Well you need to be in shape if you choose to live in the Himalayas

Nah, everyone who moves here just end up gjetting a subaru

After reserving in May I'm finally #2 on the list! Anybody have an estimate on shipping time to Texas?

B34ker•12/29/23, 4:59 PM

Wow, got my nearing completion notification this morning! Sooner than I thought, I was figuring at least 2 more months, so that's great!

GiulioMan•12/29/23, 8:10 PM

What?!?!? Says 1 Rhino to go!! Hooray!

RetroGamer•12/30/23, 5:11 PM

Does anyone in here have experience mounting a Rhino onto a 8020 pit? (Sim-Lab P1-X)
So far I have not found Joystick Base Mounting Hole Patterns for the Rhino. This would be useful template for various Sim-Rig users.

The technical drawings with hole pattern is in the manual.

Are you going to mount it permanently?

Bob BushmanOP•12/30/23, 7:09 PM

Ok just testing this on my desk.
And I already want another one....

TTonyM Are you going to mount it permanently?

RetroGamer•12/30/23, 7:31 PM

Good question: the seat and the racing pedals are installed on sliders. Worked moderatly well with Warthog side mounted. Now, with Rhino middle installation, I have to figure out some quick release system, to switch between setups,

Ace Simulations•12/30/23, 7:34 PM

What is the lead time for just the Kit with motors and electrical board?

Fierce_Fire•12/30/23, 7:46 PM

Just a few shipping days, I think I had my package sent notification within the day, if not the day after

Ace Simulations•12/30/23, 7:48 PM

Thanks!

Hey @lone_oberon,
So the last Shipped RHINO is #0322 on 2023-12-29
Average waiting time from preorder to shipped is 215 days, median is 228 days, max is 407 days
318 Rhinos are shipped in total

Duchess ✈•12/30/23, 10:38 PM

Sweet! I might either have the last Rhino shipped in 2023 or the first shipped in 2024!!

audax•12/30/23, 11:28 PM

So...I am really enjoying my Rhino, but now that the Aim-120 isn't totally stupid anymore, I find myself flying the F-16C more than any other plane. I feel a bit stupid

audax•12/30/23, 11:29 PM

Is there already a PoC in a branch somewhere for force sensing?

audax•12/30/23, 11:31 PM

Full power friction and spring mode while measuring the force required to hold the stick should be all that's needed, shouldn't it?

Jon (Bounty_V)•12/31/23, 12:22 AM

it was explained before around a year ago (as in my paraphrasing may be widely inaccurate) but essentially the motors aren't designed for that kind of behavior and long term use could damage them

Fierce_Fire•12/31/23, 12:26 AM

audax•12/31/23, 12:31 AM

Well okay, then I'll close that chapter. Thanks for the info

Jon (Bounty_V)•12/31/23, 12:32 AM

i also recall that even if it was set up in such a way to achieve a similar effect, it wouldn't feel as good nor be as capable as actual force sensing

Jon (Bounty_V)•12/31/23, 12:33 AM

it wouldn't be 'smooth' if that makes sense

Jon (Bounty_V)•12/31/23, 12:34 AM

I'm sure someone who knows more than I can correct me where needed and/or provide a better explanation

audax•12/31/23, 12:35 AM

I guess I'll just have to build a decent profile for the F-16 with very stiff springs and a lot more resistance near the axis limits so that it feels more natural to me.

audax•12/31/23, 12:35 AM

Is there a repository for TelemFFB aircraft profiles?

Jon (Bounty_V)•12/31/23, 12:36 AM

possibly in the knowledge base threads

Jon (Bounty_V)•12/31/23, 12:36 AM

'rhino profile sharing'

Jon (Bounty_V)•12/31/23, 12:38 AM

or the telemffb thread

audax•12/31/23, 12:48 AM

Ah, the thread has exactly what I was looking for!
