Is there someplace that states current wait time for getting one? Trying to decide if I should fill

Is there someplace that states current wait time for getting one? Trying to decide if I should fill out the order form or if it is fruitless at this stage of the game. The only info I found is from July when it was a year wait

Col. Sanders•1/13/24, 3:05 AM

There is no cost to get on the wait list, so no reason not to. Also it seems like a lot of people are not able to purchase them when they come up. So it seems like most people are getting their orders sooner than expected, albeit it's still a decent wait.

I ordered mid-May and got it this week. Worth the wait!

LLake So how does the WinWing adapter work? I have a couple WinWing grips I would love...

J2_NobiWan•1/13/24, 2:53 PM

The adapter translates the full functionality of the WW grip to the Rhino. You will have all the extra buttons and axis. One exception is probably the stick shaker that is integrated in some WW grips. But with the Rhino you have a better option for these effects anyway. Don't know about the SimAppPro. I also don't know but doubt very much that the adapter would make the ww grip work on a virpil/TM base. I believe it is working withe the rhino only.

VetteOP•1/13/24, 3:37 PM

Good to know. I use a VKG gunfighter 3 with the MCGU grip. Wondering if it will be too heavy. I also have the older plastic MCG but rather not go back to it.

probably best to private message the bot instead of sharing your e-mail address with the public

I was trying to

Sunshine•1/13/24, 4:20 PM

Yeah, I wanted to avoid that

Jon (Bounty_V)•1/13/24, 4:39 PM

plenty of people use the mcgu just fine

Sunshine•1/13/24, 5:42 PM

Is there a waiting period for the DIY kits? My order was moved to "processing". Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask.

No, the kits are quick. Usually a few business days.

Dudeman•1/14/24, 2:09 AM

ok whats the deal. do i need VPforce configurator still if Ive donwloaded the new joystick VPforce software?

Dudeman•1/14/24, 2:10 AM

It looks like there are a lot more options in the old software

DDudeman It looks like there are a lot more options in the old software

walmis•1/14/24, 6:16 AM

What do you mean?

Dudeman•1/14/24, 6:22 AM

I guess to be more specific, the software defined end stops. I don’t see an option for that in the new software. I had to use the old configurator to access that. Plus other stuff like breakout force for example. Not that I use that one

walmis•1/14/24, 6:33 AM

They're all there

Dudeman•1/14/24, 6:37 AM

Is that not the old software though? As it stands now I have 2 different programs to interface with the VPforce Rino

Dudeman•1/14/24, 6:38 AM

I’m just wondering if the new software was meant to replace the old one, or if they work together now

walmis•1/14/24, 6:49 AM

1.0.16 is the latest one

Dudeman•1/14/24, 6:55 AM

@walmis is this not associated with you then?

Dudeman•1/14/24, 6:56 AM

It’s 3rd party?

walmis•1/14/24, 6:57 AM

Oh, you confused the firmware configuration software with the telemetry effects app

walmis•1/14/24, 6:57 AM

Yeah those are two different tools for the Rhino

Dudeman•1/14/24, 6:58 AM

Got it, that answers my question. Thanks

Andre•1/14/24, 11:45 AM

Are there plans to integrate the two programs? As a noob i find it quite confusing how the settings from the Configurator influence the Telem effects.

walmis•1/14/24, 12:24 PM

No, the scope of both programs is very different, so they will stay separate. Mostly the "volume" sliders in the configurator Settings tab affect the telem effects, but those will be available to control via telem too.

smitty•1/14/24, 3:04 PM

think of Configurator settings as allowed hardware maximums, and TelemFFB just reads game data and makes effects up to those maximums

Dudeman•1/14/24, 3:57 PM

How would you tune Configurator then? Just move all the sliders to 100%?

smitty•1/14/24, 3:59 PM

for spring, maybe yes. telem doesnt change inertia or friction though, so set them how you like.

Andre•1/14/24, 4:10 PM

So what effects are used by Telem? Spring, Constant, Damper?

walmis•1/14/24, 4:13 PM

Telem mainly generates various PeriodicPeriodic rumble effects, some use ConstantConstant such as elevator droop effect, SpringSpring - for dynamic spring forces in MSFS

Number481•1/14/24, 4:16 PM

you can also adjust dampening in some of the effects too... But as of today, the %s you set in TelemFFB are not equal to the slider %s in configurator. Rather, they are a % of whatever the slider in configurator is set to

Andre•1/14/24, 7:37 PM

Thank you!

Mack•1/14/24, 11:28 PM

Anyone use a virpl constellation grip on the boeing NLR sim seat? If so what size of extension do you use?
