I'm extremely excited to see my order request email today after 7 months of anticipation! Is a throw

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.

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 Bushman•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?

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

Bob Bushman•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

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

Thank you

Bob Bushman•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!

DDAPA Thanks man....appreciate it. Mine ran into a few FedEx delays. It says tomorro...

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.

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?

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

For someone who does not have pedals yet, what would be the best choice between the Crosswind and Virpil Ace pedals to install an FFB kit?

Reaktionslos•12/22/23, 12:15 PM

Is it still comfortable to steer?

18 and 16 has some numbers in the manual. also some details are available in some NASA flight testing doc

Bob Bushman•12/22/23, 1:29 PM

The 16 is as disconnected as it can get as it relies on force sensing and not positon.

true, unless one day Mr.Walmis can perform his black magic again and add force sensing mode to VPForce

Bob Bushman•12/22/23, 1:41 PM

Would be nice, but unfortunately a force sensing gimbal would be the only thing the rhino can't do.

Guess I still need to get a realsim..

actually Walmis once said it's technically possible..and the aforementioned AeroFusion is planning to implement it on their advanced bases, tho not sure how good it will be
