....I sometimes wish I had not sold it on eBay after I bought the Warthog.
SHow do you guys recommend mounting this sucker? I don't have a dedicated sim pit, so something desk-based would be nice.
SRight now I have a virpl CM3 based joystick, mounted to their long table mount
MFor desk based you can use extrusion style mounting, MTX, Predator, Foxx, homebrew. The Rhino has mounting holes on the base, and at least a couple of those mentioned make plates for it.
Would recommend looking in to a floor based setup though, she thicc, and has a lil kick. You'd need a sturdy desk to not deal with flex

Spersonally i built a box out of 3/4 plywood and filled it with 50lbs of steel shot and mounted mine to the top so i can just pick it out and move it out of the way when I dont need it in front of me
DFor you US guys - curious how long it took to recieve your unit after the bot notified that it shipped?
Sshe thiccAre there listed dimetions somewhere for the base?
BIn the manual
ε²@VPforceBot What is my place in queue?
DI am running a Virpil CM3 as well, I will probably end up selling it.
DAre the mounting holes the same as Virpil, TM, etc?
PHave a look in the faq section
ε²Thanks, I already know I have 707 digits ahead of me
PThat probably means having to wait a little longer...
DFor me it says this:
DWhat does this mean?
WLooks like you missed the ordering notification 
WYou didn't receive DM or email?

DI think I didnt recieve anything by dm and checked email and spam. What email is sending those so I can try searching by email?
Wvp@vpforce.eu
Wif it went to spam it's probably deleted by now

RThank you, there's something to this idea. Note that the cutout is only in the cushion though, not the actual chair. But yes, coupling the stick with the pedals might make sense here.
MCan I ask about the fans? Everything seems to be fine, however, I notice, that especially flying the F14, it does not take long for the fans to kick in and they pretty much stay on if I am manouvering etc. So 2 questions arising, 1) Should I be worried about this and 2) What settings would mean less work for the stick?
MHello, I tried to submit the form to order the DIY FFB kit: 57BLF03 x2 + USB kit. But I cannot pass the field validation of the Phone number, which is start with +44, from UK. Any idea, please help. Thanks Mike
PHave you also tried 0044?
LOh man, I missed my availability email for the VKB adapter. I'm so sorry, and I've made sure to mark the source as "important" lol.
I hope the mk.3 VKB adapters come back in stock, I'm a little worried I missed my chance now the mk.4 released

WMaybe you have a leading space entered in the form? I have entered +44 only and it accepts it.
WYou mean the VKB adapter for Rhino? I only have currently for MK3.
L
that's exactly what I needLThank you so much, excited to fly again
PHow much will the overall height increase through the adapters (WinWing, VKB)?
SJust got my Rhino. Surpassed my expectations by far! Got hit by a hefty bill for import tax but f**k it, it's Christmas!
WNot much, around 2-3 cm
MThanks, I can submit the form once I type in the phone number instead of copy and paste.
