Quite the christmas surprise, initial guesstimates suggested maybe January 2025

Thanks to all the drop offs I guess

Poor Yurik•12/21/23, 3:17 PM

Congrats, you're going to love it. It's a massive upgrade.

Bob BushmanOP•12/21/23, 3:19 PM

Closest 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

PPoor Yurik Hm. I'll have to look at my Rhino to understand -- what do you mean be rotate it...

HPLsCat•12/21/23, 3:27 PM

Yes, unscrew and rotate it on the Rhino.

Poor Yurik•12/21/23, 3:28 PM

Interesting, I didn't know that was possible. Thank you!!

I'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.

Mustang•12/21/23, 3:52 PM

I’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.

Bob BushmanOP•12/21/23, 3:54 PM

I 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.

Reaktionslos•12/21/23, 4:59 PM

Do I need for a floor usage of Rhino any counter weights or base-plate or is it heavy enough?

Holy! What number were you?!

Ophelia•12/21/23, 5:02 PM

Woah… walmis you didn’t have to, but seeing that huge jump in my number is a wonderful Christmas present too!

Bob BushmanOP•12/21/23, 5:03 PM

Think I started at 496 or something.

Ophelia•12/21/23, 5:41 PM

If it keeps up the way it is... I'm gonna have mine for my birthday next year, I think. That's pretty damn exciting

Something 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

MashedPotato•12/21/23, 9:14 PM

Every once in a while, your number will jump. That's due to people dropping out of the queue

MashedPotato•12/21/23, 9:15 PM

Note that the jumps will usually be crazy like this, because the queue only gets updated for dropped orders every month or so

RationalBot•12/21/23, 9:16 PM

Thank you

Bob BushmanOP•12/21/23, 9:21 PM

Yeah 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

DAPA•12/22/23, 12:42 AM

Thanks 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.

Sir_Diggins•12/22/23, 12:59 AM

Wow, 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.

DAPA•12/22/23, 1:01 AM

I 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.

Sir_Diggins•12/22/23, 1:24 AM

, 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!

DoCBarT•12/22/23, 4:02 AM

Mine 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.

highvision•12/22/23, 8:54 AM

I 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.

Magpie•12/22/23, 10:14 AM

Does anyone have any documents with stick forces for the p-47?

Magpie•12/22/23, 10:14 AM

Is there a reference for stick forces of dcs planes at all?

Magpie•12/22/23, 10:31 AM

oop, found it with more google

superbird1011•12/22/23, 11:16 AM

I actually think the Aerofusion is great, its awesome to see some low cost FFB flight stick options, i think we are witnessing the dawn of proper FFB in flight simulation. But theres no doubt that the Rhino looks, and clearly is, a much better unit. Hence the price difference
