PFunny, I've #617 since August. That has never changed.
RWhen my calculations are correct for the monstertech table mount + virpil joystick + 200mm extension + Rhino I have to replace the long aluminum profile with a much longer one?
Or is the rhino not supported with any table mounts?

Fyou can buy a baseplate for the rhino from monstertech so I'd imagine it is supported.
looks like people are using long profiles that are supported directly with the floor. and the table needs to be sturdy etc.

Wasn't quite expecting that yet

RHINO #0315 Has Shipped!
PQuestion re: thrustmaster grips. I understand I'd need to use an extension to mount them off center. Am I correct in my understanding that the 50mm virpil extension won't help with this, because of the design of its plug?
WYou could rotate it on the Rhino side of the connection
WI'm quite confident some people here use the VPC extensions with TM grips on the Rhino.
PHm. I'll have to look at my Rhino to understand -- what do you mean be rotate it on the Rhino side? The 50mm extension is a hard plug rather than a cable
PI also have virpil's 75mm extension that has a soft plug. Main concern is if I buy the hornet grip, the 75mm extension will likely make it so tall that it'll bonk the control panel in front of me

PWorth every penny tbh
BQuite the christmas surprise, initial guesstimates suggested maybe January 2025 
Thanks to all the drop offs I guess 
Thanks to all the drop offs I guess PCongrats, you're going to love it. It's a massive upgrade.
BClosest personal comparrison I have would be playing Starlancer 20 years ago on a sidewinder, I expect this to at least rattle less on my desk
HYes, unscrew and rotate it on the Rhino.
PInteresting, I didn't know that was possible. Thank you!!

SI'm extremely excited to see my order request email today after 7 months of anticipation! Is a throw limiter recommended when using a 200mm extension? What angle? I'll be mounting my Rhino to the floor on a wood block to get the height just right.
MI’d say probably 11 degrees or at least 15. I’ve got mine on a 150mm extension and the 15 is just right for my setup.
BI expect to use one, but I'm unsure of what angle to go for, and since I do actually own a 3d printer I figure I could experiment with making my own.
RDo I need for a floor usage of Rhino any counter weights or base-plate or is it heavy enough?
OHoly! What number were you?!
OWoah… walmis you didn’t have to, but seeing that huge jump in my number is a wonderful Christmas present too!
BThink I started at 496 or something.
OIf it keeps up the way it is... I'm gonna have mine for my birthday next year, I think. That's pretty damn exciting
DMe too!!! Just got my enail as well.
LFix it to a base plate or chair 
's got force
's got force
ASomething like this if you don’t want to get a real mount. Was $30 in wood. doesn’t matter how you mount it. But you’ll at least want something to support the force
MEvery once in a while, your number will jump. That's due to people dropping out of the queue
MNote that the jumps will usually be crazy like this, because the queue only gets updated for dropped orders every month or so
RAh
RThank you
BYeah I started a 496, I think what shipped (paid and got tracking today) was 317.
And I've currently spent 212 days waiting.
I wasn't wrong, it took me longer to get off my butt and clear up my workspace for a kit than a finished unit to ship

RThis looks feasible. Thanks 
DThanks man....appreciate it. Mine ran into a few FedEx delays. It says tomorrow, but it is currently sitting in England right now waiting for a flight. It's Christmas time, so completely understandable. I hope it is tomorrow, but if not I can wait until after Chrismas on Monday. 
SWow, yeah it must have been a big cleanup on the queue. I just went from 478 to 408. This throws my numbers through a loop as I’ve been checking once a week to get an average on how many walmis is cranking out! I guess I won’t have a super long wait left, which is exciting.
DI moved up quite a bit as well in the queue. Kinda threw off my plans a bit...I'd planned to buy myself the new 57" Samsung NeoG9 Ultrawide...but now I'll have to wait until 1Q24 or the wife will get grumpy.
S
, yeah, I was certainly hoping to recover from Christmas a bit. Now I probably only have about a month for that. Not complaining or anything though!
DMine showed up at noon today! When I looked at the tracking I noticed it didn’t leave until the 19th. I went from an unknown delivery date to a “will arrive at noon today”. I am amazed it traveled that far in just 3 days.
HI also moved up in the queue, about the same amount from 359 to 264 with a new serial #. Do you think the AeroFusion Joystick (look up video on YT with same name to see it) FFB that had a pre-order price of £350.00 (back in September) had something to do with it? Though the ebay listing only shows 1 item sold; but maybe more were. Can't find much else about it. It looks like about 25-30 are made each month. However it used to be about 20 were made a month, so the pace has picked up over time for sure.
MDoes anyone have any documents with stick forces for the p-47?
MIs there a reference for stick forces of dcs planes at all?
Moop, found it with more google
